The trend of speeding up videos annoys me

"Look at this impressive thing that I had to speed up so it would look more impressive."

I agree with you.

I'm so jealous of the Celtics. They have Brad Stevens :noway:

Smart with the...not smart foul. Crowder and Thomas are hella mad.

Cleveland needs to blow it up. They beat the 76ers by less than the Raptors did and had to play LeBron 38 minutes.

LeBron: 37/9/7 on 15/22 shooting.

He's been shooting 43% from three since that stat of him shooting horrible came out, and been averaging 28/8/6 since then on 55% shooting, and the Cavs have gone 6-0 since that stretch.

Hope the Cavs can stay healthy.

Cavs vs GSW/Spurs/OKC would be such a blockbuster finals.

Last year's could have been really epic of not for all the injuries too.

People were pooping on the Raps for playing down to the Sixers but they're just competing lately, especially at home.

They played the Cavs even 'til the half and kept it close, with Lebron having a monster game and the starters playing lots of minutes (Bron/Love each played 37).

Sometimes your opponent just shows up.

1st overall, anyone? :banghead:


Thomas, Smart, Rozier
Bradley, Turner, Hunter
Simmons, Crowder, Young
Amir, Jerebko, Mickey
Olynyk, Zeller, Sullinger

Plus a boat load of cap space to sign a major FA.

I'm not a major fan of Demar (at least with how our team is constructed), but it would be interesting to see him on that kind of team. A well-coached, flow offense, with a player that can potentially be a franchise type player (Simmons), and a bunch of solid guys around them. You also have the Amir connection.

Shrey checks in for the Bros and discusses who he thinks is going to be on the move before the trade deadline!

Agree? Disagree?

Bulls down by 9 after 3.

It's kinda crazy that only the Warriors, Spurs, Cavs, Thunder and Clippers have a better record than us.

and we beat 4 of those teams...almost all 5.

Return to Toronto Raptors
