PG: JV Shares Spirit Bomb, Raps Drop Purple Rain

[Dennis 37]

PG does no wrong by the refs. He could be choking Demar with his bare hands and they wouldn't call it.

This right here, he's getting an absurd amount of respect from the refs, I guess they realize that he's all the Pacers have got.

Makes you think it is league directed instead of mob corruption.

[SonOfRoy]

Oh I wanna hear the Indiana announcers. Any clips or quotes?

George is an excellent defender but Derozan needs to get his head out of his ass. The only Raptor will a negative +/-. Too many forced shots yet again.

you are clearly looking at box scores and not watching the game sir

Demar was awful again, didn't silence ****

He had 2-3 passes that led to the assist that ended up with a three due to the double being brought to him.

His shot selection has turned back a little due to him forcing it a bit to 13-14, 14-15 Demar (which is mental to me), but his ability to play out of the double is creating offense.[/quote

He had a nice pass to carroll coming out of a spin move. Carroll hit the 3

[Death Knight]

While yall arguing whether Demar played well or not, you can't argue that he did do better than the first 2 games.

I'm just glad they won, and maybe there is a chance we win this series after all. I don't want the Raptors to continue to be an embarrassment in the NBA, this time going down as the 2nd seed. This cannot happen.

[Double Helix]

Having a big true SF like Carroll play both ways like that just changes everything for us. I feel better imagining us against Deng or Lebron. Having Powell there is awesome too but just that extra size on contests and when battling for positioning makes a big difference.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Cory Joseph has been phenomenal in this series.

36.8% shooting, man!
Did he contribute better defensively?

I didn't catch most of the game unfortunately.

[JV4MVP]

We won this for Prince. RIP

Paul George: "I won't go 6-19 again"

Next game 6-18

If only DD could provide 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 6 assists when going 6 for 19. All while being the offensive on the entire team, which thankfully he isn't.

**** ya man it sucks... only if he could be a 6'10 sf instead of a 6'7 sg. It would kinda make a difference.

[LRJ]

Wow reddit legend's level of gif.
You made this fam?

It was made from that reddit SSJgif community, as a present to the Raps fandom.

Lol I made it and someone posted it on that subreddit. But it's a present to all the Raps fans.

Damn fam, that gif is amazing. Can't even imagine how long it would have taken to make it.

[Thespianoid]

A lot of fans just see PPG and assume that the player is good or bad. Heck, Sportsnet just lead with saying "Demar Derozan silences his critics." Really? Did he? After starting the game 3-3 and the first quarter 4-8, he only made 3 more shots. One of those shots was with less than a minute left in the game and the Pacers had already pulled their starters. Plus, he was benched basically the whole 4th.

Strong post content to username.

Stats hardly tell the full story.

Okay... tell me the story. I'd like to hear it. Because you can argue that his impact is that he draws a lot of attention and frees up guys, but we've played better without him on the floor. Our biggest leads were when he wasn't out there. He keeps talking about making adjustments and implying that he's going to show the 'haters'. He isn't doing anything. He got 2 rebs, 3 assists and 2 tov. Hardly a great stat line from a guy who has the ball 25+% USG rate.

I think he was agreeing with you. Saying that your username (UneducatedFan) is not representative of your strong post content

Contrary to what a lot of people think, I feel Demar played "okay"
He still made bone headed plays and I still feel he played the worst out of all the raptors who played tonight but he was making the extra passes.
He did get burned on a defensive possession on ISOs but asking him to guard paul who basically has everything on him..is asking a lot.
He still is forcing his game but the game is starting to slow down for him.

I hope casey also stops running those top of the key Demar/George Isos...what the hell...I dont think that has worked once this entire series.

But damn..Casey and his staff schooled Vogel tonight. Crazy stuff.
Demarre brought his A game.
If we can take one more off Indiana at our 2nd home, it will be huge.

[earth007]

It's confirmed, OakleyDokley is a time traveler. That was a fun game. DD still played like ass though. I loled when he pretty much stole a rebound from JV in the last minute to boost his stats.

If we make to the 2nd I hope to god Demar picks it up. I know he love to verse Miami. Lowry shot look pretty good in the 2nd half. We're nowhere near our peak yet pretty scary if everyone gets it going

Not sure if this was posted already, but post game here http://www.nba.com/raptors/live

Such a beauty watching DMC staying in front of PG and moving those puppies

[JShuttlesworth]

Carroll, Lowry, Patterson. Those were my 3 favourite players tonight. CoJo gets honourable mention.

JV was the MVP again. They had a game plan focused on him and he still dominated the paint. When our guys beat their man off the dribble the bigs never helped. They were too focused on Boxing out JV. He opened up everything for us!

Yeah, the Indiana feed broke down a play showing JV's importance. Also that he could be a top 3 center, All-NBA possibility.
