GT crew got punked by Boston fans. Had I known none of them had the heart to make sure our forum wasn't invaded/shat on I'd be around more.

At the very least jump them if you can't go toe to toe. Fully loaded Raptor team losing to a depleted Boston team and the fanbase too. You even have Raptor fans suggesting users begin their posts with, "I come in peace" on other forums.

I will not ever do that. These are the supposed to the best days of our lives and you guys can't find a back bone. What was the obstacle here? You couldn't coordinate a defense on twitter? And yet you guys have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to criticize Caseys in game adjustments. I got this.


Take care of them for us.

Also... part of me wants the wizards, cavs and Celtics in the playoffs so we can really show if we're for real. That's the toughest route to finals but whatever man.

Sorry I couldn't help i'm on gaungdong vacation and probably not back until post season :wink:

It's honestly sad how desperate some of these Raps fans are to feel accepted. I see these guys dissing their own team on the GB to appease the hive mind there. Sucking up to the 76'ers after their win the other night and saying they were better than the Raps. Going on the Celtics board with the "I come in peace" line and trying to socialize with Celtics fans, even though one of their mods tried banning one of our own.

It's a disgrace. We as a board need proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence here. Enough with the simping and posting wack boy band songs.

We should tank to drop to second. Cavs are tied for 3rd with the sixers and pacers. Philly has a really easy schedule and it just seems more likely the cavs will end up 4th or 5th.

Listen guys, it could be worse. Just remember: a parallel universe exists in which Ben Uzoh doesn’t have a triple double in the final game of the 2011-12 season, and the Raps lose the game. In that universe, the Raptors draft Damian Lillard and don’t trade a pick for Kyle Lowry. That No. 12 pick becomes Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Raptors have a young core of Dame/DeMar/Giannis/Ed/JV for years to come.

I've secretly held some resentment for CJ Miles for the entire season; the guy offers NOTHING to the table besides 3 point shooting. But for a while he offered that and hit his shots, so there was no need to rag on him, but now that he's not offering that, and all the other warts of his game are being exposed (namely his horrible defense), he's reaching Serge Ibaka levels of hate.

That's because he's a role player, and 3 pt shooting is his only role. When he's not on, he's horrible. The real blame should go to the all around "leaders" of the team. Casey, Lowry, Derozan too. If they don't step up ultimately, we lose. CJ Miles RARELY loses you a game on his own (you could say he did against Boston), simply because he doesn't get the playing time to single handedly do that.

Dude is SO BAD when he tries to drive. It's a really scare sight. Just drives blindly into the paint and throws up a prayer.

Bruh stop being dramatic. Teams go through stretches like this all the time.

Both the warriors, cavs and rockets have gone through similar rough patches.

We all agree that this is the worst stretch of basketball we’ve played right? We’re 6-4 right? With multiple players hitting cold streaks right? And yet we haven't got blown out in any of those 4 loses. What does that tell you?

Look at our SRS and the SRS of past elite teams. We are right there in the mix of it. And in the past the only teams to have made it that far with non-elite SRS are LeBron lead teams.

It’s like you guys are willing to throw away a 65+ games of sample size for ~ 10 game sample size.

I get as humans we have tendency to think good things are short lived and bad things will last forever but come on. It’s like you guys get off on overreacting.

It's also contingent on Bryan Colangelo picking Lillard though. Pretty sure the guy he had at the top of his draft was Harrison Barnes.

I view him as a luxury. If he's hitting shots, he's great. If not, take him out immediately.

Too bad Casey views him as essential.
