Just don't add Serge Ibaka to that high IQ list. We need to limit his bad BBIQ.

IF Only Serge had Gasol's IQ....he'd be one of the best players in the game right now

Sportsnet is going to do their own Broadcast. They have always prefered to do it. You are going to see Matt and Leo.

If you want the ABC Broadcast, watch it on ABC. Last I checked when I had Cable, ABC was a basic cable channel in Toronto, also IPTVs and Online Streams by default have ABC. You can also use your TV's Tuner to scan Satellites for ABC and watch it free.

I am going to watch it on ABC, honestly, TNT and ABC calling Raptor Games have been surreal. The Crowd also sounds louder.

Raptors have come a long way since Tyler "Psycho T" Hansbrough and Joey "Most Versatile Player in the NBA" Graham for a time used to Start for them.

I still remember in 2013.

Raptors @ Lakers: Rudy Gay gets traded Mid-Season. We win @ LA...with only 6 players. (Amir Johnson went off)

Nothing was the same after that

Amazing what one seemingly insignificant trade did to start a winning culture and completely turn a franchise around.

Thanks! I fully agree, I always watch the american broadcasts. I'm honestly surprised they aren't just carrying the ABC feed. Like how the blue jays don't broadcast their playoff games.

Let's say we win (hypothetically speaking), do we visit the white house or our PM? Can't believe this isn't a troll question lol I ain't making a thread about it for obvious reasons.

We would visit the white house, but preferably after fat Russian traitor and hookerqueen gold digger first lady are out.

They will visit Trudeau, Trump doesent invite Basketball Teams anyways, so the idea is moot, even if the Raptors wanted to go.

Why not both if they had a sane president...but they don't so they probably wouldn't even accept the invitation to the White House

This is the ultimate test for everyone including Nurse. He needs to stick Kawhi on whoever the best perimeter scorer is going to be out of KD or Thompson. If he adjusts slowly, that will be an easy loss. Nurse also has to be prepared for a possible Cousins appearance which totally changes everything if he's remotely good. The difference in rebounding between Cousins and our whole team is huge. Even if he can't score much due to rust, his rebounding will give the Raps fits.
Kyle must make life hell for Steph. Nobody can overhelp leaving the greatest collection of shooters ever with room to shoot.
Green needs to show up or sit down! I love him, but 4 on 5 basketball won't be enough.
Gasol needs to keep taking and making open shots. When the double comes to Kawhi, he needs targets to pass to who hit their shots. If that happens we win. If it doesn't, the odds aren't good.

I guess he stopped when the Warriors refused to go and he did his baby act of pretending it was his choice. What a sack of s...

Visit Trudeau. He's been a disappointment to those who voted for him, but at least he still seems like pleasant guy for the most part. He won't say something racist or controversial the moment he meets Kawhi and sees his hair. lol.

American media saying that no KD means Kawhi on Curry or Klay, but I would say nullifying Draymond's input onto the game is more important.

The casual fan tuning into the Finals might care and that's who ABC is gonna target I imagine.

I hope we can get OG back, I know most say that he won't be a contributor, but Kawhi will get doubled, and Marc is always looking for cutters/shooters. OG/McCaw are our best cutters and with the ball movement we have finally resurrected (thank you Marc/Nurse) they will be integral to the offense.
