I'm actually worried we might get those random "We want Lin" chants during games. Masai playing with our hearts and minds right now.

FVV is so overrated its embarassing. Jeremy Lin is a bettwe point guard than Fred van vleet. If nurs plays fvv over Lin it's because he's a moron. At t he very least they should be splitting PG du ties similar to fvv and Delon last year.

Maybe reduce FVV's minutes to 24 and give Lin 12 mins

Its great to welcome Lin to Toronto!

Anyone from Taiwan? There are now items for Lin as a Raptor! https://www.redbubble.com/people/hongkong/works/36945537-linsanity?asc=u

I think it is an interesting addition, but Lin is not expected to replicate the craze in MSG 7 years ago.

It really doesn't matter what Lin fans want...he was a backup to Trae Young on a lottery team. He'll be more than happy with 18-20 mins a game on a contender.

Yeah, we are PG heavy again - I can say this after I saw McCaw running point a lot last night. Nominally, MC is a wing, but he looked really comfortable there. Or was it 'Gasol Effect' ???

He originally said there wasn't much difference between Kawhi and DeRozan only to get flamed out by everyone and later say he's a top 5 player in the league.

I swear TMac just got some hate in his heart he won't let go that VC was the man here n not him.


Every year the organization brings back T-Mac to sit courtside to promote our former Raptors. I hope they stop doing that for T-Mac...


Same.

The dude didn't even rep it proudly...he just wanted out of Vince's shadow for his own team the whole time.


Eh, the biggest reason why T-Mac left Raptors during free agency was because the front office lowballed him with a crap offer.

Lmao! I don't know why but... I get triggered when players are followed for European origin but I enjoy seeing asians root for their guy. (I'm not Asian) does this make me racist?!!!!! I think so!!!

I think this forum is smart enough to make our own judgment about the lin stans. The people coming in to try and shape the narrative early in one way or another don't realize how that just backfires here.

Return to Toronto Raptors
