i hope we win but gotta admit i dont have a good feeling about this with pascal playing like he's bruno.

hope this isnt the end of the 2014-current Ujiri raptors. Was a solid run, but we all knew this stripped-down team never had the firepower to actually compete in the postseason.

If we dont come out strong then I don't want to be on this site lol

Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. Celtics matchup was one that I feared the most out of any playoff team. Raptors did nothing to dispel that fear at any point this season.

He doesn't need your love.

Siakam gonna show why he's worth every penny of that contract!

A special P-Spice performance coming right up ....

Brad Stevens is as good a coach as Nick Nurse.

Stevens turned the mediocre roster below into a 53-win Eastern Conf Finals team in 2016-17:

Isiah Thomas
Avery Bradley
Amir Johnson
Jae Crowder
Al Horford
Marcus Smart
Kelly Olynyk
Terry Rozier

Fred looked like pre Fred Jr Fred in yesterday’s game . Today we found out his family had been quarantining in Orlando. So close and yet so far. Maybe getting to be with Fred Jr will have that positive impact once again?

I expect a win here, but it's going to be tough if we spot the Celtics another ~20-point lead after one quarter.

FVV won't miss 9 of 11 3FGA again, Siakam will surely be better (not hard after having one of his worst games of the year lol) and Powell/Ibaka will give us a boost off the bench. Gasol needs to get his head in the game on the defensive end and Lowry needs to be more aggressive offensively.

On the other side, expect more variance from Boston's role players. Theis dominated the boards and hit all 7 FTA (career 75%), Smart killed us on corner/catch and shoot threes (33% and 31% respectively on the season) and Williams should be exploited a lot more.

Fred can you not play like a scared bitch? Thank you.

He conquered his sixers struggles. Now the Celtics.

C_Money · Post #15 » by **C_Money** » Mon Aug 31, 2020 7:06 pm

Gotta change the starting lineup here. Bring on more firepower to match the Celtics.

NICE GT! C'mon, let's goooo Raptor-sauruses!

Prepping for the sweep. We stink. Gasol is a mess. Pascal is awful and Norm is guarding Tatum which is a joke. RHJ and Boucher needed for length but nurse sticking to small lineup. We haven’t felt pain in a while so a sweep would bring back memories of being embarrassed.

1 game at a time. #marathon-not-sprint

I'll just pretend Game 1 don't exist because their head wasn't in it mentally aside from OG and Ibaka. Anyways pay them back by blowing them out

Expecting Nothing from Pascal and if he does something then it's a bonus. If he ever wakes up we will win this series (Doubtful)
Expecting Lowry to not play bad 2 straight games
Expecting FVV going bounce back from his poor shooting
Expecting Playoff Pow Returns
Expecting Gasol and Ibaka lineup be played more
OG did great and Expecting him to continue to lock down Tatum and Kemba next.

I know everyone is feeling down from that Game 1 loss but remember at the end of the day we are still the Champs. Don't let this loss break your spirit

Have you watched Lowry in the bubble? He's been worse than Siakam. I don't get why he's getting a pass. Lowry needs to step up big time. I have way more confidence in Siakam than Lowry.
