Lowry was awful and FVV is a complete defensive liability. Has Lin really been that bad this last month? Cause I can't see him being any worse than those 2.

I thought the whole point about thar comment was Kawhi wouldn't want to play with Old Lebron after playing with all these old heads right now.

Old Lebron is 10x better than whatever Raps have right now except for Kawhi. Am i wrong?


The Raptors won 21 more games than the Lakers...w/ Kawhi resting 22 games.

I’m not sure why he’d be thinking he needs to jump ship to a lottery team over one 1st round loss where he himself had a chance to tie it up and missed the shot.

At least post photoshops of him in the jerseys of playoff teams if you’re gonna do that type of thing. Smh.

lol "lackluster" lowry averaged 17/9/4 on 51% from the field (44% from 3) in last year's playoffs. Let's stop with this nonsense.

I want to pick Raptors in 5 but Raptors never make it easy on themselves, i'll go with 6.


Still feeling good about your boy Lowry? How many years it takes?

I always thought Lowry was the bigger choker between him and Derozan. Now there’s no escaping the full force of criticism. Dude went 0-2 at the free line. Raps big mistake was keeping this bum.

Dude im not saying that the Lakers are better than the raptors. I said Old Lebron is better than whatever raps have had. They mentioned why would Kawhi want to play with Old Lebron after having played with Old Gasol etc..My Reply was Old Lebron is 10x better.

Watching NBA TV and Steve Smith is saying that Nurse should "hug Lowry and give him confidence."

What kind of Disney Channel Original Movie BS is that? Lowry has been to numerous playoffs and makes $30 million a year. If he doesn't have confidence at this stage of his life, then he should be traded in July.

After today's two very interesting EC games, this is my prediction for both the Raptors and the Sixers: The Raptors use this game as a motivation to play better and go on and win the series 4 - 2. The Sixers on the other hand start fighting with each other, and never get on track and lose their series 2 - 4.
So, if you're a Raptor's fan, don't worry, you still got this (sorry Orlando), but if you're a Philly fan - get ready for some dark days ahead!!! (oh, and congrats to Brooklyn)!!

Magic in 4? Raps have been swept twice in their last 2 playoff runs, could be in store for number 3. They're gonna be in a world of hurt with just Siakam and Lowry next year.

Lowry had a bad game. He’s still an all-star and as hyped as I am for this win, I expect Toronto to re-calibrate and come out hard for game 2. Please stop hating on Lowry.

Siakam is SO poised too. Not rattled by anything. You guys have a great player there. It’s going to be a good series. I’m obviously hopeful for the upset, but Toronto is a real team.
