Some of us saw it.

Why?

Ochai.has.been great too

Ya... during our contention/championship years, we were 11 deep. Injuries happen during a season and now we can finally play through them.

Get used to winning, boys.
50-32.

I dont like your pessimism

50 wins only?

If it helps, when I made this prediction back in the summer, I also predicted a loss in the ECF.

Ingram done for the night? Vegas knew this would be a blowout?

Okc east...except this was our concept all along they just beat us to it

This is what we all hoped the team would look like play like when we traded for BI. Now I want to see how we do against a more physical team. Hawks are physically slight against us so we just bullied them. Bucks would be a good test.

Get the bench in and let them grind this out.

Did you just take my comment and do some self reflecting? lol

Get out of this positive thread please. You have been brutal in here as usual

Positive thread… I literally have been posting positive things about Rj and Ingram and the general performance of the team. I also just said Barnes looked good tonight being opportunistic in the exact post you replied to. Why are you ignoring this? People are literally arguing about female refs.

You started it calling him delusional man...

I responded to his post calling people criticizing Barnes “trolls.” So no I didn’t start it. Again don’t gaslight. Be objective. Tell me how calling people trolls isn’t an attack…

Most noticeable aspect of this team’s starting lineup. The Raptors look big and are actually playing like it.

IQ actually looks like he put some size on. Gradey looks a bit stronger too. We definitely have an identity on this team, we are going to be a pain to play against.
