The paint is going to be a layup line for the Raptors again, especially with Booker starting.

Gortat is getting get bullied inside.

I'm only going to say this once for our visitors from Ontario, Canada.

That phrase "Representing the most powerful city in the world..." is put in game threads as snark because, if you go to Wizards games at the Verizon Center, the PA announcer actually starts intros like that. And we all think it's cheesy.

People who know and go to games recognize the snark and laugh about it.

Typing "lool" just makes you look like you're not in on the joke and are a sad and isolated outsider.

Canada spawned Beiber AND Drake, therefore Canada should be carpet nuked to oblivion.

Didn't take too long for the Raptors trolls to pop up on another boards GT again.

lets face it. The Raps are playing damn near perfect bball right now. I think I hear them talk about Indy alot but they kinda remind me more of a poor man's Spurs.

With that being said, they are not unbeatable. This game reminds me of the one I watched last week when Chicago went in there and beat them. We can do that too (if Witt doesnt screw it up)

They almost lost to the Cavs last night, refs handed them the W if you ask me.

Let's see if Wale dares to show his face in Toronto. Matt Devlin is waiting...

I'd be a bit more optimistic if we had one of Booker or Seraphin healthy. At least then we'd have a chance at an "X Factor" type of influence if one of them happened to have a great game. But without them, we are going to get owned on defense so bad that even a hot shooting night from the guards won't be enough to win the game.

Heck, that Orlando game was too close for comfort even though everyone shot well.


X-Factor?? We got Al baby!!!!

The Bulls are arguably better than Toronto so it was no surprise they dropped that one. This coming from a Raps fan.

Chicago beat us because they were playing a very physical game from the start, and even then it came down to the wire where Derozan had a shot to win in the last 10 seconds, except he got blocked by Butler.

You guys are no Chicago. And the only way you're gonna win this game is if your offense is on point, especially in the first half.

Chicago is fairly easy for us to handle IMO. We struggle with athletic bigs which you guys have. Chicago has bruisers, and one high energy skilled guy in Noah. I'd love to face CHI in the playoffs tbh, but the raptors.....eh unless our bigs actually playing with the same energy your guys do... :/

I also expect CHI to break down very soon. They aren't deep, their best players aren't "young" and I'm still baffled ya'll lost to them.

You guys have a great player in lowry and very good players across the board, I don't see how ya'll don't roll roughshot over the east.

Lastly, why no massive gains by Val? I was checkin out his advance stats and while good for someone his age, I was expecting so see slightly more production, or does barely any offense get called for him?

PS **** Canada :P
