Nah if we ever make it to the finals, Raptors vs Grizzlies and Raptors vs Thunder imo would be great physical matches. Raptors vs Warriors, Warriors would just run the Raptors into the ground.

3 straight empty possessions by Kemba Walker in the final minute leading to a turnover and 2 misses. I'm a bit suprised they didn't go to anyone else, mainly Jefferson.

Poor coaching by the Hornets.

From all the end of game situations I've seen with them, it's usually Kemba iso.

Was really expecting more from Charlotte this season. Just checked the conference standings and they're bottom 3rd in the East.

Steven Adams is not a stiff

I didn't understand why everyone was riding their cocktail in the offseason because of the Lance Stephenson signing. He does absolutely nothing to address their needs and has been a proven locker room cancer. Indiana is missing all of their best players besides Roy Hibbert and they're playing way better as a team just because they don't have Stephenson plaguing the locker room.

Ibaka goofs, he goaltends his own teammate's Morrow's clutch 3.

There was lots of excitement about the backcourt pairing of Walker & Stephenson. I hope this guy didn't follow through on putting his money where his mouth was.

...him and kemba are 23 and 24 they are only going to get better. There is not 3 backcourts in the league that will be better than ours this year and I would be willing to put big money on that.

Best center in the league. Gasol > Howard.

Marvin Williams has played 353 Minutes without a FT attempt this season.

Is this some kind of record to start a season?

I was browsing a sports betting site my friend showed me today. Pretty interesting that there's so many different things to bet on in a single game. First team to score, get to 10,20,30, both team totals, winner at half time, etc.

$20 on the Raptors beating the Suns by 14-16 points would net you $220.

$20 on the 76ers winning the championship would get you $30,000. :lol:

Live betting is the best. Past two years made a killing betting and against Raptors when they are down up big. For example when they were down by double digits you probably could have gotten Raptors +11and made easy money

Just thought the Walker and Jefferson's playoff experience would pay off this season. I wasn't expecting them to be top 4 but with how the East is, I expected them to be at least in 6-8 range. But bottom 3. :lol:

Gives me a lot of hope for Jonas' future. When I look at their games Valanciunas is a very less polished version of Gasol. What Jonas is lacking is that mastery over the craft that Gasol has. Gasol is just so confident in everything he does. Jonas is sometimes robotic in the decisions he makes. Once he starts pulling up for jumpers with confidence and no hesitation and sees the defense coming a lot faster he's going to be an all star.

What would Al Jefferson look like at PF next to Jonas? I know he mostly plays C but that would give other teams fits in the glass as he's a great rebounder. Not the best defensively but if we could not give up Amir and make him our backup C. I think al Jeff wouod upgrade out overall talent and provide post scoring that we really need. He's a pro and gives u damn near 20-10 every night something you can't say about any of our bigs, or many bigs at all...

Al Jefferson just isn't a PF. If him and Jonas were our starting frontcourt we'd get destroyed on defense.

Brent Barry on NBA Gametime just called the Cleveland game the most complete game from start to finish that weve played all year.... :?...

Did he even see the 24-6 start we had to that game? Hes talking out of his ***

Milwaukee game for sure was our best!
