The hatred between these fan-bases is beautiful.

Oh, and someone needs to tell Johnson he needs more color in his ink as he's a weak second to the Birdman. How can you say "dumbest player in the NBA" to a fan base that's had to endure Josh Smith?

that was nasty right?

Not really, I understand it's Drummond the guy you guys wish you had drafted getting his arm put on a poster by a scrub but it's not that big of a deal. Drummond was rotating over into help side and wasn't in position or that shot would have been swatted into the stands. Seriously though Drummond puts up posters on a daily basis and I've never seen anyone get this hyped over it.

If you really want to see a filthy poster than someone post the most recent one of Valanciunas curling up in the fetal position while Archie Goodwin completely wrecks him. Now that's embarrassing :lol:

That one was much better and something I would consider more of a poster. Derozan wrecked Singler on that one pretty bad.

Raptors have been pretty bad when it comes to defending the three point line in first quarters in the last ten games. Now that SVG has the Pistons shooting a lot of threes, I expect the first quarter to be ugly for us. Brandon Jennings has also been a problem for us in the past. Far more nervous about this game than I was three weeks ago, that's for sure.

that was a sweet dunk by demar. left Drummond in the dust and then posterized singler, who was actually in good position.

We actually usually find ourselves trailing in the first qtr pretty bad as well so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Mostly because we don't start running 4 out 1 in until after around the 2nd and 4th qtrs, then it becomes bombs away from 3. we have been great in the second half of games but are success has been from much improved defense mostly. Were actually a really good defensive team now.

After what happened last time we played these guys on our home floor, I hope our guys take this one personally. Especially Drummond who got posterized...this is one of those games where he needs to just come out and dunk on everybody and grab 20 boards.

I like the Raptors as a team but not a lot of their fans. Hopefully we can get a W here and build even more confidence amongst our young players.

Raps fans have this deep distain for Drummond now, they will tell you it has nothing to do with passing up on him for quick toss Terrence Ross but I find it just sad how much effort they put in to ragging on him.

LOL the ACC is full even when the team is losing buddy.

Draft remorse and needing to puff Val up. Both players are pretty legit in their own respects.
