GT: Raptors vs. Spurs 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:45 pm

When: 8:30 PM ET, March 10, 2015
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

We've been on roll lately and the Raptors have really been struggling so this should be another easy one for us.

Go Spurs!!

Here's hoping the good guys get six straight and their 40th of the season.

Go Spurs!

We are looking pretty good in a sloppy game. What happened to the Raptors??? They were playing soo well earlier in the year and now they look lost. Just throwing up bad shot after bad shot and no defense.

Kawhi, Danny, and Tony going crazy tonight! I hope this is real and a not product of playing bad teams. Not that I'm expecting to destroy Cleveland like this Thursday, but that game could be a real confidence booster.

Kawhi's stat line is sickening.

Raptors made a bit of run this quarter. We've still got a 14 point lead but we can't let them get any closer.

How is that not a foul on Amir?? Raps are getting away with A LOT of physical play in the paint.

Hopefully Duncan's injury isn't anything serious. We can't afford to lose him.

Solid win. Raptors really made a game of it in the 4th though.

Kawhi is playing at an insane level. I think that's the most I've seen home dunk on fools. Not a pretty 2nd half, but a W is a W.

Kawhi killing it? Check. Parker with the great all-around game? Check. Danny shooting great? Check.

Win #40, and the streak stays alive. Timmy scared me at the end, but it didn't look that serious.

Bring on Cleveland... that game is going to tell us where we're really at right now.

Go Spurs!

Tony is looking like his usual self on this home stand, so that's a great sign.

And yeah.. Kawhi is really playing at an insane level. I don't think even Bowen changes a game this much with his defense. Bowen plays great man to man defense, but Kawhi does everything great whether that's man to man, or weakside help, getting blocks, steals..

Having had the fortune of watching MJ throughout his career, I can really see how Kawhi has modelled his game on his airness from tonight. He still has his moments where he struggles either on the dribble or when met by a defender at the rim but some of these flashes, truly are of brilliance. The pullups, the ease at which he gets to the hoop and is now even creating for others and the MJ-like dunks from standing starts.

I also heard Spurs haven't lost a game in March in two years. Shows we mean business. Looking positive for sure!

I am just glad the team is playing well and Parker is back to his normal !

Kawhi has been a beast in the past 5 games or so.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

Your team is amazing to watch! My 2nd favourite team!

Cheers,

From a Raptors' fan

Hopefully Duncan's injury isn't too serious!
