GT: Toronto SNACCS @ Cleveland Shambliers - Tues, Apr. 3, 7PM TSN 4/5

[soloxylo]

#GTCrew slacking. Baseball crew had to come in and get y'all to 10 pages smh.

GT crew got punked by Boston fans. Had I known none of them had the heart to make sure our forum wasn't invaded/shat on I'd be around more.

At the very least jump them if you can't go toe to toe. Fully loaded Raptor team losing to a depleted Boston team and the fanbase too. You even have Raptor fans suggesting users begin their posts with, "I come in peace" on other forums.

Spoiler:

I will not ever do that. These are the supposed to the best days of our lives and you guys can't find a back bone. What was the obstacle here? You couldn't coordinate a defense on twitter? And yet you guys have the audacity, the unmitigated gall to criticize Caseys in game adjustments. I got this.

It's honestly sad how desperate some of these Raps fans are to feel accepted. I see these guys dissing their own team on the GB to appease the hive mind there. Sucking up to the 76'ers after their win the other night and saying they were better than the Raps. Going on the Celtics board with the "I come in peace" line and trying to socialize with Celtics fans, even though one of their mods tried banning one of our own.

It's a disgrace. We as a board need proper levels of pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence here. Enough with the simping and posting wack boy band songs.

Canadian Inferiority Complex.

Listen guys, it could be worse. Just remember: a parallel universe exists in which Ben Uzoh doesn’t have a triple double in the final game of the 2011-12 season, and the Raps lose the game. In that universe, the Raptors draft Damian Lillard and don’t trade a pick for Kyle Lowry. That No. 12 pick becomes Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Raptors have a young core of Dame/DeMar/Giannis/Ed/JV for years to come.

Ben **** uzoh held us back from a Dame/Demar/Giannis core for **** sake

It's also contingent on Bryan Colangelo picking Lillard though. Pretty sure the guy he had at the top of his draft was Harrison Barnes.

I mean the guy who salary dumped a first overall pick picked Damian Lillard. Colangelo is a fool if he didn't have Lillard at the top of his list.

Then again Raptors had Jose Calderon, winner of PG battles. Something improbable would have happened to Lillard anyway if the Raptors somehow drafted him with Jose still on the roster.

We should tank to drop to second. Cavs are tied for 3rd with the sixers and pacers. Philly has a really easy schedule and it just seems more likely the cavs will end up 4th or 5th.

why are we getting cocky??

with the way were playing there no such as needing to tank for anything also forget the 2nd round. I'll be shocked if we get out of first round

Bruh stop being dramatic. Teams go through stretches like this all the time.

Both the warriors, cavs and rockets have gone through similar rough patches.

We all agree that this is the worst stretch of basketball we’ve played right? We’re 6-4 right? With multiple players hitting cold streaks right? And yet we haven't got blown out in any of those 4 loses. What does that tell you?

Look at our SRS and the SRS of past elite teams. We are right there in the mix of it. And in the past the only teams to have made it that far with non-elite SRS are LeBron lead teams.

forget srs.

this isn't a stretch this is 10-15 games.

playoffs in 13 days

After last few years where we collapsed just like this foolish to think this isn't deju vu

Idk but BC was at the MIT conference a couple years ago and specifically brought up the uzoh game and said it costed us lillard lol

Ibaka needs to cut his D in half. I think it's slowing him down.

Jheeez. Wasn't there a rumour we could have traded JV and Calderon for James harden too. Dame/harden/Demar/Giannis/ primoz brezec or Patrick o Bryant

I think it was more likely demar+JV or even ross+JV. Either way JV was apparently the reason it got turned down

Casey was chasing meaningless wins at the end of the season, only to put a bug in Colangelo's ear to draft Ross. Smfh.

He might have had Lillard at the top of his board, but BC's also full of himself with these revisionist statements. He's always came out claiming years after that if a certain all star dropped to him he would have picked him, like Paul George off the top of my head. I know there's a lot more though.

So we could have easily had lillard/Giannis/harden as our core

Tbh i remember watching the 2012 "behind the draft" and it looked like ed stefanski was the driving force behind that pick lol

[VinBaker6]

Apparently Cavs fans see Jose as an elite defender lmao

[soloxylo]

This guy makes RaptorsLife look like Rosetta Stone

Read on Twitter

Makes Maytricks look like a Rhodes Scholar.

DC was stirring the pot, they were all drinking the kool-aid.

If Colangelo somehow was smart enough to draft Damian Lillard and Giannis and acquire James Harden by trading away DeMar and Jonas, he would still find a way to force Bustnani and Rudy Gay as the first and second options for as long as he could

[lebron stopper]

Bring him home Lmao

So your telling me to ignore the past 60 games in favour of the more recent 15 in which we are still like 10-5 and still playing playoff basketball.

And last year we went 14-9 to take third seed and actually struggled in the months of Dec and Jan. Exact opposite of this season.

I’m pretty sure it leaked that we were the team to promise him before the draft when he stopped taking workouts.

Thing is if Lilliard plays well that year and wins ROY there is no way Masai comes in for BC. And there is no way BC picks a project like Giannis.

[Inevitable]

Wtf are the Cavs doing? Everything is going bad lol
