PG: Raps Drain the Swamp In Washington

Saw Infinity War this morning, and watched the Raptors close it out in 6 while the LeBrons are taken to game 7. What a great Friday.

Lowry was also steady, Derozan was a negative but the team got the win.

Lots of tips by bigs on misses. Delon's take it to the rack slashing left and right was the prettiest play of the game.

Why do people keep saying for once?

Casey has done this multiple times including earlier this series, during the playoffs last year and the year prior.

Is this the first Raptors game you've watched?

Yes this is my first time watching the basketball match.

Feels so nice to finally have a series win where the talent level between the two teams were close.

Raps shouldn't have taken 7 games to beat the horrific Pacers or Heat who due to Bosh's blood clot and Whiteside's injury in Game 3 had to play Winslow at the 5 and Deng/Iso Joe averaged 35+ minutes each. Bucks series was pretty ugly too

Seriously?

Beal was incredible tonight. And Wall was great all series.

Other than the last two 4th quarters, I though Washington as a team played well above their record.

Beal was good today but absolutely horrendous in Toronto. He didn't show up on the road.

Wall turned the ball over almost 5 times a game in this series, he shot 3 for 16 from three (44% overall), and his defensive intensity was lacking most of the time (normal for him).

They're overrated and always have been.

We don’t “get to wear them”. Pretty sure Nike mandates what jerseys teams wear nowadays.

I would say winning game 4 in the 2016 ECF against the Cavs was

He played well... did dd show up yet these playoffs?

Both Lowry and DeRozan played very well for the most part. Lowry was more consistent, but DeRozan was huge in our wins in games 2 and 5. The biggest issue has been Ibaka shooting 33% from the field and 30% on 3FGA while averaging 6 PPG in the last 5 games after an excellent game 1. We need much more out of our starting PF.

Especially if we face Cleveland in rnd 2.

Van Vleet is the heart of the bench. Casey did a good job with the substitutions in the 2nd half. Lowry played great. Happy we don't have to go 7

I cant believe it took this long for Casey to Realize that Siakam was a difference maker in this series. He was being criminally underused the first 5 games.

Siakam is by far our best one on one defender

Boogie! · Post #435 » by **Boogie!** » Sat Apr 28, 2018 2:38 am

also, we made a good run with the bench unit + jv in the 2nd q... no idea why casey doesnt do that more often... good perimeter d gives more leeway for jv, also having a good rebounder out there allows them to close possessions better and on offense it gives them another option to work with as someone who can shoot a bit, offensive rebound and also go 1 on 1 if it gets stagnant.

Siakam has been garbage this series until Fred came back.

I don't care who starts. But let Pascal play the 4th unless Ibaka is dominating on both ends of the court.
