PG: Lowry is dumpster juice, Raptors secure the L.

RaptorsNorth · Post #241 » by **RaptorsNorth** » Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:45 am

I use to think we had a chance at keeping kawhi but, if we're still playing like this at the deadline then just trade him. He's not resigning here to play with lowry to shorten his career.. Dude is doing way too much man.. He's guarding the Greek freak and Middleton, and still has to go against 2 guys while lowry just bricks open 3's.. If lowry made that wide open 3 kawhi got him this game was over!

Those years were some of my best years personally.

Got to focus on other aspect of life instead of rushing home to watch the game spending time online about the Raptors.

Social life was booming back then.

I think for this upcoming rebuild I’ll start my own business.

I graduate uni in 2019. This perfect time. Find a wifey and get a dream job

Rebuild ends. Hopefully successful and my kids can witness a good raptors team

Tickets should be dirt cheap

Our all star PG can't shoot anymore
Our C that was supposed to be an all star forgot how to finish at the rim or play defense
Our bench sucks
We have no consistent 3 point shooters
The coach looks like he doesn't know what he's doing when the going gets tough

We were up 7 or 8 in the 2nd when the starters went to rest. Bench unit with Ibaka comes in. Not only did they let the Bucks come back but also gave them a 2 point lead.

Have a little faith, we managed to get the bucks to a one possession game, and the bucks are legit this year (2nd or 3rd best team in the league). This with Lowry scoring zero points. We are facing weaker opponents like the Clippers, Blazers, and Pacers. So should we lose all the games? Crap logic.

So your post again makes no sense, as it usually it does.

I like Siakam's improvements this season, but I think he can do his thing starting or from the bench.

I feel like they should switch OG & Siakam. See how that shakes out. OG might help provide more spacing if he sticks within his 3+D role & Siakam can help Fred & Delon speed up the offense when the bench is in.

Hopefully this Kawhi move wasn't just something to sell the fans on, and that Masai is truly serious about winning. If he is, he will make a trade.

OG 4-21 last 3 point shooting btw

I don't think he will get back on track this season
Derozan is on the phone and is in his head nightly
Kyles mentally screwed now, as he has lost all focus

dude are you guys really this delusional ? The bucks still have hill and smith on the bench watching. We are not beating that team with this roster.

Miles is a pretty good inbounder and would have been a threat for a shot off the inbound. I can’t fault that move

Everybody is a treat for a shot
BUT we needed a basket, NOT another Miles shot

I think we should blame Nurse for that, He's being stubborn and playing Delon/Vanvleet/CJ/OG/JV when he should be playing Delon/Vanvleet/CJ or Norm when he's back/Pascal/JV, I thought he was resting Pascal earlier today and start 2nd quarter with Delon/Vanvleet/CJ or Norm when he's back/Pascal/JV our real bench mob but nope back to the same bench scrubs :banghead:

OK, why is nobody mentioning the travel by Brogdon at half court when the double team came? Seriously, it's one of the most obvious missed travel calls I've ever seen in a tight game, yet no one seems to know that it happened. I feel like I've taken crazy pills!!!

Uncle Dennis · Post #256 » by **Uncle Dennis** » Mon Dec 10, 2018 1:51 am

I was so wrong about Lowry being mentally tough. I blamed his previous playoff woes on injuries, which to be fair, he had many in the playoffs. The problem is, if he was mentally tough he wouldn't be playing this bad for this long. Not hitting double digits for 5 games is inexcusable.

Read on Twitter

He's not a big game player.

Giannis gets off to a hot start. Giannis with a quick foul on Lowry. Ok, fine.

9:07 of the first, Pascal takes it to the rim and Giannis with a clear blocking foul, 5 feet in front of the ref, no call.

(yeah Pascal made the shot)

This frickin' Entertainment Business depresses me sometimes. I hope gambling turns it into a real sport some day. When that day comes, Giannis has two quick fouls to start this game.

#NBE

9:05 of the 3rd, another clear Giannis blocking foul. No call.

Refs cost us another one with their 'star non calls'.

It's ugly right now, but I wouldn't blow things out of proportion. It's not like we're losing by large margins. Even when the shots aren't falling our defense is giving us a great chance to win.

We'll regress to the mean at some point. When the shots start falling, watch out.

Finally somebody else see's what I've been saying about nurse. He's not running any real plays and he's over playing the bench.. His new favourite move is going small no matter what.
