PG: Raptors 104 Knicks 99

[goinrogue]

Sorry guys but I’ve **** had it with nurse. I’m done.

[Scott Hall]

The Raptors have played way to many of these lackluster games since Xmas there is no excuse
for a team with this much talent to play this poorly so frequently. It's inexcusable and clearly
is a coaching issue.

[kai_bouche]

Bad idea not starting him, setting the wrong mentality

[Useyourhead]

That better be the both the first and last time Gasol doesn't start and doesn't play in crunch time or we need to be looking for a new head coach before the playoffs start.

Depends on the matchups, "first and last" I guarantee you this won't be the last and also we will not be getting a new coach

[Johnny Bball]

J.B. Bickerstaff managing JV minutes pretty spot on tonight.

[VancouverRaps]

That defence Marc played against DJ in the post on the fourth was fantastic.

He set some amazing screens too, that's huge for Nurse, can get Kawhi/Siakam/Lowry some mismatches with screens like that.

[Raptormonium]

This game was such a drag but the win is all that matters... on to the next one at home... finally! Hopefully it will be a much more exciting game for us and Big Spain.

[Red_Claw]

Only 1 assist by Gasol!? i thought he was a good passer....

[Basketball_Jones]

Best thing about tonight was Lowry hitting his threes. If he's rediscovered his stroke, we're in really good shape come playoff time.

OG needs to do something offensively. If he can't hit the three, he needs to have something he can go to on a regular basis.

He’s not even trying to shoot threes anymore he thinks he’s iverson

[artsncrafts]

Take this in

Miles scored more points than gasol in their first game for their respective teams

Delon has a team best +15 right now.

[Coco Costanza]

That was horrific

Basically Boston in beginning of season. Good players. No chemistry

Better get chemistry in next 24 games

Plus we'll have to factor in any buyout players we may get.

[Brinbe]

I hope Nurse is smart enough to try a Lowry/Kawhi/Pascal/Ibaka/Gasol lineup

[soloxylo]

A win is a win, Knicks gave us their best shot. They've played the Bucks close in their first 2 matchups, beat them by 2 the second time around.

[Uncle Dennis]

Only 1 assist by Gasol!? i thought he was a good passer....

Not sure what game you watched. He made some beautiful passes, guys were bricking shots all night. He coulda had 7-8.

[RaptorsNorth]

Norm shot them back into this game with those bricks. Dude had sooo many open looks, and OG is just un-playable smh pascal went to the G league and came back a better player. I don't get why they refuse to send OG to the G league.

[MEDIC]

Gasol is an older Spanish JV,

Did you watch the game?

[Useyourhead]

OG is unplayable dude should be with the 905

I know, its amazing he was not included in trades, Masai still trying to build an all Africa team. I know the guy is cap friendly but he's overhyped and should have been included in a deal. The guy is actually playing worse than his rookie year.

[CoachRay]

Still concerning. Had the knicks not been on a b2b this would be a loss.

Not set offence. Bad defence. Superstar like Kawhi is parked in a corner every possession.

Wonder what they do at shootaround sometimes.

[mrdressup]

Gasol was our best performer in limited minutes. His overall play stands out above everyone else's already. He's such a smart passer from everywhere on the court. Watching him clear guys from under the basket and rebound with force is a thing of beauty.

I can't for the life of me understand why we play OG more than garbage minutes. We' ve got to sign a PF and end this madness.

[Red_Claw]

I was being sarcastic but if everyone made shots, everyone would have 10 assists.
