I think Nurse is thinking long term, he obviously isnt going full out. He's pretty much a genius.

too many turnovers, too many dumb fouls. First game back, still in a spot to win. Let's ball.

So wtf is this?

What in the world happened to Gasol?????

Seriously... Like he hardly plays.

I'm seriously thinking he got Covid.

Survived the Lakers parade to the freethrow line. This means the Raptors get all the calls in the 4th right? :wink:

still, we're winning. remember this is the team that most people have already given the chip to. just gotta win this quarter to stretch our streak over them to 11.

At least put Gasol out there.


i think he understands the lakers are going to come back one way or another. Either Lebron goes **** or the refs steps in.
Just weather that storm with a scrappy bench lineup. Hold the tiny lead headed into the 4th and duke it out with our best line up in the 4th.

Weird stat - Ibaka has 5 fouls in 13 minutes and McGee has 4 fouls in 10 minutes.

I knew the bench was going to blow this lead. I just don’t understand how you don’t play Thomas there. When Lowry left we were up by 11. You throw in Matt who is the best 3 point shooter on this team and even if he makes 2 of those the game is blown open. We have Davis on the floor not doing anything.
