Rewatchables: Game 7 Raptors vs 76ers

[SharoneWright]

You know what made be really sad? Watching seasons with Rick Brunson and Derrick Martin in the lineup. Watching Chris Childs forget the score. Watching Kevin O'Neill coach basketball. That's really depressing.

Nothing can taint what the Raps accomplished last year. A banner will hang forever.

I will maintain until I die,, he did not forget the score. A lie. He actually decided he could make that shot.

These guys seem like reasonably good commentators....but goddamn if this is not why I'm more emotionally invested in this year's Raps than any year before.

I can't stand the snarky dismissiveness. We HAVE to shove it down everyone's throats this year. And I think we gotta shot.

can't help but stare every time

About The Shot: is that Jim Treliving (above the rim and to the right of the shot clock) staring coldly at the ball?



EDIT: Yes it is, just confirmed.

Hey, someone finally responded to the OP.

It's fun for me just to hear well-known US commentators - whether Cris or Nick or Shannon or SAS or Bill or whoever - say the names of Raptor players and attempt to describe their play. Of course, it's a given that the Sixers - notably not Harris - would be discussed 75% of the time, but that still left 15 minutes for Serge to get his props and Fred and Kyle to get their anti-props. But Simmons did say Kyle would make the HOF someday. The other guys sneered at that, but if the Raptors win 50 this year and Kyle makes the all-star team, he's a shoo-in.

Is there a podcast version anywhere?

Last season with Kawhi was like the girl you lost your virginity to. It was short lived, and a little awkward, but man was it ever exciting.
I will always look back on it with fondness.

I had sex for 12 hours straight when I lost my virginity.
