Look at you go. JV FAAAAR from the reason we lost this series and this is what you're looking for, yet the JV fans are the ones with the agenda.



It's no agenda. It's an example of consistently overrating young players. The same thing happened with Ross. Same thing with Bargnani.

End the madness.

Just read Jones' Twitter as well and what a piece of ****. How can you be in your fifties and act like that? That's embarrassing. Definitely the type of guy who smells his own farts. Enjoy living in a country where a non-negligible part of the population thinks you're inferior due to the colour of your skin.

At the beginning of the season I thought we are gonna be like the Spurs, we play D and we move the ball around so smoothly...then we just stopped everything.

Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 13m 13 minutes ago

Per source. Kyle Lowry played hand injury and opted for no surgery and could be the reason he is played terrible.


Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 10m 10 minutes ago

Per source James Johnson and Casey had a fallout 2 months ago that divided the dressing room.

Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 9m 9 minutes ago

Supposedly James Johnson called out Casey for being 'stale' and a 'broken record'. Also not being creative enough with the team...
17 retweets 5 favorites


Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 8m 8 minutes ago

Speculation also that James Johnson spoke out that Casey babied his stars too much and neglected other players on the squad.

Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 7m 7 minutes ago

Per source Masai Ujiri targeting Scott Brooks to try and recruit KD. Also KD & Greivis Vasquez are close and Ujiri is banking on this move.

Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 4m 4 minutes ago

Changes coming to Toronto. Per source no one is safe on roster except for Lowry and Vasquez due to contract status.


Hoops Hype Canada @HoopsHypeCA · 3m 3 minutes ago

Per source Masai Ujiri has tons of internal issues and was relived that the Leafs became a mess so media left the Raptor struggles alone.

Wow this dude is just pumping out "information", if it's legit it might be from Masai himself lol

Mostly in my heart too. Oh god. **** this guy


That's the second tweet he sent me. The first one said he said he trashed his Canadian citizenship a long time ago. Its to bad he deleted it before I could screenshot.


You get sent an email when someone replies to you on a post or RT whatnot. Get that sh*t


I had the e-mail notifications turned off. I'm going to see if I can find it on my phone. It popped up on my screen.

Its funny how now everyone wish he signs with Houston now. Patrick Beverley and a first. Get it done Masai.


I remember how excited I was when we signed him, I remember the hours I spent voting this guy to be an all star without even knowing if the votes counted... Nothing was the same.

Who's overrating? JV is 22 years old and has great tools to build on. He can be part of a good core. What was he supposed to do this series that all of our other WAY MORE experienced players couldn't? You wanted him to take over? To dominate somehow?

This series is an example of why we should be sacrificing some OffRtg and success during the regular season to give him more touches and more minutes. Once our perimeter is shut down it's over. DD, Lowry, Lou Williams, Vasquez, Ross, all practically useless. Demar had some good moments and that's about it. Your boy can't carry a team. He's another Valanciunas. Part of a good core, just not THE guy. Any team relying on him is doomed to fail.

Completely unsubstantiated, probably no truth to it but very interesting still... jives well with the complete 180 the team did.

I knew there had to be locker room issues with JJ & Casey. Interesting Kyle on the hand.
