Just saw the game I was a little dissapointed in the first half ,the shots werent really falling .But the played better in the second half ,still not firing on all cyclinders yet doh ,well is still one more preseason game to go .If that team is a V 8 they still running on only 4 ,atleast vs last years finalist cavs and Lebron ,tonite hopefully the fix they little performance issues .And start playing better for the 1 st game next week vs the Nets.

:rotfl: 2nd largest blowout in team history ,largest in an away game lol .That from the clips I saw was embarassing ,bosh hit a shot from the 3point line ,....at the other side of the court .This time no come backs.
Win 2, check / .Now on to Boston ,for a great game those guys were hot vs a weak wastinton ,team last nite .
-
This is gonna be a wicked game ,a kinda revenge match to ,cause the celts beat us by 2 points in the pre season . Everybody picking the celts ,but i tink we gonna shock the US press lol ,Allen was always a Raptor killer ,and his 3 pointers falling now ,so limit him ,and contain KG and we should kill them lol :beermug:

Sam Mitchell didn't want to speak about it, but he couldn't help himself.
When the Boston Celtics' game-winning basket in overtime -- a wide open three from Ray Allen in the corner -- was brought up, Mitchell was asked if he saw how Anthony Parker got mugged on the screen that left Allen in the clear.
Mitchell admitted it's not the first time something like that has happened and it won't be the last, but said it was up to the defender to counter any attempt to grab on to him by whatever means necessary.
Exactly what Mitchell was condoning, he wouldn't specify, but the story that followed, from Mitchell's playing days, enlightened everyone present.
"I remember one night we were playing Utah and Karl Malone, every time Terry Porter would pass the screen, Malone would (throw out his elbows and hit Porter in the jaw on the way by). Third quarter, Porter goes by Karl again, Malone sticks that wing out there and Porter (hits him with a short right jab to the groin). Malone drops like a rock. The ref didn't see it. The next pick Malone set he kept those arms (and elbows) in. Terry was slick about it. He didn't wind up. He just tapped him. Just rang the little bell and Malone dropped."
"You don't teach that (now), but you have to learn to protect yourself."
-
KG is ah beast....he real get orn in the overtime...was llike watchin ah young hakeem or Kareem
I still not convinced Boston 3 headed monster that deadly.....I feel they go be like New Jersey 3 headed monster as the season progresses :devil:
-
I feel so too ,butI fraid Ray Allen ,we shoulda try and sign him .But sam ,shoulda get some help for Chris on KG ,or put Bargs in to guard him,cause 4 plays in a row .
On another note ,some thing happening lost again to the Bucks ,2 in a row .
-
Licks is Licks times 3

Small thing man, dem bois is big players, but trust meh, dey go flop when Boston really need dem (Play offs). I just love meh Miami team how dey slowly getting dat cohesion in place. What sweet about meh team 2, we have ah lil yute called Cook, well he shock de heel out ah meh so far, very talented and energetic like Zo. The reason why dat is sweet, is because we all know de players on de Heat team dat will be expected tuh lead and take us on a nice run in de play offs, well Cook will become extra for us tuh turn 2 for help. Our records don't look good at dis time, but if yuh know de game and understand certain things about it, u will know dat January, February and after de All Star game, dat is when yuh kick in yuh high gear and start whooping some azz. Ah not saying dat playing 7, 8 ,9 or 10 games wid 1 or no wins, is de way tuh go, but is also not a situation for alarm either, especially when de team have tuh play about 82 regular season games ;).
By de way, since when Raptors is ah big side, dat all yuh have tuh come on de forum and start ah special thread fuh Raptors. Look all yuh take ah seat and watch good teams play nah, so dat people go like all yuh nah. All yuh win ah few games last year, fuh de first time in all yuh history and all yuh of ah sudden Raptors is ah big side right, steupssss ? :devil: ;D.
-
Raptors is ah big side since The Suns GM took over .Wen we play good ,we beating anybody in the east by 30 points lol .The last Raptors Report had 14 pages ,9078 views and 400 replies . And since this year we going to the conference finals ,we go need ah new one ;D

Any way, meh team doh have ah thread, so ah jump on all yuh thread tuh cry, so doh kick meh out please :rotfl:.
Wid dat said, nice win by Raptors last night, ah was looking at Kobe vs Spurs, and dey showed de highlights, very impressive Raptors, best of luck to you all. What about Paul and de Hornets, dem doing big things to. Is nice to have some new teams and new players on top for a change, although we love Kobe, Wade, James, Iverson etc, ah also love tuh see new talents on de block. HIGHLY BLESSED
-
Boss, yuh see what ah was telling yuh about meh team, Spurs only beat we by one point. It is a lost and a lost is a lost, but it also give you that good feeling deep inside, tuh know dat we held de world champions, without ah healthy Shaq. Despite what de critics may say, Shaq still commands a double team every night, so dat speaks for itself right there.Wid all de weapons Spurs had on de floor, dey still couldn't blow we out. JW(still out of form) Shaq (injured) and a couple other players still out of form. Is just Wade and a few points here and there, dat does take we tuh de finish line.
It is absolutely no excuse for our loses, but if someone know de game and understand it from a certain level, you have to take my points in to consideration. Ah believe we playing Indiana at 3:30 PM today, so ah go pop ah cold one, watch de TV and support meh team through good and bad times. We will turn dis thing around, member Supa tell all yuh dat, have no fear, we will be back to winning ways very soon and trust meh it will be no mercy on any team. HIGHLY BLESSED

Dat is the thing...they making Bargnani and TJ the go-to men since they don't have their go-to man right now, and like yuh say Dutty dat option eh working out
this team is very much a one-man team...Sam Mitchell real textbook, too textbook fuh my liking...like he doh want to do anything out of the ordinary
-
The NBA change around us ,jus so we obsolete oui .In the east alone boston nuff said ,orlando every body get better . The new style is 2 and 3 headed monsters ,LA do it ,Sun do it ,denver ,everyteam has more than one star player .
Next year Arinas opting out his contract with washinton we should sign him up quick time ,also Charlie V gonna be a free agent ,we might get him for 30 mill ,trade kapono and maybe ford if he start whining .I like bargnanni flopping ,maybe he flop next year to and we sign him cheap lol .

Watch Reggie Evans get traded jes now
Jack Armstrong -"Peja and Bayless get the Raptors 20 points in limited minutes in their first game. Not bad!! I love the trade both short and long term. Bayless has the potential to be a good combo guard for them. Solid two-way player. Peja is a world class shooter who can still play and his contract status gives Bryan Colangelo some options in the trade market.
" i.e. he shave some salary cap..
Allyuh won't even give Cola he props if he sign ah Trini....anyway in case yuh didn't notice Reggie colours is RWB, in spite of he didn't even play last year due to injury, and wasn't no name neither, and if he stocks go up, cause of his fantastic rebounding, Cola could sell at ah profit easy....now if only he sign one ah dem fella from Lil Burgandy or any part ah Canada, ah lighting ah candle for Cola at the Oratory the day after...no matter wha allyuh say :angel: :rotfl:

Forward Amir Johnson (back spasms) and guard Leandro Barbosa (bruised right knee) both played at
Dallas, but are game time decisions against the Rockets.

it coming to come.we have one offensive big ,one high flying wing,and last year got a solid defensive center with shooting skills.A nice super quick point like kyrie irving ,would fit nicely .

We have a few tradable assets ,where under the cap ,we traded all our bad contracts.were flexable ,we have lots more future picks ,we have a trade exemption .And we have billionaire owners, sold out games and lots of money.
-

Knickerbockers were actually pants (not panties) worn by the Dutch inhabitants of NY back in the day, that actually make sense. I'm sure the British probably scratching dey head saying "I didn't know it had dinosaurs in Toronto"...

Raptors lost to the New York last night and fell to forth. If they finish third they would play the bobcats or the wizards and get an out of form pacers in the next round. If they finish forth they get a very good nets team and should they win that, they would get an even better heat team. I hope they can regain third but I don't see the bulls losing any of their remaining games.
-
Congratulations to the Raptors Atlantic division champs. Most wins in franchise history and first ever winning season on the road.
-
The Bulls, Heat and Nets all unexpectedly lost games down the stretch. So the Raptors got third but we have to play the Nets in the first round and then the Heat. Word is that the Nets fell to six because they wanted to play the Raptors in the first round.

So you believe your team will beat Brooklyn in the first round?
Personally I think it's a toss up, but although IMO, Toronto has the better team, Brooklyn has that playoff experience which may prove invaluable. Good Luck to your team!

This nets side is basically a little Boston .

This nets side is basically a little Boston .
and that is the 4 th reason why I praying to buss the tail...nothing against Bostonians, just always both admired, yet hated the Celtics. And though i kinda dug Brooklyn and games at Boy's High and all that...i need a reason to, according to Vasquez."Get Vex. I admired the skill of the players, but I doh Like them"
-
Raps not going to win this series if they don't cut down on turnovers. 57 turnovers in three games is unheard of.
-
We need to win night. WE THE NORTH.
-
Raps win. :wavetowel:
Series tied at two. Raps regain home court advantage.
NORTHERN UPRISING.
-
That Nets team has a lot of talent.But they played liked they played in the regular season and the won.
Simple turnover free .We need Ross playing well and am a little concerned about the niggles.
-
Great fan support, but we down at the half. We need a big second half.
-
Why am not sad I stopped following this game.Bad referees and bad calls.
Same for baseball*not predetermined* and cricket ,can't win when the outcome is predetermined.
-
Thanks for the season Raptors. Hard to win when the Refs are against you.
-
After the turmoil of the early season- one has to say this has been one of the most successful and uplifting season for the Raptors.
-
Have to say that the raptors appear to be for real- bring it on

The Toronto Raptors are the hottest team in the NBA, which doesn’t necessarily make them the best team, but given the franchise’s recent success doesn’t mean that winning 10 of their past 11 starts and sitting a half game out of first place in the Eastern Conference is an aberration, either.
The Raptors have been among the best teams in the NBA for three calendar years now, and appear to be improving. When you sport a league-leading offensive rating of 115.3 points per 100 possessions — nearly two points ahead of the second-place Golden State Warriors and three more than the Warriors managed in their 73-win season a year ago – clearly something is happening.
And they know it.
“It’s not a fluke,” said DeMar DeRozan, amid a career year in his eighth season, averaging 28 points a game, fourth in the NBA. “We’ve had one of the toughest schedules the league and we’ve figured out a way to come out on top and it’s not just from one individual, it’s coming from a team perspective, you know?”
People should now.
But the curious thing as the Raptors continue to roll — they are going for their fifth straight win and 11th in 12 games against the visiting Atlanta Hawks at the Air Canada Centre Friday night — is how little apparent buzz their performance is generating outside of the ACC, which will be sold out for the 106th straight game, and among local television audiences, which are up significantly.
In a long NBA season there are lulls and this part of December - after all the early season excitement has petered out and before the Christmas Day hoops festival ramps up - qualifies as one of them. It’s a good time for lists.
Thus we have the quarter-season award watch. One might think that the Raptors, given their status as the league’s most excellent offence and their December dominance and status near the top of the league tables would get their share of buzz.
One might think wrong.
We’ve long given up thinking that the Raptors will ever be top-of-mind league-wide. Their status as the NBA’s lone Canadian franchise means they will always fall short in terms of getting their fair share of national US broadcasts or appearances on the Christmas Day showcases and the like. It’s not going to happen. Two US markets drive ratings and broadcast revenues more efficiently than one Canadian market and one US market. It's just math.
But what is interesting is how the Raptors' early season accomplishments have barely penetrated the consciousness of even those who aren’t presumably thinking about ratings or advertising revenues and who are appealing to a hardcore basketball audience.
A sampling of three respected NBA voices’ early season awards tracking leaves the Raptors virtually bereft of any kind of recognition whatsoever.
At SI.com, Ben Golliver - who drew the Raptors ire when he and colleague Rob Mahoney had DeRozan ranked 46th on their pre-season list of the NBA’s top 100 players — listed five candidates for Most Valuable Player and two honourable mentions without getting to DeRozan or Kyle Lowry who have been the twin locomotives driving the Raptors train.
Similarly, Sam Amick and Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today didn’t acknowledge the potential candidacy of either of the Raptors duo.
Howard Beck, who covers the NBA for Bleacher Report, listed nine players who deserved MVP consideration through the season’s first 20 or so games without mentioning a Raptor.
Granted, the MVP award is the NBA’s tallest mountain, scaled only by Hall-of-Famers, and this season to date has produced some incredible performances by the likes of Russell Westbrook (everyone’s MVP favourite or co-favourite, it seems), Kevin Durant, James Harden, LeBron James, Anthony Davis and more.
And this isn’t to suggest that either of Lowry and DeRozan should or will win the award at the end of the year. It’s just that it seems strange that two players having career-years for an Eastern Conference finalist team that is hitting never-before-seen peaks in offensive efficiency while on pace to win 59 games is doing all of it with so little fanfare league-wide.
For the first dozen games DeRozan was doing things – like posting 10 30-point outings - not done since Michael Jordan was in his physical prime. For the past dozen or so games Lowry is doing things — like hitting 59 per cent of his three-point attempts — that Steph Curry (34 per cent from deep over his last 10, but who’s counting) would envy and would likely have generated a Twitter hashtag by now and a sponsored spot on ESPN’s Sports Center.
So far? Silence.
"You can’t control that,” said Raptors head coach Dwane Casey about the lack of attention Lowry — the only player in the NBA averaging at least 21 points, seven rebounds and 1.5 steals while shooting at least 44 per cent from deep — has generated. "All you can do is continue to win, play at a high level, continue to do it and hopefully the US media will see it and recognize it. We’re biased here, but he’s played at such a level it should be talked about it. But I can’t control it, Kyle can’t control it. The one thing he can control is to continue to put forth the effort to help us win and almost embarrass everybody else to [talk] about it.”
But the list of Raptors deserving attention for their individual accomplishments in the context of team success doesn’t begin or end with DeRozan and Lowry.
DeRozan made a point of mentioning Terrence Ross as a viable Sixth Man Award candidate after Ross rescued the Raptors with 25 points off the bench against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night. Only six players in the NBA are averaging at least 19.9 points per 36 minutes and shooting at least 44 per cent from three, but Ross is the only one doing it off the bench. Throw in his 1.7 steals and Ross is the only player in any role providing that combination of ball-hawking, scoring and perimeter marksmanship on a per 36 basis.
But while most Sixth Man lists include Jamal Crawford of the Clippers, Zach Randolph of Memphis, Lou Williams of the Lakers or Eric Gordon with Houston, they don’t mention Ross and the Raptors.
"What Terrence does for us is incredible,” said DeRozan. "For me not to hear he’s a Sixth Man candidate, it’s kind of unfair because without him coming off the bench and doing the things he do, we wouldn’t be who we are and be in the position we are now.”
How about Coach of the Year?
Dwane Casey is one of the most likeable and media-friendly bench bosses in the NBA. He gives of his time freely. He’s also turned a team that was within a hair’s breadth of being blown up for tanking purposes three years ago into one of the most consistent winners in the league that is now putting up unheard-of offensive numbers.
Yet all that gets him only one mention as a Coach of the Year candidate and third place at that, even though he’s managed the NBA’s third youngest roster and features a raw rookie in Pascal Siakam starting at power-forward; has been missing its only significant off-season acquisition in Jared Sullinger and lost its best defensive player from a year ago — Bismack Biyombo — to free agency.
In that sense, Casey fits right in with his team: overlooked and under-appreciated.
“That's just the way it is when you’re in Toronto,” said Patrick Patterson, the anchor of the Raptors' unheralded second unit. "It’s been that way since I’ve been here. I don’t think it will ever change, but as long as the people around [us] understand it. that’s all that matters."
The solution to all of it is to keep winning, of course.
“We do,” DeRozan said when asked if his club deserved more attention than they’ve received to this point. “[But] I’m not going to sit up here and cry about it or mention about why [we’re] not in it; it just gives [us] more fuel to keep winning, keep doing what we know how to do and everything will figure itself out.”

Agreed the one thing the Raptors have to take advantage of is the Warriors injuries. With Klay and Looney going out their role players should've stepped up but Cousins stepped up and was effective in that win.
