    Raptors are for real. They remind me of the Rockets last year.

    Yeah I agree. Very committed on defense and the offense is very fluid because of great chemistry.

    But don’t forget they have 3 SOLID centers.... Ibaka, JV, and Greg Monroe. This Toronto team is very balanced.

    I think it's safe to say Lowry hasnt declined lol. Man, I really dont want Toronto to be this good, it makes me sick. If we cant beat them, no one should. :(

    ****ing nuts that at 2 games below 500, 14th seed, we are still only 4 games back from the Warriors, 5 from 1st need. I hope this team wakes TF up soon.

    but cf told me Ibaka s contract is a deadweight that makes it impossible to have a legit contender and they should juts blow it up all and tank

    its only one game, he is declining.. this is what declining players do they will have one good game once in a while then back to overall sucking...the declension is not a linear process

    last time I saw someone compare the losses and say the Rockets are still in the hunt, Rockets lost a billion in a row. For safety.

    Say no more, they are in the East.

    If you mean they remind you of the Rockets, they are as deep as the Rockets were top heavy even last year. Perhaps.

    I think it all depends on Kawhi Leonard's health.

    Brooklyn beat Philly
    Raptors beat Golden State without KAwhai


    I bet their fan bases are looking to trade Curry and Embiid

    well curry is dependant on getting calls to win so yes they should look to trade him for more reliable player except if they still have scott foster and tony brothers under contract

    Toronto is better than what they were previously. they upgraded their best player and significant improvement with their young players. that's what you need when you're an elite team. All the pieces are there. its basically comes down to execution and whether or not they can put it together at the right time or not
