I had no idea Shaun Livingston was still in the NBA. I thought he was a tragic knee story.

His mind is telling his yeeess....but his body...his body is telling him no

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Umm, of course? it's like just about every coaches rotation? He'll get back in at around the 8 - 6 minutes to go mark, and play a total of ~36 minutes.

Sort of spot on what he should be playing?

Casey usually benches Valanciunas for the entire 4th quarter regardless of how well he's played or how many minutes he has played for the first three quarters. He's scared of rookies playing in crunch time even though the Raptors have been pretty bad in crunch time in general.

Not tonight though.

 

[giri]

Did you see the Lakers/Raptors game, or any Raptors games recently? Valanciunas will completely disappear from the rotation for entire quarters. He was putting up a good fight against Howard and the Lakers and didn't make any appearances in the 4th, or OT. Resting is one thing. Not playing for a quarter and a half is Casey's thing.



I guess we just need to have half our roster injured to ensure that V actually gets minutes!

Right, but thats not what your complaint that i replied to, was.

That's what normal coaches do. Casey just plays guys 10 minutes in the 1st and then forgets they're on his team.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Bosh yes
he's back

 

[giri]

So i see casey is challening Hollins these days.

Yeah he came back a couple years after the injury. He is almost a happy ending knee story.

 

[EvilMario]

You're saying Casey is going to do what normal coaches do in the 4th. I'm saying this is Dwane Casey and nothing is a given. Not starting in the 4th with Casey just means you might be entirely forgotten for the rest of the quarter, not some sort of spot rest.

 

[Syphon Filter]

dam philly has a worse record than raptors lol. tank so hard.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

We got us a bottom feeder barn burner!

 

[PBY]

Bosh doing things.

V's time was short in the 4th, to say the least, but at least he broke 30 minutes tonight. When he stops getting those stupid fouls, he'll be pretty good. Amir suffers from the same issue.

 

[Nobility]

Did the Heat pull an intervention on Bosh?

He's pushing the offence like crazy tonight.

 

[MiamiWesker]

And that is what happens when we care. Lebron didn't even have to do anything.

 

[EvilMario]

Thank god Lowry made it. Dribble, dribble, dribble, spin, shoot. If he would have missed, I was have ripped into him for not moving the ball around at all.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Damn Lowry, that was a nice move.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

that's 18

 

[CherryWoodFuton]

Not even fuckball can stop the Heat train

 

[Jadedx]

Mario Chalmers should not be allowed to have arms to touch the ball in the 4th qtr.

 

[EvilMario]

Crowd wants that pizza.

Haha.. DeMar made them sweat it.

 

[alr1ght]

Xrays negative on Kyrie. Diff shoulder he hurt last time.

Mr. Glass

 

[Cloudy]

I just don't see how Bron can be ahead of KD in MVP voting on this team. Neither guy is carrying their squad by Miami isn't fair lol

 

[Psychological Intellect]

so.. mario motherfucking chalmers has 26 points

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Say what you want about the Raptors and their quality of play but got damn if their fans don't turn out in huge numbers, regardless.

Sunday vs. the Cavaliers in places like say, Detroit would be a got damn ghost town in the stands.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Pacers got destroyed, where are the people that were saying pacers have any kind of chance against miami?

 

[Jadedx]

so.. mario motherfucking chalmers has 26 points

Chalmers is a great player that just needs grooming.

 

[Dominican Power]

I just don't see how Bron can be ahead of KD in MVP voting on this team. Neither guy is carrying their squad by Miami isn't fair lol

How the fuck is KD not carrying his team? WTF are you talking about? LeBron does a whole lot for that team.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

rando!!!!!!!

where are you?

Chalmers is a great player that just needs grooming.

on this team with bron,wade and bosh a pg can't really flourish.

 

[linsivvi]

I just don't see how Bron can be ahead of KD in MVP voting on this team. Neither guy is carrying their squad by Miami isn't fair lol

wat?

 

[Flash]

Thank god Lowry made it. Dribble, dribble, dribble, spin, shoot. If he would have missed, I was have ripped into him for not moving the ball around at all.

if anything, Lowry should be aggressive and look for his shot more often.

Casey making him play like Calderon 2.0 is a god damn shame.

 

[PBY]

You're welcome Knicks age.

 

[Syphon Filter]

wtf juwan howard is still chillin lol.

 

[EvilMario]

if anything, Lowry should be aggressive and look for his shot more often.

Casey making him play like Calderon 2.0 is a god damn shame.

Maybe, but fifteen dribbles a spin move and fadeaway from that distance is not exactly a high quality shot for him. Running a play in that situation might not be terrible. Maybe we wouldn't lead the league in blown 4th quarter leads if we had any plays to run.

Say what you want about the Raptors and their quality of play but got damn if their fans don't turn out in huge numbers, regardless.

Sunday vs. the Cavaliers in places like say, Detroit would be a got damn ghost town in the stands.

Toronto is a pretty good sports town. The only franchise the fans have turned on a bit has been the Jays, but attendance will probably pick up this year (at least to 2007/2008 levels) with the big trade and signings. It doesn't help that the Jays play in one of the worst stadiums in MLB too.

 

[friskykillface]

so.. mario motherfucking chalmers has 26 points

hes getting dat max D:

does lebron and everyone still yell at him for no reason lol?

 

[Psychological Intellect]

chalmers with 26 points off 9 shots

hes getting dat max D:

does lebron and everyone still yell at him for no reason lol?

Westbrook isn't being carried by anyone. Neither is Wade most nights

 

[PBY]

Westbrook isn't being carried by anyone. Neither is Wade most nights

C'mon brooooo. Plzz.

 

[ISOM]

Westbrook isn't being carried by anyone. Neither is Wade most nights

Agreed

 

[EvilMario]

I sort of wish we could have had Westbrook on the Raptors, just so I could see his melt downs from being on a 30 win team.

 

[rando14]

Pacers got destroyed, where are the people that were saying pacers have any kind of chance against miami?

I still think the pacers stand a chance against Miami in a series. It's not too big but it's definitely there. Who knows if they'll make it that far though

rando!!!!!!!

where are you?

I'm here, come slay me

 

[RellyRell28]

Oh god no Sanders, Ersan and Reddick. Tonight will be rough.
