It's on, SR! :box:

#LetsGoRaptors

Excellent game, SR! :tiphat:

Some shitty calls by the refs near the end. Like when OG Anunoby was slammed to the grand, no call?? :no:
Van Vleet wasn't playing well last night and Lowry wasn't in top form either. Too many fouls too. Hopefully this little slump passes soon.
:lol: , Yeah....the refs are the worst part of the NBA. Kyrie is a victim too. He gets zero calls going downhill at the rim (all year long). By far our most exciting game of the year. I can't believe Brad is still going with Gordon...the first hitch in his coaching other than some confusion a couple of years ago in the playoffs. The east is a lot of fun this year. :rockon:
Yes, most definitely! I can't wait to go the game in Feb. with the Cs.

The Lakers are in South Beach tonight.
No Lebron vs Wade though because d-wade is still on parental leave. Kids first.
Meanwhile it Looks like James Johnson is making his season debut.

As they stand, the standings are absolutely bizarre.

There is something wrong in Boston. Actually a lot, but I can't help but to think at it's core it is bad chemistry.

They will get it together as well, this part of the season is for teams to figure shit out. The come back the other night against TOR was awesome especially even though Kyrie (the best 1v1 player in the L not named Devin Booker btw) was differing at times to Gordon. That core is fine but rumors etc they need to trade Smart.

A while ago, I heard a sports commenter(can't remember the name now) say that the Celtics can't get their chemistry right because they do not have an established hierarchy and the players don't know their role and how they fit. For example, in Toronto the hierachy is Leonard and Lowry at the top, rest fall into line below and play according to that structure which makes them more cohesive. :noclue:

That can't be disputed. I agree. It's a real problem among others. I am really pissed with them as there are no excuses. The talent is there top to bottom, except for Hayward

What's amazing to me was seeing Gary play a bit ago and seeing how SA has literally given up on the Spurs now, I knew most of them were fair weather but this and a minor league soccer and hockey team are the only things they got. Like I said its all still early these teams are just learning how to play with one another.

:lol: 4 losses in a row for the warriors

Two good wins in a row for the Kings against OKC and Utah. This is really a fun team to watch.

I was a little surprised when I read the news about KL signing a deal with New Balance. Some hilarious twitter posts about it.

No Steph and no Draymond for the Warriors for that game.

Even though the team has been slowly coming out of their funk with Steph and Draymond being out and Klay and KD shooting better the past few games, I'm not expecting much from them in Toronto. So try not to celebrate too much if the Raptors win :drink: :thumb:
