That was a great comeback effort after there last meeting.

Actually there playing Milwaukee tonight, and it could be a hard match .The Bucks are 1.5 games behind the 8th seed Detroit. There gonna be motivated to get this win to inch themselves closer to a playoff spot. Plus they won last night as well. Every game from now till the playoffs will have a playoff feel to it.

Raptors cannot take any team lightly from now on.

 

Go Raps

You're right! Mistakenly misread what TSN had showed after the game ended. We've won 4 of our last 5 which is great. Tucker, Ibaka have been everything we've asked for, solid offensively but known for their defensive prowess. Yesterday, Iblocka with a clutch block late on what looked to be an easy Wall lay up. He also chipped in on the scoreboard. Looking for more of the same tonight

Tough loss for the Raps vs the Bucks the other day 101-94. Ibaka had a team high 19, with Cory and JV putting up 14 and 13 respectively. DeRozan had a off night scoring 11. Doesn't get easier as they'll face a new look Pelicans team on Wednesday. Hope they get the job! Go Raps!

Kawhi Leonard anyone? Give the man mvp. 2nd best player in the world behind Bron. Could be first if he beats Bron in the finals, but that ain't happening. 

I agree. Clutch shot and a big time block to send the Spurs on a 7 game win streak. They've been heating up as of late and they're right on the Warriors' tails

Big bounce back win by the Raps vs the Pelicans tonight 94-87. JV with a big night putting up a double double with 25 points along with 13 boards. DeRozan scored 14 while Ibaka had a dozen. Raps trailed for most of the 1st half but managed to hang around and take the lead and eventually ran with it. Hope they keep it going vs Hawks as they look to keep the momentum going as they near the end of their road trip. Go Raps!

Did you see the tension between JV and Cousins during that game? (Apparently they had a run-in at the Olympics as well) Maybe a bit of a physical battle is what it takes to put him at that next level....bodes well for the playoffs.

Yeah it got tense. But JV didn't even do jack all. If anything, it was Cousins who started to get his face a bit. JV was trying to stay away from him but instead he got T'd up. Made no sense to be honest. Facing another big man tonight against Howard so he'll have to make sure to not do any physical stuff that'll get him tossed or T'd up. If he continues to play the way he has been as of late, he'll be a force to be wreckoned with in the playoffs and having Serge will only help possibly down the Cavs, preventing them of a repeat though they did get Smith back so who knows.

Tough loss for the Raps tonight vs the Hawks 105-99. DeRozan had 28 while Ibaka scored 18 but got fouled out late in the game. Cory and Powell notched 15 and 12 respectively. JV also got another double double. His 22nd of the season already I believe. Hope they bounce back vs the Heat who are rolling themselves. Go Raps!

2,3,4 and 5 in the east is so clustered right now. Raps are 2.5 games behind both the Celtics and Wizards but only 2 games ahead of the Hawks. Especially with Lowry out, I can see raps ending up at the 5th spot

things just got interesting. 

Goodbye, Warriors' championship aspirations (probably).  They looked like a different team without the size that Durantula provides, because they're otherwise a small-ball team outside of Zaza and JaVale, and small-ball is their bread and butter.  Seeing the effectiveness of the aggression that teams like the Cavs and Thunder showed against them last season (LeBron swatting Curry was an absolute turning point, and skilled bigs like Steven Adams were wreaking havoc) I could see them having troubles without an individual big shooter like K.D. who can produce when things get tight defensively around the perimeter.

So pumped to watch the Warriors-Spurs game today. So excited to see all the superstars battle it out. Leanord, Aldridge, Curry, Draymond just to name a few.

I think they are all sitting out unfortunately

Bingo! Kerr said Stephen,  Draymond,  Klay all won't play tonight which is unfortunate. They make the game much more exciting to watch. Aldridge might be out also for the Spurs. Sad to hear about his heart condition. Hope he recovers and comes back stronger than ever!

He's injured again, and it's relevant following their loss to the Celtics when they couldn't show any push-back.  :emot-parrot::emot-parrot::emot-parrot:
