2nd Round : Toronto vs Philadelphia

dat s why it is bad coaching. Nurse..by knowing his own team shud realize that home court is all for this Raptor team and under no circumstances deh shud lose it. its going to be the devils own work to get it back

if Nurse did not know that Philly knows it. Philly is going to fight like a dog to keep it. and if they do the series comes back to Toronto with the Raps in a real hole with Philly leading 3 to 1.

Toronto might win game 5 back in Toronto but that wud just be delaying the inevitable...Philly in 6..the most likely outcome from that loss last night

Nick Nurse is an impse. Toronto needs a coach..and maybe a GM

Nurse can beat Brown. Brown is no Doc Rivers or Greg Poppovich..or dat guy in Boston.

and it is up to the staff you know..how they plan. the head coach is the leader to set it all up. if he does not it cant work. but if all the heads are together they should cover all the angles and be able to be in the dogfight all the way through

the fact is you cant be caught off guard by what your opposition does in the playoffs. that is a no no! you cant come out flat. you cant do shit all season long and set yourself up with an excuse: the playoffs are all. when the playoffs come we will be ready..EVERY NIGHT!

WELL THE SKUNT TEAM AINT READY..COME OUT FLAT MY ARSE!

make Masai go get a real intelligent coach. the key is the kind of overall smarts I am talking..have been talking about and strength of character to insist on what is right from the start..in the full awareness that if it aint right from the start it wont work out right in the end

that means Kawii plays every fuckin night. if he does not make Masai come and coach the goddam team and I go elsewhere

Series shift to Philadelphia tied at 1-1 !

Game 3 at 8 p.m !

Goooooo Raaapppttooorrsss !

score eh! you really want to know the score. Raptors gettin' deh arse cut by 20 points or more. the raptors team from the first game has disappeared into thin air
hahahahaha

oh yeah! now I know what has been bugging me about the raptors all along...AGE!

the friggin raptors are an aging to old team and this is what aging to old teams do..lose when they shud win. that is why the were good up to the All Star break then went steadily downhill from then on. they are OLD...OLD tuh rarse.

deh simply ran out of energy by the all star break...which Nick Nurse was trying to conserve all season long

Lowery 33
Gasol 33
Green 31
Ibaka 29
Lin 30 but he is not even suited up
Meeks 31

Moreland and Leonard are 27

This is another example of how experts and analysts are constant arseholes! they have been constantly picking the Raptors to go all they way, to beat Philly... and they simply physically cant do that. that is why Philly is beating them so badly. they cant play no more with the youth.

they had the one shot the first game, they pulled that off like an old class horse coming off a lay off. that is the only time that old horse can win..fresh off the lay off.

from the very next race he is too tired to win..too old. he will pull off some places and show positions. that is what the owners really want for they will add to his big earlier stash with that, until they pull him out permanently and send him to stud... or to brood in the case of a filly.

they will also cash a few big place and show bets on the horse in the meantime. but his winning days would be over..like this raptor team. they will get 4 straight from filly and move on into retirement. Leonard will leave and for that I will be seriously happy.

and if deh fiyah Masai Ujirir I would not say a word..save he is as big an arsehole as any GM fired so far this season. I love my people of color but I cant support a man in a job if he cant do the job as well he might. that helps no one in the end

the only youth player of class Toronto has is Siakam. Van Vleet has all but disappeared in this series
Anunoby is injured.
Powell helps off the bench but the bench, apart from he and Ibaka is useless...no good at all. how in the hell did Masai trade away the good bench the Raptors had for these guys who cant help the Raptors.

who the fuck are Meeks, Moreland, Macaw and Miller?

off the bench these 4 last night played a collective total of 13 minutes, and had altogether a total of 5 points and 3 assists. Toronto had a great bench before Masai got to the trading. he got rid of the good Bench and brought in guys who cant play that well

that is what I wasn't doing..examining all that Masai had done. I was focused only on the big trades of DeRozan and Valencunis. but he had done a lot worse with the bench. then to cover his tracks he played to the Chinese community bringing in Jeremy Lin.... who cant play NBA basketball any more at 30 years of age

What Toronto has is a really lousy basketball team, now way too old to beat the better, younger coming teams. I see Lowery struggling and I was pissed at him. but now I realize it is because he is 33 years of age just about time to retire for him.

that is what we have. we never had a snowballs chance in hell at the NBA championship with this team this year.

'they' made all kinds of moves to hide the reality but the team is no dam good. that is why we were so awful after the all star break. they had run out of gas. and Leonard playing every other game prolly thought he would have to kerry this team in the playoffs so he sought to save his energy.

oh my

that is exactly what I said to the patrons at the Sports bar !
Look how Siakam countryman Imbiid performing for Philly ...
Why we trade Greg Munroe a.k.a. "Moose" to Philly.....and he is showing us was a mistake
Ibaka for a 3rd game in a row is just scoring fouls

I have been arguing that you do not trade Valencunis for 33 year old Garsol

the idea around the league was that at 33 such a player goes to a contender to polish their effort to go all the way. he goes there and come off the bench..NOT TO START EVERY GAME. HE CANT DO THAT PHYSICALLY ANYMORE..WHICH IS WHY HIS TEAM IS GIVING HIM AWAY

Uriri starts Gasol every game. it cant work. as I have ben arguing..TRADING VALENCUINIS FOR GASOL WAS A HUGE MISTAKE NO MATTER HOW GOOD GASOL FUCKING was.

THAT'S THE KEY WORD...was! TODAY..CURRENTLY, AT 25 YEARS OF AGE VALENCUNIS IS BETTER THAN GASOL IS NOW..NOW HOW GOOD HE WAS 10 YEARS AGO.. THAT IS WHY THAT WAS SUCH A LOUSY TRADE

uJIIRI DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE IS DOING. HE DID NOT PLAY SERIOUS BASKETBALL..HIS MAJOR TRADES ARE SHIT AND HAVE LEFT THE rAPPTORS A SKELETON OF ITSELF

WHY THE FUCK YOU TRADE dErOZAN AND KEEP lOWERY

LOOK AT MY OLD ARGUMENST AGAIN AND YOU WILL SEE WHY WE GOT 21 POINTS IN WE RARSE TO TAKE HOME LAST NIGHT

I agree and I wanted to keep Moose (Greg Munroe)
We gonna lose in 5 or by a miracle in 6 .......steewwppps

Game 4

a must win starts now !

Gooooo Raaaapppttoorrs
