Anything but a W would be disappointing. Raptors are starting Aaron Baynes, so LaMarcus should have a field day. OG Anounoby can't shoot 3s and they are playing an 8-man rotation with DeMar's dunk victim Chris Boucher being the 8th man. Van Vleet will be the PG for the bench and he's terrible at running point. Spurs should get the W here. Pressure Van Vleet, play some zone and let OG shoot and go at Baynes. We should get a lot of easy buckets near the rim.
Most interesting match up that I'm looking forward to: Big Body vs. Siakam

Demar has been good against his ex-team. And with the momentum from last night’s win, the Spurs by 8.

ESPN has them a 72%/28% dog. Playing at home. To a Toronto team without two of it's starting or main role players from last season. That just got rolled by NO.
Man oh man, the disrespect across the league for the Spurs is real.

iirc he did the same thing in the second half and bodied his ass at the rim and scored on him and let out a nice RAARGGGHHHHH!!! i love the intenisty this kid plays with man, so refreshing to see this instead of a defensive turnstile bricking threes and clapping his hands/rubbing his heels after every blown possession:lol

For me KJ vs Siakam is the game within a game that I'm interested in.
Joseph Kony
12-26-2020, 12:38 PM
wonder if Pop will keep with the same starting lineup or not.
are there any teams that even run two bigs anymore? Spurs can probably get away with DD/KJ in front court against most teams
heyheymymy
12-26-2020, 12:39 PM
Siakams length seems like the perfect early test for KJ will be interesting to see how he handles

Few things to look forawrd to;
1. Defense, just how are we able to defend against a much better offensive team.
2. Consitancy
3. Who's the thrird scorer? Demar is going give us 20, LA most nights will give us around 18. but who's gone be the 3rd score? If we can get a constant 15+ scores as our 3rd scorer from the starters, we'll be looking good.

I like Chris Boucher-- I think he has the potential to be a super sub. Great story too-- dropped out of high school to get a job and help support his family, got famous as a Canadian street baller, went to Junior College, then a D2 Community college, transferred to U of Oregon, then G league MVP and DPOY.
Mr. Body
12-26-2020, 02:44 PM
Toronto is a team that's decaying. They are a paper pretender unable to retain their vets and hoping a scant few players like Anunoby can make a leap. A lot of pressure on him, etc. They got a championship out of it, but their better days have past. Meanwhile, we have a huge bite of what the young Spurs are capable of doing.

Honestly, with Lowry seemingly falling off a cliff, being forced to stay in Florida due to Canada's COVID restrictions, and the East getting better I could see Toronto falling out of the playoff picture altogether.

Anunoby is a good spot up 3-point shooter, Lowry hasn't fallen off a cliff and presuming relative health for their top 6, there's no chance they fall out of the playoffs in the East.
Johnson is the type of strong, low center of gravity wing who's given Siakam trouble, since he can't take them off the dribble and hasn't been able to successfully post them up.

Milwaukee, Philly, Miami, Boston, Brooklyn and Indiana are all way better than the Raptors. They the 7th seed in the East at best and are playing a 8-man rotation. They lack depth

Actually it is better. Not good by any means, but better. I remember games last year, when spurs were down 15 on a regular basis after 1st quarter and having horrible 3rd quarters.

Keldon getting that young Kawhi treatment by the refs. Goes up strong in the paint against contact but gets no calls.
Pop’s gonna have to make a scene out of himself to get the refs to treat him fairly
Which US city is Toronto most like? New York? Chicago?
Chicago more for the setting - on lake and beautiful in summer and harsh in winter (though if you work downtown they have a whole city underground so don’t have to go outside).
But definitely more diverse than most cities in U.S. outside of NYC. Nothing is NYC, but Toronto would rank among the better U.S. cities.

We play better when we aren't running the offense through LMA and DDR... as soon as the young guys run the offense, we start playing with more energy and winning

Legit one of the worst passers in the history of basketball...his low iq and inability to pass is what destroyed the beautiful game offense...the second he leaves San Antonio the spurs will be top 5 in points and assist per game...

Yep. I'm actually beginning to think I'd like him back if the contract is only 2 years and at the right price.

Spurs defense looks like hot garbage sometimes, but quarters like this one show you the defensive potential of this team. They just gotta get more consistent on that end. All of a sudden you see gang rebounding, everybody collapsing when opponents drive to the basket and multiple players going up to contest shots at the rim, with a lot more physicality.

He's really taken a backseat and can score at will when he needs to. He's put his money where his mouth is and setting a good example.

DeMar fits extremely well with this young team. They need a veteran go-to guy and his passing really makes him an asset. System is also very well suited for his game, fast paced with a lot of 3-point shooters surrounding him

The Lonnie/Vassell/Keldon/Gay/Aldridge line up was really good. What's great is when someone has an off night, other guys can step up.
RC_Drunkford

If the Raptors keep double teaming in the post the Spurs should run a lot of post ups and play out of those. Got some easy buckets at the end of the 2nd out of it

lonnie killing the double teams with aggressive drives to the hoop. love it.
im glad the guy has worked on his shot, but with his athletic ability, getting to the rim should be his priority, and let the outside shot work off of that.
