Game Takeaways: Raptors @ Spurs

[dabom]

RG gonna get eaten alive on defense. I stay with Kyle definitely

Ruday Gay is the player fathead strives to be.

Not defensively.

[dabom]

Not defensively.

It's like we've never seen fathead play defense in the playoffs.

And on offense, Gay>>>>>>fathead.

[marinoman]

99% is not "never". Do you understand English, got.

Lol at 99% not being a practical certainty.
You should play football cause every team would love to have a corner who can backpedal as fast as you. Once again don’t on gasol or Parker ever again or you’re contradicting the asinine posts you’ve made here.
Im so glad we’ll never have to hear your ty takes on great contract great player Parker again

You're a piece of JV poster. If you think Patty Mills had a bad playoffs 2 years in a row, you must have smeg in your eyes.

[marinoman]

Can this marino got reply quicker. I'm about to go sleep on this POS poster.

Sorry to hear you’re waiting by your phone waiting for my replies lol, go to sleep, you clearly need to rest

[dabom]

99% is also not 100%. Where did you go to school bud?

Kyles defense > Rudy’s defense. Thought we were talking defensive lineups, my b.

99%, but you desperately want to on Parker and gasol still. Go to sleep little boy

Parker fluffer. I just quoted you on another thread.

[Aztecfan03]

Brah,

Broken parker, broken vagina tiago, Kawhi was hurt that year too, fat diaw.

sounds like this year so far.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray is so good, Aldridge going inside Abaka, and Danny 2.0 (it's unbelievable his evolution) ... what a player !!!! ...big things

[Brazil]

Murray is awesome tbh... feels good to have him in the team. I hope he keeps he starting job and Parker/Mills/Manu take care of the bench

[Dingle Barry]

LDN dribbling and pulling up and pivoting for a baby hook? Where in God's name did that come from?

[Chinook]

I like how you didn’t mention mills, I wouldn’t either. December 15 can’t come soon enough

January 15*

First post-up I've seen from him since 2014 against CJ McCollum.

[Fireball]

With all the good Murray brings right now ... Pau Gasol is awful ... and just when I wanted more of his minutes for Lauvergne the man gets injured

[UZER]

It's amazing how Danny's game improves when he puts it on the floor with purpose instead of "oh , what do I do now." It looks like he came into the season prepared to do this more. That's all were ever asked.

Still a wait and see game if he can keep it up, but looks good so far.

[Chinook]

The benefit of Joff getting hurt is that Pau should play less with Aldridge for a big. Issue is that with Kawhi being out, the Spurs have to play either Bertans or Paul minutes at forward. Not ideal.

Lauvergne is not necessarily great, but it's just that Pau has been sooooo bad that it makes one wish for anyone else. What a bad contract.

[Mr. Body]

Kyle doesn't get the credit he deserves on the defensive end. Defense was supposed to be his major issue but he's figured out how to use his length, smarts, and positioning to be close to a smothering presence there. He's also a good defensive rebounder. Major props to him for turning plus so soon.

How do you see things shaking out?
I have to admit I have been surprised Bertans hasn't been playing after all the run he got in preseason. I mean at this point, Brandon Paul is coming in for defensive possessions ahead of him and when Pop needs an offensive spark, he's turning to Bryn Forbes. I think Pop is just giving Forbes a chance to show he belongs in the league, bc he had an impressive summer and was lighting up training camp and preseason. Davis wasn't so impressive.

But I am also worried about Davis at this point. He needs to play bc frankly, if you can't play Davis at this point of the season, when the team has a lot of injuries, and PATFO made a conscious choice to go forward with a thin number of bigs bc they counted on him for depth... at what point is he going to become useful really? If Joff isn't ready for next game, Davis will play. I hope he's ready to make an impression. I have been prognosticating a shooting spree from him bc he's too good of a shooter to stay with a bad shooting % as he had in preseason.. that is going to trend up. Hopefully it's right now when the team needs it bc they aren't healthy and whole.

Murray is legit
No longer hold my breath when Green drives
Does LMA sustain the at ude for 79 more games + playoffs?

[DAF86]

A takeaway that hasn't been mentioned: BP3 showed some nice playmaking on the few minutes he played.

We will have to see what happens when kawhi gets back. Those touches will recede. I hope they find a way to make it work.
