Nick Nurse coached a great game last night as well,shouldnt be understated....

He ran Gasol on the elbow and had alot of action around it and we was running some great plays when we got on that run 2nd qtr....we were running some great double screens to get downhill action and some good variations of horns offense with kawhi as the ball handler where were basically trying to get Siakam in the post on a smaller defender and no help...

No surprise it was probably one of his best coached games of the season...

Saw the video posted on RGM regarding his corner elbow setups from past seasons. That style is perfectly suited for Marc. Think he will gel much better with the 2nd unit as option 1, assuming he's fine with it.

I know we made jokes earlier in the year but watching Hayward try to guard Siakam is beyond comic. Didn't realize last night was the C's first 20 point loss of the season.

Vucci been a problem, we really ain't got a an answer for him


He wont be a problem when the intensity tightens up....None of those teams are a concern to me (Miami,Orlando,Brooklyn,Detroit)

Not one of them we beat them all in 5 games....We have played down to most of them during the season.

Vucci is a great regular season player,he isnt gonna win nobody a series and lets not forget hes a terrible defender....

I’d still rather not face magic but the way they are playing wouldn’t be shocked if they move up to sixth

Raptors real global ambassador is Ajay Virmani....i notice hes been hosting Uncle Dennis this week in the city...i dont get too involved in this he goes he stays shyt but if theres one real thing to make you think hes re upping its the fact they appear to be building local ties laying framework for business deals....

Word and it’s clear that while Kawhi is an introvert, he has an ego and there is a desire from his camp to be visible. The Spurs philosophy doesn’t promote “superstardom” but Toronto is an .org that really pushes their stars forward and there’s little market competition in the country with respect to basketball personalities. This is important because basketball is probably the second biggest sport in Canada now and because Toronto has influence beyond Canadian borders. To top it off, you won’t be dealing with the same level of negative media shyt that comes with superstardom in the USA. Combined with the fact that we have a great team, medical staff, black president of basketball operations and top organization in the league...AND we can offer Kawhi the most money, it’s sort of a no brainer for him. You get to win, play in a nice city with great food, the most attractive women (with real body parts) in North America outside of Miami and tons of shyt to do. I’m sure Kawhi and his camp are taking this all into consideration.

I mean you really expanding on what i said,i dont know what he or they think of any of what youre talking about....Kawhi seems like he dont give a fukk about women and city and nightlife choices...But theres a business angle here and upside thats clearly being explored by Uncle D....and thats a tangible thing,the rest is all speculation....When youre hanging out with the Virmanis at this point in the season theres something going on because they are about business and networking....it doesnt make alot of sense to be doing this near the end of the season if your just gonna bounce in 3 months...

The he smiles,he likes his teammates on the bench,hes high fiving pascal,hes out having a burger at Holy Chuck..that shyt is meaningless uncle D hanging out and doing business with Ajay Virmnani and his son in March is something...
