The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[denny2008]

Why can't Chicago lose when we win??? Dammit! lulz every damn time man. Brooklyn too. This is heating up to be a good run for 3rd. I think everyone wants to avoid Charlotte.

F the Raptors now. Get the Wiz round won (will win in 5, maybe 6 worst case) only to get the biggest joke of a team in the NBA in the Pacers round 2. Which is an easy sweep for the Raptors (semi srs). I hope you guys lose a couple haha. Who ever gets the 3 seed is Guaranteed the ECFs

I want us to face the nets, fuq that old ass team and their fans thinking they're somethin special cause the $100m roster finally learned how to play ball. Obviously there's easier matchups like Washington, but I want us to silence all the haters and put any doubts to rest that the Raps are for real. I ain't even scared our boys would kill those fools.

You guys see the vid of derozan throwing out the first pitch at the jays game?

Kind of a fail but still cool

Sorry for no link, on my phone. It's the top vid on mlb.com

Does anyone know who holds the tiebreaker between the bulls and raps if they finish the season with the same record?

the way it is now since raptors would have won their division

Thanks.

I know it's SUPER unlikely, but what if the nets catch the raptors, then the raptors have the same record as the bulls... Who gets it then

We would likely have the tie breaker vs. Brooklyn. So we would win the division and therefore the higher seed.

JV charged with DUI. Das it mane. Goodnight sweet 50 win season

[DannyStylez]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.... wat da fuq JV? God damn it, this was like one of the few things that could fuk up our momentum at this point besides a big injury.

Sigh, I just hope he's not a self-conscious guy and this doesn't ruin his confidence going forward. This could have a huge impact on our team, WHY JV? Not gonna lie, pretty dissapointed.

[lolgreg]

Jonas pls.

Right when he was playing so good as well. Terrible timing.

So what does this mean for JV in terms of playoff availability?

If the Raptors' second-year centre is convicted of the charge he will likely face supplementary discipline from the NBA. League precedent suggests he could face a one or two-game suspension, issued following a conviction

His lawyers could ask the trial to be held at a later date, maybe after the playoffs. But usually the NBA suspends a player two games for this kind of thing.

Goddamnit.....

This is why we can't have nice things!

[denny2008]

Why was he drunk at Wasaga? On a Monday? When it was cold... Notsureifsrs JV...

Anyways on another topic of discussions, what do you guys think of VC possibly coming this offseason? Honestly I'm all for it. He's been gone longer than he played here. He didn't win anything. Pretty sure the furthest he's been in the playoffs was with the Raps... But whatever. I think he's a better scoring option than Salmons, and more reliable to be honest. Salmons makes me cringe a lot of the times. Also I just wanna be able to buy the purple dino jersey with his name and number on it

Hes probably the reason Toronto still has a bball team. He led us to the second round, and almost won against AI and his 76ers. Fuk, if he made that shot then Toronto would have surely won the EC and then win the finals that year. The least we could do is let him retire a Raptor.

i agree. i was the biggest VC hater for a while. time to forgive and honor all he has done for the Raps and basketball in Canada. his jersey should def hang in the ACC oneday

[nvrstopworking]

You guys are fukked.

Yes, Vince put us on the map.... but he also set this franchise back a decade when he left in the way that he did. Dude straight up punked the team and the city when we could have had a Bosh/Vince combo for YEARS if he just would have waited a bit longer. Guy couldn't even fulfill his contract like a pro.

Vince. Hedo. Bargs. Fuk all those guys who couldn't give 100% when they were out there on the court. Never want to see them in a Raps uni again.

Kind of agree, the sentiment with Vince will always be bitter-sweet for me. But I think people will always be divided on how they feel about Vince and points can be made for both sides. It's still a somewhat sensitive issue with fans even after all these years.

But if he comes back and we retire his jersey what happens to Amir, he also wears number 15?

[khanvictt]
