Full Version: Toronto 108 Atlanta 97
Two wins in a row and Atlanta, Houston and Orlando on the schedule. Could an actual winning streak be imminent?

Maybe not the Orlando one but I do see us beating the Hawks. T-Macs going to put up huge numbers because its our home game and he loves to kick our ass at the ACC. Winnable game against Houston but the raps have to bring their A-game for sure.
All are winnable games but all three times, espacially Tmac, will be looking for some revenge
New Jersey Girls > Toronto Girls

Why? Did one of them agree to talk to you?
High pick and roll with James and Bosh for 48 minutes!!! We'll never lose!!! 
Are we still going for the number 1 pick? What's the big idea here.

The Knicks and Hawks lost so we're not going to be bottom dwellers any longer!
This team is playing so well that you can smell 20 victories!

Ok from what i see Hawks wont draft Rudy Gay. New York certainly will. DAmnit. Lose pathetic raps lose.
We get to play these friggin muppets again!
I'm prolly going to get bashed again, but from the stuff I hear about Reddick ... shouldn't he be a good fit for the raps? The raps sure could use a good sharp shooter.
And I don't just mean 3s. Somebody witha deadly midrange. Most raps buckets are off drives (I haven't seen the past few games though, stupid SCEast), most shots just doesn't fuckin land, and if the opponents are able to close down the middle, raps are pretty much fukked.
From what I hear gay seems to be phenomenal though, talking about a Duncan caliber player (I know he's SF not PF, but I'm talkin talent/potential/skills wise)

No, actually i agree with you. We should use our top 3 pick on a guy who we could easily get in the second round. We could really use a shorter version of Kyle Korver with worse defence, and not as good looking.
Listen the raps have enough guys that shoot the three. The raps dont have a guard(mike james maybe) that can create his own shot at will. They need an very athletic SG that can complement mopete and JG defence. Just because a guy can shoot the three still means he gotta get open to hit them
This has a let-down game written all over it.
And PBI, it's probably the same girl that offered to suck my client at Best Buy the other day, so don't get your hopes up.

I actually think Dee-zy meant to draft Reddick with our second pick. No way does Reddick get drafted in the second round. He's too good of a shooter. Maybe teams will go for him from what they have seen of Korver. Reddick doesnt play defence, thats for sure but if a team has good defensive players already they might just as well gamble there. I hope Reddick doesnt pull a Luke Jackson when he actually gets drafted though.
But im all down for getting Rudy Gay. So what's with the New York pick? Is it lottery protected? What if New York end up getting the first pick? Will Bulls draft Rudy Gay. I dont see why they wouldnt. They only have Luol Deng filling that spot.
This is a loss, I called it.

From what I heard Reddick is a lottery pick...
I guess I heard wrong then.
Like I said before, I'm not talking about cats that can hit 3s, I know the raps have alot of that, I'm talking about somebody with a good shot. I thought that reddick was able to create his own shot.
ah well, I don't know anything about NCAA, and from what I see here, I don't seem to know much about NBA either.

Redic k is projected to be 13, and I think I have seen other mocks that had him top 5.

I'm thinking by second round he meant second pick. At this rate, our second first round pick will fall right around 13.

nm, I confused him with Brewer and morrison, they were projected to be high. Not Redick, but Redick would still be a nice add I think.
You should be writing in "Who we should draft" and not here. Next Tuesday the Raps will kill on the Hawks and Redick... I could care less.
pennington, with this year's draft class there is no freaking way that JJ Reddick is a second rounder. It's just an incredibly weak class overall and that will raise the stock of several average players like JJ Reddick, Sheldon Williams and Rudy Gay who aren't capable of making any significant impact in the NBA. I just hope Adam Morrison is there for us because he's still fairly young and has a crap load of potential but I'd pass on Reddick because there is no upside at all.

It's true, they traded away an unprotected pick for Eddy Curry (I think). Oh the Knicks.
so the bulls get the #1 pick?

Yep, im assuming so. Therefore, if the Knicks tank the season and end up getting a first or second pick, Bulls are selecting Gay or Morrison for sure as all they have is Luol Deng. I dont see the hawks picking Gay or Morrison though. IF we end up top 3, we have a shot at 1 or the other fo sheezy my neezy.
Hawks are trying to take over the NBA by building a team of Small Forwards!
In the past couple of days, people have been saying trade Mike James while he is playing good.
Is there anyway we can trade James to the Grizzles? Damon Stodamire is injured (probably out for the season), and since James is playing great as a point on this team, we may be able to fool the Griz into trading for him.
Memphis Grizzles guards are :
Shane Battier (G/F), Mike Miller (G), Eddie Jones (G/F), Antonio Burks (G), Dahntay Jones (G), Bobby Jackson (PG), Anthony Robinson (G, but rookie)
Eddie Jones is a veteran (no way in hell should we go after him), but can we somehow steal Shane Battier off their bench?
We can give up Mike James and Loren Woods for Shane Battier and something else...
I know this is wishful thinking, and it probably won't happen, but SHane Battier is only a 4 year pro, and he still has potential. To bad they got a smart GM unlike ours

How did the game thread become pick thread and trade thread? We might as well fire or trade everyone in Raptors and lose the game by default.
We are becoming RealGM.

what's wrong with eddie jones?
what's wrong with eddie jones? ....uhhh 5 years or more past his best playing days.....
i just got back from a week vacation and watched the last 3 games in the game in an hour format... i liked what i see in the last few games.. we have been able to close out strong and i really think we can have a winning january as a lot of the games are against sub .500 teams. Lets begin with winnin this hawks game then we can say for sure we have won an entire series against one team even tho its the hawks
There shouldn't be more than a 3 day gap between games. I want to see the raptors play some ball.

That's because his minutes are greatly diminished. He still registers many many 20 point games, still pretty serviceable for a vet I think.
Are Joey and Calderon playing tonight?
What?? I keeping an eye on the score on Yahoo, I look at the lineups and Pape Sow is at the bottom. Is he back to the Raps and suited up?

Man, this is the first Raptor game I've watched in 2 weeks and I've never hated Chuck more than I do now. Wow, is he annoying or what?
This is a game Hoffa should not be playing! CV matches up perfectly with Pachulia and could take advantage of him! Hoffa is just eating up CV's minutes!
The Hawks haven't made a field goal in 5 minutes yet they are on a 8-0 run.
18 FREE THROWS IN THE QUARTER FOR THE HAWKS? F****** bullcrap!
Hawks shooting 58%, nice. 
Man are we hanging in there against the League's number one team. DAYUMNNNNN.
