Series Thread: 2nd Round: Toronto Raptors vs Philadelphia Sixers

Raptorlife and mecca

It's just (un) friendly banter.

Maybe It was just too soon for him because the loss was fresh.

But, my opinion of Lowry has been consistent.

It's all good. It was just good reading on my end.

On the flip side.... if Butler continues to be Butler in this series, if Embiid plays like tonight and gm 3 and if Simmons plays aggressively like tonight, Sixers win very comfortably sunday

The Butler most think he is or the one a few with an agenda think?

 

[flyerhawk]

Anyone seen @WiggyRuss? Curious to hear his hot takes on Jimmy.

 

[dtgold88]

Lmao...Terrific!

That should make up for his shooting 42 % from the field, 28 % from 3 in the playoffs.

Lmfao

You get there is more than shooting to this sport, right? And while you'd prefer to be above 42% there are many who are at this range or below.

 

[dtgold88]

For a point guard at age 33 to play the minutes that he does night after night to play the defense that he does night after night and he does all the little things to help the team win. The Raptors are getting nothing Off the Bench.

You know fans....gotta blame someone for the loss even if misguided. Certainly don't want to mention Philly played well, right...and no Casey to blame. Lowry an easy whipping boy for fans with a lazy take.

Your point?

Just as his shooting percentage doesn't tell the whole story, neither does plus minus or leading the playoffs in charges taken.

.....and a spot of fun on mine.

 

[dtgold88]

Get out of your feelings and try to comprehend.

Yes, they choked the last 3 years.

That was your team that got swept by the Cavs, no?

No one in the East beat the Cavs for 4 years if you were not aware. Swept other teams besides the raptors.

Again....your point?

I'm assuming you actually have one here.

None of this has anything to do with why I'm taking Philly over the Raps in game 7.

If you are not aware, Cavs aren't the only Team that swept the Raptors in that span either.

did anyone say it did tell the entire story? all of what you mention matters, but you have an agenda and rational flies out the window with you.....but it's always good for a laugh.

Point is you tried to blame Lowry for his team losing to a team no one in his conference could beat. Seemed obvious but forgot often things need to be dumbed down for you.

You are a one trick pony and so very boring.

I'm not interested in watching you spin in circles.

It was another game where the 3 wasn't going early and the Raptors decided to stick with it anyway. They have a terrible tendency to do that and that is when they lose.

I stopped watching early and I'm glad I did. Come correct Sunday.

Good luck.

You think you need to make the ECF, minimum, to keep Kawhi?

Gonna be a interesting off season.

 

[dtgold88]

I'm imagining you weeping in front of your webcam right now...lol

Why does my opinion bother you so much?

I'm allowed to not like him for any reason I see fit.

He's not looking washed like CP3.

But, he's over paid and underwhelming.

Hard facts.

Other than the weeping part, seems fair and reasonable, and you certainly aren't the only person with these thoughts on Lowry.

I've had them, but I'll give him credit when it is due.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I'm pretty convinced he's outta here regardless.

And I'm fine with it. He's got his own life and shit to worry about, if he wants to live somewhere else that is entirely his right. He did his part here.

My hope then would be that the team can maybe get something for one or two of Lowry/Gasol/Ibaka and rebuild around Siakam over the next 2-3 years.

Gasol is probably going to opt out.

Lowry is expiring.

But, gonna be hard to not eat a bad contract in return because of his salary.

Siakam is awesome.

I honestly don't think Kawhi is 100% out the door.

He bought a 15 million dollar house in San Diego.

No matter where he plays, it's basically a Summer house unless he plans to Helicopter in from Phoenix or one of the Cali teams...lol

 

[dtgold88]

.....and Gasol.

Do you think the Raptors style has cost Marc some money this summer?

9 and 7 doesn't look great.

But, he's doing all that they've asked for the greater good.

No doubt about that last part. Many said they got him to help on Embiid and seems he's done well this series.

Does spin in circles mean have the ability to be rational and look at both sides, as well as listen to what someone else is saying?

Guilty.
