"Fire coach Casey" "blow it up" Official Toronto raptors 2015-2016 season thread

[Miggs]

The Brazilian Nas got you all

You saw that album cover

When he figures the speed of the game and gets his weight up he COULD be such a problem...How does one grow arms as long as there legs...I was staring at him standing in the corner,if never played a sport professionally those arms should land some decent puss...You cant NOT stare at em...

@Miggs @Tic Tac T O @Fey77 How have the Raps looked this preseason? I keep tuning into the games late and am not seeing much.

Can't say anything bad except my post about Bruno. It's been like that last two games and he's not hitting from there. Lou played some backup pg and was balling. Ross been playing well hitting open and contested shots. Our bench in general is nice. shyt won't be like last year with Salmons, Fields, Hayes, Novak just out there taking up space.

what channel was the game on?

i missed it

 

[Miggs]

Really hoping for Ross and Val to break out this year. And by break out I just hope they're game is more consistent from game to game.

Has Ross been driving to the rim, or still settling for jumpers?

Nah he wasnt driving,he was hoisting but he was hittin everything from everywhere....Its frustrating even when they go in...I hate that jab step then step back non sense...he could average 8 FTs a night easily...

I mean he does look like him, and the lil half moon near his line is some 1990s Nas shyt


Some people just hit the genetic lottery, he's got a 7'7" wingspan which is almost a foot more than his height.

Really have to be patient with Bruno, dude is so raw. Watching him in summer league you could see the potential, but damn dude was raw.

I keep hearing Ross is hitting his shots, but not enough driving to the rim. Is he still being timid?

Those arms..

Ugh.

Re: the bolded.

That is what drives me nuts about Ross. If dude would just be more aggressive taking the ball to the rim. What worries me about Ross, you can't really teach/change a guys instincts.

We will see tho.

How has Lowry and Demar looked? By all accounts I have read they have looked solid.

That "15 pounds" he put on still ain't enough. He caught a nice alley from Kyle though He was hitting some tough shots and prolly felt he didn't need to drive or create space first. Need to see him in the regular season with regular minutes to see if he's added that to his game

Yea they were good...Contrary to what these haters think Lowry is going to be an all star this year,he looks so good (II)

He looks to be in good shape mid season form right now on both ends...dare i say both him and demar could be better this season...

Ya, I seen some highlights of lowry, dude looks fit. Never to worried about Demar, dude always tries to get better each off season. And Demar has a great track record of actually getting better each year. Good to hear.

Pretty pumped about this season. Been a long time since I had high expectation for the Raps that where not just homer daydreams.

Thanks for the updates..
