Nursing Leonard to 74 wins - Official Raptors 2018/2019 Thread

[Miggs]

As good as the Raps are and can be, I still don't see them beating the Celtics in a seven game series if both teams healthy

Celtics are being overrated by everyone.They are not a juggernaut,they are not the Warriors.

Kyrie has bad knees,Hayward isnt 100 %, Horford is aging...Tatum is there future but he may not take a step this year because hes gonna be 3rd in the pecking order now....Our bench is better and tbh with Hayward and Kyrie back i dont think there D is as good as last years team....

We washed them last year by 20 at home only missing Hayward...dont forget that.

They dont wanna see that Lowry,VanVleet,Siakam,Leonard,Anunoby lineup.

Hayward trying to create room or drive past KL2, OG or Siakam.

dude.. i saw them live...

lowry wants no part of him or the raps (at least for now*).. dude moved like someone stole the meat of his plate and their was none left to replace it..

he made half hearted passes..(i saw like 3 TO in 5 minutes).. half effort to get to the paint....

its one thing to see on TV but its another to see it live from the red zone and keeping your eyes on one person...once kawhi became the ball handler.. everyone got better..

* when the team got hot.. so did lowry.. but he got ejected for no reason...and he walked out immediately.. didnt even plead his case..its like he just wanted out...cussed the ref and started walking out.

preseason

Leonard on tatum,Siakam on Hayward and id put OG on Irving and play Kyle off the ball defensively....what they gonna do ?

OG on Kyrie? are you nuts?

OG ain't got the lateral quickness for Kyrie's wizardry

id rather him than Kyle at this point....OG wont give up on the drive like Lowry does...

theres gonna be times in a game where these guys are switching and guarding 1-3

Welp Kyrie is going to get his regardless so...

Exactly at times hes just gonna make shots,would rather him driving in for layups or having Anunoy hounding him on his hip into traffic...

We saw Lowry's perimeter D jump off a cliff last year...Im fine with Delon,Fred or OG defending him...

That’s crazy fam. We beat AD with our bench and third stringers.

You know what's crazier tho, that nikkaz taking pre-season as a measure of regular season success 1-3 warriors say hi

Don’t be mad our squad is better than yours.

Tell John Wall to lay off the twinkies in the off season.

I disagree. I actually think OG is the best overall defender on this team. He does so many incredible things defensively. He’s really strong on the ball, even better off the ball and has great recovery speed. He has really good footwork and agility in his hips.

Add Ibaka on Horford and we will really give them trouble. Have Kyle play a free safety role and be pesky...we gonna cause lots of turnovers.

Yes yes you see my vision....have him roam,let him choose when to double but keep him off those 1 on 1 matchups in space late in games...Its not 2015 anymore.I mean if teams are switching and he gets put into it we can do nothing,but id rather have him play off the ball against Kyrie,Wall etc....
