Lowry and the raptors!!! Big Time HEART and GUTS by Lowry and the Raptors. For those poor fools who don't know what playing with heart is like, just watch Lowry and the Raptors. Overmatched and underman, no one expected them to win 1 game let alone two. Getting blown out in 2 away games, losing a huge lead in tonights game. Shooting terribly in games 1 and 2 and on and on, but Lowry and these raptors don't quit, don't give up and they certainly don't play without heart or effort. Skinny Lowry taking it to Irving and the cavs, Byombo playing like dikembe, Derozan making tough contested buckets.
LOL. What a narrative shift. Where was all the heart and passion talk when they were choking games left and right the last two seasons? Toronto is in the conference finals because Bosh and Whiteside were not suited up. People were clowning on them literally two games ago.
Toronto got a lot of favorable calls/non-calls down the stretch, but it doesn't matter because Cleveland is going to win the series.
Toronto's broadcaster got it right on. Raptors = 04 Pistons. Biyombo = Big Ben Lowry = Billups DeRozan = Hamilton Scola = Sheed? xD
We also lost JV. I don't know why you're such a hater, lol. It's w/e though, I'm happy as hell as a Raptor fan.
Narrative Shift? When was I talking about the previous two seasons? For that matter what does playing with heart and passion have to do with losing games? I didn't expect the Raptors to beat the Heat, let alone win two games vs Cleveland, (in fact I thought they be lucky to win 1 game) but I knew they would play HARD and with intensity, ie... with heart, unlike some NBA stars and teams.
He'll get overpaid, but I doubt he will regress. He's always going to be the same player... I don't see him getting paid then getting lazy on the boards. Same. I thought the Raps would have done well to keep a single game within single digits. Would have been shocked if they won one, let alone two. PPat = Sheed Carroll = Prince
If he was ready to play, I'd probably bring him off the bench as to not disrupt what they have going on right now.
Hahaha. Kyle Lowry and James Harden could've been in the same backcourt. James Harden. Kyle Lowry. Same backcourt. Oh god. O LAWD
Agreed. Cav's defense would be so focused on Lowry and DeRozan now and they need JV's points off the bench.
Props to the Raptors for seizing the win after losing the lead. Enduring this kind of gut check was the best way for them to take game 4. DeRozan and Lowry need to bring this on the road for them to have a chance. I doubt it happens but I'm rooting for them.
