Kawhi has like 3 game winners in his entire career. He misses the overwhelming majority of game saving shots.

You gonna compare that clown siakam to kawhi lol.
Siakam at best is a third player on championship

 

[Celery]

There shitiness is mostly self-inflicted. Trade Baynes and Powell for Marvin Bagley Jr. Also let Boucher start wtf is this playing Siakam at 5. Or even better try to snatch up harden.

OG at the five works best. He can body up most centres and is a 40% three point shooter, forcing slow footed big men to close out. The problem we have now is we were getting no offensive production and do defensive presence from either of our centres. We fixed that with trebuchet

He has the motor to become a first option but not any gifted talents. Kawhi and others have both the drive and talent.

Ur off crack what u finna do when he has to guard dudes like Embiid in the post hes gonna get raped. OG should stay at the 3 and Boucher should play 35+ minutes at the 5

If they turn it around they’ll address it at deadline. OG works against most teams, but not all.

It hasn’t happened yet, but I’m calling it. The raptors will go down by 30 and won’t come back like last year. Why? Horrible offence vs excellent offence

 

[Celery]

It’s 47-47 at half. You might say “hey it’s a tie game. How are they going to lose by 30?” They led by 11 with 3 mins left in the quarter. All the energy they expended going up by 11 was for nothing. Dallas throws the knockout punch in Q3.

Bright spots: Chris the butcher of Montreal has 11 points and 7 rebounds off the bench. The Raptors are winning the bench battle by 17.

 

[Celery]

It’s the end of 3 and they’re not down by 30 as I predicted. That was hyperbole as you can imagine. They’re up 81-72 with 12 minutes left. They will lose by double digits. You heard it here.

Raptor won by 23

I’m jinxing them sub. That’s the only way they win

The Raptors are leading Miami 56-42 in the second game of their mini series. They led by 21 and everyone knows no lead is safe especially that early. What’s even more concerning is how badly they’re struggling against the zone and Kendrick Nunn. The guy is taking pull up jumpers with his team down by 16...and they’re going in.

The third quarter will be very interesting. Either the Raptors rely on their defence and conserve their energy for the fourth (eg they lead 80-74 after 3), and throw their final punch in the fourth; or...they try to throttle the heat in the third and expand their 14 point lead to where the heat just give up.

My prediction? The Raptors go for the jugular in the third and miss. The heat easily weather a storm (mild showers) and Duncan Robinson and Dragic heat up from three. Despite the score at half, Miami wins this one 118-110.

It’s 73-64 at half time. My prediction that the Raptors conserve themselves for the fourth is coming to fruition. The only question: were the Heat also conserving their energy for the fourth? They actually spent all their energy digging themselves out of a hole only to fall back into it at the end there. It’s a rap. Raptors throw the knockout punch coming up

 

[Celery]

Knockout in progress. Stanley Johnson is busting the zone
