Game 40 (TOR v. PHI) Jan 18 @ 7 PM: Raps Look to Chow Down on the 76ers in Philly

[KrazeeEyezKilla]

Hell, even playing with Demar would make a lot more sense than the Lowry/Calderon and Derozan lineup we had at the end of the game.

I actually like putting calderon out there as a sg...Toronto needs more ball handling at the end of gms when they are being pressured on D. I would have put

Pg Lowry
SG Calderon
Sf Ross
Pf Davis
C Johnson (I know he's turnover prone but what else is there?)

i thought demar turned the page in that portland game right now i cannot defend him anymore i have lost hope in him ever living up to his contract

[jsumadchat]

like, it sucks because i really like the ethic demar has and the fact that he wants to be here..... but if lowry got benched for a bit for sucking, why cant demar? he needs time to recover and he's obviously not good at bouncing back when the team needs him. i think ross would have been HUGE for us tonight. his D was a big part in stopping that initial comeback in the third.

Holiday made three wide open shots as soon as we put in the 2pg lineup. Because each time Calderon lost him on the defensive end. Even when he doesn't lose his man, he never rotates at the right time and the end result ends up being someone wide open.

the 4th quarter/OT shouldnt even be a discussion. thats the most annoying part. a 20 pt lead is a 20 pt lead, and should not have been squandered, AGAIN.

[Raps08-09 Champ]

Calderon played bad defense and Lowry shot a bad %. That's why we lost the PG matchup.

Actually, lucus should have been out there with lowry...he's a pest on d and can handle quite well.

[BALLER R]

I think we all agree Ross should of been in there instead of Demar.

[BALLER R]

Wonder if ross can play a bit of pg?

No he can't

[jsumadchat]

Nick young is a raptor killer though, like for real.

[Tmath]

Fire BC before he makes a panic move.

[KrazeeEyezKilla]

No he can't

lucus is the answer just make sure he know's he's not allowed to shoot 3's. He's probably the only guy quick enough to defend philly's guards.

[Raps Insider 12]

Rogers vs. BC

Rogers firing BC or BC making a trade.

Lets wait and see who pulls the trigger first.

preseason he was amazing but now he can hardly hit.
