Rudy Gay with his second pull up, game-winning jumper as Raptor (VIDEO)

[spreadeagle]

Only a handful of games, but people who bagged on Toronto for making this trade must be changing their mind, what a difference maker so far.

Rudy Gay has knocked down the game winner for Toronto for the second time since he moved there. Think they like that trade north of the border?

In both cases, Gay was able to use some hard dribbles to the basket then pull up and get a really clean look — this time against a solid defender in Corey Brewer. The result was a 109-108 Toronto win at home over Denver. At some point soon teams are going to start doubling Gay in these situations, or trying to take the ball out of his hands completely.

The Nuggets had time for one last shot but after a pretty much botched hand-off screen and so it was Ty Lawson trying to create on the drive against the longer Gay and the contest on that shot made it nearly impossible. Gay had 17 points on the night but he won the Raptors that game down the stretch.

overpaid, underated

Gay has always been clutch. That's not the issue people have had with him.

Same move...likes to go right...bet he misses his next game winner

He's a decent player, won't ever be a star, but that salary is not a good for Toronto.

[Minimal]

He made the same game winning shot 2 years ago against the heat.

[bholly]

that drive to a mid-range jumper down towards the right baseline needs to be called the Rudy. dude loves it.

[gwrighter]

He's ballin for the Raptors right now. A couple of game winners & averaging 3stls per game since heading up north.

[JiffyMix88]

I wonder if the Raptor fans still want to take a **** on Bryan's front porch?

he's a star in Toronto. probably average 20+ points per season now.

All-Star? there is only Melo, James before him. Should get the nod in a bench spot next year. unless he gets voted in by the whole of Canada of course lol

i think the raptors can trade bargs before the deadline and i am tellin you now they are an 8th seed with boston, philly, atl, and the bucks around the same mark

The Grizz could have used that against the Clips in the playoffs last year.

He's shooting 41% overall and 23% from 3. Maybe if he was a better scorer, they wouldn't need him to hit game winners.

Also does other things on the floor bud. Can't just look at scoring and shooting percentages.

But that's what we're talking about, him scoring a game winner. One guy said he's a star because he's averaging 20ppg. How is this NOT about scoring?
