I'm incredibly jealous, I hope you had a great time and I look forward you you going in depth when you get a chance.

man what a sloppy game. Imagine if we had Gay to start the season, we finally have a clutch finisher

JET41 · 02-13-2013, 10:20 AM

I think Rudy Gay bring the excitement to the Raptors, that was missing since Vince Carter left.
Must feel really good for Raptors fans to finally have that.

Do you think Raptors would be fighting ... or in the playoffs if Rudy Gay was here from the start of the season?

**Basel** · 02-13-2013, 10:43 AM

That DeRozan was sick. Surprised it wasn't talked about more. He Mozgov'd Mozgov.

JET41 · 02-13-2013, 11:14 AM

That dunk was awesome, it definitely should've got talked about more. I think it's my favorite of the season thus far.

AllRim · 02-13-2013, 01:08 PM

That dunk gave me an erection.

And Jet41, yes we would be a playoff team, if you look at all the games where we blew a lead in the 4th or missed a shot to win the game. Rudy wouldn't have gotten us wins in all those games but we would probably be a couple games above .500

Mr_B · 02-13-2013, 03:58 PM

Maybe its me but Gay game reminds me more of T-Mac than Vince

**ozzzymandius** · 02-13-2013, 07:40 PM

WOW!!! I'm stunned. Raptors with the crushing defense?? WOWWWW
I'm totally floored... Big surprise and definetly huge for us!!
Notable mentions...
Lucas -- still dislike him greatly. Amazing when his shots fall but a desperate non stop chucker when they don't.
Anderson -- Work ethic!! Back to the tough defense that actually fuels his offensive. Great game
Derozan -- great job driving to the basket and switching it up for great pull-up shots. Awesome performance tonight.
Amir -- wicked defense !! All night long.
Gay -- Ok. Bring me my crow. I said the guy had better be good to make up for the trade ... And he's delivering BIG TIME!! True stars find a way to contribute so when his shot was working it was all about defense and assists!! My hats officially off to that young man!
Bargs -- Jesus... He's still here?? His stock is falling, falling, falling. Horrible play on both ends tonight.

Great game!! I'm still stunned.

vs the wizards they need to try to feed barg down low and get him try to work inside rather then just stand at the top of the 3 pt line. If we are to get rid of him he needs to work harder to get Lowry's attention or Kyle will onky look at Gay and DD. Bargs for his own PT needs to really pick it up.

Yes. Our talent level really exploded by bringing in Gay. I think we would have been the 8th best team and played Miami close in the 1st round.

I love Jose but we have Lowry so it was redundant owning both players.

You hear our own home fans booing him the other night after he clanked two long bombs in a row? That's cut throat man.

**Porn Player** · 02-14-2013, 12:11 PM

And POW

**ozzzymandius** · 02-14-2013, 03:14 PM

The fans were brutal the other night with Bargs. Open call for "We want Boozer" everytime he messed up in the third and forth qtrs before getting the final pull.
I'd be ok with it but the penalties for falling into the luxury tax zone are pretty high. Not sure that's worth it.

The Toronto Raptors were told last week that they can accept the Andrea Bargnani and John Lucas III trade for Carlos Boozer and Nate Robinson from the Chicago Bulls whenever they wanted it, according to league sources.

That deal could take the Bulls below the luxury-tax threshold.

The Bulls would like to avoid paying tax, especially if Derrick Rose is not able to play this season.

**Porn Player** · 02-15-2013, 11:38 AM

I'd do it. But then again, I'm not paying the money.

Boozer is playing some great basketball this year. Nate as the sweetener isn't what I'm about though, I would much prefer Teague or the Charlotte pick, and I hope BC recognises they have more value.
