Raptors will win this game. Book it.

Mfw AG is double zero. Doesn't feel right.

"I'm choosing 00 because that's how wide your eyes will go when you see me play"

Lowry ties it up!

They count turnovers and fouls on the stat sheet remember?


In all honesty he's been better than I've expected on offence. Still raw but he's shown a bit more than I thought he had.

Jeez payton looks good when he plays aggresive.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Yeah I'm just kidding. I like him. He's a unique player.

Was accustomed to AG32 when he played for my high school. I remember his senior year we had a sophomore on the varsity team (impressive for a strong program like my high school) who wore 00 because they ran out of other numbers in Guard sizes. I guess it kind of symbolizes Aaron's transition from hs phenom to a humble rookie in a league of even bigger phenoms.

I don't have an issue with him taking 00 but I thought his comment on wide eyes sounded cringe worthy.

Harris wants to be something he's not....

Kinda uncharacteristic too. Wonder what the context was, big media interview or smaller outlet profiling him?

Orlando looking up to the task (so far).

[Jameerthefear]

Harris has been trash the last 2 games. Payton is carrying us.

- The Raptors are respecting the Magic too much. I don't know why they are playing such close defense on guys like Harris and Payton. Let them shoot. Also, there should rarely be a time you need to double team anyone on Orlando.

- Frontcourt talent might be an issue for the Raptors. Amir and Jonas are good but neither have shown that they are clear 32+ MPG starters. Patterson is decent but a bit soft. Hansbrough is awful, IMO, and should be used very sparingly. Hopefully they can get good minutes out of James Johnson at PF in smaller lineups.

I think it was his introduction press conference, I guess he is REALLY young though and it must be such an exciting thing to finally be in the NBA.
