Anyone who thought this game was gimme has not been following GS, they have been very good.
(also we have Lucas instead of Lowry, that makes winning less likely)

Lucas gave the team nothing....
Wasted a career game from Gray.
Derozan might get (I believe) his first double double with assists and points though.
And my latest gripe is the D.Quote:

it is awful of late. Difficulty scoring is a much smaller problem than unable to stop the opposition.
Wonder how this game would've panned out without Bogut, his interior defence has been stifling the Raptors (apart from Gray)
dd breaks bogut's ankles and flails as more often than not at the hoop
Solid energy by GS all around, they are not letting up one bit. We are seriously outmatched, Casey did not lose this one for us, lol. It was actually impressive that we kept up, Gray was not expected to be this good.
DD dropped Bogut with the simplest of hesitations. Someone isn't a very good on-ball defender lol.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

compliments of DD's layup
yeah looking at the power rankings today I saw that we were (I think) 10th in off. and 27th in def. almost the opposite of last year.. thought we were turning the corner when our win streak started but the D has def been on a downward spiral latelyQuote:

Edit: sorry that was 26th in defrtg
Some good positives. Demar Derozan with a double-double, Gray with a career game, fans get pizza, and.... Well, I'll probably have a new poster tomorrow night for my room called "Barnes colors the Gray."
the D has vanished since JV left the team we dropped to 25th such a joke we were top 18 with JV and Ed in the post. Last season Raps finished top 10 defensively. I dont get it the d is nonexistent GSW lived inside today awful awful interior D what was it 54 points inside for them? wtf.
Why is it that DeRozan doesnt get touches late? February has to come fast!

The D has not been consistent in the last 2 games, but I think if you take our last 20 games, you will get a much more impressive result.
This was a completely different team with Andrea and Lowry to start the season, so I would check the stats from AA's return to the lineup as I think that is a much better squad.
the ref's are making sure we get that top 5 pick we need. they are actually helping us.
I think we can all agree that the bucks deserve the 8th spot more than us and Boston needs more help now to make the playoffs too.
let's get rid of bargs and Jose. trade away ed and start acy.
Guys! We need James Johnson back! #ShitRaptorFansSay

3 are no longer in the league and 2 are having brutal years.
Raps played a GREAT stretch of D - albeit against weak competition - after the 4-19 start. They, like the start of the year, have got away from it again. Casey coaching to his weaknesses - and with good results in terms of points on the board - to the detriments of his strengths and the Raps W/L record of late.
