Is this a potential return of the Craptors?

They never left.  Kawhi just disguised it for a brief (title winning) moment.

Is this a potential return of the Craptors?

If VanVleet walks this summer, they are going to fade. They have him on a bargain deal right now. Also Gasol and Ibaka are getting up there. Lowry too.

Great Game! Great win!   This young team getting more veteran by the minute.  Great to be up 2-0 with no GH and pretty lousy 3 quarters by Kemba.   Hope Rob's back isn't too sore tomorrow.

[jbpats]

Smart is irreplaceable guy is just a work horse makes huge plays down the stretch
 What a win! Make it rain TPs

That was an awesome turnaround. What a terrible 3rd quarter, but Marcus, Kemba, and Tatum came alive in the 4th. Down 12, no problem!!

[apc]

Not gonna lie I didn’t this we were coming back when we were down 12, but Marcus happened!

[blink]

Our top 5-6 players have just played really well overall in the playoffs so far.
If we keep playing def like this we are going to make it tough on teams.

[mobilija]

Did I give you a TP yet?

Have another!

Couldn't watch ... was that last shot by Brown (with about 7 seconds left) a good one?

There was no time on the shot clock. He had to take that shot.

Thanks, Jvalin, and everyone else who answered my question. TPs all around!!!

No, but he had to take it.  Shot clock was low. 

We didn't really run much of a play there tbh.

[hwangjini_1]

tps for everyone!!!!!!!


great greeat win

[Ogaju]

Boxing has pound for pound champions.... Marcus Smart is the dollar for production MVP of the NBA.

[SCeltic34]

Props to Kemba who came up huge in the 4th after 3 awful quarters.  I think he had 9 points in the 4th if I'm not mistaken.

And of course Smart.  Straight up beast

They have a lot of money to spend - almost $50M expiring from Gasol and Ibaka alone. If they want VanVleet, they can have him (based on what we've seen this series  )

But, yeah, outside of Siakam and Anunoby the superstar, they don't have a whole lot else going on. Not sure paying VanVleet $25M+/yr is the best use of a team's resources, but Toronto isn't exactly the hottest FA destination.
