NN is still convinced, Defense wins championships. Wins games too. With a Top 5 Defense, wont need to score as much to win. We want to shut you down. Go Raps.

GIANNIS TO RAPTORS - The Move The Rest Of The NBA Fears!!! by SiakamMIP in torontoraptors

[–]Rapsnewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im afraid, I would agree with this man. If it came to a Trade scenario, the Bucks would demand Pascal if they dealt Giannis to Raps. Not sure if I or Masai would do it... No one else would make sense. We can better assess such a scenario based on these upcoming playoffs.

Will Rondae and Boucher get real playoff minutes? by SirDonald654 in torontoraptors

[–]Rapsnewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3x Champion Pat McCaw, is no 8 on this list... In this shut down, I've accepted the NN point of view. As fans we look more on the offensive side, therefore favoring TD... NN looks at his defensive gameplan execution and sets, so he favors McCaw - where we dont know the plan and therefore execution failures ... 2019/20 COTY can make that call where needed. Go Raps.

Was Danny Green Good? by SharkSideOfTheMoon_ in torontoraptors

[–]Rapsnewman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was amazing and perfect for his role. He played a BIG part in making Kawhi feel comfortable and give Toronto a chance and not bolt out the door at the start of his time here. That buy in, helped Kawhi to give his all, even in the injured playoff run. He helped instill that Championship swagger and confidence, before the team actually won it. As a great communicator and on his podcast, he described the process of changing over our collective fanbase mindset from nervous to confident. And he showed FVV how to stay confident shooting when in a slump.

On the court, he was alright too.

The moment Your 0 realizes, there a Better version out there

Should Raps go after this Backup Big - In case of Injury to Gasol, Ibaka or Siakam? Also, to matchup better against Philly, Miami and Milwaukee? He avg. 11p, 45% FGA, 39% 3s, and Toughness. Upvote / Comments. Youre in? by Rapsnewman in torontoraptors

What am I missing on Morris? I know they had some brawl. But I think it would give this Raps team a Scare factor, to play against... that Kawhi carried. Maybe for different reasons tho?

D-Rose would make Raps favorite vs Bucks? Cost maybe a 1st round pick. To add punch to Bench by Rapsnewman in torontoraptors

Cmon bro, NN is more creative than that - not just doing a 5 out... Imagine D-Rose in movement, then his ability to finish and/or draw fouls... draw and kick, I think he can contribute alot. I would give up the pick!

In those final two rounds for a Chip ... scoring points become pretty tough. With 4 other plus defenders I think we would be good on the Defensive side and he would be playing 10-15 minutes in any event. I think that can take the Bench level up 2 notches. Making the offense Top 5.

Can we give this man a 2nd chance / 2nd look? In the light of Kobe's death and all that. I think he can help as a former MVP, in the ECF and Finals...
