Yeah, amazing game, tonight, their paint penetration in the first half was relentless. Really sucks about JV. One positive, getting a look at Boucher, who's averaging 28 and 12 with 4 blocks per game in the g-league so far, with .333 shooting from 3. Just went for 47 tonight. Split JV's minutes between Boucher, Monroe, and a bit of Siakam at centre when small-ball is an option.

Dominating great teams without Kawhi, so fun to watch

WTF? I missed this game, saw the final score and thought "Wow, that's promising - A Khawi led Raptors just easily handled a full Warriors roster".

Maybe I'm the only one but I prefer seeing white jerseys in a game. Not a huge fan of the colour on colour trend we're seeing in the NBA. Looks really bland and dark with two solid colours going at it, need that sharp contrast.

Kawhi doesn't get enough respect, as a superstar, to draw basic foul calls

This is just horrendous shooting. Raptors are completely out of gas on this trip given the injuries.

Bench lineup is an abomination, they can't make any shots

OG is terrible tonight. Like I don’t think he could hit an open layup.

It's a long season. There's going to be tough road trips. Put the game behind you and move forward.

Nurse went off on the refs and the abuse Leonard takes. Going to get fined but he is absolutely right.

Refs were bad, but some credit to the Nuggets who look like they'll be a handful for everyone out West. Raps swept the season series from the Warriors, but got swept by the Nuggets. It happens.

Van Vleet has to be tied with CJ miles for the worst raptor this year. Making low IQ plays all over the court, dribbles way too much, can’t shoot at all, undersized and gets bullied on defense. No idea why he plays insane minutes over Delon. If I see him pull up for another 20ft brick imma lose it. Raptors are awful right now and yes I’m aware Lowry,Ibaka, JV are out. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s 1 for 11 this game and he still has the nerve to not kick it out to Kawhi but dribble into two guys and get easily blocked. Have hated the way Nurse has used him this year, just way too much of him. Raptors bench is without a doubt a big problem, no one can shoot.

Raps held Indiana to just 11 (!) points in the 4th to win 99-96. Pretty impressive.

Lol and of course Vanvleet hit a clutch 3 at the end to take the lead. Still not a fan of his play this season but hopefully that’s a good sign. So many bricks by him, CJ, and OG this year. Nice to see that go in. Kawhi was a monster tonight

Thought I might be tripping on LSD, turns out I'm just watching Raptors at Heat.

This time of year all the sports are a toss up. Players eat more, drink more, just not in the mode for competing given the time of year, so these things tend to happen. Nice time to bet on upsets I'd think.
