They'll come out of the woodwork if Toronto gets eliminated early or eventually. For them, it's all about being "right", no matter what situation it is.
That or you can find them on Real GM Raptors board still taking back handed compliments to the players, management, coaches, ownership, fans who want the team to win, etc...
The Raptors are madd underrated. I feel they can beat any team in the Eastern Conference except the Heat. Kyle "The Bowling Ball" Lowry is a f*cking pest on defense and he has the heart of a champion.
:applause: So glad this team made the playoffs this year. I can't wait to see Lowry dominate John Wall in the playoffs.

Was Kyle's nickname "The Bowling Ball" in Houston ?

Wasn't really a nickname per se but a lot of people called him that. I think Bill Worrell our commentator was the one who coined the term. :lol He wasn't scared of driving in and finishing around the rim. Feisty little fella Lowry is. Is his defense still good?

I certainly thought it was the route to take at the start of the season, but then I didn't expect trading Rudy Gay to have such a drastic positive impact on the team. I don't know what the right move is for the Raps going forward but I've been enjoying watching this team succeed this season in any case.

He can be prone to getting lit up at times by high scoring PG's, but it happens. He's still very good and tenacious. Nickname in Toronto is either "K-Low" or "The Pitbull". I believe leads the league in charges taken. His strength on defense is definitely his help defense.
He is fearless. Also, set a franchise record tonight for 3 pointers in a season for a Raptor, which is also a career high for Kyle.
I think he could get some all-defensive team votes this year.
Hmmm interesting to see his help defense is his biggest strength on defense now. As a Rocket his on ball defense was his biggest strength. I like 'The Pitbull' though, sounds catchy.
You think they can beat the Wizards?

Definitely. I think every Raptor fan wants Washington at this point.
Right now, were slated to face Brooklyn if the season ended today. Many have concerns about facing them because of experience, but I think we can beat anybody in the 1st round.
Only think that I think they will run into is being too anxious. They will be the least experienced team come playoff time. They just have to execute and play defense.
