    Raps lead by 2 at the half. Pape has been real impressive, had 2 sick blocks and went to the line a few times. 2 games and he's already doing better than hoffa.

    99.9% of the NBA players are better than the brazilian...

    I agree though, Pape was impressive. His man to man defense needs a lot of work but he was a blocking machine tonight. He made a few good post moves too.

    We need to pick up one of those offensive scrub leave it all on the court defensive perimeter guys because it's not funny anymore when every single perimeter player in the league eats you alive. You could see the clear difference in defensive rotations on the floor when Pape was in, and when any other Raptors big man was playing.

    I love how Pape has improved his shot, he was hitting his FT nicely. I think he needs to start. We also need to change our coach...

    Don't forget the let James dribble around, run down the clock and throw up a shot at the last second play. That's always a favourite.

    ^The worst thing about that play is that he'd call it after a full timeout...
