That was nice, about two feet in from the free throw line.

Damn...1 Step in fron the free throw line in a game.. thats pretty crazy..

im surprised no one has done like half a step behind free throw line...considering how atheletic, how fast u can run up to it, and how Lavine did half over line with thru the legs, someone should be able to get it from there

Maybe... I don't know how much further they can really take it though. In the entire history of the NBA Dunk contest, only 1 person did it behind the line (and was robbed) Serge Ibaka:



I think the furthest ever was Mike Conley Sr at about 1/2 foot behind the line, but he was an Olympic long jumper in a celebrity Slam Dunk contest. Mike Conley Jr didn't inherit his dad's leaping ability.

He's had some insane highlights. When he blocked Bol Bol from 3 I almost fell off my couch.

Raps beat the Pistons 3 times in a row this season. Dwane Casey on suicide watch.

Casey clearly understood the importance of tanking this season.

Alternatively, his luck ran its course.

Does anyone know the last time the Raptors got twelve or more 3 pointers in a game? It seems like my McD's app hasn't given me a notification in like forever to come get my free french fries with a minimum $1 purchase. LOL

Detroit is only this bad because they are missing Cade Cunningham (out for the season). He makes a big difference in these Dwayne Casey Championship games.

Just like how New Orleans are bottom dwellers without Zion Williamson.

I'm expecting a bubble playoffs Denver vs Utah Donovan Mitchell to show up today given how badly Anunoby and Raptors shut him down past two meetings. Regardless of how big a game he might have, as long as Raptors can get that W and the fifth straight win, it's all good.

Wow that good? Any star player dropping 40 points is likely going to win.

Raptors have it tough for the last quarter of the season:

https://www.tankathon.com/remaining_schedule_strength

Toughest schedule in the NBA for remaining games. 9 home games and 12 road games. The road games are mostly bunched in 2 tough groups. Currently, Raptors have 7 road games with 1 home game in the mix. This trip ends on the west coast. Then at the end of the season 5/6 games are on the road.

I thought even with a 5.5 game gap with the Nets, the Raptors had a chance with the way they are playing (+ the Nets, Heat and Hawks all spinning their wheels), that the Raptors could sneak into the 6th spot, but the schedule is not cooperating.

While getting into the playoffs above a play-in spot would be great, I would be happy with a 7th/8th play-in spot given the circumstances as that at least means they only need to win 1 play-in game to be in the playoffs.

Well, it wasn't quite 40pts, but he ended up shooting 8 for 12 from 3-pt land for a 35-pt effort. That's deadly.

no shame in that lol, only a hand full of teams in NBA has a real super star get them off the treadmill.
Better learn to living another decade of... We'll beat the teams we are supposed to beat, lose to good teams, might make play-off, get bounced early, if things click, we might finish high in standing but will get bounced in play off, eg DeRozan era
