I came into the series thinking Toronto is the better team but the results haven't show that until Tuesday.
Brooke Lopez and Niko Mirotic ..George Hill?
We love Hill in Indy but he's never done what he's doing for the Bucks.
Marc Gasol is a great player..I dont know why he was so shy and hesitant in the first two games.
Player for player..Toronto should be winning
Gonna be so hard for us to win one in their building with Kawhi not at 100%. Luckily Siakam finally looked like his attacking self in game 3. Hopefully he can find that again in game 5. Lowry needs to keep up his play as does Gasol. I don’t know what to expect from the bench but as long as they don’t get ripped to shreds, that’s all I ask. Oh and it would be very welcome if Danny Green could return from his vacation at brick island
(although he’s been solid defensively I think)

@NorthernBlue, huge win tonight. Whoever wins Game 4 will win the series IMO. I had Raps in 7.
Series is taking years off my life. Lots of people are saying we were lucky to win despite Giannis shooting poorly. Thing is, Raptors have been the better team in 2 of 3 games so far. Kawhi is defending Giannis really well, putting Siakam on Bledsoe was a great adjustment. Marc finally stepped up and was aggressive. Siakam looked like his pre calf injury self. Game 4 is huge. If we lose, we’re cooked, but I have confidence they’ll win it tonight.

1. Chargers 12-4
2. Patriots 11-5
3. Colts 11-5
4. Steelers 10-6
5. Chiefs 11-5
6. Browns 9-7
1. Eagles 12-4
2. Bears 12-4
3. Falcons 11-5
4. Seahawks 10-6
5. Saints 10-6
6. Packers 10-6
Think the Saints take a step back and LAR completely disappoints

Toronto native and raptor fan here. That Kawhi shot is was such a long time coming man. Especially with VC missing it 18 years ago.
Bucks are scary but they aren’t as big as Philly and don’t defend the 3 particularly well. Need to hit our shots and we could pull it out. Raps in 6.
-
What a great series. Stuff like this is what gets fans engaged and connected to the team. I love what Ed Dodds said in one of the episodes.
He said something along the lines of 'We're not smarter than other teams. But we'll outwork them'.
Shows the level of humility yet confidence in this FO group. Confidence backed by hard work is the best type of confidence one can have IMO.

Luck won’t lose that game, don’t worry
nah but srsly all jokes aside tenn a really good team. They’ll be trouble this year
-
Got the positions right
-
Forget the politics garbage. I don’t care about that.
But this dude thinks Black Panther is bad?!
Already one of my least favourite nfl players
-
I don't like the Value but I trust Ballard so honestly I'll wait till the team is bad to get mad at him.
Also I just saw End Game so I'm in a really good movie

Why am I not surprised that YOU of all people wants the one prospect that's being hyped up the most on social media
(and it's mostly cause that one instagram picture).
Listen if DK turns into a beast, I'll eat all the crow in the world. But a dude who can barely get open isn't someone I think will last in the NFL.

No real easy stretches like last season when we had a really light weeks 6-10

I feel like it's less of a ref thing and more of a rulebook thing.
It's a problem in the NHL, the NFL and even the NBA. So many rules with not enough clarity that it becomes a judgement call. Perfect example: Pass interference and what is and isn't a catch.
Solution: Dumb it down. Keep it simple. Call less stuff and have less rules for penalties. Have refs only call OBVIOUS stuff. Yes, I get that we have a lot of these rules for player safety and that's important, but, and as much as I hate to say this, it's football. Guys are gonna get hurt. There has to be a better way to help with player safety that doesn't involve Quenton Nelson getting fined for dishing out a clean block or Joe Haden getting called for PI fo playing defense,. It's becoming unwatchable in big games.

Actually, no. That is NOT a fact.
It’s a prediction. And it even may turn out to be 100 percent true. But that doesn’t make it a fact TODAY.
It’s just your opinion.
NCF I want you know that you my boy and one of my favourite posters here but just so you know, lots of young people use 'Facts' as a slang term for when we agree with something

Road schedule is BRUTAL. But the home schedule only has one 2018 playoff team on it. They can geniunely go 8-0. But lets see.
I'd say:
HOME:
Wins: Houston, Jags, Falcons, Panthers, Broncos, Dolphins, Raiders
Loss: Tennessee (Think they finally bag one)
ROAD:
Wins: Jags, Titans, Chargers, Steelers
Losses: Texans, Chiefs, Saints, Bucs (I have a feeling this year that Bruce and Jamies is gonna work).
So 11-5. Most years thats a 3rd seed. At least it should be a home playoff game. If they're lucky it could be a 2 seed.

I mean if year one of the rebuild results in 10-6 and a playoff win, then I'm down
Honestly, just in general with sports, I don't like it when teams throw in these arbitrary timelines for when the team would/could/should be good. It just adds pressure. Because lets say everyone buys into this '3 year rebuild' and by 2020, the fans, the media, the FO and all them expect to be SB or bust. Well that 2020 thing is gonna be set in stone no matter what happens to the roster from now till then. Everything can go wrong in the drafts and injuries can hit and FAs can bust and people will still expect the Colts to be SB contenders in 2020 since thats the timeline the team gave.
Just in general the team should never stop building. Keep adding talent, being smart with your money, and have a culture that can grow its own, because the NFL is crazy and rosters change fast.
I've said this before a bunch and I'll say it again. I'd rather the Colts compete in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and so on rather than just 2019. Lets do that by constantly drafting our own players, coaching them into solid NFL guys, and being smart with our money.

I hope the Colts don't draft him just so we can avoid whatever the heck is going on in this thread right now

I'll never understand the comments over the kid's weight?
He's already gained about 15 pounds of good weight and he still looks thin.
So, he'll gain more good weight over the next year or two. Just like Turay will. Which is what Ballard has said he expects. These guys are not finished products.
Find the pass rushers and work on the rest of their game and address their issues. But you have to find the pass rush FIRST.
And Burns has got it.
Exactly. The speed, the quickness, the explosiveness, it's all there. Sure, he can bulk up and needs time to polish, but that's what your coaching is for.
Draft the best players for tomorrow, not today.

Interesting that he has safety at 7 while there's been reports that the Colts really like the safety class.

I like Inman a lot, and I appreciate what he brought to the team last season when we were being assaulted by injuries.
But to be honest, I won't be too upset if he signs elsewhere.
