Jonas "Dunk Ensues Thus" Let's Make it Happen

Some thoughts I thunk during the Toronto  Raptors vs.  the Boston Celtics... I think

Can I start calling Jonas Valanciunas Jonas “Dunk Ensues Thus”. I think it’s hilarious. Plus Jonas loves dunking, and the Raptors look better when he dunks and no one can say his last name anyway. This is like a win win win win win nickname. It’s going to be a thing! In the first quarter Jonas jumped up for a rebound tipped the ball up, jumped again grabbed the ball, jumped a third time and dunked it. Must be nice to be young and healthy (knocking on all wood).

I went to the Sixers opener last night and saw Moses Malone, Allen Iverson, and  Bobby Jones. The Raptors had Morris Petersen their all time games leader, awwwww Toronto.

I may not have watched many Toronto games in my life, but that Raptors sign under the base line looks 3 dimensional. I know it’s not but I’m constantly worried it is.

The best play  of the night came from a Wes Unseld- like (I assume wasn't actually alive to watch Big Wes) outlet pass from Rudy Gay standing  by the foul line to the opposite corner of the court. Lowry while about to run out of bounds to grab the pass, ditches the ball to a cutting Demar DeRozan with a huge dunk. I wish I could make gifs. I’m sure some one has already made it anyway so go find it. Describing things with words is so 19th century amiright?

Rudy Gay ended up with 19 points on 18 shots, and just constantly was trying to be so much cooler than what he is. That’s the only way to describe it. At one point the did two dribbles between his legs and tried a no look pass to Jonas (it might not have been Jonas) on the block. This is something that Magic used to do, and Lebron does on a nightly basis. Rudy Gay’s pass went directly to a Celtic who took it the full length of the court and scored. DeRozan was also not a picnic, scoring 13 points on 6 of 19 shooting. The Raptors two best players combined for 32 points while shooting the ball 37 times. This time against a young Celtics team it was enough, other times they probably won’t be so lucky.
