| 0:00.0 | Alright, much to get to here with this fantastic Philly Toronto game for, but first I want to remind you that if you ever stopped at a railway crossing and the signals are flashing |
| 0:10.4 | Just don't cross the tracks. Okay, maybe you don't see the train. Oh, it looks like it's moving really slowly |
| 0:15.8 | or you're thinking you could get across the tracks before the train comes. Just don't do it. In 2018 alone 270 people killed at railroad crossing. |
| 0:23.2 | So if you see the flashing lights, just stop because the trains can't. Well, potentially a franchise saving moment for the Toronto Raptors, a 101-96 win over Philly and Kauai Leonard was unbelievable. |
| 0:36.9 | 39 points, 13 of 20 from the field, 5 of 7 from downtown, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 7 turnovers, and the biggest shot, maybe it'll turn out to be, we'll see what the, how this series turns out and how the rest of the season turns out. |
| 0:51.2 | But in Raptors franchise history that fade away three pointer with under a minute to go as the shot clock goes expiring over Joel and bead with the Raptors up one to basically clinch the game. |
| 1:02.4 | Well, and the mechanics of that shot were really impressive. You did a good job of this. I was not a part of the NBA cast for this, but he wasn't the normal Kauai on balance shot, you know, in rhythm. |
| 1:15.2 | He was on his toes, his heels did not touch the floor. It was laid in the shot clock, basically just needed to get it off and didn't. |
| 1:22.4 | And you brought up Kauai being 5 of 7 from 3, but overall on, on shots outside of the paint, 8 of 12, he was 3 of 5 from mid range as well. |
| 1:30.5 | And not only, like you could talk about the counting stats and everything like that, the massive difference in Toronto's attack when Kauai was on the floor and when he was off, which made one of the storylines of this game, |
| 1:41.7 | whether Toronto would be able to tread water when he sat for what ended up only being two minutes of the fourth quarter, they ended up, you know, that two minutes was they were, I think they were down one at the end of that time. |
| 1:53.5 | And that helped lead them through because Philly wasn't getting as many shots and this was a really fascinating game. |
| 1:59.6 | Yeah, it was and a lot of big changes for Toronto Pascal Siacum had been doubtful. |
| 2:05.3 | Likely, it appears that he suffered a bruise calf when trying to trip Choelle and Bede and getting a flagrant foul after Choelle blocked one of his shots. |
| 2:16.4 | So not the smartest play there. And he clearly was limited only played 29 minutes instead more of Gassol and Ibaka together, Ibaka 32 minutes by Farahai in this series. |
| 2:29.6 | And he was way off from three point range, but got a couple of nice hook shots off a high low action had 12 points. |
| 2:35.6 | Gassol 39 minutes for him. He did much more in this series as well. |
| 2:40.9 | Van Fleet, his role was really minimized. Powell's role was really minimized. |
| 2:45.2 | And a lot of those minutes just went to Ibaka instead. |
| 2:47.9 | Van Fleet has been awful in this series. He was negative six in his seven minutes. |
| 2:52.0 | But they went to that Gassol and Ibaka lineup together with Lowry running some pick and roll to start the second and fourth |
| 2:59.4 | and they were only negative two during those periods with the Kauai out. |
