Game #45: Orlando Magic 83 - Toronto Raptors 98

[GLF]

And you're basing this on one game? Little ridiculous if you ask me.

And his potential. Afflalo has reached his peak Terrence is only 22 and has a lot more growing to do. I think Terrence can be better or just as good as Afflalo in time. But that's just me.

Not in the slightest actually. I was dismayed when such suggestions came up a month or so ago.

The thing with AA is when he has one of his random cold nights he doesn't bring anything else. TR can at least defend the oppositions best offensive player. Heck, DD can get some rebounds and assists. For AA it's points at a high percentage or silence.

[MixxAOR]

statistically AA took a hit in January. In December averaging 22 pts and in January 16 pts

I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
I used to be jealous of Aaron Afflalo
He was the one to follow
He was the only leader foreseeing brighter tomorrows
He would live in the gym
We was living in sorrow

Well, I expected this. Great that Vucevic is back though.

Beat that…

Ah, memories.....

[Rapstor4Life]

DeMar and Ross compliment each other extremely well. Too bad Raps didnt start the season like this and shed Gay from the jump.

[JimiCliff]

Your will going to make a case for this off two wins? One being to the worst team in the league?

No, I'm saying we don't know either way. And of course, most likely we're a better team with DeMar. But, you used the word 'fact' - we can't accept anything as fact without evidence.

not sure if already posted but looks like joakim noah has already been selected. a premature video was posted on chicago bulls official youtube video before it was removed.

this could also just be made in preparation in case he is chosen.

Lol I think it's likely that most teams make videos like that for any player that has a shot at making the all star game. The same way super bowl champion hats are made for both teams every year.

But also, he's probably going to make it.

[OldSkoolCool]

How about neither? Afflalo got shut down by a second year player. We are winning without DD's inefficient hero ball antics.

So true.

We've beat two bad teams. Let's not get a head of ourselves.

BKN has been on fire.

Yes and we barely won. I'm just stating the fact that this team is not better with out DD.

No, we definitely are NOT BETTER without DD. However, we are NOT WORSE either. DD is a non factor player, been thinking this for a while and saying it for the past week and a half.

I really don't think we are too far from this proclamation being fact. I would say if DD is out a total of 10 games, we will be able to look at a limited scope and put a pretty good label on his impact level.

Personally DD is a non-factor player.

I agree with you on DD.

One important thing to remember is that we will probably play slightly worse through this stretch of games because our wing position is SO shallow. The only guys we have right now are GV in part time duty, Ross, Salmons and Novak.

The question isn't whether we will play worse without DD, but whether adding a decent, cheaper wing like Al Farouq Aminu would make us a better team for less money.

[Mess]

Man, DD misses one game and some of you are ready to give his minutes away already.

Eh, haha. Except for early on in the season when he was showing signs of having turned a corner to being very efficient, I've always kind of thought DD is a net wash.

On the other hand, he could carry a second unit comprised of defensive specialists to an average offense, which I think is where his true value lies.

[Chr1s1anL]

So DD is inefficient so let's give it his shots to a more inefficient player like Ross
