OG is looking really great. He's tightening up his drives and using his strength to get to the rim and finish under control. I'm honestly shocked he's gotten this much better at driving/finishing over the last month. Obviously his defence and three-point shooting are top tier and also integral to our success. Hopefully, he can keep it up.

I honestly kind of enjoy it. It's not near as bad as those years after drafting Hoffa, hoping Joey Graham is going to be something, or Loren Woods as our starting centre. At least we have a good core and young guys. Could be a hell of lot worse as a Raptors fan.

Yes and no. We got deprived of the chance to enjoy the feeling of being defending champs with a legitimate chance to repeat, like most champions get. Just looking around the NBA this year and at our own team improvement, if Kawhi & Danny came back we'd be a lock for a finals repeat and probably favorites to win it all again this year. Maybe even a 2-3 year dynasty run. It's kind of sad, but we did our deal with the devil. Maybe that's the feeling around here.... sobering up.

No expectations for this year. Just gotta hope for improvement from Siakam and OG. Kyle is not going to continue this production. Saw this too many times. After this West Trip we'll be exposed and I hope Masai doesn't try to improve this roster but be a seller.Only one thing matters: We The Champs.

A win is a win, and in this league you take them anyway you can. The game was close because of SAC's offensive rebounding creating extra possessions and their great 3 pt shooting. The fact we were able to grab only 2 offensive rebounds says something about the emphasis Nurse places on this stat. Lowry's 6 turnovers (some weird ones) didn't help. Like what I'm seeing from OG so far this year. He is motivated given his contract status. Same with Ibaka. Norm will soon see his minutes dropping and he may find himself in the DNP category if he continues with his indifferent play. Looking forward to the upcoming road trip where we should see increased use of the off season signings (RH-J and SJ) along with Davis, Thomas and Boucher. Might even see Miller. Thomas sure has a smooth stroke. I can see this guy getting more minutes as Nurse gains trust.

Not just here. RealGM post game threads are like 10 pages. Part of it is that the Raps are kinda boring cause they are so good. Blah, blah, blah, 14 straight field goals. Yada, yada, yada, 5-2, budding superstar, another breakout performer in OG, Lowry playing like he’s 28. Ibaka looking like he’s not a shade over 43. Undrafted rookie playing early season minutes. Whatever.

I bet if you took the average age of reddit raptors it's like 19 and average age here is now over 30. I can confirm too: I posted a meme about kevin Durant and his injury at both places. Everybody here found it funny. Everybody over there was outraged and offended. It was an interesting case study.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

After i made that post, I googled "are message boards dying" and a plethora of results confirmed that to be somewhat true, their popularity has definitely dwindled.

One thing about offensive boards to keep in mind as well as that the more buckets you make (i.e. the fewer missed shots), the fewer total offensive boards will be available. Theoretically, if I team made 100% of shots they'd be grabbing zero offensive boards, but still win the game by a mile.

But in the context of counting available possessions, raw offensive rebounds really is the critical number, with the underlying point being that if you are getting killed in possession count, you really have to overperform on each possession - which is exactly what your 100% FG% scenario represents.
