Game #14: Toronto Raptors 113 - Orlando Magic 97

[Rudy Bargnani]

Dame/CJ/Nurkic/Stotts = Lowry/DD/JV/Casey.

There really are some historical parallels aren’t there? Long time gap/weakness at the 3. Hole at the 4. Remember when we would argue Patterson vs chuck hayes CD james Johnson? Man oh man.

edit—both have Triano ties.

Casey and Stotts were both assistants on Rick Carlisle's championship winning Mavs team and both got head coaching gigs because of it. They're like twin brothers from different mothers.

Yeah, the similarities are almost eerie. If the Blazers have been paying attention, they know what needs to happen next.

We just need a rapper from Oregon sitting court side cheering them on

So who's the disgruntled superstar on a 1 year contract that wants to play in LA?

First fire Stotts, and replace him with one of their assistants (like Jim Moran).

Then trade CJ+Skal+FRP for the disgruntled super star and a decent 3+D wing.

Then trade Nurkic+Bazemore+Tolliver for an over the hill ex-allstar center, former DPOY, that is past his prime (Dwight fits, but not him).

And voila! Very easy to duplicate!

Magic are playing better. 3 wins in a row and the offence is slowly coming around.

Go Google it. I won't spoil it but some of the names are awesome...…. just awesome.

Big news wasnt expecting to see him till december

[planetmars]

Was expecting Lowry to come back first.. that's really good news.. sucks for Boucher though.

[Demographic Shift]

Oh they're gonna make the playoffs, they're gonna be fine once they get Dame and Nurkic back.

The real question is, would the Nuggets even get past the 1st round this year? because from I remember, it took them 7 games to beat the Murray-less Spurs last year.

When is Nurkic back?

If it’s in January or February Portland might not be able to make up ground fast enough at the rate they are taking on water.

You can’t win it in November but you sure can be bad enough that you can last lose any chance.

At 5 and 10 and taking on Carmelo.....It’s Defcon 3 in Portland.

GOLDBLUM needs to be in charge of all game threads going forward.

That Gasol intro could use some work though... he ain't all that.

(And thanks for the compliment! .... ain’t nobody got time for that though )

Some nice company of players I've never heard of he's got there.

[bertarapsfan]

Lol ben simmons makes a 3 and everybody freaking out treating him like when the kid with a peg leg checks in the final minutes of the last game of a high school team and makes a shot.

[bertarapsfan]

Goggle alert!!
