This all feels a bit familiar..
Anyways,
Does he even know what this would do the the game thread rotation?
We would be decimated.
So let's go on a roll.
Why don't we start here?
I hear you. The team's frustrating. This guy is injured. That guy can't score in the clutch. We were one possession away from winning.
All true.
But what is this season really about?
I don't think anyone laid any money out on them winning the finals.
I got decent odds on them even getting to .500
It's about something in-between
I've heard from the Sixers legal team about calling it The ProcessTM
Let's call it a growing year.
Let's see where we were at the beginning.
(names have been removed to protect the innocent...you were not alone)
Re Scottie
Barnes is garbage. Can't shoot. Can't rebound. Can't run half court offense. He's a defensive specialist who will be way too much of a liability to leave on the court for extended periods of time.
His best scouting reports all they can say is he's long and a good defender, because that's literally all he is good at.
I'm going to lose my mind if we pass on a surefire All Star in Suggs to draft Barnes. He brings literally nothing to the table this team needs. We have great Sf/PF defenders in OG and Pascal. We need rebounding which Barnes is allergic to. We need scoring which Barnes is incapable of. Barnes is a surefire bust.

He's absolutely a project. Basically he's a poor man's Scottie Barnes, and he was probably drafted half because of that and half because he's from Toronto and the Raptors have wanted to draft a Canadian for a while now.
Just went back and watched the game focusing on SVI, I think he should be ahead of Gary Trent jr. Whether that’s as a starter or coming off the bench. His basketball IQ is really good
Was anyone buying Siakam stock this off-season?
(well, a few were)
Did we really think Freddy would step in for Kyle so seamlessly?
(hold your comments)
Really, I think so much as gone well that we are now even more upset when we lose by one possession to the best teams in the league
(FWIW, this is discussed well in an Athletic article by EKoreen today but I already had this going after we lost)
So, sit back. Relax.
Hopefully Freddy will be back soon and the Raptors we envisioned can show what they've got.
Not saying we should be happy with a season of moral victories.
Because we don't need anymore of the OKC/Jazz/Pistons games.
Take care of the teams would should beat and be competitive with the big dogs.
And speaking of big dogs, bring on the Heat.
Currently first in the Eastern Conference.
Not sure what's up with Kyle. Definitely not just going to the Eagles game. Hope all is well.
Currently listed as "out" for the game but there's still some time.
The Heat play those pesky Clippers Friday as well.
So basically, yes, ask for more....
but
Go Raps
