Game 58: Raptors @ Hornets, Fri Feb 25, 2022, 7:00 PM, TSN

[The Great One]

Siakam is 3 for 13. Fred is 3 for 12. Why are we talking about Birch?

FVV is clearly not healthy and Siakam is lookin like bubble Siakam. Their best player in this game is a rookie.

OG can play defence with a broken finger, no?

Fred should not have played tonight. People think we have an elite medical staff and take care of our players, because of Kawhi, but I dunno about that. Pascal definitely looks rusty again. The whole team lacked focus tonight.... you can always tell by how they start out the first quarter playing defense (or not).

Just tuned in.... What the hell is this??!!

Masai Ujiri's team.

Masai Ujiri's team.

Is it too late to tank?!

[The Great One]

They're going to be facing another hungry team tomorrow then b2b against Brooklyn. This is not good. There's no one to blame but Ujiri. I like Thad Young but he's redundant. They didn't really address what they need at the deadline: a C and a shooter/playmaker. To make it worse he traded away this year's 1st.

short answer is yes

Svi and yuta are buried so deep on the bench they'll never see the light of day. Down 40 and they can't get some run lol

Masai & Bobby are bringing in a very specific type of player to fit our system. It's beyond obvious at this point. Whose system is that again?

[MixxAOR]

You were expecting us to be a contender this year?

I thought you weren't scared of anybody?

[KeonClark]

Raps: were buyers at the deadline.

Fans: shooters? Backup guard? A decent center?

Raps: how bout another 6'9 wing with no range?

lol. I don't think any NBA team has been so dominant this year to the point where an upset in the first or second round would shock anybody. That's a lot different than saying you think the Raps are contenders to win the championship. That's Trump level twisting right there.

That said, after Nets-Sixers deal: if KD, Kyrie and Simmons are healthy, plus the Nets depth, that is getting scary. Also if Embiid and Harden gel... that's also scary.

we definitely need a shooter.
