Everything (2016-2017) Regular Season Game Threads

Yeah but we got the home run pick of that draft at 20.....

You mean we could have had Hood or Capela and Jokic???!! (cries in the corner) damn one of Masai's biggest draft blunders.

You're still trying to do that thing where you tie Lowry and DeMar's playoffs together and turn them into one thing. They aren't one thing.

Lowry shot badly, DeMar played badly. If you're going to keep talking about the playoffs, it's important that you understand that distinction.

I can talk about the playoffs all I want. To Lowry standard he played bad. To DeMar's standard he played bad too. They both didn't look like the all-stars they showed during the season.

Lowry was pretty shit throughout. However you want to paint it. Lol

Either way, this isn't really the thread to be talking about that. If you want to make a thread to discuss, by all means.

*sigh* Thinking how different it would be with Jokic and Drummond as back ups or potential starters...what depth and of course Hood would mean an extra $11M free, not to mention just a stud SG/SF that Hood is.

DEN and Utah have very promising young teams.

Lowry really wasn't.

Barolt is definitely right to say it's not fair or accurate to try and group their playoff showings together. The difference between the value of their play was huge.

Guys, if we are going to pine over other guys taken in the late first and second round, we should really be rejoicing. Masai has seemingly hit a LOT with those late picks, and most guys are terrible taken in that range and never even play much. You want to go through the entire back half of that 2014 draft? Feel free - you'll find a lot more guys that have done nothing yet (or will never do anything) than Jokic's and Capela's. Such is life late in the draft.

To take the late draft picks we've had since 2014 and come out with Powell and Siakam (and maybe Wright) is pretty great.

I agree with Barolt about not grouping Demar and Kyle's playoff performance but I agree with Dan about our system being fine even though it doesnt generate a lot of assists. The problem in the playoffs wasnt the system it was Demar not making the smart play. Hopefully he learns from it. Kyle's shooting did hurt us as well because he is truly our only consistent shooter. So when he cant buy a basket it makes it really tough. But it was definitely our defense and JV that got us through the first two rounds not our role players hitting shots or doing any spectacular. Most of our shooters didn't even shoot the ball well throughout the whole playoffs.

No, you don't understand.

I must complain about that one time we didn't get a impact player. It's the only thing that makes me a Raptors fan!

I'm not necessarily saying you CAN group their performances, but regardless, relative to his normal output, Lowry was shit. In my opinion.

Lol, Ron is insane but basically harmless

Casey's main goal this season should be to find a way to have this Demar + Pacers series JV + god mode Lowry all show up at the same time in the playoffs this year.

I'd prefer MIA series JV (without the injury), but I can live with Pacers series JV.

The brooms are gonna come out if that happens.

Heck if literally all that happened at once over 7 games
we'd have a chance vs cleveland
