Game 59: Detroit Pistons 94 - Toronto Raptors 123

[Bendit]

Did not see much of the game but caught the Poeltl athletic sneak and dunk in the 4th qtr. Holy shit I didn't think he had those quicks in him. Maybe he has another gear in him? And then watch out!!

...he did something similar some games ago which brought out a WTF...but he ended up on the floor and looked surprised he pulled it off...lol. Not tonight.

The greatest player in franchise history and the worst player in franchise history.

It's been a great month. And that +49 net rating though, lmao

Man I remember there was a debate here 2 years ago about who we should draft 9th overall - Poeltl or Ellenson lol. Poeltl is a freakin stud. Dude is sneaky athetic and is a hell of a defender. And the guy that the Raps drafted 27th overall that year ain't too shabby either.

Ellenson on the other hand......

I actually wanted Ellenson based on his highlights and the Raptors need for 3 & D PF cause we only had Patterson at the time.Ellenson can dominate college and G league but there is a certain level at the NBA where his lack of strength/quickness + slow footed makes him unable to compete at this level.... Could have easily said that about Bruno as well but at least Bruno has passable defence.

jeez ......blake sure was grumpy

The greatest player in franchise history and the worst player in franchise history.

Hoffa? He played a lot more, but all the fans had to be reminded of how little potential he had. At no point did anyone ever thought he'd be good. At least Bruno lied to us all.

[Hotshot]

Bruno stats line tonight was 2 for 7 fg going 0-3 from 3 while getting 4pts 3 rbs 1 assist and 1 steal.

The greatest player in franchise history and the worst player in franchise history.

Of course, the difference is that Bruno didn't force a bad trade on the team when he quit on them.....

SN story: Can Raptors seriously contend with struggling rookie Anunoby starting?

I guess it’s hard to come up with material for stories when the team you cover is winning games by 20 plus most nights.

Good for him. The rest of the Pistons don't care if they lose. They were getting outplayed by Toronto's bench the entire 4th quarter - starters should be pissed if that happens to them. That's downright embarrassing for a basketball player with any amount of pride.

Also Ibaka then Siakam did a fantastic job on Blake. The guy uses his athleticism + outside shot to make plays, he doesn't use his bulk well enough. Ibaka/Siakam are perfect defenders to stick on him, he was getting nothing all game.
