Game #81: Toronto Raptors 108 - Detroit Pistons 98

[GOLDBLUM]

First pass through the boogeyman.

Nope. First, line up all yer ducks.

[Hotshot]

Why apologize I think we'd all agree

What can Brown do for you?

Because there are a few people who think that the Raps would be okay next season if they would lose FVV or trade Delon and Brown can slide in as the 3. Its a big drop off.

Who are these people?

I would like a word with them

When you have guys like Siakam and Powell and Brown and Miles(who is struggling) shooting a bunch of 3's, you're going to struggle. It's not rocket science.

Exactly. Other than Miles all the wrong people were taking the 3's. That would be fred and delon taking a lot of those 3's usually and both of them are much better 3 point shooters than Brown and Powell. But our lack of 3 point shooting ability is a bit of a worry the further we get into the playoffs. Against Cleveland shooting the 3 badly won't cut it with Love hitting 3's the way he does.

They shoot a lot of 3's but they have 1-2 good 3pt shooters. And one of the good ones(Miles) is struggling.

Lol i forgot who said that but he thinks replacing what Fred brings is easy. Yes there are a few other good back ups in the league but fred brings a lot of things that don't show up on the stat sheet. Whoever we brought in to replace him might not bring those things. Just replicating numbers doesn't always mean that player is just as good. Fred is tough, is the leader of the bench mob, gives you all the intangibles on defence that you don't even notice such as how good he is at doubling and still recovering to his man, and he's a decent playmaker. He also has a high bball IQ and plays like a veteran, NEVER gets rattled even when things aren't going well. He also has extreme confidence in himself. You can just replace that with any back up point guard.

Yeah those people are wrong

Fred is a must keep, fuck the "budget"

Exactly, and Miles is not reliable. He's too much of a streaky shooter. Fred and Lowry are our only consistent 3 point shooters and even lowry has his streaky ways as well.

Yea because we take so many, but I believe we are at the bottom half of the league in percentage. Maybe lower middle but still

Miles will be our T-Ross in the playoffs unfortunately.

The Cavaliers are signing 13-year NBA vet Kendrick Perkins with final roster spot for playoffs, league sources tell @Mcten and me. Perkins played part of season at G League affiliate after Cavs released him in preseason.

Gotta take em to make em. 80.5 games in the experiment looks successful

Yeah 18th. But the difference between us and Houston is less than 0.5% (who is 13th).
