We’re below them right now. As long as they squeak out a couple wins we have a shot.Quote:

you don’t wanna go down that road because I’ll pull out games where he goes 4 for 23 or something too lol, but I’m not gonna do that. I know it’s hard to believe but I actually like him. He had a great game last night. If he finds more consistency I’ll get over the contract. And I think he will.Quote:

They need to pick between Trent and FVV. Use one as a trade asset. Find another playmaker. The NBA is in love with scoring PGs rn but Lowry showed why a playmaking guard is still useful. I think Flynn can be a steady guy like a Conley type (not comparing their playstyles) but I think we need more playmaking and Bembry is not the answer. This team is so fun when everyone is involved.
I'm starting to wrap my head around Lonzo. Lonzo throwing outlet passes to Siakam would be fun.
I still can’t warm up to Flynn. His body language just gives me a play for self vibe. I could be biased thoughQuote:

But then again I would probably get rid of Trent Jr in the off season this summer and get rid of Lowry too this summer
Sign Lonzo Ball from New Orleans
Lonzo plays the 1 for you guys next season at point guard
Then VanVleet at the 2
Problem solved
I think Lonzo it NY bound.Quote:

That was a close one. A loss tomorrow against the wiz should wrap things up.

Probably explains why Masai drafted Bruno so early. Rockets wanted him.
LOL how do you figure? LaVar has been nowhere near the Pelicans or Hornets and as far as Eric Flynn he's just a proud papaQuote:

But the point was with Lowry/FVV/Flynn, I think pg is really the least of our concern. I personally am not crazy about Flynn but he is showing flashes and I give respect where it’s due. So even if alowry does leave the team still has two pgs. And could sign a vets min guy to be a 3rs string or we can draft another pg with one our 2nd rounders to be a prospect in a 3rd string role.
I just don’t see why we would target a pg in free agency unless the Raptors aren’t very high on Flynn. Aside from my personal bias, I think the Raps are high on him.
They are both morons and if their sons were on the same team I can see Lavar challenging Flynn to a steel cage match, Lol...Quote:

wtf am i watching
That was a great game with an excellent result. It’s so hard to root for the raptors losses but it’s necessary.
The tank is in full force.
We can't really get better than 7th it looks like. So this is a great result as it keeps us there.
Yeah the tank is there but even with a high draft pick, will it be enough to bounce back next season?
If we lose Lowry and don't really get any free agents, re-sign Birch, I think 6-10 range is a safe bet.
I'm optimistic about next season. They will need to add some depth but they should be back in the playoffs next year.

Ever since we got Birch the team just looks tougher to beat. It’s not like he’s an elite big but he’s bringing so much more to the table at 5 than anything we tried all season. Add the fact that we can make some off-season moves, and add talent through the draf, + the team could come home, I think it’s going to be a nice bounce back year.Quote:

I don't see y'all as tougher to beat ever since Birch got there. Y'all still have a lot more work to do especially on the defensive side of the basketball. In order for this team to be relevant again especially next season, y'all are gonna need more depth. Case in point Birch is a free agent this summer. But then so is Lowry. I mean you should get rid of Hood, Baynes and then GTJ is a free agent too.Quote:

Then as far as the draft, comes down to luck of the draw as far as ping pong balls go and then deciding on who y'all are gonna draft.
The Canadian government won't let y'all play at Scotiabank Arena for some reason but yet they let the Maple Leafs play there. But if the Canadian government still can't even let y'all play at home, then y'all have to find another home yet again or you stay in Tampa for yet another year.
I am not sure if you have been watching the games, but raptors have been playing hard and have been losing close games to playoff bound teams. Once they added help to the front court, team has looked decent. Honestly if they didn’t sit the key players, they would have been in the play in tournament by now. With a high draft pick and some decent off season pick ups, this team will be a playoff team again. The core is decent and this is just a retool season.Quote:

3. If you dont think the team looks much improved with Birch you simply haven't been watching my friend.
Freddy not playing tonight really hursts me. Im about to go to the finals in fantasy, but with Freddy sitting I likely lose this week and get eliminated. Am I being to selfish for wishing that he played, its $800 bucks on the line :laugh:Quote:

Not sure if we have discussed this before, but how do you think bargnani would do in the modern nba?Quote:
