I get it from not wanting to be stuck in the middle but the play in makes it a little more difficult to get a top 5 pick. Cant make a case against wanting the team to lose from a fan perspective, it makes sense but I believe Masai and Bobby will get this team back to their winning ways regardless of how they finish this season.

Birch will most likely play tomorrow. Lowry might play as well.

If you mean his body looks strong, sure. I dont think he is anything special in terms of a project though. I was shocked to see him play so much below the rim finishing around the basket. He did a good job boxing people out, but didnt look like much of an option on the pick n roll

Last night was all about GTJ, Flynn and Yuta. All 3 had their best games in. Raptor uniform. It was really good to see those guys score the basketball. I didnt realize GTJ picked up a Dame Lillard impression while playing with him in Portland. Dear lord he was unconscious last night.

He moves well, has insane length, can set hard screens and knows when/ has the mobility to slip them. You're expecting too much from a 10 day.

I think he got the game ball. He had a nice showing.

Noel's defence is so good. If he had better hands he would be a max player. Crazy.

In a normal season, I actually think we could bounce back. Even with a fully rested Lowry and Pascal, we look so tired out there.

Flynn needs to be more aggressive and let it fly. He's so useless otherwise. You can't pass up shots as a pick and roll guard in the current nba.

They used net ratings to say his defence sucks. They said he's only a spot up shooter, black hole etc. Then weirdly knocked him for trying too hard.

I have been reading a lot of love for Trent Jr from Blazer fans but yeah I disagree with that assessment about him. I'm excited to see him develop through our system. I really like his upside.
