still waiting on that one guy to show me the advanced stats that said that Baynes and Len were great additions. Baynes is probably one of the worst players who have gotten consistent minutes in Raptor history.

I lost all interest in the season. trade dead line was most exciting thing about this season. And now just waiting for the season to end to see what we do in the off season.Quote:

That’s a bit surprising to meQuote:

tbh this team has a lot of selfish players. It's always been like this when Lowry is out. Lowry babysits a lot more so guys aren't as trigger happy. People just generally don't notice or want to talk about it because we were winning in the past. FVV has always tried to play hero. Pascal loves to take on 1v3s. Boucher will launch it from anywhere.Quote:

See to me that’s not a culture, that’s just one great leader setting the tone, and if he leaves it all goes with him. This is a problem IMO.Quote:

Hey man you’re not Lou Williams, we need you to do more than just score.
Oh I know, that’s why he’s changed his tone lol it’s just kinda funny.Quote:

Are there really fans out there who want Nick fired? That's just absurd. They must be bandwagon followers who dont know what losing feels like. It's not his fault the team is undersized and has no depth at center.

I'm not a fan of small guards and for all this talk about him being an elite pick and roll guard, he hasn't really shown any flashes of that. For a 4 year guard, he's not very polished idk. It is too early to tell but I think his ceiling is backup PG like Delon.Quote:

I've really liked his play over the last couple months. A little up and down but he is attacking the net with force and is getting high quality looks. The weight loss might have actually helped his defense. He is looking quicker laterally and showing signs of the type of defense he was playing early last year.
