They're just low efficiency shots. His percentages are just so much higher closer to the rim. I don't think he's lazy, he just might be a bit scared of the contact.

 

He just doesnt have the dwayne wade level explosive/ball handling ability to get into the paint and create chaos for the opposing defense. Rather than have him force it inside, id rather just have him learn how to properly utilize a ball screen ( which he still doesnt effectively half the time) or just swing it and boost his efficiency even if it decreases his ppg

Yeah 8-31 was a massive hole, and I knew of all the injuries, Quickley just got back and is on limited minutes, I think this is the first time the last 2 games with their full rotation, all of a sudde

Cool - that's reasonable enough.  However, after seeing the G-League lineup they played last night, I think I better wait until the start of the next season to go...

It might be the most shocking trade I've ever seen. Superstar for superstar and it came out of absolutely nowhere.

We rely so heavily on the long shot, when they are all sinking it's good but nights when the players are off, it's tough to watch. It's like they don't even adjust, they just keep trying.

Alright, that's a huge win right there. Utah is a bad team but you take what you can get on the road. Not overly impressive but they kept their composure late.

 

I'd disagree, they overcame a pretty terrible performance and put their foot on the throats of Utah when it came to crunch time. Was 81-76 and we finished on a 13-3 run.

 

Not the best performance but stepped up when it counted.

I was watching the game at the Loose Moose and having a couple of beers with Spanky. Awesome atmosphere! Go Raptors!

I always found that good teams never really look good playing awful teams... They beat them easy enough.... But always manage to play down to their level a bit.

Lowry probably stays in the game against a tougher team as well.

There was a segment on Allen Iverson last night and it made me think of how different the Raptors Franchise would have been if Stern hadnt decided to cheat the franchise by taking away their number 1 overall pick that year.

 

There would have been no Carter likely, no Charles Oakley. Mighty Mouse would have been traded because he wouldnt have worked with Iverson and we would have received something good for him. Probably no Bosh either

Not sure if I saw an official special but Ive read/heard multiple interviews of VC on his time in and reasons for leaving TO. As much as I loathed that entire front office, VC was also the one who publically declared he wanted out and refused to dunk/go to the rim hard for a good stretch just because he didnt see a reason to give it his all anymore.

You should watch the special, it really shows you a different vantage point that a lot of people didn't see.

 

The day before the trade, he went to Sam Mitchell and said he doesn't want to be dealt but he would accept a trade if that's what the team felt was best.

Nik Stauskas is really emerging as a first rounder.

Crazy Canada should have 2 more top 20 picks in him and Ennis.

I've wanted Stauskas on the Raptors for years, lol.

 

E: Holy f*** has his handle improved, that's silky. And he's got some really nice court vision. 3 point shooter who can create his own shot and pass from Canada? Ujiri pls.

 

Who does everyone want the Raptors to take assuming they keep their late first? Mine is probably Hood/LaVine if they slip, Ennis, Stauskas, McDermott, Robinson III, Anderson. For whatever it's worth, nbadraft.net has Aaron Gordon going #21.

Wiggins with another frustrating night last night. 14 points on 4-13 shooting.

 

The kid can't shoot and (it appears) that he doesn't have the fire to truly become elite. He's ELITE in transition and is a great athlete so he'll probably do well in the NBA where teams don't play a lot of zone... but this the extreme hype is starting to look silly now.

 

He's so inconsistent.

I can't see him being drafted in the top 2 at this point. Where do you think he'll end up going if everything stays about the same?

Lol, that's ridiculous. The draft is all about projecting what they'll be down the road.

 

Adam Morrison destroyed college, I guess he was the next Larry Bird right?
