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.

this is why I can't watch basketball. Momentum is huge in this game and raises my blood pressure.

 

It's boring until the last minute of the 4th quarter and/or in OT.

Raps are going to enjoy no practice tomorrow. Also get to watch the Superbowl which im sure they will like.

 

Yeah a well deserved day off with some beers, food and hopefully a Pats victory!

Raptors have a 14-game lead in the Atlantic. That is nuts, both in how good they have been and how bad the rest of the division is.

Wiggins is good. 33 points against Cleveland with a back up back up back up PG. Rubio should be back on Monday so that should give Wiggins even more opportunities. Though I hope Minnesota keeps losing and drafts Okafor. Wiggins and Okafor together would be quite the foundation.

Numbers alone, Wiggins and Love are producing almost equally offensively with Love averaging and rebounding a bit more and Wiggins shooting at a slightly higher rate with less turnovers and more steals etc.. Defense its not even close, Wiggins is viewed as a future all NBA defensive player and Love is notorious for being a black hole. Add the fact that Wiggins is under control for a bunch more years and Love is a free agent next year, and this could conceivably go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history. Though if Cleveland wins this year all will be forgotten and everyone will say it was a necessary overpay.

Wiggins wouldn't get any shots in Cleveland. Love was a monster on the Wolves and I have no idea why Irving is taking 4 shots a game more than him. If Love stays in Cleveland after this year I still like the trade for Cleveland.

 

And don't say Love put up empty stats because he didn't win in Minnesota, they were a 40 win team last year in the Western conference and they have 8 wins right now.

The Hawks are nuts right now, and the Raptors were lucky to face them twice in the first 20 games of the season. Since the Hawks' last loss to the Raptors on November 26, 2014, they have lost only 2 games since (none in 2015, obviously). Raptors are 2-1 against the Hawks, playing them one last time right after the all-star break (yay?).

I don't think you can say Wiggins wouldn't get any shots with Cleveland. He would be facing weaker defenders, can post up, create for himself and hit the open 3. Wiggins, James and Irving on offense would of been fun to watch. And Minnesota sucks this year because of injuries and a tanking mentality. Can't really compare the two seasons. If Love resigns then the trade is obviously closer, but not even taking into account salary or potential, I would rather have Wiggins on my team for the next 3 years than Love.

I think you may be underrating Love here.

Probably a bit biased in favor of Wiggy, but I have never thought Love was superstar, even when he was putting up 25 and 12 in Minny.

Love was a legit star when he was with the wolves. People seem to forget there's 5 guys out there on the court at the same time.

 

He's a stretch 4 who isn't even that great of a shooter... 38% of his shots have been from behind the arc this year... a number that has been trending up over the last few years (30% two years ago).

 

LOL @ whoever commits a max contract to him. The guy is shooting like 33% in the paint this year. He has no inside game.
