I really like Norman Powell's game. Very athletic, pretty nice shooting stroke and he likes to be aggressive. Very mature, promising that a player in his first year has that kind of mentality, he's like the anti-Ross.

looks like he's running out of gas again, concerning

 

Shutting him down would be wise

He has an elbow injury, had it drained tonight. Said they tried rest and it didn't work, needs to play through it

(tank in case the Bulls get into the playoffs)

okc played us really well defensively. they forced a ton of outside shots to guys like powell and james johnson types. pretty much exactly what you want. then on offense the absolutely killed us on the fast break. even when they werent getting traditional fast breaks they always had good positioning from always being ahead of the defense. it was frustrating as hell to keep watching again and again.

Shows you how important Lowry is to this team. Demar is not the man, Kyle is and thats undisputed

I thought he was horrible when I first saw him (bad shot selection big part of it) but really like what I've seen of late. He seems to be a really hard worker so I think he can improve even more. Steal for a 2nd rounder.

I agree. He used to take some awful shots when he first got a chance to play, his selection has gotten much better since. I guess we can thank Raptors 905 for helping him work on his game.

powell still does a lot of boneheaded things but hes a rook so its natural. still gotta cut it out with all the unforced turnovers though. his decision making can be bad but again that seems like its just growing pains. seems like his only weaknesses right now are those generic types. kid looks good.

Congrats to the Raps on their 50th!

I'm surprised by how little pub the Warriors are getting as they put up the greatest regular season in the history of basketball

sarcasm?

Carroll is a joke, a really bad joke.

I haven't seen Bruno play in some time, this video was refreshing. He looks much more confident, can actually dribble drive to the net, hit contested shots in the lane, playing physical. Still the d-league but I think it's the best tape I have seen of him.

 

[GD]

Jimmy Butler. Demarcus Cousins. Blake Griffin. Paul George. Kevin Love.

 

I could see any of them getting dealt. Going to be pretty cheesed if we don't condense some of our young assets into one of these guys.

every time i see him he looks absolutely atrocious and i dont think he will ever be anything good. still love him though.

Norman Powell is really f***ing good.

Hyperbole.. But easy to see some Wade and prime Rose in his game. Such an explosive first step.

Draymond Green committed about 4 fouls on that final possesion in their loss to the Celtics..

 

Patterson should take note that you're allowed to hipcheck players during the last 10 seconds

Well, he's not.

[jays_fever]

Well those refs can never justify calling another off the ball foul ever again

[John_Havok]

JV playing like an animal for the last 2 games. Wish this was what he put out there consistently

[dineke]

jv getting better on defense I think... nice.

[John_Havok]

I mean, it's too bad Casey is punting the game, but JV has come to play for sure

 

I get resting your big guys before the playoffs, but you already have 2 days off until your next game and have games against the knicks, sixers and nets to close the season where you could easily rest them without a big deal.

 

But when you're letting Thompson, Wright, JV, Patterson and Ross go head to head with Parker, Aldridge, Leonard, Duncan and ginobli, youre in for pain.

Can't believe the Raptors got Norman Powell and a pick for Greivis.

[GD]

Guys just watch March Madness lol.

future d-league stars

Idk about you guys but I personally enjoy watching young adults be exploited for their athletic talents without compensation

[jays_fever]

I was shiting on Powell early on and Im falling in love with his game.
