STOP PLAYING VANVLEET IN END OF GAME SITUATIONS.

 

Holy f***.

[Orgfiller]

Okay so Derozan gets mauled by Lance Stephenson on consecutive plays and no call. Are you f***ing kidding me?

The 2 min report tomorrow should be interesting.

[Orgfiller]

Good job FVV. Glad to have you out there for the entire f***ing 4th quarter.

He also got clearly fouled by Bogdanovic on that missed layup. Egregious refereeing as usual.

 

Lance Stephenson is such a douchebag, I really wish we could have come away with this one.

[burlingtonbandit]

Couple bad calls there. Derozan easily had his worst game of the year. Lowry and Freddy were amazing but wasn't enough.

[Abomination]

This is one way to make sure a 3rd quarter collapse doesn't matter lol.

The Hawks had their own second quarter collapse lol. The difference in this quarter is pretty close to the third quarter in the Knicks game.

[Krylian]

Raps up by 40. Lol

[Abomination]

I'm not sure what the point of having refs is if they don't call anything. Raps are getting murdered every possession.

[burlingtonbandit]

FVV looks really good. Best net rating on the team (league for that manner). Raptors have so much depth its scary. Almost have to make a trade since they have 11 good rotation players.

 

Problem is there really isn't a star out there that's available. Maybe if OKC falls out of it and wants to trade George but I don't think they're going to take on JV's contract which would have to go the other way.

Marc Gasol is pretty unhappy at Memphis it seems, and the Raps are reportedly in on DeAndre Jordan. One of those two replacing JV would be huge for us.

Jordan is cheaper and wouldnt cost us OG so I'd probably lean that route. JV with the contract basically has no value.

 

Having 12 guys on your roster who are all rotation players is silly and a waste.

I've had this discussion with other people as well, I don't think we would trade OG in a deal for Gasol because the the team is really high on him. With that said, I'm not sure who the alternatives would be if OG wasn't part of the package, and I agree with you that acquiring Jordan is more cost effective.

The Clippers were rumoured to be asking for Middleton, Brogdon and Henson from the Bucks for Jordan. A ridiculous overpay that they won't get, but it might not be as cheap as you think to acquire him.

Doc Rivers is an idiot if he's asking for that.

I read somewhere that they wanted two of Middleton, Brogden and Henson for MIL for Jordan so the equivalent would probably be Delon and Jakob. Throw in a 2nd round pick for the Clippers taking on JV. I'd probably want Siakim out there with Jordan more so than Jakob. Even if Jordan walks we won't be able to keep everyone in 2 years regardless

Yea Brogdon and Henson aren't exactly prime assets( Just like I don't consider Wright or Bebe to be, even though they can clearly ball). 50 games+ playoffs of a boardline allstar C who can keep up with this style of play shouldn't just cost you 1 interesting guy who's pretty much a lock to never sniff an all star game

I wouldn't want to trade that much for a rental. Sucks that we can't trade any 1sts until next year.

 

JV really needs to be traded as he just doesn't fit the team at all. Ibaka can basically only play the 5 now which doesn't help either.

The players I wouldnt be eager to trade include OG, Poeltl, and Siakim. If we can get a good player for either Wright, Bebe and JV and a high second round pick then I say go nuts. I'd be pretty bummed as a clippers fan if we traded Jordan for that though

Agreed. Can throw in Bruno as a lottery ticket too but he's basically worth nothing at this point. If FVV instead of Delon gets you a better player I'd do it as well. Speaking of which is how does his Free Agency work this offseason? Is it like Powell where he can sign for whatever up to 4/44?

 

I'd trade JV or Ibaka with that 2nd rounder just to get rid of their contracts at this point. Ibaka is a better fit than JV but he's just no where near the player he was.

[Krylian]

Siakim is horrible with the ball

[Orgfiller]

OG is such a fun player to watch, and he's only going to get better. Also pretty explosive for a guy who was only supposed to just now be getting back from injury.

[Abomination]

Yikes, this is an ugly first quarter.

 

73.7% shooting percentage for Memphis ...

[Orgfiller]

Yeah the Raps are playing like garbage, Memphis is cutting us open with their excellent ball movement.

[Orgfiller]

Much better performance in the second half of the second quarter. If they don't collapse in the third like usual this game is easily winnable.

[Orgfiller]

VanVleet is playing like a monster. I rag on the dude a lot but he really does play hard.

[Orgfiller]

The second unit is special.

[Abomination]

We really need to improve in the last 2 minutes. Stop using the clock to such a degree that you don't get a good shot.

[jays_fever]

Next 6 games are all against really bad teams. Starting the year 22-7 would be pretty sweet
