Caper

I didn't say that.. but I think I would have agreed with it. I just can't get over how well they have shot. It's like they are feeling zero pressure because the season is now officially wildly successful regardless what happens.

My god DD was out of his mind.

That is what pisses me off about the NBA. That money is an investment. The team has to do it. Just like coaches HAVE to yell at the refs the WHOLE game. It's all that works. Baseball they throw your ass out.

Hard to believe people talking Bismack as a max guy, but if Val wasn't hurt no one would be talking about him.

Now I can be happy with the season.

I like Wilner. Stoeten is pretty good, but move out of the realm of baseball and his SJW ******** gets a little tiresome.

Stoeten started it. Made fun of DB on twitter. Forget about what though, might have been legit.

Another thing. How huge is it for the Raps to have their own D-League team? They were able to cycle a guy like Powell in and out of their seamlessly all year and he came a long great. I can't see that happening if he is either riding the pine in TO or going down to where ever it is they had to send them before to share the floor with guys from 7 other teams. The smartest move this franchise has made in years is having a D-league team right in their back yard. 2nd thing. Raps should get a top 10 pick this year from the Knicks for Bargs and what could be a top 10 pick next year from Milwaukee for Greivis Vasquez. After already getting Norman Powell!!! Let that sink in for a second. Masai should almost be prosecuted for that. **Edit. The 2017 pick is a Clippers pick. Still, if they have to blow it up this year, it could be 10-15.

Yeah. And that's why it's kind of hard to blame Casey. He can only do so much.

You know. It seemed everything was falling for Indy. Now it's not really falling. Raps were just throwing brick after brick after brick. Solid comeback.

Scotland's own Thon Maker has been made eligible to the NBA draft. He's currently a high schooler less then an hour away from TO. Seems to be to be an just a natural fit for the RAPS. Can spend 2 or 3 years on the D-League team, before you have to worry about him.

I hate the playoff schedule in general. Too much time between games.

How lopsided a trade was that?

Wow. What a Montly crew they ran out there. Wow. Never watched it, but Caboclo looks like he needs a bit more time.... or a lot of time.

Andrew Stoeten and Drew Fairservice were getting all up on their SJW soap boxes today to condem Gibby. Then someone pointed out they (maybe just Stoeten) used to call Steven Drew, Nancy Drew.... You know, as to say, you are a f***ing woman!! It was pretty funny. All Stoeten could do was deny a little and try and insult himself out of the situation.

If you are worried a girl can beat you up, then you shouldn't be saying it anyway.

God dammit. It was probably the right call. So ticky-tac though.

Has AS gotten better?

Raps likely going be getting a top 10 pick this year. So that should help.

What about trading for Votto and just forget about pitching? I bet it would take little to get Votto considering the ugly contract... But man it would be a fun 2016.

Their next 6 games are very winnable. Might win 5 of 6, should win 4 of 6 and could be 11-0.

Also did I hear Amir Johnson rebound?

The Toronto fan in me still fears they find a way to lose this.

The question was rhetorical. The NBA is a very predictable league. Look at the Milwaukee Bucks? How are they best going to attempt to win an NBA championship? They are ranked mid pack in the league. What do they do? I'd say trade every single asset you have and tank....Hope to get the big stud that can actually win a championship. And that is probably the answer for about 15 teams right now. If you can't bring in the huge free agent or draft near the top. You have almost no chance to get good enough to win. I think a fundamental change in the NBA draft system would help. Really, in order to to win a championship, the 10th best team needs about as much help as the worst team. Don't get me wrong, the 10th best team is much, much better, but you are still about as far away in terms of winning a championship. Now a team like the T-Wolves can be primed huge in 5 years if they play their cards right. The Pacers, the Raptors, the Heat, Suns, ect, ect... will be rewarded for NOT tanking by spending the next 5 years right where they are at. Mid-pack after thoughts. I personally think every NBA team should get a top 5 pick every 6 years. Like you are on a slice of a wheel with 5 other teams that rotates around, giving you a different range every year. 1-6, 25-30, 7-12, ect. How the teams are picked within the slice... I don't know. Anyway, that's my idea to help fix the NBA.... But not sure if that would still help the year to year predictability.
