PG: Best tank in the league continues strong!!! 

Post#1 » by Hansari » Sun Mar 24, 2024 2:51 am

We plowed through the Wizards, got DET back to 31 and firmly positioned at #6 at the moment now.

Olynyk and Brown look just as bad as the G Leaguers. Sometimes people just get lucky in life.

No. There is no way the Wizards or Detroit can win 12 more games, even if the Raptors lose every single one. Could still get first pick with pingpong luck though.

So do you think they are giving Ramsey the full contract or cutting him loose? Tomorrow is decision day, I believe.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

They can't cut him loose. Ramsay actually looks like a player. We need guys like that. But can he be a playmaker? That's Darko's obsession.

"Mensch' is a Yiddish word for a a person of integrity and honour - e.g. "He's a real mensch". I wish there was a comparable Yiddish expression for this tank, which shows full, organization-wide commitment.

Probably not. Because he is 22% at 3 point range. Not Darko's cup of tea.

Mid range and off the dribble shots are not allowed.

I’m not sure I’d go as far as saying he looks like a player. I guess he is worth a camp invite, 50k guarantee on the 2nd year of a two year deal. Would rather sign Jontay to real contract and Ramsey to the two way. But the deadline for two way deals has past.

You think we are putting Scottie up there with the possibility of taking the L?

I'm just waiting for the Shaqtin' a Fool episode dedicated to this game. Kelly throwing the ball into the stands, Gary getting blocked by the rim on a dunk attempt, Gradey committing the clear path foul...

I've had a pretty neutral position on GTJ, but watching him get blocked by the rim to give away a late lead... couldn't help but feel/hope that was a bookend on his career as a Raptor.
