After the first Q, I thought movement disappeared for a very long stretch. Ball stopped humming and guys stopped moving.

Weird given how well they all were playing.

How long does RJ have to play well before he's not thought of as an after thought that we have to trade down the line?

These big IQ games coming in Wins is a nice sign.

This season serves as a reminder of just how bad a sub 30-win team looks, and how hard it is to purposefully be worse than other teams that have crappy rosters, or even top-loaded rosters who suffer a key injury or two (or three) and can justify a deep tank without drawing the ire of the NBA.

That said, I've always like Avidja and would love too see what he can do with some actual (non-clueless like Poole) talent around him. Great connecting piece but can actually score, rebound and pass at a decent level. Has a bit of an edge to him too.

The rest of that Wiz roster was hot garbage.

GTJ with one of his most complete stat lines of the season? 20/7/5/3 on better than 50/40 ...

We got another young all-star to pair with Scottie.
RJ might just end up being another...

RJ is an efficient 20ppg scorer - might not be an all-star but he's a really good player, excellent at attacking the rim and cutting to the basket, and also is a very underrated passer.

But don't be fooled, if he puts up the same numbers next season that he's been putting up this year in a Raps jersey, he can surely be an all-star. What he's doing is remarkable...

Regardless, the fact that Masai was able to turn a 3&D role player into 2 potential all-stars (both younger than OG) is a huge W on Masai's resume.

Uh...he does score when he slashes...and he has been averaging about 20 points per game as a Raptor...so by definition...he is a scorer?

We have to beat Indiana for the sake of their pick. But then we probably beat the Nets because the Nets suck.

The winning needs to stop. WTF are we really doing?

We're doing this because DelAbott is Team Convey, that's why.

We need to trade Siakam for AJ Griffen before it's too late! - PhilBlackson
