Not easy for a team to go from the gameplan being 70% of all possession go into Vuc in the paint. But they don't have a choice right now.

Nope... that’s why I created the poll. It’s not hard to see how the rest of the league works and come to that conclusion.

And this is the Magic, who weren’t supposed to be here with this roster and it’s current development. If we had shooters around Vuc they would pay a big price. We don’t.

How many legit, max contract super stars in this league can be shut down this pathetically?

Throw triple teams at Durant, Harden and like. They will still be effective.

Vuc isn’t in that tier. Clearly. So why would you pay him like he is?


He’s not getting maxed

TRoss > Vuc

If we are only keeping one keep Ross

There have been a few shots he's taken last game and this game that were Kawhi-esque, in that he was slow posting near the top of the key and waited until the defense gave him the open look he wanted - then he drilled it.

That's not a 'Gordon is Kawhi' comment, but it looks like he's learning to get himself the shots he wants, and in the playoffs no less.

Vuc needs to start shooting and making shots.

Raptors main strategy is to trap Vuc and contain Ross, while eveybody is having fun talking **** about Vučević, Ross low key is having 4-16 for 3 this playoffs. But heeey, let's point out once again how bad Vučević is . :crazy:


Show me endless posts about maxing out Ross and I’ll start bitching about him as well.

Yeah yeah, Orlando can't shoot. What else is new. It's been the case for damn near a decade now.

He’s playing with more poise.

There is nobody in this forum ever who said anything about maxing out.

But for comparison, Gasol makes $24M a year, and that's type of money Vuc will get.

Yep, classic Frenchie Boy. Pass up the open shot to take a contested one.
