I understand it. Those people who want Drummond play video game version of him and grabs like 20 rebs a game and score all his points on putbacks. If only he did that in real life.

I mean, I get it if people here would be interested in has been Horford as a replacement C, despite his atrocious contract - all for a playoff push.

Still can't understand why people are interested in Drummond......... it's like the ones who want the Raptors to make the playoffs this year and go all in on Drummond, are secretly hoping for a tank job instead.

And just like that the Raptors are 1 game back for being the 6th worst team in the league. The 6-17 range in the standings is congested, can swing anyway in a week.

Miami to face the Clippers without PG and Kawhi. :nod:

Atl hopefully can beat the Knicks in NY.

Cheer on the Bulls to beat Indiana.


Washington beat Houston.

Bulls beat the Pacers in OT.

Atl and NY are tight late in the 4th.

Milwaukee has been reeling of late. The heat are very beatable. We also played the Sixers pretty tightly until that final minute we gave it away.

Lost opportunity with the Bucks win today. Have to regroup. Be back thursday much better. Jrue's absence making this tank job especially tough.

Vin is like the late great Throwback. Loud and confident. Unfortunately Budenholzer might be the worst coach in the league and so it was bad timing.

Drummond would kill this team from the inside he would be an excellent tWo commander. Weird to see so many people want him, he would be a disaster.

Only hesitation on getting a new Tank commander is I truly feel as we get closer to the deadline Philly will realize how great it would be to have a 18 point 7 assist guy that can play good defense on their team. I feel like we can get something of real value for Lowry.

Man this team is good!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.
