We would have zero rim pressure without RJ. Whether it's starting or as a 6th man, you still need someone that can do that.

Why is IQ the player you are wanting to keep?

Looked bleak for a bit there, but Battle came in clutch in the 2nd half

They’re missing 4 starters. Are we really going to do this? Our starters should be embarrassed.

Beggars can’t be choosers! And we are definitely beggars right now.

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.

Am I crazy for thinking Dick is either a trade piece or just in need of a change of scenery? Because he's looking more and more like the odd man out for this team.

This is the NBA. You can’t expect to be 100% healthy every game. Should we not expect our team at 95% health beat a team missing >50% of its points production?

Why is IQ the player you are wanting to keep?


Because he’s the only ball handler and 3pt pull up threat on the roster. And it’s a lot harder (and more expensive) to find a PG that complements RJ than to find a SG that complements IQ.

You can see the worry on his face. After the Battle 3 you could see him frowning

But you have no issue pointing out one teams missing players but not the other.
