I always said it, the man just needed to go back to the corner 3 and stop taking longer ones.

Siakam really deserves an all star nod, more then Scottie did tbh

There are only 2 corners on the floor. An elite scorer is supposed to create corner 3s for others, not take them himself.

He takes 1 a game :lol:

Relax on this, that's normal for even elite scorers. It's a good thing when your scorers can knock down catch and shoot 3s, never a bad thing.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing nor is it a criticism of Siakam. I'm pointing out that everyone knows spot-up corner 3s are an easier make, but you can't have 4 guys on the floor simply waiting for that pass. Indiana has an elite playmaker - possibly the best in the game - and that is what opens things up for Siakam. He's the same player, his role and opportunities are what's different.

Better than Barnes? Yes

He was available when the Raptors drafted?

GG Jackson was suspended by his own team for tonight's game for violating team policies. Apparently, this is already the 4th time this season he's been disciplined by the team.

Ed Molloy and crew just screwed the Knicks at game end, one of the worst I've seen. On par with Bulls Raptors early this year

He's a weird dude. Talented, but weird. He's also a black hole on offense who wants to shoot 20+ times a game and tune out his teammates. Has a lot of work to do to become a team player and channel his ability in the right way. He'll either be an elite scorer averaging 25 ppg in a few years and figuring out better shot selection and when to defer to teammates or out of the league by his mid to late 20's.

Apparently their GM is very happy with GG and his willingness to listen to criticism and work on his weaknesses so I suppose that bodes very well for him. The mystery of GG Jackson continues.

These are the things that we have a hard time knowing. Why Cam Whitmore may have fallen?

It takes a few years for these things to all pan out.

Horrible. I thought these travesties only happened to Raptors. I'd like to know the effect on the betting line of this result.

Never liked Ed Molloy

The call was made by Jacyn Goble. Same ref with the non call when Lebron got hacked vs Celtics.

An ex cop from Miami apparently. Clearly a corrupt cop and a gambler who rigs games.

Or am I reaching.

It does sound like he should have some time away from reffing.

The crazy thing is they reviewed the play and let it stand. Then not 30 minutes later Molloy reports it was a "mistake". How could they not fix it on the spot and go to overtime

Jalen Williams continues his trend of dominating the start of 4th quarters when Shai sits. 10 points on 4/4 shooting in ~3 minutes.

How does Silver still have goble in the league right now? He should be executed from the league immediately.

So Dennis Schroder was not happy coming off the bench and causing trouble in the locker room that forced Masai/Bobby to trade him for capspace. Yet he's playing the exact same role for Brooklyn who's also not in the Play-In and just ahead of his former team. Sure Ben Simmons is likely going to get injured again but every coach in this league views Dennis as a backup PG (though a pretty good one). He's seems very happy in Brooklyn doing the exact same role. Maybe every player likes New York City more than Toronto.
