Like I said I hate how this organization loves trying to make bench guys starters when it’s clear their best role for the team is off the bench.

:lol:

Oh man, this boards inability to be impartial regarding some players is wild.

Dude made an ASG and we still have people arguing he wasn’t good enough to start :lol:

I’m sure we would’ve loved to have him as a 6th man. Unfortunately, guys who are good don’t settle for less money and lesser roles.

I HOPE Shead one day is so good we have to complain if he’s a true all star or not one year.


Jamaal magloire was an all star…

Please apply this inpartial argument to yourself as well.

Jamaal Magloire got in due to stupid position requirements.

Not even in the same stratosphere of players my god.

Fred's pre all star numbers were fantastic. It was after the fact that he fell off a cliff.

By far, not even been close. Ochai has sucked equally on offense but been a bit better defensively.


I hate how Ochai was arguably their best wing last year and he’s not getting a chance to outplay dick or Walter who have been worse and have no track record of anything better than what Ochai did last year.


Well, he's injured now or he probably would be playing in front of Walter I think.

Ahhhh **** me. I can already see the new love obsession starting. This is FVV circa 2019 all over again.

Can’t wait to build this guy up just to tear him the hell apart :lol:


How many times have we seen Shead run into three taller defenders instead of passing out?

Feels like they’re reluctant to blow the whistle for us.

It's not even IQ v Shead since IQ can easily play 2 guard beside Shead whenever we want.

We I said he would eventually be better than Fred but not as good as Kyle, I got a lot of push back.


I could see that. He is faster and more athletic than both of them. He is starting to remind me of Kyle a little with his relentless hustle & physicality.

A few, nothing in personally concerned with.

I’m just hyped we have legit 2 man PG rotation. Big part of our prior era success was awesome PG play.

From Lowry / Vasquez to Lowry / Delon to Lowry / Cory Jo to Lowry / FVV.

2 point guards that are playable is an insane luxury to have. Our next goal is getting that 2nd C.

Yoghurt producer doesn’t seem to get it. If we stop acting like shead will eventually be the future star tint pg and next Kyle Lowry then I guarantee you no one is gonna tear him apart. Let him excel in his role
