His atrocious defense didn't help matters tho tbf lol


... I'm not saying he wasnt a bad defender. I'm saying if he was a generational superstsr offensively he would've made up for it.

Even with all of kawhis great defense if he put up demar derozan numbers offensively we would've lost to yhe sixers guaranteed.

People just love shutting on players thay are not ours. I don't think people realize that rven with aytons soft defense or soft mentality or however you want to **** on him, 1 for 1 for og is at least a fair trade talent wise. And that's being generous to og.

I can 99% guarantee if we had Suggs and we were offered fvv for Suggs, all of fvvs famboys on this board would be saying hell no to that trade.

DeMar (and the Raptors in general) didn't succeed because Casey found something that worked to win games in the regular season but had nothing else to throw at the opponent in the playoffs. At least one Raptors' coach, might have been Nurse, said as much after Casey was fired.

To be a legit contender I think it's as easy as asking whether your best player could get off "The Shot" that Kawhi made.

You obviously don't understand the discussion your reply isn't relevant to it. It has nothing to do with the point being made. I don't give a **** about demar. This is a continuation from a discussion in a previous thread. To which the initial point I was making was that elite offense makes up for bad defense. Keep up or just dont reply with thinga that make no sense. I'm not trying to start random debates about nothing.

Ayton's all fun and games until his maxed ass is on the bench in crunch time after being played off the floor in the playoffs.

Whenever I watch Ayton, dating back to his days at Arizona, I see a ton of stuff like this:

Read on Twitter


And on the offensive end, he's pretty soft as well. Factor in his contract, I'm just not a fan.

Wait till another pundit makes a new tweet mentioning the Raptors. There'll be a whole new 40 page thread like the woj thread. Plenty of time for it

I don't think we're in the position to even be talking about playoffs right now. Ayton or og it doesn't matter we ain't doing ****.

if we're going to pay a guy max and we can only have 2 maybe 3 of these contracts on our team, we probably should care.

OG i know won't be played off the floor in any situation.

If it's a Fred-based deal, I'm ok with Ayton. Still wouldn't deal OG or Pascal for him.

It's official...he went for 40...again...for the 3rd straight game with one of the league's best defenders on the opposing team. I won't even name names at this point. You know the vibes.

And he doesn't have the worst +/- on the team!! Suck it haters! :lol: :lol: :lol:
