I’m so impressed with how many amazing players are on this OKC team.

They’re a clear favourite and they’re so young!


I think they are better than Boston.

That Wagner pick was masterful. Obviously not even Weltman expected him to be this good, or he would have taken him with the fifth pick. But it was a fantastic pick nonetheless. He's easily the best player from the draft class and a legitimate superstar talent. Weltman outmaneuvered both Masai and Presti, who are among the best drafters in the NBA.


Masai can still be happy, he got an Allstar who might become a superstar if he is a late developer in year 5-7.

Presti had the biggest miss but he doesn't have the team he has now if he drafted Wagner.

Houston with Wagner instead of Green would be a contender though.

What’s happened to the Knicks man lol
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.

thibs rotation everygame is like the playoffs, 8 players. during the season when its 8 man rotation vs 10 man rotations of other teams, they pull off wins especially with the talent they have.

but in playoffs or crucial games, where both coaches play 8man vs 8 man rotation their talent advantage is negated to an extent.

Hawks are long and athletic and Trae is playing a good balance of playmaking and scoring. I see why they also beat Boston and Cleveland and Milwaukee on the road. 7-3 in their last 10. They may be this year's Pacers of last season.

Knicks were sloppy and uninspired too, not good

I think we all knew that PG wouldn't live up to that contract but this is outright theft.

Which is why you stay away from the Zions and PGs of the NBA world .. often injured players... with a long history as such, and especially those at the end of their careers...

Really good to see the Grizz getting back to what they were before injuries and suspension wiped away a few seasons. Ja had a great game against Brooklyn and Memphis probably belong in that top grouping. Just done an unbelievable good job of drafting and developing contributors but Ja playing like this elevates them.

Wasn't everyone saying that DeAndre Hunter is a horrible contract just a few months ago?

Everytime I see the hawks play he's going off, checked his stats and he's at almost 20ppg on 48/44/88

OKC over Rockets in a tough defensive battle. Good night for Canadians, SGA 32, Dort 19 and 9, even Brooks 14 pts.

FVV with 8 points , 1 for 11 from three. But provided lots of veteran leadership.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Fred must have the record for most games with double digit 3FGAs and 1 made shot.

Return to Toronto Raptors
