What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

Raptor_Claw = Manu_Forever (on Spurstalk) = OHMMMS (on Clutchfans) = euroleague (on Inside Hoops) = hundreds of other nicknames on numerous internet forums = probably the biggest virgin on the internet = a (Please Use More Appropriate Word) Greek homer with no basketball knowledge = just a sad, sad person who needs some love and tenderness and possibly some professional medical care imho, tbh, fwiw

No news needed, everything is under control. The whole incident, was because he signed a new contract with a different team during lock out, so all earlier negotiations with Rockets went down the drain.
Well, if they realize he sucks, they can do that, but hey, I should stop right here :lol: I doubt. Their scout, former Lithuanian NT member, did not spent his time for them to trade for him and then trade him again...

But did you saw that defensive play on Kryapa? One of the worst defensive plays I have ever seen.

Game looks more interesting than the previous ones. Level is there, but Lithuanians have no idea what they are doing on defensive end, too many unnecessary switches, no one can maintain.

P.S. Is anyone here watching it?

I have been digging JV's yellow shoes he's been wearing the last month or so. I'd like to see him carry on rocking them in a raptors uni.
