OG is like the 5th or 6th option on this team, plays amazing defense...and some on this board flip out from a couple bad finishes?

Settle the f down.


No way. He must be a prime Lebron now, or be waived. No in between.

Nothing about his coordination and hands suggests he can develop a decent handle. He's just a guy that moves too awkwardly to be a fluid ball handler that we all hoped he could be. I'll be happy if he can be an elite defender with a consistent 3. We will have enough playmakers. I don't see him ever becoming a play initiator or above average shot creator.

Too many scares in this game but good way to end it.

He can create elite post ups inside.

He is the raptor career leader in 2pt fg% bro

He made a nifty bounce pass to Pascal for a dunk near the end of the game. He does things like that a lot. A very valuable Raptor is OG

Mmmm I dno. He may be efficient on the inside, but I worry about how he'll fare once faced with double teams in the post. I just don't trust his court vision and decision making at this time. He's very low on the totem pole in terms of offensive options right now, but we're trying to make him a part of the main core, as in a top 2-3 option hopefully and I just don't see the ingredients there at the moment. I do hope he proves me wrong, but after watching him for a few years, his skillset on O just isn't there for me. Which is fine if he can be a lockdown defender and 40% from 3.

It was a 3 on 1 rush. If he didn't manage to find the open guy there it'd have been a major issue.

We need to get a big in a buyout market. God forbid if Ibaka goes down... we are done. Gasol's being not 100% and all.
