Never understood it, as I said last game, it’s impossible to expect 4 kawhi’s plus Wemby.

I don't get why we keep talking about trading him instead of adding an elite defensive guard/wing to the rotation instead


Remember no one this board hates Rj according to Reeko.

Also Ingram is almost a passenger in this offense since the team executes so well. He’ll have his moments when we face very good teams.


Draymond Green special

scottie would go stupid with curry to play off of, he's a lot more dynamic than draymond

That’s a good point about Ingram. He’s going to be fresh down the stretch because he’s just kinda played a role in the offense as a whole rather than being the guy night after night. We haven’t needed him to really take over but in the playoffs when defenses tighten up and we just need a bucket, his skillset is going to be huge.

East is totally wide open this year. No reason why it can't be us standing atop it come the spring. Knicks/Pistons hardly all that scary in comparison to the teams out West.

Ingram is the break in case of emergency guy. Can get you out of a tough possession or drought.

But this is precisely why I said he’s not the number one option the other night. He’s the best at his job and it’s a very important job. But who do you want possessing the ball the most?
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

In order for that player to have a big impact you will have to move someone from the starting lineup. It’s between IQ and RJ.

anyway I’ll just enjoy this team for now


If they keep the same starting lineup and go the bench early, why does it matter who starts?

Just good stuff. Good vibes. Players seem to be responding to Darko. Ingram bought in. Scottie playing with way more maturity than last year it feels like.

I’m loving this as Siakam and the Pacers scammed the Raptors out one of their young guys in the trade by colluding. :)

Rj has been consistently good this season and you keep talking about trading him. Sounds like hate. There’s plenty of ways to acquire impactful talent without having to trade your best players. See the Ingram trade last year.

Because he just wants to trade Rj. He’s a hater.

In these blowout games, I want to see Jakob attempt a 3.
