Nurse immediately went to hug Serge, but Ty Lue got in the way first :(

I’ll sleep easy tonight knowing Baynes, Bembry, and Johnson are off the team next year, the squad will improved and back home, and the Clippers have no chance of winning a title.

Actually a lot to see. I was never huge fan of Norm but i kind of miss him. Except few games Trent is a big disappointment. Norm was one way player but AT least he shot good percentages. Trent is just volume totally ineffective clanker.

Yup, Norm’s offensive repertoire is DWade-like when compared to how one-dimensional GTJ is. I agree with someone in the GDT who said Jalen Harris might be better than GTJ.

I didn't watch the game, but that's probably the most balanced scoring box score I've seen from the team all season. It's mostly been 3 guys with 20 points, one with 10, and the rest with zero or 2.

Glad people are realizing how poor GTJ is as a player overall. Sure he may look great when on a hot streak or hitting buzzer beaters, but taking bad shots and playing poor defense is not a Raptors type of player

Put Hood in that list too. Him, Baynes, and Scrubley Johnson are definitely out of the NBA next year.

When Trent is bad, he is really bad, and it's obvious when that is the case. He just doesn't seem to have a lot of intangibles to his game. I'm not liking the idea of giving him more than $15 million per year this offseason.

Powell had to be sold off at the trade deadline because it looked like he was in line for a big payday, but as an increasingly skilled scorer who got the Raptors damn near 20 PPG on 64.5% TS and was scoring on such superb efficiency with or without the ball, he was more valuable to this team than people realized. He also became a far better pick-and-roll player and pull-up three-point shooter with the Raptors this season, which made him much more potent.

Thankfully, we have Jalen Harris, who seems to be a suitable Powell replacement and might be a better passer than Powell too. Can't wait to see how Harris pans out eventually.

Jalen Harris drives into the paint reminded me of Norm. Jalen has way smoother 3pt shot than Norm though.

We should try getting Jalen Harris on the Norm extension.

Gary Trent Jr's bricklaying is very concerning.

IMO the Raptor's can ill afford to have two starting guards (FVV the other) that are so inefficient at scoring the ball.

If the Raps can somehow snag one of Cunningham or Green or Suggs in the draft....the FO should let Trent walk this offseason.

After this 19 point loss, our season point differential is now negative.
