PG: Need some Dark(o) Magic (1-2) 

Post#1 » by TheAlchemist23 » Mon Oct 27, 2025 1:58 am

Through 3 games IQ is 2/18 from 3 to start the season

Gradey with only 1 shot before garbage time

BI goes through periods when he doesn't get the ball

Jak looks diminished

Undersized; no backup bigman

Best play of the game today was Darko having Poetl sit at the 3 point line to spread the floor and Dallas just ignored him. He proceeds to then receive the ball, dribble inside and hand it off into a nothing play lol. We need a new starting 5 so badly.

Here's someone no one is talking about: Agbaji. He was a solid and reliable rotation guy for them last season and now he's invisible. Not even his defense looks good.

Xenophobia is alive and well with NBA reffing. We may never win another championship

I'm hoping we can have AI look at how one team is reffed and project how many free throws the other team would get if they were called the same way.

I'm pretty sure the Raotors would be one of the teams in the league with the highest disparity indicating they get hosed the most

We have a snake staff and a necklace that goes round and round. We couldn't possibly stink!

IQ is a 6th man type player, like he was in New York

Even if he’s hitting 3s, he has like none of the intangibles a guy like Lowry had. He isn’t a starting pg on a legit team

Would like to see shead get more meaningful mins in the 4th with the starters, him and Scottie guarding pick n rolls would cause chaos

Even I thought the team would be better this season. But I don't see much difference although it's 1st game I've seen so far and it's only 3 games in. But Charlotte and Washington look better early on than Raps.
