I don’t mean this to be mean. But how did the Raps have a full rebuild lottery year and the Magic are still… this.

Hachimura looking smooth and jumper is wet, might be starting to put it together I expect bigger things from him the next season

Did the Raps have a full rebuild year? They have pretty much they're same core but had a disappointing season then jumped up in the lottery.

Raptors, unlike dumb teams like the Knicks/Magic/Wizards, took a down season as an opportunity to add a real prospect instead of fighting to get the 11th or 12th pick.

Three of the Raptors starters have championship rings, let's not act like they completely cleaned house here.

Memphis fans have been saying all year how deep the team is but, let's be real ... Suns have missed some bunnies and it's only a matter of time before those start going down.
Still .. not unhappy with whats happened so far.

Sure I get it. FVV and siakam (undrafted and late first). But the rest of the team?

A lot of that core is gone. Fvv, siakam and OG are the only ones that have stayed.

Can appreciate some honesty. Suns playing awful, but that's not to take away from how grizz have played so far in this one

OG was injured but he was with the team and played plenty before and after that year too. It's all about knowing how to win, and those three do.

Not that the turnaround isn't still impressive.

Mcgee really struggling. Think whatever illness he has is still there.

Yeah but Raptors were just a flat out disappointment last year. They weren't trying to rebuild and were supposed to be a playoff team.

Plus those 3 are basically your core you've been using for years now. Just a old Lowry finally got moved.

Siakam is a weird story as well. Went from playing like a All-Star to underperforming and now back to All-Star level.

They were on the road every game in an already different year.

If not for the refs, the Suns would be getting blown out by the Grizzlies bench

Why was Jenkins tossed?

C64 · Post #80 » by **C64** » Sat Apr 2, 2022 12:57 am

Refs going ref in Memphis.
