He’d be perfect for the Warriors. Its just that GP2 is taking that role for them right now.

Doesn't the 2nd unit lack enough skill as it is? Unless we're putting Paul Reed out there with like Kelly Olynyk, he's gotta play the 5 primarily.

Feel like a Jo doo doo mode moment or two incoming

Prove me wrong big fella…. Let Maxey close

That's was a nice move by Maxey and the layup over korver would of been an and1 if that was lillard.

Maxey's speed gives this raptors team trouble.

Forget about Soften. No need for his ballhogging ways to stifle Maxey anymore.

Grab the ball, Embiid.

Man what a Dick!

Oubre's offball game is nice.

Embiid is trash in the clutch.

Embiid rebound the f*king ball your 7ft

Having someone who can cut and finish around the rim makes a lot of difference. Its was too clogged outside the paint

He's done a great job finding ways to contribute even though his 3PT isn't falling tonight.

OUBRE AGAIN WITH THE BACKDOOR CUT!!!!!

And it was my mistake. Corrected it now with the bolded part

Barnes got away with two pushoffs on the same drive. Refs suck.

Mik317 · Post #178 » by **Mik317** » Sun Oct 29, 2023 1:42 am

Embiid is frustrating because he’s so good but then plays like I took control over his body for possessions lol

Kobblehead · Post #179 » by **Kobblehead** » Sun Oct 29, 2023 1:42 am

Credit where it's due, Nurse seems to have pulled Tucker here down the stretch.

He better not be back on the court after this timeout.

Nurse should let Maxey close this game
