If u had ur pick of players to make a 10 man roster by selecting from the Raptors and hawks, do you think you can field a championship team?

On NBA TV postgame Brendan Haywood says he's the best guard in the league, Grant Hill said 1 and 1A with Luka.

It's amazing how our Canadian guy has passed Trae, Ja and the other rising guards of just a few years ago.

Thunder looked great last night too, Chet, Dort, others. Pascal or OG might put them over the top

Not if Masai and Bobby are doing the picking.

it’d basically be their guards and our forwards. barnes as point center with young, murray and og for spacing. bogdanovic 6th man. first big off the bench tbd. i think that team would compete with the best of the east, not sure about denver if they’re at the top of their game.

Rozier 42 vs Suns last night. Think what a quick bucket getter guard like him could do for Raps. A bit older than and below the top tier of guards but still effective.

I know it's silly to be picky about a hypothetical but taking the top players from each team wouldn't fit under the cap. But it would be interesting if you picked a 22 or 25 man roster would it have more Hawks or Raptors

Adjust this roster. If Zubac can excel, so can other C's.

Question for the experts here. I've never considered paying for League Pass but saw free preview early this season and was wowed by all the variety of games. But do you have to subscribe to the whole thing or can you just pay for one team's games. Like oh, say, the Knicks for instance?

Flipped to Laker Minny game and Tony Brothers immediately calls a phantom foul on Kat for third foul, early second q. Terrible

Minor NYE rant: TSN and Sportsnet aren’t airing *any* of the 6 games today? Why am I continuing to pay monthly for this crap?

Very interesting.

I just assumed most refs in every sport became refs because they were fans of the game and most likely played growing up. I know a few friends I played with that went somewhat kinda high up with reffing. It was just the progression if you wanted to stay in the sport after you couldn't play competitively anymore.

To see someone say that they wanted to ref because they wanted to have power and the final say. I don't think that's a very good look.

I don't believe there's a team specific option but if the games are being shown here on tv then they're subject to blackouts. So you can't watch raptors games through league pass at all or if the knicks were playing boston on tsn/sportsnet/nba tv you wouldn't be able to watch it through league pass either. But they do still allow you to listen to the radio broadcast if you're into that.

If OG wanted a bigger role on offense, I don't see it happening in New York.

It's just Brunson and Randle taking turns ISOing. They move the ball less than we do.

OG's role will be to stand in the corner and take the 3 if Brunson and Randle can't find a shot.
