The production by OKCs TV crew makes me sad to be a Raptors fan. The camera work is so so much better. You can hear the sound of the crowd and the excitement of the game. The announcers are charismatic.

We get boring and uninspired coverage every game, it's really depressing.

Any reason why GS doesn't play moody?

Everytime I've seen him plays he's looked real solid.

I definitely like him more than kuminga.

he's a bit of a undiscovered gem even though he's getting more minutes this year. i hope we can trade porter and get him back somehow.

Man our team looks like a complete joke compared to this. I hope at some point we catch up to the modern style of basketball. We don't even remotely look in the same league stylistically.

The 27 year old Terrance Mann who was made untouchable by the clippers in deals for VV, Harden among other former allstars, is currently averaging 6 ppg while shooting 39% from the field and 20% from 3.

i agree and sometimes i wonder reading some comments if some ppl only watch raptors games. i mean guaranteed that’s a segment of our fan base.

even the cleveland game where we saw some hope i got disgusted when it just devolved into running up and down the court alternating ugly possessions

He has been bad this year, but I'm sure he'll pick it up eventually. He's been very good in his past few seasons, so there's no reason to think this is the end for him. The reason why the Clippers make him untouchable is because he's the only competent/veteran glue guy left on their roster.

I've said this before, but their front office was right when they refused to trade Mann in a potential package for 3 months of VanVleet. It turns out Kawhi and PG were injured at the end of that season, and so any of their playoff hopes were doomed, meaning VanVleet was not going to help them anyways (and that's before we get into his overall horrible playoff performance). And of course they're not paying $40 million a year to retain him. I would have loved for Masai to get Mann back in a trade for VanVleet (it would have been another fleecing on his part), but the Clippers were smart enough not to do it.

Demar went off as soon as OG sat with two fouls. Knicks board saying he's auditioning

Crazy sequence Knicks missed 4 threes but Hartenstein and OG kept tipping back out. Finally OG picked up the 4th miss and dunked it

-16 in 10 minutes

Knicks bench getting killed, starters are killing it though.

The upgrade of RJ to OG helps the starters
Losing IQ killed their bench

They will be making at least 1 more deal pre deadline

Yeah all that's true. OG is killing it with his D. Their board is talking Rozier, Sexton, Demar. They need on scoring spark guy now then go for a big star in offseason. Unless a big star asks out at the deadline.

Man I didn't pay much attention to Robinson injury at the time except thinking that's sad. But watching them closer now, I can see how much it hurts.

I have to say, the iso ball of Brunson and Randle isn't pretty but it's effective. OG is making the two stars better but he isn't getting the opportunities he might have expected.
