Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread
The Toronto Raptors defeated arguably the best team in the league, nipping the Eastern Conference leading Chicago Bulls, moving into 1st place in the Atlantic Division. This was a back and forth contest featuring 40 lead changes, 22 ties, and with no team leading by a margin larger than 6 points. Toronto now occupies the 4th seed in the East.
Trae Young continues to make an impact on his new team, notching a double-double, which was crucial with Rudy Gobert again mired deep in depths of foul trouble. However, the Raptors would score 34 points in the 4th quarter to deliver the victory in crunch time.

Jackson played 7 minutes and fouled out.
Giannis shot more free throws than my entire team.
With all that we only lost by 8, just gotta chalk this one up as one of those "sim" games.
Draymond Green (16pts, 7rebs, 2ast, 2blk) holds Michael Porter Jr. to just 6 points and 0-3 from downtown in his debut with the Jazz.
What the people saw...
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.

Bounced back with a good win against the Thunder, always nice to get a division win.

Yeah, balance been my best friend. But wanted to try Grind against you and Melo. Already thinking about what will and won't work in the playoffs.

Hope he kicks ass for you.
I remember you liked Jontay. But hold up, you just reminded me I could’ve been the one to draft SGA. I ended up with Sexton and Knox with my two picks.

Have you seen what Sexton is doing lately???
Iirc you weren't high on him anyway though. Or in any event liked Sexton better. I was almost thwarted by mpharris who picked Lonnie Walker instead and then retaliated by going on a mad rampage through the league. Never piss off The Accountant.

Yup, I remember doing the deal with you cuz I informed you I had no intention of selected SGA. I blame mpharris, cuz his affinity for Frank made me fearful of that comp when it came to SGA!
And yeah, Sexton has been doing very well. I wouldn’t be mad at all if the Knicks can acquire him. But Ainge…
