It’s also far from mid. A one game sample size and it’s still a 55TS%. He hits one more 3 and it’s at 62% ffs


mid = mediocre

I bet many PGs can put up those stats as a starting PG as the first option

Doubt i, or else most PGs would.

Yet again this board severely underrates protecting the ball. If he had 3 more turnovers and 3 less shot attempts suddenly he has elite efficiency and you’re happy despite playing worse.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Mid is being nice

Losing to a team that won 9 games all season means our mid players are actually trash, because the pistons are trash

Losing to trash makes you trash

Noone is a clear standout from the group from what ive seen in the 4th

Really? You don’t think us having 4/5 starters out matters?


I didnt say the team as whole is trash

I said the players on the court is trash as they lost to a 9 win team, well 10 win team now, with 2 of those wins against us.

So because 1 starter can't get a win against an NBA team, he's then trash?

Bold statements from someone who didn't watch the game but came to complain.

You didn't answer their question.

Were you seriously expecting us to win when...
-4 of our 5 starters were out
-We have no size aside from Kelly and Porter, neither of whom are great rim protectors
-We were/are missing bench players like Boucher

We could have made a play-in push if Scottie and Poeltl were healthy


We were like 4 games back of the play in when they were healthy and only won 3 games in a row once.

What were you expecting? Thought he was poor man maxey? How did he do against the Knicks last night? 17/2/4? Guess maxey is below average then

23/5/7 on 18 shots. Far from mid :lol:


23 points on 18 shots is nothing to write home about

Raptors fans too often overrate our guys. Its either bad or "great". IQ was average or just above it aka mid

I expected to see Quickley go off and to see a more special performance from the rest of the team

Kinda like how Duren has 20/20 even tho his team sucks

Why does Maxey not simply carry his team when they're missing their best player? Is he stupid?

I know eh, guess having an MVP changes everything plus playing with James harden for a while helps huh. IQ with hield/oubre/harris shouldn’t be putting 79 points against the Knicks

You expected Quickley, after coming back from an injury/was a late removal from the injury list, to go off the night of his return with no reacclimating or consideration that he'd be guarded like the 1st option?

8 for 19, not even a double double as the best player on your team with offensive freedom

Mid

Some fans just like to defend the guys and argue just to argue.

Quickly Kelly and maybe Dick are MID and I'm being generous

Rest are Trash and will be off the team or even out of the league in the near future

Ask yourself if the other guys would play meaningful minutes on a playoff team. if the answer is no then they are MID

Mid aka MEDIOCRE, for the even older folks on there than myself
