More than ok, accepted as an inevitability. Is he playing alongside ant in minny or garland in Cleveland
If we trade for KAT we deserve to lose.

Amid all the losses, I'm extremely happy with Deuce and I'm still very optimistic as long as OG is healthy. I think they just lost momentum with OG in and out, and Mitch in and out, both working to their top game shape, but I can see the guys are collectively working it out and I think they will figure it out just in time before the 'offs.

He’s out of shape. It’s hard for a big man to maintain conditioning coming off of a foot injury. He needs to run during the off days until the playoffs

- Burks. what does he have to do at this point to lose his rotation spot? throw it in the own basket? I've never seen a 9th-10th man that plays less than 10 minutes killing his own team like he does.

I think Raptors fans have told this board OG takes a game or two to get up to speed after injury return. I've seen that. But in the two game return out west he seemed to hit the ground running. I think next game he'll be full go, and going forward. And with Hart playing again the lineup should be solid heading to playoffs. And Mitch keeps improving hopefully.
One thing is, Divo, Hart, Deuce all may come up with 20+ points in a given game but you never know for sure. We're missing a reliable second scorer to go with Jalen. But for this year it will just have to be scoring by committee by those three guys plus OG and Bogey.

Evan hasn’t scored in 2 games and Grimes is done for the season. How exactly could they have helped?

Right now we got Orlando first round which I think is the better matchup for us in comparison to the other 2. Just gotta secure home court.

Aside from that - I just hate the fact that it feels like other teams go into the playoffs either healthy or well rested. Brunson is probably already burnt out, J Hart had knee issues months ago and has been playing 40min on the reg. Mitch isn’t in game shape. OG needs time to ramp up. iHart has been falling awkwardly every other game. DDV never played this much in his life. Precious had the worst timing of coming back to earth. McBride looks like the only one whose legs are fresh.
We have 5 more games to go and it feels like we are going to be limping into the post season.
