Walsh in before Tillman.
Tillman must be slacking in Practice?

Uncharted territory.

Since 2018, we've been dying for Banner 18.

Now that it's mission accomplished, it feels different.

Jamal Shead, the Raptors backup PG, is a dawwwggg. Dude is like a mini Marcus Smart. I like his game even if he don’t shoot it. He also grew up in my hometown and so I’m rooting for him.

Your expectations are too high. Team is statistically neck and neck with last years pace. And that’s without KP

I noticed this too but didn't really know how to describe it. It seems to manifest itself on the court in less ball sharing and more ISO crap. Body language isn't bad in any way but isn't as good as last year's either.

Or maybe I'm just splitting hairs.

Raps don’t even have anyone besides Barrett and Dick. And we’re still somehow struggling to get separation.

playing with an edge is missing and we are settling for 3s way too often..

Not having KP is just a terrible excuse since we have had huge talent advantages even without KP.
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Cs really have a soft schedule first two months. My hope is we do step up our game once we play the better teams.
