RJ should be back....just in time for the Knicks. Hopefully Barnes gets better because we don't want RJ to look bad against his former team.

They should sit Barnes until he gets healthy.

Don't go there. Remember Scottie rookie season our locker room had a virus that spread

You can’t catch things that quickly. Now depending on the incubation period of the virus, the Knicks have an upcoming three game set against the Wizards twice and then Jazz from 28 to the 1st. If the timing is right, maybe RJ can deliver a few Ws to our rivals a week from now. :lol:
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yes. Play them both 30 minutes each ... rest Barrett and Scottie...

Walter has been a pleasant surprise. I honestly wrote him off considering the 2024 draft was very weak. I'm glad he's already contributing - bodes well.

Don’t write him off

He’s the next Devin Booker

This one will be over by the 4th quarter, although their starters won't be resting because, well, Thibs.

Took a look at their minutes and they continue to be insane. 4 of their starters in the top 12 in minutes played this season, with one of them being one of the most injury prone guys in the league. Surely it can't be just us fans that know how this is going to end?

Somehow the Injury Gods made a rule, that only 2 of the 5 Starters are allowed to play. If Raptors break the rule, one of them gets randomly injured or ill. This season sucks, were are so much better healthy.

Eh, with much better defence. Their bodies and games aren't that similar. But certainly that's a good ceiling to aim for in terms of position and player quality. I don't (yet) see Gradey as a starter on a contender, but I sure do with Walter.

Unpopular opinion: if med staff say Scottie is low risk for reinjury, let him play.
