Anxiously awaiting his return. Seeing Thibs use the bench early tonight really gave me some hope that the bench will come together and, Mitch will definitely get minutes once he returns.
The deadline is 12 days away. Mitch is on the horizon. The team didn't spiral to far after that win streak went south. We can still improve as a team and make some serious noise in the back end of this season and in the playoffs.
My hope is that they're cardio gets stronger. I dont think teams practice the way they use to. Ofcourse the Thibs minutes
has an effect but I sense there not in optimum shape yet- could be wrong just a feeling...
There are 4 teams in the nba with more wins than us. Those teams have 36-36-32 and 31 wins. I knew our team would have a top record even without Mitch but I didnt think we'd be 2 gaes out of 3rd place and 6 out of first. Mitch will have an effect- the degree I can't call but I wouldn't surprised if it propells us...

I don't think OG is fulfilled being the 4th or 5th option on a team
He has been that on every roster he has been a part of his entire career
He says some of the right things, like when he talks about "inserting himself" into the game and being aggressive
when Josh mentioned agendas a while back, I do wonder if he OG was part of that
OG already has a ring with the Raptors, though he didn't play in a single playoff game to win it
He has only averaged over 17 ppg just once in his career
He wants more than just making $40 million a year, playing defense, and 13 shots a game
keep an eye on the OG situation this season and next season
I think he's a candidate to get traded next year, as good as he is defensively and in general

I think Hart was definitely referring to OG.
He already complained about touches in Toronto, and according to some, he asked for a bigger contract because he was unhappy the Knicks acquired Mikal.

I have no doubt Og will eventually be traded for that 3rd true star if this team underachieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Payne is no different than any other season, he’s 30 now and shooting like he always has. Don’t see what negative impact coach has had on him.

It was very obvious for a stretch he was playing spooked out there.
