GG Brooklyn. I'm kinda happy my team fought a tough one, a month ago that would have been a 20 point blowout.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
The Toronto Raptors beat the Miami Heat for a 117-109 home win at Scotiabank Arena. It was a game in which they led by as many as 17 points.
Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert were standout performers, as six Raptors scored in double-figures, and the bench trio of Michael Porter Jr., Lu Dort, and Collin Sexton combined for 53 points. Toronto continues to thrive offensively with a diversified attack.
Toronto’s record improves to 39-10, leading the Atlantic Division and maintaining 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. The Raptors are winners of 11 straight games overall (and 15 out of their last 16). They’re also the only undefeated team in the league at home, with a perfect 23-0 record.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread
So apparently Danny Ainge had no idea he was signing off on a deal that would facilitate Doncic to LA. He only knew about his portion of the deal. I had no idea the league actually operates this way.
What I'm saying is Rob Pelinka is basically out there moving like 2010

Can’t blame them. If you told Ainge what was going on, he’d ask for 2 1st rounders
