Look at the difference just having any big body has on the lineup. We looked like a joke against Dallas but insert Castleton and we look like an NBA team again lol.

The quality of the opposing bigs is probably more of a factor. Lol
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

That's actually crazy. I had not noticed that.

The most unrealistic category is points.

I wasn't sure how to answer the poll question about how the Raptors "faired" so I voted how I thought they fared instead.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Is it just me, or are they introducing the tv viewer to the third row coaches for the first time in game 82.

Darko was the right hire. These guys have developed spectacularly.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Battle at this point probably attracts more gravity with his shooting than Gradey does. He gets up more volume because he has such a quick release and can hit contested ones. Only advantage Gradey really has is his ability to attack closeouts.

I know it's hard to take performances in these games seriously but Mogbo's playmaking the last 4 games has really flashed. If he can just improve his off ball finishing, there's definitely a role for him in the rotation next season.

This is what happens when you call all those pointless timeouts but then don't have enough when you actually need them. Remember this for next year when it matters lol
