No one on that team but Haliburton or McConnell has any point guard or even basic playmaking skills. But thats the case with most NBA teams nowadays. Backup traditional pgs are becoming a lost art.

All of a sudden the average Raptors are looking a lot better :lol:


Just wait until we get a record above. 500, or make the playoffs.

The ending will be, but that first half was beautifully played basketball (especially on defense.) That Hali got hurt (he had 3 3 pters before going out), will make this just another What If Moment which sucks for all.

I know you're upset but even Rick couldn't climb this mountain. It was difficult enough with Hali, it was over once he went down. OKC is just too deep and it was just a matter of time unfortunately.


Maybe but why shoot yourself in the foot like that when you're allready fighting an uphill battle. You just can't play end of bench guys in this environment with everything on the line..

A free throw merchant is going to have a ring. Harden is probably somewhere pissed.

Add obi toppin to the list. No we all wondering “what if” Hali didn’t get hurt

He played a lot of PF on defense for the Bulls but he never got away with stuff like this.

In a Bulls jersey he would have fouled out at the half against Jokic. The man is an incredible defender with some of the best defensive hands you will see but the amount of bumping and holding and swiping they allow him to play with is crazy.

I recall him getting away with plenty though that was against the Raptors
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

FINALLY the Pacers go to Siakam somewhere that isn't the 3-point line.

Doris Burke spot-on.
