What a difference from today's game. In the 90's every possession was like a 24 second battle, players beating up on each other to try and create space for a shot.

Compared to today's game, where they sprint down the court and throw up a shot from anywhere.


What was the 80s, then, in your mind?


Drug/Cocained fueled before and after games I guess :wink:


It is also worth mentioning that there's a large difference between the first half of the 90s and the latter half. People treat the 90s as a discrete identity, and that's quite errant.

SL MVP seems like a stretch but I bet you he has at least one game with a stat line in that range. Should be fun.

Good call though.


90s ball was something else. Ugly but tough.


Don't forget the '92-'96 Knicks with Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley.

Maluach looks terrible lol both him and Sarr. CMB should have more poise and feel for the game. All the bigs we had available didn't have good shots. CMB looks the most developable.

Going up against our defense in practice every day is like iron sharpening iron—CMB’s development is only going to accelerate

Bigger how? Samson Folk said that CMB wasn’t as tall as he expected.

I may be showing my age here but that's also Brendan Malone on the right (raptors first ever head coach)

Was listening to the H&W / RR collaboration special SL podcast and Es mentions that CMB truly wants to plays tomorrow.

I guess we will see and it’s up to the Raps medical staff to decide but CMB wants to plays

Crossing fingers !

First game I want to see him making passes out of the short roll, experimenting with his handle, and exploiting mismatches against guards. Defensively I want him to gradually get more aggressive so he avoids foul trouble. I'd keep him to corner 3s for now too. Him and Chomche should be a defensive force in the GLeague and that should be the goal for year one.

He better impress because Carter Bryant looks like DPOY potential out there. I can see both Bryant and CMB on 1st team all-defense in the future.
