Game Thread (12/26) - Raptors vs. Wizards [7pm EST]

[Zeno]

That was one of the most leisurely fast break coast to coast dunks I’ve ever seen.

[Boogie!]

Well they let him get into a rhythm offensively last year.

When we didn't care about wins.

Now that we do, we can't afford to let him just keep shooting like ****

They should trade him to a team that will use him appropriately. It's clear that this team is unwilling to use him as the offensive weapon that he is.

Finally you say something that makes sense. Don’t care what his potential is, trading him is the best move. I’ll bet money he never amounts to anything regardless.

[Tha Cynic]

These last two games I have seen Quickley and Barnes work together on offense more than they have any time before that since IQ got here

[MonkBatter42]

Stop playing Dick ffs... go to the G League to show you can shoot or go to Europe

Dude has done.nothong to deserve the minutes he gets. Should have never extended him.......just cut bait.

lmao he averaged almost 15 a game last season. In what world is he not getting his 4th year option picked up?

He got off to a great start last season (I want to say first 15-18 games) and then fell off a cliff. He's still in free fall.

[Tor_Raps]

What's annoying is Gradey is actually playing well otherwise.

Hes finally become a better defender and hustles his ass off but he cant do the main thing he was drafted for...

They were tanking and force feeding him minutes and shots. He wasn't good 75% of last season either.

Come on.

He isn't even a Duck Hunt gun let alone an actual weapon

[Tha Cynic]

No he’s not. He looks like a high school player on an NBa floor. Can’t move, can’t dribble, can’t jump and can’t shoot

He'll probably bounce around the league like Delon Wright.

[junot111]

He is quite a bit worse than Precious.

Which is just horrendous lol

Once you realize he was drafted because he’s Scottie’s friend, you don’t feel any better but it’s less confusing.

Scottie is not Giannis lol. He was due to sign a rookie max, I doubt drafting Mogbo made any difference in the team's relationship with him. The FO is just obsessed with players that fit their wingspan+stocks algorithm and don't care about the optics of their draft position and what other prospects are available. When it works, it appears genius, but when it fails then it's easy to criticize because of how they ignored conventional wisdom

So many players can average points when they’re forced shots on **** teams. Dicks skillset is so limited I’m unsure what people are watching in terms of his potential.

What confuses me about Darko is instead of playing battle instead of dick, he plays him around dick and Walter… Darko is nuts

[MonkBatter42]

We have the worst collection of guards and wings.

Does it matter? Every team is picking his option up.

[Basketball_Jones]

Seems like they’re going after Battle a bit here

[Tha Cynic]

Battle is getting torched on defense. We’ll have to live with it but you can’t have Dick also on the floor at the same time time

[dandaman]

Grady Dick has gotten worst every season. We need a serious overhaul of our development staff and bring someone else in to run it. None of our players have progressed and I worry what they’re going to do to CMB who’s already afraid to look at the rim and basically never drives - all things he did in college

My sentiments precisely... CMB was taking it strong to the rim in summer league and preseason and now he is just looking to pass because Darks philosophy is rookies should just focus on defense and rebounding

13 game Dick.

Grady has been so so bad, what's up with this guy?

Who cares, it’s not even worth discussing at this point. He either should just be benched or traded, the fact that we have to keep discussing his issues is the problem. He shouldn’t be on the floor to discuss. Just play some other guys so we can talk about other ****.

I think it's disappointing because most of us thought Grady would breakout and make RJ expendable, but he's so far away from being a 3/4th option that it's sad to see.

Completely irrelevant to whether he should have gotten his option picked up or not, every team would have.

[LoveMyRaps]

How long does Darko intend on keeping Dick & Walter in the game?
