I have Bell Fiber 3 GB TV/Internet & Amazon Prime & I can't find it anywhere!
(looking for a legit option/way to watch it).

It wasn't on Rogers or League Pass either

That was a brutal game from him, for sure. And he totally killed their comeback.

Yeah, Jalen Johnson shouldn’t have deferred to him for those last possessions. This team is yours, you’re the best player now. Trae might be your OG for the last few years but you’ve outgrown him.

JJ has become something quite special, for sure. And Trae... he just has so little as a scorer when the 3 isn't falling, and he made some sloppy plays around his good stuff. If he could commit more to the low-volume scorer, high-volume playmaker archetype, he'd be much better off at this point.

When he's healthy, he's always been an excellent defender and a sound player. We miss him on our roster, for sure.

Yeah Hawks on a 6 game losing streak since Trae came back is clearly not a coincidence. I'd be very shocked if he makes it past the trade deadline

Ive had a lot of draft misses but I was super high on Keyonte and the Jazz basically did what I was saying about turning him into a point guard to offset his defense and chucking. But I knew he was the type of player the Raptors would never draft unfortunately

watching teams like minnesota, denver, sa lose to bkn, orlando, utah in the same day makes it easier to downplay the loss yesterday.

That’s why it’s funny to read all the overreactions. I mean I get it, we primarily follow the Raptors and the Raptors only. But we also need to pay attention to what is going on around the league.

We are 18-14. We are fine.

Still unfortunately went from the 4th seed to the 5th cause Orlando won tonight.

We need to win these next 2 games otherwise there’s a good chance we fall to the play in spots.

Nets are winning a lot more games than they probably would like. They will need to make some moves if they want to compete for the Tankathon.

IQ, Ochai and Gradey works for him lol

I would not add draft capital other than a SRP or 2 and the fit isn't perfect with his horrid D but it's a talent upgrade nonetheless. I obviously wouldn't extend him either though, it's not the worst situation if he even declined his player option but I think that's unlikely. Not sure what the Hawks will do with him at this point, he is clearly not a fit for them but he's also not really a fit anywhere else either.

Produces better with more minutes. Like a lot of players.
