Weird how this keeps happening:

Gradey +14, misses his shots
Walter -20, makes his shots

Gradey +88 on season
Walter -122 on season
A 210 swing is crazy considering they also play lots of minutes together.

Theyre role players playing with a different combination of players every night with different minutes, depending on who's hot, including garbage time. This stat is all noise

Walter played with the starters though and they all had terrible on/off numbers.

Darko's obsession with Gradey is comical at this point.

His +/- is very misleading. He's an awful NBA player.

Scottie, RJ, and Ingram injured.

This team is about to enter freefall mode.

Crazy you can see Ingram wincing in pain for RJ as soon as he went down:

Read on Twitter


PTSD for Ingram who sustained a similar ankle injury last season in that exact same spot on the court.

Alijah Martin is a significantly better basketball player than Gradey Dick.

If Darko's a development coach. Well then it appears he's still developing.

Alijah Martin looked pretty nice out there. Mogbo and Gradey both had their moments. JKW. Shead, CMB. Battle with the play just for him executed with the help of Mr Dick. Lawson missed two threes off the bat that were good looks. Keep the pick this draft unless a can't say no offer comes around. Maybe they can still draft after all. Got to play the long game drafting.

Rolling an ankle to the outside? Probably could have come back after a few minutes if so or worst case 1-2 weeks if it was really bad.


High ankle sprain could be 1-2 mths



that's why I said to the outside and not to the front or in a rotational manner.

Looks like it is a normal inversion sprain and shouldn't be too serious however it does concern me how much forward momentum he had and if his ankle started to roll to the front at all. Don't think so, but almost need a slo mo replay to rule out if high ankle is possible.

You don't enjoy watching players that are competitive & play hard?

For me, its not about the NBA. Its about watching people compete. In all levels of basketball and all levels of sports.

There is an appreciation for guys that work hard & give it everything they have.......regardless of skill. It shows character.

I have that same appreciation whether I am watching a high school game, college game, the olympics, Euroleague, NBA.......whatever.


Gradey is giving it his all. Competing to the best of his abilities. Do you appreciate that? : )

I thought people on here were down playing Brown. Taking stats too seriously. You got to trust your eyes. I wouldn't mind Brown as a Raptor at all.

What obsession? He’s fallen out of favour this season anyone can see that.

I did the right thing and did not watch. I refuse to watch all Saltics games, they do nothing but spam 3s. It's not a style of basketball that I like to watch.

And they do nothing but crush us. Even without Tatum. Even with their no name draft picks who turn out to be good. Sign of an organization who is on a whole other level than the raptors.
