(Grizz Vs Orlando). I don't want to pirate it.

I can't seem to find Knicks GSW either. Same reason? I have Rogers and League Pass, not there. Open Prime and there's only hockey. Is it not on in Canada?

The league pass channel for the warriors switched over the the Lakers around 10pm lmao

I'm getting tortured by all the guys I liked in the draft

Jaylon Tyson scored 39 points. The guy is killing it this year, 48% from 3 what the ****? But we’re here acting like certain players of ours just need a bigger role.

Another guy who plays with an edge (an older prospects). Great mentality, attitude, and character.

It’s still early, but Kyshawn George has been playing very well.

Mgmt has been making too many mistakes. Their player evaluation, both in the draft and in trades has been lacking since the championship.

Yep. This should be a bigger discussion topic. And it's not like the missed players in draft were obscure or surprises either.

Wanted Yaxel Lendeborg last year before he transferred and decided to wait a year. Quality NBA ready prospect.

I can’t really criticize the contracts (overpays and player options) cause its Toronto, Canada.

You mentioned patience on another post, and in hindsight that was the right approach.

The loss of key personnel to higher positions elsewhere may have contributed to the drop-off in decision-making.
The scouting department could benefit from a fresh perspective. Bringing in someone from an organization like Houston or OKC could help.

Since the Raptors aren’t major players in FA, they almost have to be near-perfect with their trades and draft selections. Thankfully, BI and RJ have stepped up, especially with Poeltl and IQ having down years.

Hawks down 43 to start the 4th Q.

Pacers down 44 in the 3rd

Ouch

Caleb Love went undrafted. Never overpay non elite guards.

Kon has also been great for Charlotte. Gradey needs to take notes.

East playoff race is gonna be tight till the very last day

Detroit seems to be the only lock

The Hawks are doing their best Raptors impression. 0/20 from 3.

East Starters: Cade, Giannis, Maxey, Brown, Brunson

Outside of Donovan Mitchell, I genuinely don't see a player who is absolutely deserving of an All-Star spot. As in, if you put that same player in the West, would they make the ASG?

West Starters: SGA, Wembanyama, Jokic, Luka, Curry

Edwards, Durant, Sengun, Booker, and Murray are all ahead (for me) of any East All-Star.

East vs West would have been a bloodbath

OKC/CLE game has started out pretty nicely.

They have no incentive to play him right now while they jockey for position in the upcoming draft, I imagine.
