PJ3 doesn't play with effort/heart unlike Barnes.

I know for a fact Kenny Smith sure hasn't lol.

I usually say 2001, but either way those guys do not do their homework. They know lots about the Lakers, Spurs, Thunder, Mavs, Bulls, Heat, Celtics and Knicks, though.

People here go crazy whenever Barnes hits a shot. A lot more Barnes fans here than Jones fans

This is my personal opinion here, so you may not share it, but I'd rather have a player that is talented but needs motivation to put in effort than a player that lacks certain capabilities but is already motivated/playing with effort.

Barkley rides the Raptors at times, but he also openly loves the city. I wouldn't worry about him. Honestly guys... 5 playoffs in 17 seasons we deserve the razzes.

I missed it, did Barkley say Kentucky would beat the Raptors and not the Bobcats? I remember hearing this discussion somewhere before too. Kinda stupid he'd pick on the Raptors when we're not even the worst or second worst team in the NBA.

McAdoo is pulling an Ed Davis (or Marvin Williams?) for UNC coming off the bench.

Are you playing bad?

---------------> Yes

Are you a PG or SF?

---------------> Yes

Game doesn't matter, still the Raptors draft pick

---------------> No

Good, this is a reason not to draft you

Whatever, we don't need that guy anyways, we need a PG or SF

McAdoo is shorter than Robinson but I don't think he looks like he could play the 3 in the NBA or the 4. He looks like a potential college stud at PF, though.

White is showing heart and hustle, I like his effort .

Robinson is looking really good right now, just hit a 3. 11 pts in total.

AirCanada · Post #1372 » by **AirCanada** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:30 pm

I never knew Robinson could connect from three. Lucky shot I would assume.

Wow, T-Rob with the range.

Homer Jay · Post #1374 » by **Homer Jay** » Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:30 pm

It's just a question if someone can get through to PJIII. He can be the next Garnett. He's fast, can put the ball on the floor, hits everything out to 18 feet and the occasional three, and his length could make him a terror inside but he's not there yet..

He's just not for us thou. Maybe a team like Indy might take a gamble on him if he drops.

Give Barnes the f*cking ball.

This game is out of control, but it's entertaining to watch

Lol at they talk about Davis's knee contusion but doesn't care about PJ3's getting hurt hahhaha.

Nice move by T-Rob.

Who do you want the Raptors to select in the 2012 NBA draft?
