Mirotic looks like what Bargnani should've been. He looks like a friggin guard pulling up for that 3.

Hmm, that guy looks like he could be good. Did we have any interest in him in the past?

I used to post boxscores of players with career nights and anti-career nights, until work decided to block yahoo entirely. Since I got access again, I'll try to make do.
#Raptors are 7-1. In 6 of the past 10 seasons, a team that has started a season 7-1 has gone on to win an NBA championship.

I missed seeing Kobe nail those sweet sweet fadeaways. I can't wait to see him eat souls this year.

Maybe because we have to cut 2 players, Casey is holding back, but Bruno/Bebe should get some minutes in the next few games, it's just absurd


Reminds me of his idiocy in our 'tanking' years and how he'd opt to ride our starters than see what we had with Bayless and our other players. Complete idiocy...

Minnesota is going to be a fun team to watch, full speed run and dunk

Although Rubio is a turnover machine

He passively has 10 points, 3 rebounds (2 offensive), 2 assists, and a block before the halfway mark of the third?

Beautiful.

EDIT: Wiggins still has to adjust to NBA defenders. He can score in the NBA easily but his one on one needs work. He allows defenders to bother him by not creating enough space, or not recognizing when he has enough to get a shot off.

His defense is already awesome.

****, Wiggins is going to dominate in a couple years. Well, until they ask him to add 40 pounds to play a bit of PF.
