both


Thx. Saw a lot of Ross praises but the box score doesn't look good. Would be nice if some posters could be as forgiving when it comes to our young players lol.


Box score doesn't mean anything really unless it's 0's across the board. Shots he missed weren't bad shots besides one maybe.

I can't honestly say I would have taken him over Dipo with the info we had but I'm SHOCKED that he didn't go top 5 in such a weak draft.

We can't afford to win against the blazers again.

Ross is showing pretty good vision. Has had some really nice passes to Vuc that leads to a foul.

Nice to hear. Love me some good, willing passers.

Aaron Gordon at SF killed this team offensively and it trickled down to the defense.

Tonight has been nice.


Been saying it all year. I was a little enthusiastic and wanted Mario starting at SF, but besides that, this is what I have been waiting to see.

Ross is a great fit. We can run small this year and forge an identity. Than we will have the cap space to sign some guys who fill a need and draft the BPAs.

Fournier is helping the tank, but I still cringe at his plays

Main reason I think was because the "combo guard" tag was looked at as a negative.

This is the thing about Ross, he has the odd game where even though he takes good shots, he misses them and shoots poorly.

On the Raptors, when he had those games he wasn't very useful because his whole job was to shoot and make shots, now he can actually make up for having those poor shooting nights by handling the ball a bit, creating for others and just getting that ball moving. He wasn't able to do that for the Raptors since Lowry/DeRozan hogged the ball.

Be prepared for more of these 1 for 8 shooting nights, but he'll also have nights where he goes like 10 for 14.

Every time I see Evan get stripped I have heat flashes of that Philly game after the McConnell game winner

It is so nice seeing Gordon crash the glass so much. No excuse playing Green so much at PF this season.

Fournier's ball handling is about as good to watch as what comes up if you google his last name.

I personally don't like him how we use him at all, but you'll have others here swearing he's the best thing since sliced bread.

Gordon is either exhausted or just not having fun out there. Seems to be walking through a lot of plays.
