I wish we had Badrick Badderson would've helped us more than Congo Bargs last night tbh.

Badbrick and Congo Bargs are quite similar.

whats the record for most posts by a single user in a GT?

I might have to have a big day tomorrow. Today has been a disappointment, Jessica Jones has me hooked the last few episodes so I had some serious downtime there.

I swear CDN and RaptorsLife have had GTs where they've posted 500 times. You're facing an uphill battle man. If you get to 500+ posts, it'll be like LeBron winning the ship in 2007, with that trash Cavs team. HO MAN

I think my most was like ~350

[dukes_wild]

im going for 400

Serge is playing like trash at the moment but I fully expect him to go ham in the playoffs for us. He will prove his worth in the playoffs mark my words.

He was a beast for us in the playoffs last year, Idk why this year would be an different. We just have to make sure he gets enough of his rest days before the playoffs.

Dont forget, he injured his ankle in game 2 of the bucks series but was still lethal. I'm just praying for a full healthy squad in the playoffs for the first time

Spend 10 minutes listening to these idiots. My head legitimately hurts and they make a fortune spouting nonsense.

Raps have pulled in fairly decent National TV numbers for all their nationally televised games this year. Idk why people still think the raps would draw low ratings in the playoffs

Trading away Ibaka definitely won't set us back any amount of years LOL he is flaming trash. Sam Presti knew this and sent him away for guys who he then flipped for an All Star, Paul frickin George, a year later. Hell, even Rob Hennigan who trashed Orlando Magic for years with his horrible GMing, knew Ibaka was terrible, and somehow got a late first round pick for him.

It will cost Masai at least five more first round picks to remove Ibaka's tragic atrocity of a botched abortion of a garbage landfill of a contract off this sacred, otherwise-pristine young roster. All of those shipped-out picks will turn into young stud draft steal Rookie of the Year candidates like Kyle Alexander Kuzma, he who Masai missed out on so he could acquire the $20 million man of stone from the ruins of Orlando in the hopes of fortifying the sputtering freefalling Raptors for their next great playoff run.

Ibricka aka Rudy Bargnani aka DeSerge Carroll is a Slow footed, glorified 7 foot swingman "shooting" guard who can't make a shot because he loves to throw up the ball whenever it goes into his hands, compromising the very ball movement that we want from our team. He has no offensive game outside of catching and shooting, and occasionally fighting the other team's players when the Raptors are losing, or driving to the rim to dunk, before he's suspended or ruled out the next game with knee soreness, giving everyone a temporary sigh of relief knowing that we don't have to relive the awful DeMarre Carroll era and watch him chuck up wide open bricks on the next Raptors game.

As a so-called "defensive anchor" Ibaka sucks donkey balls. (He certainly does not hold a candle next to The Donkey from GSW as a defensive anchor, or overall player in general, nor will he ever after this point in time.) His only saving grace on defense is somehow being able to sporadically block random shots like Giannis Antetokounmpo dunks to send Raptors games into overtime, allowing DeMar to reach a franchise-high 52 points to compensate for the fact that Ibaka couldn't hit the ocean that night.

On the perimeter, Ibaka gets blown by, which leaves the paint exposed for easy layups, dunks, and mid-range shots that are nothing but net. He fouls on close outs or gets shots drilled in his face anyway despite putting his hand up. Sometimes even both! There are rare occasions where he will stand there waving his arms around pretending to play defense while a "shooter" (read: LeBron ****ing James) does his free throw routine behind the three point line and then drills a shot in his face. He's no better in the post, he will get overpowered by bigger and stronger players who then beat him there knowing he's too slow to keep up.

Ibaka's rebounding "ability" is mediocre at best thanks mostly to his buttery slippery hands of stone and his inability to position himself intelligently, giving up easy offensive rebounds and forcing our young team as well as old man Kyle to work that much harder to stay in the game. His rebounding inability turns winnable games like Minnesota and San Antonio into close, embarrassing, heartbreaking losses that leave us wondering if the Raptors are truly capable of contending in the playoffs.

It is a testament to the rest of the Raptors roster that they are able to perform at a high level and reach a 32-15 record, in spite of the negative contributions of the grossly overpaid dead weight player Serge Ibaka. I will never forget the San Antonio game where he started an altercation with LaMarcus Aldridge while the Raptors were losing, only for him to be fouled out on a nasty move. I will never forget the Denver game where he got posted up by Paul Millsap, chucked up all kinds of bad bricks beyond the arc, and fouled Millsap on two three pointers en route to Millsap's 19 points in the first quarter, to keep the Raptors out of the game. I will never forget when he made zero difference in the playoffs against LeBron's Cavaliers, as Kevin Love and Channing Frye and others did what they wanted as they pleased for three straight games, embarrassing the Raptors and pissing away any goodwill they built up from their ECF run the year before.

Ibaka is still a unicorn, just not in the way you would expect. Has there ever been a player on the Raptors, or in this league even, who is too slow to guard forwards, too small to guard centers, and too low-IQ to do anything worthy of staying on the court? He needs to pack his bags and leave Toronto for another NBA team if this Raptors team truly wants to improve and be better.
