well i never needed one before... Other than sometimes wanting to watch the american/canadian netflix there's no real need because HK isn't behind the firewall of china.

No. He'd just take possessions away from more efficient scorers.

derozan is attempting less than half a three pointer per game. Looks like he and pop completely gave up on that part of his game.

I'm not normally the type of guy who likes to say I told you so. I'm much too humble and modest for that.

So far early in the season he has surpassed all expectations and has added new elements into his repertoire. Being a first option has been easier for him than expected getting points with ease. He's become such an amazing facilitator causing so much havoc that he find our guys for easy open looks like Vanvleet. At this rate he's already becoming a better first option for us than Kawhi was last year. Kawhi was kinda a ball stopper and wasn't that good of a playmaker. The brand of basketball we're playing is just beautiful. Another monster night, leading the league now in 30+pt games.

As long as you enjoy the bump in 6 weeks, when he's stablized a bit and still not a top 5 player.

I mean even right now is he a top 5 player? Brandon Ingram is putting up better numbers.

LOL

let the hate flow through you son

MAYBE he wont be a top 5 player this year, but it is officially a maybe and not a definite. The guy has obviously put in a ton of work and made HUGE leaps the past two seasons. I hope he continues his rise because there is the chance eventually (possibly this year) he could be a top 5-10 player in the league, which Raptors fans have to be salivating about.

that's no surprise.. pop hates the 3 point shot.. but his playmaking is up, no? he was a more willing passer as the year before he got traded. havent been following his spurs career.

Mans is currently top 5 in the NBA in scoring. This is not his final form.

offence flow through siakam with derozan on the floor and the lane all clogged for spicy to do his spin move. at this point Norm Powell is better for the offence
