Toronto's a solid team, but we've got home court advantage so I'm gonna take the Suns in this one.

lol

Also definitely going to keep an eye on Terrence Davis and Chris Boucher. I'd love to find a clever trade for those two players somehow. I think they're immensely underrated. And I know that Toronto has their eyes heavily on the hope of creating max cap space for the Giannis sweepstakes. I believe you mentioned Chris Boucher a while back man! Great find by the way. Keen eye for talent. :wink:

My hope would be to somehow pry those two IF POSSIBLE from them before Lowry leaves. As right now on there depth chart, Davis is listed at 2nd and can fleet 3rd. But really, I'd have Van Vleet 2nd behind Lowry, And Davis 3rd. And Boucher is listed as their 4th string 4, and 3rd string backup center. So IF Vassell were off the board at 10 when we pick, Would/ should we consider trading the 10 to Toronto for the Davis/ Boucher/ their 28th pick? Maybe they even keep their pick IF needed to get the deal done. I figure since we can likely purchase one or two as needed this draft. :wink:

Read on Twitter

It's gonna be tough to stay in the game against a healthy Raptors team without Baynes, Oubre and Saric.

I don't care about wins and losses in scrimmages, but it would be great to watch a competitive game today.

Ayton is gonna face Ibaka, Marc Gasol and Siakam. It's gonna be interesting.

Cam's shooting is a thing of beauty.

Much better energy and effort to start! Ayton does need to be more assertive though, And dump the finesse play a bit.Start Dominayton! :wink:

Also, Bridges is awesome!

It's becoming pretty clear that the Suns starters are pretty fricking good. If I was Jones, I would primarily be working on getting a nice bench figured out for next season. That's usually where the struggles start.

Diallo has been pretty bad in the restart so far. That missed dunk was pretty embarrassing.

Ok Cam Payne is horrible.

Starters look superb. Cam Johnson looks so much stronger and more confident.

Desperately need to add some better bench players on this roster though.

He can’t seem to catch anything without fumbling.

I really like what I am seeing from our starters. Makes you wonder about Oubres fit in the starting lineup.

That was such a great first quarter until the subs came in. Cam just seems like such a natural fit next to Ayton at the 4.

I love Mikal Bridges

BRIDGES!!!!!!

Crives · Post #15 » by **Crives** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:48 pm

Mikal Bridges turning into our best player would be pretty awesome

Saberestar · Post #16 » by **Saberestar** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:48 pm

We have a GREAT one in Mikal. What a sequence!!!!

grumpysaddle · Post #17 » by **grumpysaddle** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:53 pm

Bridges looks like he's blossoming during these bubble games. I <3 him.

Saberestar · Post #18 » by **Saberestar** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:57 pm

20 points in the first half.

Keep it up Mikal!

bigfoot · Post #19 » by **bigfoot** » Tue Jul 28, 2020 7:57 pm

Yeah, I think Bridges makes an all-star team before Ayton. He's beasting so far on both ends of the court.

Really Oubre would be an awesome 6th man. Really!! We need the scoring punch and energy he would bring. He would still get 30+ minutes a game as an elite 6th man.
