How is Achiuwa hitting NBA 3s and can't hit a single FT. Man needs to take his FTs from further away

Okay so you’re assuming Suggs sits out because he’s scared to play? That’s not hating at all
And yes Green looked really good out there in the first half and has looked like a superstar in every other game.

You sound like you haven’t even watched any of these games and are trying hard to “defend” Scottie’s honour

Dude, it's ok. I wanted Suggs too. But I'm telling you I watched the game and he was garbage until he came out. And that they were getting whooped so bad there was no reason for him to come back in. Just relax a little and let the pick play out. Why are you in such a hurry to bitch and moan and call the guy a bust? You trying to ruin the season for yourself and the rest of us before it even starts?

Raps fans make no sense to me man. 20 years of disappointments (besides the last couple) have made people cynical; like breaking up with a girl before she breaks up with you.

Cade has looked rough for most of pre-season, but Pistons fans all say it's an adjustment, he'll get there.
Mobley has looked rough for most of pre-season and Cavs fans just it'll take time. He needs to get a feel for it
Suggs will have a bad game and it's no biggie to Magic fans. He's a rook. He'll be inconsistent

Barnes will play bad the first quarter of game 1 and Raps fans called him a bust. Almost funny in a tragic way

Raptors fans really building the basketball equivalent of cancel culture. :lol:

I cannot explain why Scottie Barnes didn't even attempt to go for that alley lol

Barnes is probably in the 95th percentile in terms of defense from day 1

Chandan · Post #1445 » by **Chandan** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 2:00 am

i think everyone are just hunting Barnes when he has the ball because he's the #4 pick. You can see how everyone are beelining towards him as soon as he starts to drive. Doesn't help he's totally exhausted since half way into the 3rd.

Wainwright is just sooooo strong.

His defense is honestly legit and will probably stand out more in the NBA when the game is less hectic

He gets his hand on the ball a ton and his length scares jump shooters

Raptors will likely be a lottery team for the next couple seasons

I hope not, spending 3-4 years in the lottery is. Bad look for a franchise that needs to, and has been changing its perception to the league over the last 8 years.

We don’t have the luxury to tank a few years and still be relevant

Precious lowkey better than Pascal

Precious said he wants to be like Kawhi, and I won't go that far, but he has a little Kawhi in him. I'm interested to see what he can do against NBA players.

Post #1454 » by **Duffman100** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 2:00 am

Considering it was a bad game. 5 blocks, 3 assists and a low usage. It wasn't AS bad as people are making it out to be.

Where are all the doofs that hated on Precious?

I think he is scared of getting injured. I have seen players attacking extra hard the first round picks.

Not worried about Barnes. Big young kid.

Scott Hall · Post #1458 » by **Scott Hall** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 2:01 am

Right now Barnes is like the Incredible Hulk defensively and like Bambi offensively

DonDoolie · Post #1459 » by **DonDoolie** » Fri Aug 13, 2021 2:01 am

Barnes pressures full court all game and still plays amazing defence. How wild is that lol dude is a monster on that end
