Good God, Precious has been terrible, and you didnt need a chart to see that he also fails the eye test. :noway:

Wow.

Previous really is in his own world.

He's learning, and look forward to watching his improvement as the season goes on.

Then sit down with Dragic and calmly explain "Bitch there is no higher ambition than playing for this organization"

That’s not how you conduct business in the NBA as agents remember.

My man!

I like the Nurse bet much more (and actually placed it earlier tonight!). The reason is if we win the Atlantic, Nurse is virtually guaranteed to win COTY, but we also don't have to win the Atlantic for Nurse to win COTY. If we come in behind Brooklyn or Philly, but outperform our expectations to the tune of say 50 wins, that should be enough (basically what Thibs did last year with the Knicks).

i ended up putting 50 bucks on Nurse as COY but only got 22-1 by the time i got there.
i couldn't resist spending my other 50 bucks on that Raptors championship at 80-1
sure we're a long shot we aren't an 80-1 long shot!
looking forward to my 5 grand payout

While Precious shooting was still poor, he did some better things in that game on defense and passing. When Siakam gets back I would give him minutes over Boucher.

In addition to FVV's scoring, his 6 assists underestimates how well he was carving them up as a playmaker, he looked like CP3.

Current roster has a bench problem but obviously Siakam, Barnes, Watanabe will help, I'd give Dragic another try and maybe throw Dekker and Bonga out there for a few minutes at some point since Flynn and Champagnie Papi should both be G League projects.

As well, ADOBE had a handful of 3 point looks from Senior, but he could not connect. Thus far, Senior has absolutely been carving up opposing defenses and finding the open man. His dime numbers absolutely do not do him justice.

That was fing ridiculous athleticism/play for a "bad" offensive center. Note I'm not really arguing the bad simply by putting it in quotes.

Like you could put the best of siakam or barnes against that play...in fact it probably beats most siakam highlites I'd think.

that's exactly why Toronto is invested in him. If he was just the average athletic bigman he would not even be on this roster.

I think we’ve had a fair schedule so far. Washington was a play in team last year and started out hot. Knicks are projected to be very good this year, also starting hot. Boston is always decent, slow start but will probably be in the playoffs. Bulls are going to be a very good regular season team. Mavs we choked away that one after the first half. Indiana isn’t good, missing Brogdon. But they aren’t exactly a pushover team, also made the playin last year.

3 or 4, it's refreshing to see so many with none anyway.

Harrell turned his head to see a screen coming, not expecting Precious to drive. Caught napping. Usually happens on a backdoor cut by a man without the ball, not a guy with the ball in hand. Good for Precious seeing that.
