Sure Bane is a great shooter but he has short wingspan, so we just couldn't take him.

meanwhile we are dying for 3 point shooting
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Leo is 1000 percent better than Alvin.. and we need to clean house with devlin also.

19/7/2/3/4 on 50% shooting.

This growth from Scottie means a lot more to me than wins and losses this year

If that means a lot to you then I'd hate to tell you where his growth would have been by now if we didn't have the Rudy Gay and Ricky Davis combo with Siakam and Fred.

What an eyesore of a team, injuries or not. The only positive now is potentially getting another high draft pick to pair along scottie for the future.

Bet on yourself ladies and gentlemen
How well did the rest of the team shoot tonight? 30/78 (38%) which includes a late on-slaught from Scottie and Siakam where they went 7/12.

How well did the rest of the team shoot against the Celtics? 27/77 (35%)

How well did the rest of the team shoot against the Pacers? 27/68 (40%)

Give FVV some players to pass to that can actually hit wide open shots and layups and he'd be averaging more than 3.3 assists over a 3-game sample size. You are ridiculous lol

Somehow Scottie is averaging the same amount of assists of the past 3 games with far less time on the ball

But yeah just blame the rest of the team for Fred being unable to run an offense

Alvin is quickly improving, and Devlin is untouchable.

To say he’s missing Leo. Wow. What an absolute burn on Alvin.


Does anybody like Alvin over Leo?

I'd imagine most people would rather listen to that screaming child on that broadcast then listen to Alvin talk

Maybe too harsh on the kid, but it’s disgusting how much better Bane is than Malachi. Masai and co. dropped the ball there for sure.

If some guys are just not going to move out of the way for team success just trade them. There re at least 4 or 5 guys who feel more entitled to do as they want with the ball than we need on this team. Just because we need scoring does not mean you have to take on the other team on your own. Kyle used to be able to single handedly take over a game, but no one we currently have should try and emulate that. FVV's job at this point should be to get assists and sneak in some easy buckets and three pointers. Someone needs to pull him over and tell him that he's not making the all-star team. I know he stills believes he can, but he needs to hear it.

When the pressure is on, pass the ball. Just keep looking for that next pass. Eventually you'll get buckets from where you don't expect them. I seriously wonder about Nurse. He's not getting anything out of what he has. His "genius" was probably a reflection of Lowry's genius. You kinda wonder if the players respect his no organized offense at this point.

I like Alvin but he's not that interesting or compelling to listen to. His go to bag is praise the other team or harp on "This is FVV and Pascal's team"

The only game that we really should have won was the Pistons game. You can say that injuries have made it really difficult for the rest of them. Raptors are a top-heavy team. Without three key rotation players, they are not going to survive.



:lol: they are a top heavy team where none of the starters are top 5 in their position.


lmao exactly.
