Yep. That is probably the last great game we see from Lowry here. Hell of a game though.

If you are implying Lowry is gone - yes that is very likely. Unless we trade FVV.



Exactly what I wrote is what I meant.


I would imply anything tends to make things confusing .


Although I do feel like Lowry today played for his free agency and his $25 mill valuation he he


But nah, I meant enjoy this moment, knocking the Lakers into the play in lol

This team would easily be in the playoffs if they hadn't gotten so hosed in the early part of the season before Covid struck.

The Raptors are the last team any of the top teams in the East would want to face if they get in. This team could knock off any of those teams if healthy lol.


That Pelicans game will go down as one of the worst games I’ve ever seen. 28 4th quarter free throws. That’s still messed up.

Wow ... you guys can't even give Siakam credit when he plays well. Just a joke these days.

The FVV trash talk just illustrates how little people really want to even watch, or see.


Siakam is great when he's being set up. He struggles to create for himself.

In regards to Fred, look at all our lineup data with Kyle out and Fred in. Our offense collapses.

Pascal took a nice long dump on my front doorstep after I trashed his performance yesterday. I deserve it.

Let's see if he can continue this against the Clippers. It seems like this guy just can't put it together consistently.

If he plays like he did tonight consistently, that is a great second option on a championship team.

Wizards have a couple of potential losses coming up. Chicago can't win anything.

If we beat the Clippers, oh boy.

I just don't understand your hatred for Fred. He's been our best player all year. He was taking a lot of shots last night because we had nothing else going for us.

He can run an offense just fine. Remember those two games in Milwaukee earlier in the season? Then the game against the Sixers? Those were both without Kyle. Those games featured Pascal and Fred working together.

If you re-signed Kyle, then Fred stays as your shooting guard and Flynn comes off the bench.

Wins when it doesn't count, only the Raptors. Guess try to win all remaining games to have any remote chance.
No More Tanking!

I get where you're coming from, but he was pretty damn consistent from late January to just before the COVID protocols (averaged 23.3/7.1/5.0 on 47% shooting while scoring 20+ in 10 of 14 games) then had a stretch of 3 bad games out of 4 (Miami - break - Detroit, Utah, Cleveland) before putting another really strong stretch together (24.0/7.2/4.5 on 48% shooting while scoring 20+ in 13 of 16 games). Then he had a rough game against the Nets where he barely got any calls followed by fairly passive games against Denver and Utah. A 38-game stretch where he averaged 22/7/4.5 and scored at or above his season average in most of those games (25 of 38) is pretty good.

You will never have a good offensive team with Fred as your starting PG unless he's next to a point forward type. Explain to me why our offense tanks when he's on the floor as the main offensive playmaker?

Kyle walking is way more likely than him staying.

And no, Fred hasn't been our best player. Pascal has been better despite his step back this year. OG has been better as well. Fred is literally shooting under 39% from the floor. Very inefficient scorer.
