Raptors Discussion: v90| Fighting through the injuries (but not Coronavirus. NBA Suspends season until further notice)

[leafsleafs]

What did Jack say tonight?

Something like “Sometimes you take the wrong turn on to the right road”, when referring to the injuries to Kyle and Serge.

Of course, the big question coming into the season was the Rap’s depth, and if Bench Mob redux can keep this up, and with everyone healthy, they could go ten deep if Nurse so chooses.

And Boucher would be the only on-ball defender among them that will be lost at times.

Gotta love that!

Davis looks amazing. I think he could end up being better than vanvleet. He is a better rebounder/defender.

he is actually showing some really good patience and decision making in the puck and roll. Hope they let him run point some more.

Different type of player. Think moreso a rich man's Norman Powell.

Davis is great insurance in case FVV gets overpaid in the offseason. Ideally, though, FVV takes over for Lowry when he departs as a FA. Davis looks great as a PG and looks to be a classic combo guard.

I hope they keep Lowry. He needs to retire a Raptor. I don’t see why that wouldn’t happen.

Have to say that the Dubs losing by 45 and being as terrible as they are is such delicious schadenfreude.

I love it too, but its going to be absolute bull**** if they stay at the bottom this whole season and get a top 3 draft pick. I'm not super familiar with the draft or if there are good players at the top, but regardless, they don't deserve it.

TD is marketed as a SG but he definitely has those point skills that someone like Powell never possessed. Donovan Mitchell lite.

Definitely has primary ball-handler skills. Donny is small (6"1, 215) compared to TD (6"4, 205).

Why don't we split the baby and say Jrue Holiday-esque potential.

 

[Plat87]

He really is the Masiah, hope he stays here for a very long time, he's a Canadian sports legend already.

Yeah but Jrue’s playmaking is a couple tiers above those guys lol. Also TD might be taller but he’s not longer. I just think his bag of skills looks a lot like Mitchell.

Not a bad comparison, but Jrue can't fly like TD. Also TD looks to have very good defensive potential, but Jrue is one of the best in the world on D. Also I think TD can be more dangerous from the 3.

The Mitchell comparison I like a lot.

I mean it sucks but they might have thompson out for the year, curry out for the rest of the year. Green is day to day and Russell is out for a couple weeks.

they are gonna be bad for a while. Even with Russell heathy he’s their only scorer now and I bet he gets traded for a first or two this year.

[Man Bear Pig]

Yuck. Peddie is a cancer. I was so happy to see that man gone. I'm surprised he didnt take full credit for the Raps title.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Gotta love the Bench Mob 2.0

Yeah that’s what I mean. They’re going to be awful this year because of the injuries, but next year they’ll be good again. And they’ll have a high draft pick.

[McDeepika]

Siakam can be pretty lazy on defense. Probably a consequence of all the minutes he is playing

 

[Jozay]

Lol Hornets

Yeah, he a stud offensively tonight though.

 

[Amadeus]

Tonight’s game was fun but not fun as well. FVV and Siakam need some...wait for it...load management.

 

[Cloned]

Is Gasol really in Embiid’s head that badly? Zero points, 0-7 from the field, 0 for from the charity stripe.

 

[Mickey Marner]

What was that, six straight 3s for Philly?

 

[donghabs98]

Some pretty spotty refing to start the 4th
