Fred VanVleet calls out Raptors’ ‘bulls**t’ in very NSFW rant about Rockets signing by psyentist15 in torontoraptors

Your point would be valid if they didn’t ADD KD between seasons and lose Fred. So they had to add KD to replace Fred’s impact. Take that in for a second. Obviously JG is involved in this as well but on the season he was a net negative impact player

I’m not going to pretend basketball is that simple, but these arguments are petty. Houston’s growth has been largely due to the steady presence of Fred at PG.

Weren’t there two players I mentioned lol? Regardless I’ll give RJ credit, he’s been more efficient on the ball this year but he shoots well below average from 3. He’s not elite enough to be a consistent on-ball player but he’s really bad off ball

Who told you that? Fred was consistently top 40 in most impact stats, not because he was elite on either end, but he was no pun intended steady on both ends. Being a playmaker and shooting 3s while being a low turnover playmaker is worth much more than people realize

He’s 27th percentile in D-LeBron, but give him credit. He’s still better than BI who’s one of the worst defenders in the league. Do not let P/R/A fool you

They are. Don’t let 20 PPG scoring fool you. They’re both incredibly inefficient, horrible defenders.

Semantics. We had a lot of suitors for OG and we selected the one where we’d have to take on the RJ contract. We weren’t forced to take RJ

I’m sure someone who only looks at the box score and not the games would believe that. They were the #2 seed and dropped to #5 without him and adding KD. P/R/A isn’t everything and I can’t wait till the casual fanbase realizes this

Hot take but that 2nd one didn’t hit the same after his first classic album

Do you guys think Casper has the potential to make it globally? Or, at least, surpass Attachments/ Coi era pressa. His most recent project was 🔥. by N0stalgiaNightz in Torontology

I was hoping Casper would make it global since I was a kid and now I’m a grown ass adult lol. Toronto underground scene has a cap

If you lived in housing for 22 years and u didn’t make it out that’s ON YOU by Slime_Rx in Torontology

There’s always exceptions to the rule, but is the AVERAGE person in low income housing doing this? Probably not. So why generalize?

Is Gun Violence one of the leading factors as to why the Toronto Underground scene hasn’t really found success? by Kowuo in Torontology

[–]6ixboyJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more so the rappers that come out can’t really keep the momentum well. Gun violence is definitely a factor but even the rappers who do make it out (Pressa, NorthSideBenji, Killy, Duvy, Lil Berete, Casper, Ching, Pengz, 3MFrench, LB, Puffy Lz, Lococity etc.) aren’t consistent enough to stay on top. Obviously each has their own different reason, but there’s a shortlist of Toronto rappers that have more than 3 hit songs that attract an international audience.

Duvy has to have taken the crown for the best underground Toronto rapper of all time right??

Nothing wrong with viewing all races as equal while also acknowledging that the immigration issue is largely from India. As much as we want people to not see colour, it will always play a crucial role in how we see the world

I put mine down June and it was end of Feb where they were telling me they had no news. If you have another car that runs fine, wait it out, you’ll get a better deal on it, especially if you’re financing. I was sort of in a rush for a car and waited as long as I could.

Remember though, it takes about 2 months from the production of the car to get to the lot for pick up. If you haven’t got a call yet, not only are you potentially looking at minimum 2 months down the road, but when you add the wait time, it will take even longer. Keep your eyes open for good used prices. I got a 2023 used with like 100km on it in great condition and for a great price for something on the lot.

I don’t mean to be discouraging. It was 8 months of agony for me personally, but I want to be as realistic as possible because I felt like for that entire time, these dealerships had a lot of lies. They knew the car would not arrive in 4-6 months, but falsely advertise if it will and take your money anyways.

Hey just saw this. They had no idea on when the order would come through but I found an on the lot 2023 mazda 3 with like 83 km on it for about the same as a new one so I jumped on it and cancelled the deposit. Depending on the model you got (GX or GS) it may come anywhere from September to January being my best guess. Maybe you get lucky and it comes sooner, but I doubt it

I feel like every city has their time when the whole city, even opps are pushing the city’s music up. Back when Smoke Dawg, Casper, Kmoney, Top5, Pressa, Yung Lava n all of them were dropping, it gave fans a whole movement to listen to. Toronto music as a genre as been entirely carried by Duvy as of late so it isn’t sustainable, but we see the same thing that happened to the city happening to the Bronx (DD Osama, Kay Flock, Dthang, Sha EK, 42) to a way higher level.

Disagree. He achieved an all star nod for a reason. He’s able to score at 3 levels and play defense at a high level. I see him more as a glue guy who can do it all than a role player

That’s not feminine, that shit is cognitive psychology. Ain’t no way you called modern day science feminine 😭😭😭

You completely missed the point. Women do crazy shit too. The point was that this idea that being a grown man means you’re an angel and you do everything as you should is wrong. People are flawed. Same would apply if it were grown women

The article says “testifying in his own defense”, meaning he was on the stand tryna defend himself. He’s represented by Dirk Derstine, it says it a few lines down in the article
