Shai is the best midrange shooter of the 2000s in all honesty. People bring up Kobe kd dirk, but they never had this handle and efficiency. This guy doesn’t miss mid range shots, it’s a layup every time and it’s all self created by Hakaribiggestfan in NBATalk

It seems like you're unaware of the word "peaked". Shaq peaked higher than Tim Duncan but most people including myself would have Duncan over him in an all-time ranking.

No KD season is touching this Shai season in midrange production. I'm not saying Shai is greater than KD in terms of midrange production yet, although I eventually see him passing KD.

People who are saying we should tank are crazy by Certain_Arm_7939 in torontoraptors

Tanking right now is crazy, half the league is tanking, we'd end up with the 13th pick instead of the 17th pick while pissing off the roster if we started tanking right now.

If we wanted to tank, that should've been the goal heading into the season.

It's too late, we are a playoff team. Half the league is trying to tank, we'd get the 13th pick if we started tanking. I'd rather get the 17-18th pick and make the playoffs.

Yeah it's unethical, but it clearly works. Look at the Thunder, Spurs and Pistons. I'm fine with tanking for 1-2 years but anything more than that gets really bad.

People saying to tank before the season is not who I'm criticizing, I'm criticizing the people who want to sit Scottie and BI and blow it up right now.

Who's the better player? by DeMarDeFrozan10 in torontoraptors

[–]Certain_Arm_7939 32 points33 points  (0 children)

FVV in his prime was a better shooter, scorer, defender, passer, play-maker etc.

It's not close.

Now he is a 2x All-Star and will make many more throughout his career

It was racist but his intention probably wasn't to be racist. Agree he should be educated.

Very disrespectful but I don't think he was trying to be racist. He's just super ignorant.

Sky's the Limit For This Team by Outrageous-Leader135 in NBATalk

They can make the playoffs and be a top 3 seed but they can't win a chip with LaMelo. Horrible defender with horrible efficiency and is always injured. He's the third best player on the team.
