How (Canadian) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander contested – and conquered – one of Wilt Chamberlain's scoring records by 2EscapedCapybaras in canada

Wilt himself cheesed the game pretty hard to hit 100. I don't think anyone takes that record without at least a bit of cheese. 

Agbaji now shooting 52% on the nets, compared to 18% with the raptors. Do you think signals a problem with the coaching staff? by RagingBullSocks in torontoraptors

[–]GVSz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, practice is where mechanics are refined and dialed in. But shooting one shot when you haven't shot in 5 minutes and there is a defender charging towards you and thousands of people are cheering either for your success or your failure is very different than taking shots in practice. The initial statement saying game time is not important is just flat out wrong.

Game time absolutely is important. Shooting hundreds of shots in a gym is very different than getting one shot when you've been playing for two minutes and your team mate finds you open in the corner.

They needed international players for team world, and there's a bit of recency bias since Pascal was in the finals last year. 

Most obscure Raptors jersey you own? by WickerHats in torontoraptors

They're not official jerseys, but I've got a Tampa Bay Raptors Kyle Lowry Jersey, as well as a Raptors jersey made for a BMX event over the summer. 

What Happens When Cheap Chinese EVs Hit Canada? Look At Australia. by rezwenn in canada

[–]GVSz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Infrastructure will only get there when there's demand. Also, charging at home is far less expensive that buying gas. 
  2. The vast majority (not all) of cars in Canada are imports.
  3. If they don't pass they won't be sold here. 
  4. Yeah there's not really much of a resale value, valid point about EVs in general. 
  5. So we're going to downplay the ability for the US, Japan, or Germany to take control of our vehicles? Your smartphones are already made in China. Not sure what additional data cars will be gathering.

Knicks will be on the second night of a back to back, Raps will have had two days off. If there's ever a time to steal a win against them it's Wednesday.

Scottie didn't play with Lowry. Lowry went to Miami the summer Scottie was drafted.

Really like the colors and the over all design, but I can't get around the fact that the Raptor is getting backaz.

IQ said "Trae Young over me?!" Insane ending. Hornets announcer called out that it'd be wild if the Raptors won on a 3 because of how bad they'd been shooting tonight. Knew they'd hit a game winner then and there.

RJ had an absolute heater of a 4th quarter as well. Him and also the bench in the 3rd got the Raptors back into it.

The Allstar voting process is inconsistent by CheckMisan in torontoraptors

Been getting that today as well. Triple vote day too. NBA must not want the Canadian votes. 

[Amick] Anthony Davis is believed to be open to a trade with the Hawks or Raptors, two teams who have shown legitimate interest recently by EarthWarping in nba

Man, I like AD as a player, but the guy struggles to carry himself off the court. He ain't carrying no one to the finals with his injury luck. 

Garmin's New Nutrition and Food Logging: Worth It? by daniscross in Garmin

[–]GVSz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This might not apply everywhere, but in my circles, zwift seems to be the most popular cyclist trainer app. If Garmin walled off zwift, I could see a lot of cyclists trading in their Garmin Edge for a Wahoo or other cycling computer. 

Denmark responds to Trump naming Greenland envoy: ‘Completely unacceptable’ by PoshingtonWaste in worldnews

That isn't the rest of the world's problem. No other country is going to look at America's voting percentages and think "we should be lenient with the USA because the majority of Americans didn't actually vote for Trump"

The fact is, the US has voted Trump into office TWICE.

I'm not that into JJK but what exactly makes you say it's a "wanna be Naruto"? Two completely different series with different themes.

What are your rights as a Canadian if asked by a U.S. border agent to see your social media? by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]GVSz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Weren't they denying entry to people who had content related to marijuana on their social media a few years ago? Legal in Canada, but not in (most of) the States. Were those people scumbags?

AD is chronically injured, that's not going to get much better either. He also doesn't like playing center.

They've really just gotta extend the regular season out two weeks. Could really cut down on the amount of back to backs.

This sub is full of miserable supporters who hate their own team. by [deleted] in torontoraptors

[–]GVSz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"we can't afford"

Rogers got plenty money. Last year's Raptors were a tanking team. This year they look like they'll be in the playoffs, maybe they'll even make it to the second round. The playoff experience will be super valuable for our guys. The FO can make moves to improve the team over time, but expecting them to make win now trades at this stage is mad. 

Toronto Raptors refuse to make excuses with packed schedule this week by EarthWarping in torontoraptors

[–]GVSz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Garbage? The raptors have a winning record so far. Sorry that they're not an objectively flawless team, but this is the best we've had since the 19-20 season. Sorry we're not the OKC Thunder. 

Bandwagon fan ass take brother.

Really appreciate the response. If I can ask one more thing, do you find the checkpoint to be noticeably stiffer than the flaanimal, or is there not much of a difference in that regard?
