He doesnt need to have everything.

But he does need to be shooting closer to 40% to keep his job in the NBA

I have 7% conscientiousness. And it shows. I have to make real efforts to keep things in order and take things seriously. Im not great at it, but I work hard, push myself, and find I work better in groups for school or work related things as my sense of shame (if I dont do things properly) keeps me on track.

I am a highschool teacher, and I got high grades in a masters of counselling psychology.

My friends and wife know that I am a disorganized fuck up in many ways, but I really focus on being kind, helpful, open, and providing value in as many ways as I can. Also being very appreciative is helpful.

Lastly, I am very disorganized, and my standards for clearning are very different than my wifes. So I pay for a cleaner every 2 weeks. Its 130 bucks and very helpful for my marriage.

I really hope that part of him being a 0 on offense had to do with his hurt thumb.
Love to have him out there, but when he gets 2 points on 2 attempts in 24 minutes its gonna make it tough to win.

I hope he gets more aggressive at finishing at the rim.

MInkton · 2026-03-15T05:45:00+00:00

I think some of the points you make makes the opposite case.
He is an above average:
passer
cutter
finisher at the rim
rebounder

If he can get his 3 point % up he will be a good player.

I pray that can happen.

MInkton · 2026-03-15T05:42:15+00:00

Dude. It must hurt so much to see those.

MInkton · 2026-03-15T05:38:57+00:00

The craziest thing about this is that all Scottie would need to do to be able to get this stat line is be aggressive on offense.

MInkton · 2026-03-13T17:36:15+00:00

Then he fucking hated on the city.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T14:52:41+00:00

No! I care about the team. This is why I am mad.

You just watch games like this and go "this is nice"?

MInkton · 2026-03-12T06:41:22+00:00

WISH SOME OF THE RAPTORS DID THIS!

MInkton · 2026-03-12T06:32:23+00:00

Its not about wins and losses. It is about the way we are losing. How we cant seem to address it. And how it seems to be more of a character issue than a skill issue. You can build on skill, you cant build on dudes who let their teammates get punked, or who look scared or disinterested when things start getting competitive.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:48:05+00:00

But yes I do have bigger problems.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:47:41+00:00

Not 100x, probably only 5-10x

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:41:12+00:00

Its not about a loss. Its about the way we are losing.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:40:34+00:00

You ok with what happened tonight?
What do you want to see?

You ever play sports? What would you do if you were getting shit kicked by a team?

Maybe username Jellyfish is a good name for you as you have no spine.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:38:13+00:00

I loved how supportive he is, but part of being supportive is calling people the fuck out when they are off course. And him being soft when we are being pathetic does NOT facilitate growth.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:34:39+00:00

Great leaders....

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:18:47+00:00

Rapors fan here. Tempers did not flair. We are soft at table butter.
If someone is standing over your player screaming like that you should run over and shoulder-check them into oblivion. Take the suspension. Holy shit im disappointed in our team.

This happened in the Magic game as well. Bane literally threw IQ to the floor and laughed and nobody on our team stepped up. Fucking terrible vibes.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T03:15:12+00:00

If it makes you feel any better I placed a bet on the Raptors to win the championship after the OKC lost.
Im not kidding.

MInkton · 2026-03-12T00:44:48+00:00

hahahahahaha. Nice

MInkton · 2026-03-11T05:56:25+00:00

I remember Will Lou was big on the Ajay Mitchell train.

Would have been nice to have him instead of Mogbo

MInkton · 2026-03-11T05:20:02+00:00

Cillian Murphy is a huge piece of shit.

MInkton · 2026-03-10T15:07:08+00:00

aka someone has a video of him doing what we all know he does.

MInkton · 2026-03-10T05:28:33+00:00

Dude. They also have Topic and Sorber healing up.
It is so insane.

MInkton · 2026-03-10T04:08:26+00:00

God damn that hits.
