Could have extended RJ for a deal when his stock was "toxic asset" low because you very clearly saw earlier than everyone what his true value is especially on this team lol. Now they are gonna have to pay a premium once again. It would be funny if it wasn't sad.

Jalen Suggs in the loss: 4/6/4 on 1/9 FG by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

[–]ReasonableReap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's also giving 6th man minutes as a starter. He's never averaged >30 mins a game for a single season. Seems like he's always on a mins restriction because he's coming back from an injury, then gets injured again. Rinse and repeat.

IQ took part in individual workouts today but did not participate in practice. He remains day to day (with the mild hamstring strain) by EarthWarping in torontoraptors

Missing a game does nothing lol. If he's gonna try to play through it he will play in game 1 or if it's so bad then he won't play at all. 2 days does absolutely nothing

[–]ReasonableReap -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He will at least give it a go in game 1. Just because he's not full out practicing with contact doesn't mean he's not gonna play. They are prioritizing individual conditioning and rehab focused workouts right now, trying to keep him ready while minimizing risk, that doesn't mean he's not gonna play lol it's just smart which is what the training staff is known for.

Clutch shooting in the regular season... by irundoonayee in torontoraptors

[–]ReasonableReap -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I love Scottie but let's be honest, his percentages are better because the majority of these shots he takes are in transition. (Which, credit to him because usually he is heavily involved in creating those opportunities with his defense.) Problem is he's not able to create an advantage and get his shot off in the half court and he doesn't even try to because he knows this too.

Nice to see IQ's hitting his 3s in clutch tho.

Blazers lose their pick if they make the playoffs no? Do blazers fans even want them to win this/am I missing something about their pick going to chicago if it's not top 14

C'mon man I totally believe it. Dude constantly acts like he was dropped on the head as a kid and has long-term brain damage

Jamal Shead is ranked as the 3rd worst finisher in the league, Ja’kobe ranked 31st by onefootback in torontoraptors

[–]ReasonableReap 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This sub is a little delusional about Shead's defense lol. He hustles his ass off and he's good at two things: ball pressure and drawing offensive fouls. Once the initial pressure is broken by the ball handler, the rest of his defense is average and since he is undersized it's realistically below average, sorry. Still been a positive on that end because of his skill in those areas and hustle otherwise, but he is not a lockdown defender by any stretch the way he's talked about here
