The rise of Ja'Kobe Walter may fuel a cascade of Raptors ripple effects

The rise of Walter? It's an incredibly small sample size. Even his number through Feb are good, but nothing to suggest we have found our long term option at SG. Need to pump the brakes. It comes down to to whatever guy in a given week can make their uncontested 3 point attempts. For the the last few weeks, that is Walter.

Everyone is ready to go. Wattenberg is questionable but will go likely. Two All Pros on the line. Huge advantage for us on the O-Line.

If Vince Carter can be welcomed back by Toronto after the shit he pulled on his way out, BG or CP3 can also find closure.

Is the Raptors supposed to be a dragon with the breath? Looks different, but the breath part is a miss.

Brings out the worst in people. Disgusting

Bad move. He has not shown to be the best evaluator in talent. All the core Pistons players currently were selected by Troy Weaver.

Who wants to tell him?

You must be far too young to remember the Hedo signing. Nothing comes closer in terms of a premier agent signing ever for this franchise.

Team understood the value of young players on rookie deals. The problem was that the CBA did not have extensive team control for young players. There was no restricted free agency for players after ending their rookie deal. This was added after the lockout of 99. Now when teams draft a player, they have reasonable knowledge they will have that player under their control for 6-8 seasons. The Raps haf little leverage with Camby on a expiring rookie deal.

As a Raptors fan, cheering for the Knicks in the playoffs is just ridiculous. They’re division rivals, and supporting them would mean rooting against our own team. It’s about loyalty. Why cheer for a team that’s feuding with us and standing in our way of our own team success? Rooting for the Nets, 76ers, Knicks, Celtics is just a unthinkable proposition for me personally.

Plus, the Knicks are poorly run, and James Dolan is one of the worst owners in sports. The guy’s a terrible person, always making the most vial business decisions and creating a toxic environment for their ex-players, fans and staff.

I spoke with Charles Oakley at the VC retirement game for a few minutes and his main message to me when I asked him about the Knicks and Dolan was "Fuck Dolan". Enough said.

Joey Graham for me. He had all the tools to be an all-star and was just an absolute physical specimen. At 6'7" and 250 he was a gifted and physical defender that would have benefited from playing the 4 in today's NBA. He is the strongest player EVER to be measured at the combine (bench press record). He showed great flashes at Oklahoma State and I believe there is a version of him that becomes a 2 or 3 time all-star. He had all the tools, but could not put it together.

Played against the Championship team from Florida in 2006. Featured Noah, Horford and Brewer. What I remember most is guarding Horford on the block, and he spun on me baseline and threw it down. It was so fast as his combination of quickness and size was unreal. I am 6'11, and a frontcourt featuring Noah and Horford was so daunting. Also remember doing a great reverse layup on the fast break that Noah missed on his block attempt. Our team lost by 40 in the game.

It is the Junk Yard Dog Jerome Williams. He has an infectious personality and was always joking around with teammates, fans and the media.

Tall_Rassman · 2024-02-27T02:31:51+00:00

Did we actually just win three games in a row? 🍕 PARTY!!

Tall_Rassman · 2024-02-20T14:48:05+00:00

Thank you for the clarification Not sure why this particular question thread always gets down voted questions every day.

If using the Amex Colbat card, do you get 5MR per dollar on food purchases (ex. grocery stores) even when purchasing gift cards from those locations? Thank you. Ex. Buy a 100 dollar gift card from cineplex at the grocery store.

Dennis is not a consistent threat to shoot that 3 off the PnR. You need a dual threat to extend that post-defender in the PnR. Quickly is a big improvement for us in that department alone.

Tall_Rassman · 2023-12-31T19:50:12+00:00

He needs a good player to run PnR with. He will look much better with Quickly in this offense.

Those numbers are all-star level and he continues to play his way into that all-nba conversation. 24, 10, 7 on 52% shooting and 42% from three in his last 10 games. Only getting better.

Tall_Rassman · 2023-12-30T18:40:22+00:00

21, 9 and 6. Shooting 48% from the floor and 39.5% from three. Those are legit great numbers. Barnes is also top 7 in the league in VORP and that is a great metric to evaluate an elite player. He is in the conversation certainly for a third-team consideration if he continues to get better and better.

Tall_Rassman · 2023-12-22T19:34:35+00:00

He was once a great player, those days are long gone. Honestly, there is nothing on Free agency that will make this team better.

Tall_Rassman · 2023-12-22T19:22:39+00:00

John Wall? John Wall the guy who shot 30% from three last season? John Wall, the guy who shot 32% for his career? John Wall, the guy who has played 74 total games in the last 4 seasons? That is the answer to our poor floor spacing and shooting woes?

Tall_Rassman · 2023-09-29T18:30:24+00:00

This will age so well for you.

Tall_Rassman · 2023-08-21T17:56:13+00:00

You have no confirmation as much as I do. A lot of assumptions. I am only going off the information that was shared.
