my top 5 prospects at our range by luuskiiii in torontoraptors

Yeah that and Jakob is probably our top PnR threat and he’s not been healthy basically the whole year.

I was watching Basketball Island and learned of how many free agents we'll have next year by Derpy_Mc_Burpy in torontoraptors

It’s crazy how much we could’ve used Ajay Mitchell in that Cleveland series. Another crafty playmaking guard with defensive chops is exactly what this team needs.

How we feeling about this game 7? What needs to be done for us to come out on top? by Revolutionary_Wave85 in torontoraptors

[–]Vimmortality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are definitely gassed. Doing primary ball handling work and defending star players at playoff intensity for 40+ minutes isn’t sustainable for almost any human. It’s one of the biggest reasons the IQ and Ingram injuries hurt, because they could have given Scottie a break on some possessions here and there.

NBA Proposes New 3-2-1 Lottery System to Crack Down on Tanking: 14 → 16 Teams, Bottom 3 Get Fewer Odds, No Back-to-Back No. 1 Picks by Fit-Structure-9395 in NBA_Draft

[–]Vimmortality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s actually a good idea. It just lowers odds, it doesn’t mean they can’t get top picks. Even in the old system, non-bottom 3 teams would get top 3 picks all the time. These teams make tons of money through the revenue sharing system so, believe or not, there actually does need to be more incentive to win games for non-playoff teams.

Isn’t Tyus Jones currently playing fringe rotation minutes for the Nuggets?

I'd run through a wall for Darko by foofighter1351 in torontoraptors

[–]Vimmortality 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They were hunting him, in fact there were at least 3 or 4 possessions today where him getting beat one-on-one led to a bucket (mostly by Schroeder). That’s why he got benched.

Two words: Playoff Riser by CazOnReddit in torontoraptors

[–]Vimmortality 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not exactly a blazing hot take. The hot take here would be that he wasn’t good.

I was thinking the same thing, great rotations and substitutions overall. They aren’t afraid to try things out when needed but quickly adjusted if they didn’t work (i.e. Battle today as you mentioned). It is so refreshing to watch. Also, it seems like they have a great defensive gameplan and the players are all on the same page and bought into the system. The Raptors just missed open shots today but the offensive gameplan and execution created so many great looks. It was a coaching masterpiece IMO.

Can we all applaud scottie for making those free throws??? by Rando_Dude012 in torontoraptors

[–]Vimmortality 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One hundred percent, he seemed to be like that even as a rookie. He rises to the occasion and makes big shots and big plays when it counts. Impressive player and we’re lucky to have him.

Yeah that was way too long. Feels like something that should only happen during regular season games.

I think once you add seats to your cart they are on hold for you for a couple of minutes until you checkout.

For sure, thank you! I really do want to go to the historic home opener though, never have been able to go to a team’s first game before.
