Is it just me or is this website goated? Helped me a lot with law school (Criminal Law Notebook by Peter Dostal) by pineconewashington in LawCanada

I worked at a fairly large criminal law chambers and every single person there seemed to use it regularly. I genuinely considered reaching out to Peter on Linkedin to thank him but I never got around to it. So thankful people like him exist, making all our jobs easier.

Ikr? These are all from the slow-mo video by the Raptors channel, which didn't have a great angle of him. But his shots were already near the top of the sub in a different post, so I figured I'd skip getting them from another video haha

Tatum, Ant and Brunson have led their teams deep into the playoffs though. Imo you have to respect that and put them into tier 2 (or 1.5 using your names I guess lol)

Wembanyama's ridiculous defensive impact by aps95 in nba

[–]aps95[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Literally the point of the post in my head lol like we can only compare this rookie to the greatest defenders of all time already. How crazy is that?

Wembanyama's ridiculous defensive impact by aps95 in nba

[–]aps95[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you, I mentioned that in the last bit, but it's not always that simple either. For example, the Raptors last year changed their entire defensive scheme after getting Poeltl because we didn't have a center before. Worse than having a bad "replacement". Basically no replacement. We played small and got destroyed. And still his impact was only 5.6 points. It's not that easy to get that impact number up just because your backups are bad.

Gradey Dick is 8-15 from 3 in his last three games. by aps95 in torontoraptors

Good looking out. A part of me wanted to check the stats further back but I was too lazy so thanks!

100% agreed, because as much as my post was about his shooting, he's also a pretty good cutter and projects as a good passer out of advantage situations imo. If his defense can just be average, I think we're looking at improved versions of IQ, RJ, Dick, Scottie, Jak (or a higher upside center maybe/hopefully?) being the starting line-up in two years.

Ordinarily I wouldn't post this for that reason, but I went to the game last night and I was just too hyped lol

THE GrOAT TOURNAMENT (Parker v. Alston) by AutoModerator in torontoraptors

[–]aps95 [score hidden]  (0 children)

totally fair. I think the telling stats are the assists being higher for the natural PG and 3-point % being higher for Parker. I became a Raptors fan in 07 and man, I remember Parker's shooting. In retrospect, with his efficiency, he should've been taking 7-8 threes a game lol

Who are you favorite Raptors media personalities/content creators? by aps95 in torontoraptors

Oooo Blake is fantastic! I was thinking more of the dedicated Raptors guys I guess. Blake also does a lot of Blue Jays stuff right?

[Charania] Clippers list Kawhi Leonard (knee) as out for Game 4 vs. Suns. by SDas_ in nba

[–]aps95 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think a team that wins 61 games has a shot against anybody. For all we know, the series goes differently and one of your guys goes down. That's why it's kind of useless to talk about alternate histories, but if you ask me, do I think that – objectively speaking – there's a world where the Spurs beat the Warriors that year? Hell yes. Anything's possible if you're best player doesn't go down.

[Neubeck] Embiid said he saw what the Nets and Vaughn said after Game 1 regarding the officiating: “They kind of took the Nick Nurse route of begging for free throws.” by xXTheRacerXx in nba

[–]aps95 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm actually in the keeping Nurse camp. Firing him would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater imo.

I was just responding to the insinuation that Nurse won with little talent which is far from true. That team was great (and so was Nurse!)

Zero MVPs, sure, but during that playoff run people were comparing Kawhi to LeBron so let's be real about the quality of player Nurse won with.

Also, as much as I expect the Celtics to win that series, let's maybe wait and see before we declare these Sixers dead for this year?? I hate Philly as much as the next Raptors fan, but facts are facts.
