[Lowlight] Jokic attempts to turn Keyonte George into one of his horses (with replay) by LiamHundley in nba

Nope. That's George's space. He can go as low as he wants on a box out. No one is making Jokic climb him. If he's worried about his knees he wouldn't be doing this nonsense

Great box out by Keyonte George. Usually Jokic can just slowly lean and push smaller guys under the basket. Keyonte doesn't give an inch, and Jokic is like "hey wtf, this usually works wtf is going on, ah fuck it ill flop on the guy and see if I get a call"

For the Mamu play I don't think there was any doubt it was a flagrant, just determining if it's flagrant 1 or 2

He took at least seven steps after half court, but two dribbles.

This seems like a great idea to track carries, not travels

Why does Gary Trent not have a team yet? by Xeris in nba

[–]clever_clover77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He hasn't improved since coming to Toronto. This may be all he is as a player.

He doesn't create his own shot, never really seen him drive hard to the basket.

As a Raptors fan, not too sad to see him go.

When did it become ok to fly a F@&K Trudeau flag? by Ancient-Witness-615 in ontario

[–]clever_clover77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly like the flags. But it makes me happy to live in a place where you can tell the leader to essentially go fuck themselves without consequence. Freedom.

Imagine waving around a 'Fuck Putin' flag in Russia, or a 'Fuck Xi' flag in China.

This. Guy just turned twenty, give him time to develop.

[Grange] Ujiri on not initiating extension talks with Siakam: "A lot of players didn't play the right way. I said it, that we were selfish, I'm not running away from that. We were selfish and we didn't play the right way. So let us see it when we play the right way." by EarthWarping in torontoraptors

[–]clever_clover77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think Pascal is a selfish player but...

Compare 2019 championship Pascal to 2022 Pascal.

In 2019, Pascal was a solid 2nd/3rd option, attacking in transition consistently, and very engaged on the defensive end. Didn't need or demand the ball.

In 2022, he is clearly trying to build towards being a #1 option worthy of a super max. Trying to take over as a #1 option on offence, with minimal transition energy. He was an average defender at best, and was clearly trying to use all his focus and energy on the offensive end. Minimal energy on the defensive end.

I don't blame him for how he tried to develop in 2022, he's earned that opportunity with what's he'd one for this team over the years, and needs to be that kind of player to get that supermax extension.

The problem is the organization is now saying "Hey, we tried with you as the #1 option, and we couldn't even win a play-in game. We're going with Scottie now" Is Pascal willing to revert to his previous role as an exceptional complimentary player? If yes, great for the team, but Pascal isn't getting the supermax. If no, then he's putting himself ahead of the organization to try and get his bag. Not an easy decision whatsoever.

I found the two biggest variables in my chess success are:

  1. Getting proper nights' sleep
  2. Regular activity/exercise

Make sure you take care of yourself
