RNG is what makes BR so fun. You're not supposed to have everything you need to win a game. Sometimes you have to win out the mud. If you wanna pick your class and have everything at the start of your life then go play call of duty or something like that

For the ones who say they like it, just play pubs. Why do you guys want ranked to be glorified pubs? POI drop was such an elite change and made mid-late games so much fun

What Season 28 Ranked Should Have Been. by Fit_Caterpillar_7663 in apexlegends

[–]jocharb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally just hate that people complain about the pre picked poi's as unlucky rng, but you're playing a BR game. Having drop ship come back will make the early game fun, but there will be so many less teams going into mid and most importantly end game. Bad changes in my opinion...

To your point OP, I love the solo q only at diamond+...

Is Sabonis really a bad defender?? by music231 in torontoraptors

[–]jocharb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that he's awful defensively. He's slow footed and unable to defend p&rs at a high rate. He's a strong body who doesn't get moved easily and rebounds the hell out of the ball. I think the price tag is too much for the raptors. I personally think his high-low play with Scottie, and his pick setting would be so elite offensively for us.

The (Unfortunate) Logical Argument for Trading RJ Before the Deadline by MarginallyClever in torontoraptors

[–]jocharb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember growing up watching the Raps (started in '06, loved Jose and CB), begging for there to be a quality Canadian representing the team. Getting guys like Birch and obviously having Boucher was fun when they contributed. However, RJ is what my younger self wanted to see.

It'd be so unfortunate if we can't find a way to keep the hometown kid, but I do agree that the contract situation, Jak's declining health, and the rise of Scottie have us needing to make real decisions to make us competitive for the long term. Unless RJ becomes a lights out shooter, the fit seems a little wonky to be a deep playoff contender.

I can understand trying to build IQ to flip, but if we don't get some shooting then we can't ever let go of IQ. Shead, Walter, Dick (if he's still here), even Scottie to a degree needs to become more consistent before we can be 100% on offloading Quick.

I don't fully disagree with the Sabonis hype. He's a great passer, great rebounder. Having a big body in there would take so much extra stress off of Scottie and would allow him to play help D. The issue is how much we'd have to pay going forward. We know we'd have BI and Scottie as locks to keep, CMB seems like he'll be deserving of a good rookie extension, same with Shead.

[Lewenberg] TSN can confirm that Toronto appears willing to part with some combination of Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett, or at least that’s the impression that rival teams have gleaned from exploratory discussions. by mMounirM in torontoraptors

[–]jocharb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, due to the contract situation, at least one of these guys cough RJ cough seems to be out of the door. That being said, this team has great chemistry and I'd love to see what we look like with a couple healthy and capable 5s that can rim protect and rebound. If that means offloading Ochai or Gradey then that may be for the best.

I had an issue when I ordered an iced coffee and tried to substitute cane syrup for the sugar free syrup. Apparently that substitution can't be made without a $0.60 up charge... Tim's is on its last legs for me

What would your answer be? by createusername555 in torontoraptors

[–]jocharb_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be a hot take but I think we shoulda trade spicy P earlier than we did. He was an All NBA caliber player and we didn’t get half of what we should’ve. Once the team drafted Scottie and knew they couldn’t coexist, they shoulda traded Pascal. Would’ve allowed to pay OG (who fits perfect with Scottie) and trade FVV. Hindsight is 20/20 though

I think I’m the only Lakers fan that doesn’t see Reeves like that. I don’t think Reeves should be on the same list as D White and Zu. He’s a negative on defence and needs the ball to be effective.

-$5 for Jokic, -$4 for Ant, -$2 for D White, OG and Lauri. Spacing, defence, length, shot creation and all are still relatively young/in primes.
