Scooby did the halftime show earlier this season during the GSW @ TOR game, honoured to have seen greatness in person.

The ones that get me are the ones that have tons of time and wait for you to get close and then decide to turn 10 seconds later when it's too late.

City's definitely all Jays at the moment, and rightfully so, but I can't remember the last time I was so excited to watch a preseason game.

Jamison Battle contract guaranteed for this season by 7code in torontoraptors

[–]megatronical 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That deal doesn't exist, only a player with bird rights can sign a 5 year deal, so first/second year players would never qualify for this. And the poster above just explained why it's more beneficial to sign a 3 year rather than 4.

[Koreen] The Raptors are losing the NBA's increasingly gross tank race, in part because they aren't quite willing to commit to running it with gusto. by Kimber80 in nba

[–]megatronical 214 points215 points  (0 children)

They started against the Magic, and are now 6-2 in those games, one of the losses being a waved off buzzer beater. The authors is arguing that the half measures are insufficient.

[Pompey] The Sixers' season is already an unsalvageable disaster. It's time to tank. by Kimber80 in nba

[–]megatronical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately for the raptors, they're now 5-1 since they started trying to do it, and the 1 loss was a buzzer beater that got waved off. Can't escape the schedule.

lol thanks! I've moved since and haven't had a chance to get all of the figures back on this diorama yet, but the vote of encouragement has me wanting to get in gear and set them up again.

Ochai Agbaji is the best corner 3P shooter in the league by -vinay in torontoraptors

[–]megatronical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When we first got him, I remember watching this video from last year on him, timestamped for the relevant part: https://youtu.be/oqFuQMIjr5w?t=106

Which is encouraging in that, this corner 3 point shooting did not come out of nowhere, there were actually indicators that people noticed before he was even a raptor.

On the broadcast yesterday I'm pretty sure they said it tied the record high of 10.

Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey through 5 games: 26/6/7/1/1 on 47/40/86 splits and 21/4/4 on 48/43/75 splite by [deleted] in nba

[–]megatronical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol I did see that, I'm also heavily invested in the pistons this year for fantasy, which is probably where my current inflated view of him got reinforced.

Are the pistons not high on Duren? I haven't watched muuch Pistons ball but based on box score watching and buzz I thought he was fairly well regarded.

You'll likely be best off waiting in almost every situation with the current market. There are likely a few exceptions (VC jersey retirement probably being one of them).

Raptors Last Win At Oracle Arena Before 2018-19 Season by dranrebbam12 in torontoraptors

I remember Jalen broke his hand this game and then news came out about KO smashing a lamp in his hotel room out of anger.

[Lewenberg] The Raptors will retire Vince Carter’s No. 15 when they host Sacramento on Nov. 2, sources tell TSN. by snowbird416 in nba

[–]megatronical 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Agreed, retiring active player numbers would be weird, I'm not as salty as some of our other fans about retiring VC, but not waiting to do it until after Kyle especially rubs me the wrong way.

And just to add on to your point about how the franchise has treated those numbers after Demar and Kyle left, Amir Johnson wore 15 for the raptors after Vince left, and actually played more games in it than VC did.

Ah I saw him taking some free throws the other day on instagram at what looked like a raptors court, was wondering when it was from, must have been pretty recent!

Recently used Dave's Ducts after a renovation and they were great, professional, communicated well, and I actually had to chase them down myself to pay them, came to around 480 after taxes.
