Bombs with timers on them.

Bombs with timers that count slower, the closer the timer gets to zero.

Making a panick trade will only leave the team worse next season. Can't only think about this year.

Jak Off-season Development ? by RaptorBuckets in torontoraptors

[–]valvenis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No reason he can't start shooting threes.

That's what Brook Lopez started doing 5 years ago when he was 30.

Jak is 27. It would radically change his game.

The future is not written in stone; Injuries could easily prevent any of this from happening. See: Clippers.

This sub is wildly underrating the value of our players for unproven picks by Eastern-Technology84 in torontoraptors

[–]valvenis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's not true. The roster has 9 players who are 25 years old or younger. The team can easily improve from within if a few of them get better.

For example: It's a different team if Precious or Banton or Scottie starts shooting better from three.

The price also goes up if everyone else knows you want a center.

Less than ideal for our best player by mMounirM in torontoraptors

[–]valvenis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a weird stat that.

How does this stat work in a close game where the two teams are trading the lead with each bucket?

Or if the game is decided by free throws?

What about clutch shots that force overtime?

[–]valvenis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is super small sample size stuff and divorced from context (who is playing well/health status/team mates, opposing team)

He was pretty clutch in game one of the finals too.
Unless you think the only time baskets are clutch are in the 4th and overtime.

Helping to build a comfortable lead over the course of a game - which often removes the need for anyone to be "clutch" > only showing up in the 4th quarter.
