is dybasta who we want in the draft? i was doing some film study and there’s no doubt the kid is special. however, he gives me a lot of mathurin vibes. the ball handling, lack of passing ability and driving are very similar except dybasta is like 3 inches taller, bigger, and has a great face up game. since mathurin gets criticized by fans for not fitting in with our system, why would we draft dybasta if they have somewhat similar games (imo) burning our gap year pick on a restart of the mathurin cycle doesn’t sound very smart. would we move siakam down to the 5 and play him at the 4? hali nembhard and nesmith need to start, that shouldn’t be a debate. is there something else i need to look out for? is there more to his game that im missing?
That 3 game win streak was getting us dangerously too close to locking in that 14th seed had to slow down a little bit
Raptors was putting belt to azz in first half. Hitting everything.
Great breakdown analysis. The annoying microphone banging returned❓👌
I thought Furphy and Q played excellent. Not one T.O between them. Walker sometimes plays defense like he's on the practice squad but if Mathurin was available to sub for Nesmith Pacers might win that game.
Rick may be wrong because Raptors are really streaky within a game this year. But okay they won 3 quarters.
You're not going to have much of a chance in today's NBA when you miss thirty shots from the arc. It's amazing that they did. Still some good takeaways from this game if we can Men in Black the 1st.
Whenever things got close the Raptors went on a run. Thoroughly outplayed imo.
