    That whiteboy C on the raptors poteyl is a better defensive player than valicounous get valunicous outta there trade him

    Duke does all the little things jv doesn't(he single handedly drags the raptors defense down)boxes out,contests shots,switches on wings/guards,blocks shots bet money if he started over jv raptors overall will be better.

    I noticed that too. The raptors had a whole different feel everytime Poetl got in. He was grabbing offensice board, keeping plays above. Ibaka garbage defensively now too, so they need a defensive rebounding center.

    Yesterday was the first time I really watched Poetl, but dude just seemed like he had a feel for the game and was always in the right position offensively and defensively. He always knew how to move the bigs that were gaurding him away and create space for the wing to operate with the ball depending on which side the ball was in.

    He was always in the right place on offense too but the Raptors wings dont know how to get the ball in the post.

    I dont want to over react cause it was my first time watching him and he mighta just had a great game but I was impressed with what I saw.

    Ben simmons be passin to a player with 3 seconds on the shot clock to throw up prayers that be brickin

    that's that rondo ? I be talkin about.Simmons jagged that game last night cuz he kept doing that

    I don't remember embiid getting the the rock the last 2-3 mins.

    Embiid need to play under control he almost broke his neck,landin on players like he jumpin off turnbuckles

    Im gonna give Simmons the benefit of the doubt and blame it on inexperience, but he ? up that last drive. I feel like he wanted to be the star and make that last shot to get the sixers up by 4. My dude dribbled for 20 seconds but the Rockets kept closing every lane to the post and then he gave the ball to Bayless like 4 feet away from the 3 point line and 4 seconds to go and forced Bayless to try a wreckless drive.

    I saw Bayless looking at Simmons after that like he wanted to steal on him.

    Cant put teammates in bad positions like that cause you wanna dribble the ball looking for a driving lane.

    What are his goals

    23 points and 10 assists through 4 games is trippin? Only thing I see is his shot ain't falling right now and maybe not trusting his teammates enough down the stretch because he plays hero ball a bit

    It's unbelievable how the Brooklyn Nets beat the Cave by five points. They seriously suck as a team with no stand out player other than Jeremy Lin; no shade!

    since he was fired sam mitchell been on nbatv wearing those hoop earrings and grinning ear to ear while watching the twolves get smoked multiple times a week

    adjusting to new teammates is one thing

    lacking any effort or pride in what you do is a whole other thing

    towns
    wiggins
    teague

    seem like they dont give a ? if they get torched on defense as long as they get their shots on the other end — like itd be one thing if the twolves lost these last 2 games because their shots just werent falling or were still trying to work out the chemistry but to lose because of effort?

    discouraging



    look at this

    its amazing that jimmy (who is having a down year if youre just looking at his numbers) has made a team that is this bad look decent the first 3 games
