I should mention that Scottie does listen to the vets, but the interactions he had were mostly with Schroder and Darko in terms of coaching. During free throws, he always walks to Darko to get the next play to relay it to the team if Schroder isn’t there. He is always the one who tells the team the next play.

Precious definitely felt like he tuned out for a lot of the game. I’m not sure if he was just frustrated at his own play, but the second he got his 3rd foul and realized Boucher was there to sub him, he was already in his own head.

Yep! Reminder that food in this place is crazy expensive. It will run a huge tab on you out-of-pocket.

Most entree meals like those chicken fingers are $18usd just for the main meal, and even the water starts at $5usd! They stack up super quick!

So if I ate 3 times, that’s already around $85+ without liquor by myself. This is why getting perks like unlimited food is a really good benefit!

Bro wait we had Otto Porter this whole time and he ain’t put him in?! lol

I love how Embiid’s foul motion is flapping his wings in the air like his got his wings clipped or some shit lol

Shit, at this rate, we might as well bring back the Triangle Offense

Bro precious dropped EVERY BALL

I can assure you that this is not always the case, and more recency bias.

The Kings were rebuilding for decades. It’s only now that they made right decisions to suddenly be a playoff team, and even then, they are nowhere close to championship contention.

The pistons for example are still rebuilding since losing Blake years ago. They have promising young talent, but that’s not the case either. Knicks were stuck in draft hell for years.

Don’t let the recent teams cloud you into thinking that once we rebuild, we’ll suddenly find amazing talent. I can almost guarantee you that it’ll take a very long time on average.

We kept up with both of them. We didn’t get blown out.

We made shitty mistakes in the first game. We had the victory.

We had great shooting but bad defensive decisions in the 2nd half. We still kept up.

If people really jump to conclusions about the vibes being done on game 3, despite having a rookie coach with a drastically different approach compared to Nurse and being competitive, then you might as well give up on this team and come back next era.

Well from my interactions with people last night,.it’s also Jak’s fault for not being the offensive big that fits this squad.

So, so far the reason we are bad, according to Reddit is:

• Fred VanVleet
• Nick Nurse
• Pascal Siakam
• Jakob Poeltl

Essentially all Lowry/DeRozan era players.

I assume next in line is:

• Malachi Flynn for being the sole destruction of the 2nd unit
• Gary Trent Jr. for not shooting enough or shooting too much
• Chris Boucher for being Chris Boucher, take your pick
• Dennis Schroder for not giving Scottie the ball enough
• Jeff Dowtin Jr because even though he’s not on the squad, the mention of his name induces an aggressive, impulsive reaction

I’ve said it multiple times and I’ll say it again: this sub is not ready for a rebuild. We’re only game 3 and people want Jak and Siakam out, not even giving any thought as to how Scottie will perform when teams scout him as the #1 option.

The top contenders in that draft class seem to have all leaped together. Cade, Mobley and Barnes have been doing great.

Me: This was a promising game for our rookies!

Raptors Reddit: DEATH! DEATH UPON PASCAL! AND SIAKAM TOO! A CURSE UNTO THEE!

This is great news for us, because it confirms (at least for a bit) that we drafted the right guy.

A pure shooter.

He got 5 fouls, then stopped fouling altogether. Not sure if he’ll ever be defensive-minded, but that’s what the long wings are for. OG should really help space out everything and make a viable threat in certain rotations.

I felt like Pascal is lost in the current scheme of Darko’s system. And also felt left out.

Whether people want to admit it or not, he is still our #1 option, and he generates the most gravity out of all the players in our roster. Darko really needs to utilize that to allow space on the floor.
