Scottie has the 2nd highest usage on the team.

He has the ability to impose his will on defences, and he fades out of that at times, probably because he is a playmaker by nature and this is new for him. It will take time and reps, but this theory that others take away from his ability to impact the game is simply not true.

These fails are all on Masai.

😂😂

You had a “got em” moment without bashing your own team lol will never understand that 🤷🏽‍♂️

As a HP nut and RPG lover, Hogwarts legacy let me down big time. It wasn’t terrible but it could have been legendary. Hopefully the next one improves on it.

Last year, scottie was not that guy to shoot 38% from downtown and not that guy to be a pnr ball handler.

It all takes reps, for him and everyone else.

Exactly. People are like “we need to run through scottie so he can develop…but not like that!!”

Alvin talks too much lmao. Couldn’t finish his first thought before talking about Scottie on Garland (for the 2nd time)

If we finish around .500, I’m OK with what we gave up for Yak, but it’s the timing and not choosing the “blow it up route” that deadline. Unlike a lot of years, there was reason to seriously consider it, even from a FO that historically has not done that and that’s what most people take issue with.

Which is kind of funny because the flip side of it is you could argue we should have traded demar way earlier as it was obvious his weakness in the playoffs were killing us…but he’s treated as some hero that Masai shot and buried.

Regarding the draft, maybe it won’t be deep but stuff like this is said about so many drafts and it ends up being wrong.

Lmao says someone that’s clearly never shot a basketball

Possibly underage (consent is 16 in Oklahoma and I think that’s the current unknown)

Wouldn’t make it any less gross, but that’s the line of legality over there.

I think we re sign him to a max and try and get more shooters on the team including at the 5.

I get what you mean, but the point of the vlog is to show the life of an NBA player to his German fans who see way less of that than we do on this side of the pond. I’m not sure they care about the Raptors at all tbh, and that’s fair.

It definitely has boring parts for that reason (imo) but I respect his dedication to it.

I’m a “masai stan” but this is too much and he definitely has made some weird decisions last 12 months or so relative to his entire tenure as a GM.

I honestly think ownership is forcing his hand, he didn’t just wake up and forget how to be a bball exec.

I understand physical injuries will impact his main skill, but honestly, if he’s struggling to shoot, he should be looking to pass out of basically any situation that isn’t a catch and shoot 3.

I don’t mind Gary being a bit more selfish if he’s healthy and hitting shots. We need that skill from him. But right now it’s twice as bad.

You’re welcome rest of league

You’re welcome rest of league

The odds of winning without tanking or signing a star is miniscule

Last title winners:

Denver - didn’t tank for Jokic

Golden State - didn’t tank for Steph

Bucks - didn’t tank for Giannis

Lakers - didn’t tank for Lebron (but does have FA appeal)

Raptors - didn’t tank for Kawhi

Warriors

Warriors

Cavs - tanked for lebron…13 years prior to this and after he decided to come back.

Warriors

Spurs - didn’t tank for kawhi…did do a quick tank for Timmy but Kawhi was FMVP for this title, and still needed Parker and Manu and the rest.

Miami - tanked for D Wade but won because of FA appeal AND friendships

Miami

Dallas - didn’t tank for Dirk

Lakers - didn’t tank for Kobe

Lakers

Celtics - didn’t tank

So 3 of these past title winners won with of FA appeal (LA, Mia x 2) and the rest did not tank, I’d give you 1 if you count that spurs title. So 4 out of the last 16 title winners match your description 😂 God forbid you check stuff before calling other people idiots lol

OKC didn’t tank for their best player, Presti however is next level exec, so they continue rolling with high picks, and he obv has ownership backing to do it.

Wake me up when Minny wins something.

Where does it say NBA? That was the 2nd best performance in sports since 1995!

Edit: it doesn’t even say sports smdh

2nd best performance since 1995, gj Yak!

Forget about us, this makes no sense for Detroit.

I got banned from r/nba for calling a sixers fan a bitch
