like i said at the deadline, what this team needed was shooting not a player we have like 4 of in thad. we cant win cuz we cant hit shots and we have terrible spacing because nobody on our team(outside of FVV when hes on) can hit a 3 pointer lol

Been a bit of a struggle lately.
The lack of depth on this team is particularly noticeable without Fred and OG.

lack of depth WITH those 2 is noticeable lol, i was shocked we didnt trade for any shooters at the deadline.
this was the risk by playing the starters such such heavy minutes, and never trusting your bench to work through the problems.
the funny thing is now that flynn is getting an actual shot he looks good.
Two awesome wins back to back.
This team is super likable.
Big fan of Banton.
Thad Young pickup looking large right now.
Oh, and Jovic is a chump.

Terrific game by Barnes and Siakam. The bench was really good. How did this team lose to Detroit and Orlando?
I'd love to see the Trent Jr stats when FVV plays and when he doesn't. It just seems to me he does very well when FVV is playing.
Barnes is unreal. Can't believe he good he is already. Also, Achiuwa's shooting seems to be getting better.

Huge weekend, gusty performance by the Raps to beat 2 great teams while not at 100%.

Lose to the Magic and Pistons, beat the Suns and Nugs on the road back to back. Granted they were missing FVV but that's just insane.

Those were impressive wins, especially last night on the 2nd night of a B2B, at altitude and without FVV. And Barnes, what a joy it is to watch him play, the rate he's improving at is amazing!

Didn't notice this until I was checking some stats out last night, Jalen Suggs is the worst player in the NBA according to VORP, Jalen Green is 5th last. Scottie leads all rookies and is #66 overall.

Strange season. Have some duds against bad teams but raise their level against good teams. If they get out of the play in, either by winning it or moving into the top 6, I don't think many teams want to play the Raps in the 1st round.

So imagine actually giving the bench some decent minutes, and they are starting to chip in. Hopefully the trend continues, but knowing Nurse it will be back to 40 minutes for the starters

They are in the play in spot (although that doesnt say much considering the records of other west teams in the play in)
