Its funny cus he was known as an offensive coach when he started and the media portrayed losing casey would be detrimental to our defense...... About that
I still Tim Liewieke was the best thing that happened for all of Toronto Sports, and because of him...we got Masai and because of that trickle down effect it got us the Cup, and even before that the TFC cup. I love that man so much, and is one of the reasons I wouldnt' be shocked when Kraken makes some good noises as well, that man has an eye for talent well above and beyond.
I remember when OG and Siakam were just starting out, I loved watching OG play from day 1 and thought he had more potential. Of course I'm just a casual fan so my opinion doesn't mean much and so far looks like I was wrong but it's not over yet and I think it's still possible that OG gets to Pascal's level.
I agree with you completely, not really interested in the Leafs individual awards nor how they are do until the playoffs come frankly. It's how I've been with the dodgers as well after a while too, winning divisions and player awards meant nothing to me or a lot of the fans and friends who i grew up with because we were all expecting results in the playoffs, no more no less. It was very exciting and fun when we saw finally the win for the world series lol.Interesting thoughts.
Funny how I really don't care about individual awards for the Leafs. I mean Matthews got the rocket, good for him but I really don't care. The Raptors though are a completely different story and I would LOVE to see OG win most improved player. I guess it's because they've had team success in the playoffs, once you've had that then the gravy on top is enjoyable but if the team hasn't has success, then who cares. That's me anyway, just my 2 cents.
So if we get OG to be Siakam level that would great, and also bad for them potentially because knowing Masai will use them as great trade chips to bring potentially another superstar if we don't build one from within
and he'll just continue why we never doubt masai, even if he is not scoring he'll be solid playing defense.
yea it's pretty bad and I think was getting comparison to anthony bennett level....however, he was injured in the summer league so I think he'll bounce back.
the funny thing to me is hes got more trips to the line tonight than scottie has all year im pretty sure, and scottie scores nearly all his points in the paint.
I'm just glad scottie is showing the confidence this early tbh. It's so damn refreshing, energizing and contagious when he shows his furor after a bucket or a block. Freaking love it.
It's a cold shooting start for sure. He was an efficient shooter in college though so I expect his efficiency to improve dramatically soon.
ye most of the rookies its been brick city though, not just him. its just that his bad shooting to start his career might be one of the worst if not the worst ever for a 1st overall pick lol. mobley and scottie(the 2 they said had prob the least effective offense in the high lottery picks) are doing the best by far lol
Yeah it's been tough for Cade. The Pistons truly are a garbage org. On the other hand it's funny how fast Scottie seems to have developed a passable scoring touch. His athleticism, rim protection, playmaking, length and intensity would have made him a useful player anyways, his shot improving so quickly is a revelation for this team. Masai had one lottery pick and he drafts a potential Pippen/Magic hybrid lol.
My condolences to you for living through that utter bs. God I hated what happened with Keon and was relieved we were able to go fix it at least, I wasn't around for any of that, but he's still one of my favorites and was so damn happy.Lucky indeed! I lived through the Leafs during the Ballard era which was a nightmare, the Masai era Raptors are basically the opposite of that.
