Big shout out to the posters who begged and pleaded for Toronto to trade us Siakam for Ibaka. I remember you guys from a few years ago. I didn't have a clue although i correctly predicted Ross. That guy is a beast.

I swear Vucevic is just hanging his shoulders, it's all confidence. Can we hire a super model to give him some during halftime? Fournier is just same old guy, he is meant to be a bench player. He just does better when the chips are down at the end of games and in limited minutes. Crazy shot by Ross......stadium is pumped!

Deapool music playing--------HOLY ****BALLS!

Wow, we claw back within one and Vucevic and Fournier ......grrrrrr Get going guys!

Eh this game is gonna stay close, i'm happy. Vucevic is good player, he should just be a 3rd wheel, we have said it for years. His confidence must be very low. We all make mistakes when stressed. Needs a poster dunk to get it back.

I have not posted here near as long as you guys, but i lurked for a long time. Any chance someone else is posting on his account? So old. Think i'm going to block him. Is this not the guy who was banned 2 years ago? I forget.

Man i wish Fournier had the fire Ross has. Fournier has better ball handling skills, is a better passer and drives to the hoop well sometimes. And somehow he shows no ability to do these things on semi regular basis. This is why we hate him.

OMG did MCW disrespect a few refs daughters or something? We are getting screwed! Also seems like one of our free agents is playing knowing he is staying and another is halfway out the door. Guess who?

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooordoooooooooooooooon!

Wow defense is killing us, it's weird. Time to start buckling down. Good shots needed. No more turnovers!

Vucevic needs a headband.

It feels like we are going to lose one of the two. It also seems like we have to replace them with the mid-level exception. It's really too early go through the salary cap gymnastics of free agency, so i won't. Now that we have had some success it's time to start clearing out the chaff and bring in players who have done something in this league. Spurs are a good example. We tried to get a player like Aldridge or Milsap and failed. No choice there. We haven't tried enough for a good scoring veteran like Gay or a second round gem like White. It's about time we either get lucky or get smart in the next two years and find our complimentary players.

I can think of plenty of examples where a rookie plays meaningful minutes. Not even using a lottery pick, look at Landry Shamet this year. Drafted number 26, played well in Philly, playing even better on the clippers. He is useful because he can shoot!

I really do not want another project. I hope they draft a guy that can shoot right now even if he has a low ceiling. Also i can easily seer the Magic taking a PF or Combo wing if one of the skilled guys drops into their range. Can't teach size and the shooting guards in our draft spot seem underwhelming.

Evan can do more then any of our wings, it's mental. Always has been.Talking shooting, defending, dribbling, penetrating.

Seriously, watching the team in November,December and January it's a freaking miracle they are 2 games over .500. Even as recently as those 3 horrible games after the All-star break. When Gordon fouled Markannen at the end of that Bulls game, i got to admit i thought same old team of losers. I'm very happy to be wrong. Big ups to everyone for finishing strong. Congrats to Ross, Vucevic and especially DJ. for having career years. Slow clap for Issac and Gordon for improving and love the direction from Clifford and We-Ham. I didn't see what they were trying to do. It's fantastic!

Was a joke bro. Let's go magic!

Told you he wasn't playing! Looks like we have to win.

He is not playing.

Remember this in the off season guys. The Toronto posters said it, Lowe says it, most NBA scouts have said the same thing.

Luke Kennard, Andre Drummond and Ish Smith saving Detroits season. Reggie jackson still sucks!

Exactly! plus i always felt we were the two teams going through the process together! We are also linked by the Dwight/Vucevic trade, and Fultz and Reddick and a whole lot more.It will be infinitely more interesting and also nationally noticed.

So what do we want? Detroit loses tonight and Charlotte and Miami win? Sets up a hell of a night tomorrow.

You are just trolling. As someone who made a similar comment about 30 days ago this is clearly wrong. I can admit my mistakes. Philly is the best match-up for us to possibly get the upset.They can go very cold shooting sometimes and have no depth. They make up for this with defense and interior play.Toronto and Milwaukee have better players and pretty good depth. Toronto is probably who we get, and judging from the regular season we play well against them.I'm still not sure they made the right move getting Gasol. Also Lin and Lowry cannot stay healthy.
