[Tremendous Upside]

It's looking like Keyonte may have lost his starting position.

Depends if we're trying to win or lose. Who knows at this point.

Right now all advanced metrics say Keyonte is a very bad player. So if he reclaims his job, we know what path we're on.

Was deleted, what did it say?

It was a picture of the Raptor Bench with the players looking like shell-shocked zombies. That team is not making it through the trade deadline.

I know it's JazzAvenues job but I decided to open one of my Christmas present quotes early:

"We had zero answers offensively once Kessler got real minutes anchoring their zone. No idea why he didn't start and saw so few minutes in the first half."

Agreed.

I couldn't watch much of the game but you cannot start Collins and Olynyk together in the frontcourt as a regular thing. You might get away with it against the Pistons but defensively that frontcourt will get torched by most teams.

What a bull load of **** that game was!!

Damnit!!!

Yep! This is about to become a total waste of the season if we aren't careful with zero rookie development and rather than selling off vets we go for the play in.

Will David Hume be weighing in?

Unfortunately, a dinner party hosted by me and my wife prevented indirect observation of the contest on this device you call a "TV." Nor could I observe directly, for I do not dwell in Toronto, although it is a nice colony. I shall endeavor to watch the game indirectly on "TV" today.

Dunn was great in the 4th after being doody for most of the game.

Good God shut up. We have been starting a rookie. THT/Sexton are still incredibly young and getting minutes. Lauri is still developing. Stop with this wasted season BS

Honestly I'd almost rather get the 10th pick in this upcoming draft and take Kevin McCullar than lying to myself about how good Matias Buzelis can be in 4 years.

I think I would rather convey the pick this year

We are really, really close to having this happen.
