He needs to get the ball to Parker in space. Most of the games I watch of Milwaukee, they have zero space and then add shytty entry passes. I will say they have defensively improved starting Mayo at Point.
Yeah that's because Kidd has got him standing in the corners on most of their sets (waiting for scraps), and Middleton is the only one really stretching the floor. It's ugly basketball when you've got Monroe, Parker, MCW and Giannis all working within a stone's throw of each other.

raps are probably gonna end up with kieff.

our playoff hopes depend on the health of demarre. if he can avoid falling apart, we're gonna be in finals contention for the next few years.

not sure if mlse (our owners) will be willing to foot this payroll though. biyombo will likely be opting out this summer (5/25 maybe) and lowry will also definitely opt out next summer (age 31) and try for his last big contract (5/75?)

lowry (12M) / demar (25M) / demarre (15M) / markieff (8M) / jv (15M) = 75M
cojo (7M) / ross (11M) / johnson (3M) / 2pat (6M) / biyombo (5M) = 32M
scola (1M) / powell (1M) / bruno (1M) / nogiera (1M) / wright (1M) = 7M (not sure about exact value of rookie deals so just rounded up)

110M payroll for 2016-2017, gonna be a cavs level luxury tax bill. and this is before lowry re-ups for an extension the year after.

owners will man, they know firsthand if raptors arent good the arena will be empty

Is Blake Griffen being black balled? I noticed they didn't show any of his dunk contest highlights and he was one of the best ever...Also sudden trade rumors etc....

Is it something more to that fight stuff?

Ain't no one think he had one of the best dunk contests ever. That guy robbed three other people just because they needed to get that Kia car plug. :dahell:

but they didn't show any of his moves and he was a past winner....Just seems odd to me plus he is one of the faces of the league...And legit the last good player to actually win outside of the gawd wall.

One of his tweets was shown on the ticker at the bottom of the screen during the Dunk Contest
