T.O.
I get it to a certain extent, he does make a ton of subtle winning plays but he does look like he's fallen off and certainly doesn't look like the team's best player anymore. I still think he's a better playmaker than Derozan (who's growing in that aspect) so that could be part of it.he

I was recently looking at on/off numbers and for the first time Derozan has a better on/off rating then him.

There are plenty of nights, like tonight in the 3rd quarter where he looks like shyt and then Delon comes in and the Raptors go on a run.

Without checking the numbers the biggest drop off to me has been his defense,he cant keep anybody in front of him anymore and alot of times he doesnt even try too,instead hoping someone will bail him out at the rim...and thats Delons plus...When he came in tonight he was creating havoc in the passing lanes....if he only had a consistent jumper...

Can somebody breakdown the protection on the Laker's pick for me?

If they get the 1st Pick it goes to Philly
If it falls 2-5 it goes to Boston...
Do they keep it if it falls out of top 5?

Mavs been pretty good lately. Could sneak into the playoffs lowkey
They better not! And we've been solid all season, definitely not as bad as the record suggests. We just suck in late game situations, as you saw today. Most teams would've taken that clock down as low as they could, we left 17 sec on the clock

I'm tired of commentators and NBA writers acting shocked Patrick Patterson has been trash this season. He was trash last year too but they talk like he was gonna go to OKC and turn into Draymond. :what:

Commentators and writers don't really watch games like they claim to

NBA bloggers wrote about analytics and how much better the Raps were with him on the floor, just watch him play and you'll know how bad he was

He couldn't box anyone out, couldn't rebound and couldn't hit an open shot but supposedly they were better with him on the floor :beli:

Pat was an absolute moron, got hammered with a bunch of persian thots and recorded himself drinking shots of absinthe on snapchat hours after the Raps were eliminated from the playoffs. He missed his exit interview with the team. Breh's fall off in just one year was :snoop:

It goes to Boston if it's in the 2-5 range, anywhere else and it's Philly.

For Boston, if they don't get the Lakers pick this year then they get the Kings pick next year unless it goes #1 which Philly will get
