    While true, our team is not this either so it'll all balance out.

    Just enjoying it whilst knowing reality of the future and the changes that will have to be made.

    While tanking is the right option, it's still fun to have these games.

    Watford’s a smart player. Defends real well.

    Playing like this will boost the value of our tradeable assets.

    Also true. We need to do the tanking after the deadline, I agree.

    ;) I know you didnt say that but I felt the need to lol.

    Jody cares about money. If she thinks she can sell hope with the way they’re playing I can see the directive shift.

    The only negative we have gave up 6 offense rebounds but besides that both units playing extremely well at both ends.

    Billups has his issues (timeout management aka stotts MO) but the future for him as a coach has some bright spots. People judging him 2 games in did make me giggle though.

    actually billionaires usually think less about money than anyone else does usually. She's just unloaded half a billion in Paul's properties...I'd say she can afford new socks

    Not the right option at all these players with new coach, gm, deserve a shot win and help their value.

    Raptors are shooting 20% from the field. Velcro defense.

    Raptors are 6-4 in last 10. And VanVleet is favorite to make the All Star game. This is a very impressive performance by us so far. Did we luck out that we’re playing a road game without fans?
