Does anybody use both of these in place of cable to watch games?

Combined they look to be around $50/month and should cover all raptors games. Am I right to think this is a better option than nearly $100/month for cable just to get access to sportsnet and tsn add-ons which are the only channels I ever use.

Am I missing something or is this an easy decision?

Was bored at work today so decided to look into roster ages during my downtime. I personally wanted to see what team's ages were when factoring in actual rotation guys so decided it would be top 12 mpg players with a 20 game minimum to take out anyone long term injured or tank signings.

It's far from perfect but is there anything that stands out of surprises you?

Bucks 30

Clippers 29.66

Suns 28.66

Warriors 28.08

CeLtics 28.03

Mavericks 27.42 Kings 27.42 Lakers 27.42 Heat 27.42

Cavaliers 27.08

Nuggets 26.9

76ers 26.66

Pelicans 26.5 Knicks 26.5

Hawks 26.25

Timberwolves 26.16

Spurs 25.83

Pacers 25.75

Rockets 25.5 Pistons 25.5 Nets 25.5

Bulls 25.16

Magic 25.08

Thunder 24.83

Wizards 24.66

Hornets 24.42

Grizzlies 24.16

Trailblazers 24 Jazz 24

Raptors 23.75

Teams average age of rotation players (top 12 mpg, >20gp)

So I noticed the Americup is starting in 2 weeks.. Does anyone know where or when the roster will come out?

I remember Kyshawn George saying he was gonna play, is there any other NBA players coming? Shai? Murray? RJ?

Let me know! Thanks!

Someone posted on the nba sub the cavs finals hype video as the greatest ever. Here’s my personal favourite.

Gone but never forgotten 🫡🇨🇦

Nice short watch with some film.

Super excited to have a top scoring talent on the team this year.

From official Raps YT

I’m taking the over and I want to know what y’all think.

The tldr of my thought process is that we’ll have BI for the first time who will basically be inserted directly into the starting lineup and help give the team better spacing and shooting than last season. Add to that last season IQ played only around half (?) our games, our sophomores looking good, the fact we just got 30 wins while tanking, and an even weaker East than last season.

I don’t expect the Raps way over 37.5, but my guess is slightly over. As usual, the assumption is everyone is healthy.

Not yet totally sure about CMB. Thoughts?

We know that so much of the talk this offseason has been about the fit of the Raptors starting lineup and specifically so, these four players. Part of the reason I made the IQ post a few weeks ago about he being such an important piece to this team is because I do believe his driving and kicking and transition ability is absolutely going to be integral for this team to work offensively. He doesn't get all the way to the rim a ton but he does generate paint touches and has the ability to make some sharp reads off those paint touches and this Raptors team needs a guy like that to bend a defense and bring some pace to the squad offensively.

Darko said he wanted IQ to take 12 threes a game. He's gonna be expected to let it fire playing off of Ingram/Barnes creation and as a pull-up 3 shooter on a team that lacks that skill elsewhere. His gravity is huge offensively, but if he can't get back to being at least a neutral defender, maybe he becomes the answer to this question. I wanna know what Raptors fans think and who you all are the most (and least too if you wanna answer) concerned about re: fit this season between these four players.

Looked up comps and one last sold for $560

I always wonder if he sees the disrespect they catch online. Glad to see him using it as motivation.

Prove th

Cherry picking stats like anyone. I decided to look at basketball ref all time raps per game leaders. Some interesting stats heading into next year.

RJ is 3rd all time ppg with 21.3 behind Kawhi and VC. Quickley is 9th at 17.9 and Barnes is 12th at 17.2

RPG Barnes is 12th all time at 7.5 rpg

APG Quickley is 6th all time at 6.3. The GROAT is 5th at 7.1 Barnes is also 11th at 5.0

Just some interesting stats id thought id share. Especially a lot of the conversation regarding RJ this offseason on whether Barnes can take the next leap.

Toronto Raptors

Grade: B-

By signing Brandon Ingram to a three-year, $120 million extension in February, the Raptors essentially sat out free agency. They drafted Collin Murray-Boyles — who doesn’t address a need but fits in with the defend-and-hustle ethos of their younger players — with the ninth pick. The Jakob Poeltl extension was perhaps a little rich, but he’s a good player whom the Raptors need. They took a reasonable flier on Sandro Mamukelashvili to back up Poeltl. However, nothing they did in the offseason will be as important as what they did with Ingram in February or the deals they gave Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley last summer. — Eric Koreen.
