Toronto might break the Clippers record tomorrow. That's how awful this team is right now. Rock Bottom until Collins comes back. Raptors 154-Hawks 102 tomorrow.

Trae is really, really bad right now. Its fair to call a spade a spade. He hasn't had an actual good game since Denver. He's also had large stretches of better play. I guess this is going to become Beware the Ides of November.

It's an inadvertent tank at this point...you could see early in the season, the ways for them to be mediocre but the margin of error was too small as they chose to stay in on developing instead of even trying by signing some good veterans. It'll get better later but by the time they're back, this team is going to be completely buried. Two straight Novembers to forget. Disappointed in Collins.

If Hunter was in the mode he had been just a week or so ago where he wasn't at his best, this is 27+ and already completely done instead of most likely done. Very frustrated with Collins and Young right now.

Yeah he just missed Hunter flash open and was late on that pass.

Two observations. De'Andre Hunter is going to be very good. The FG% isn't quite there right now but he's flashed exactly what I thought, the potential to have a very good FG% because of good shots taken. Second, I'm not liking what Young is doing of late. Hunting assists and hoisting 3's.

Great game by the rookies and not challenging the offensive foul in the 3rd really looks bad.

This has been a fun watch since that TO but in retrospective that foul on the tip dunk really should've been challenged...

We just saw a professional basketball team not be ready for a press. That's crazy.

I did kind of stay here to watch something like this...lol. This is nuts regardless. And yeah, it's fair to call Trae an offensive star. He has rookies that might be good (showing it tonight) and Parker. The ghost of Carter to boot. I guess people think of this as the Booker excuse though.

I did not stay here to watch Vince Carter shoot.

Just get Trae back out of there. You weren't going to win the game with him this time, but maybe you could've made it interesting sticking with Turner/Hunter/Reddish tonight. I will remain here to see what they do for the rest of the night if they get to stay in.

Trae really should not be in here. Come on... I start posting it, and he badly bricks a floater, then an and 1.

Trae doesn't need to come back in this one. I'd just like to see more activity from the rookies here.

Good one so far for the most part. I am hoping that we will look back at this game as the turnaround point for Reddish. At the very least, the point where he first fully showed what he can do. Hunter does not have a good shooting percentage right now, but he had already shown signs.

Keep it going, Reddish.

What's the story of the court design? I liked the city uniforms that I saw but this design just looks totally off.

Who are you starting or even playing lol...unless you triple down on the rookies with everyone hurt. Your center choices are Alex Len, who can't start and maybe made upstairs too optimistic last year, Damian Jones, or Bruno Fernando. Right now with Carter out you don't have much of a choice at PF other than Parker or playing two centers, and Fernando at PF was disastrous. Bembry is a better basketball player then Reddish right now but he can't shoot and is a liability when you go in the half court. Not many choices...upstairs chose to make this another growth year by making rebuilding/tank moves still, which could've surprised but the margin of error was so thin and is gone right now (which is why I've said this is going to be in the tank for a while before it gets better...with people questioning if it's because of teams overlooking again).

7-18 at this point is going to be best case sadly I think.

Honestly at this point, the most likely case is this stays at total rock bottom for at least two more weeks. Then this team is forgotten again because of an awful record and they start surprising teams here and there just like last year after a totally putrid start, especially after Collins' suspension ends. Depending on when, that could still mean an improvement in record but I doubt it on the playoffs now. Really going to have to hold out until the end of the year to say so on everybody.

Unreal This team is already handicapped at the moment and the refs made sure to make it to where there wasn't even a chance at it being a game.

Alright, enough for me. Staying with the end of TNF.

Just don't get the officiating at all here. They're buying all the flopping. Reddish is pretty brutal rn outside of defensively but if that's a flagrant (and his other was...uh), you might as well start playing two hand touch.

Let Young give it a try for a few minutes, if it's not there, forget it.

There just isn't really going to be much floor spacing on the floor without Huerter either way. Absolutely brutal injury.
