If you know me at all. you'd know that I'm one of the biggest critics of the trump administration on these boards.

UnkNuk Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 I don't follow basketball all that closely so this may be old news to many here but I thought it was interesting: Magic, Michael, LeBron ... Emoni Bates? Meet the 15-Year-Old Next in Line He’s a typical high school sophomore and a once-in-a-generation talent. He’s the pride of Ypsilanti, Mich., and the future of the NBA. Not even old enough to drive and likely to be a straight-to-the-NBA No. 1 pick, Emoni Bates is both a product of his era and way ahead of his time. https://www.si.com/high-school/2019/10/29/emoni-bates-nba-draft-prospect-kevin-durant?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=New Campaign&utm_term=SI Extra - USE THIS - List Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurn Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Eli Pasquale has passed away at 59 yrs old. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/sports/news/two-time-olympian-and-canadian-basketball-hall-of-famer-eli-pasquale-dies-at-59/ar-AAJTCyT?ocid=spartandhp " © Provided by Canadian Press Enterprises Inc Canadian Basketball Hall of Famer Eli Pasquale, a two-time Olympian who played at four world championships over his career, has died. He was 59. Pasquale, a native of Sudbury, Ont., died Monday from cancer, Canada Basketball said in a release. Pasquale led Canada to a fourth-place finish at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. He returned to the Games four years later in Seoul and helped Canada to a sixth-place showing. "Canada has lost one of its greatest athletes," former teammate Dwight Walton said on Twitter. "A WINNER and a CLASS ACT in every sense of the word. I was PROUD to call him a TEAMMATE and more importantly, a FRIEND. Eli Pasquale has passed away. My sincerest condolences to his Family and Friends. May he Rest in Peace." Pasquale led the University of Victoria to five consecutive national championships from 1980-84. He was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the fifth round of the 1984 NBA Draft and played three pre-season games for the team before being released. He later played pro basketball in Argentina, West Germany and Switzerland. After a five-year absence from the national team, Pasquale returned at age 37 to play in the 1997 Tournament of the Americas, helping Canada qualify for the 1998 world championship. "It's a sad day for basketball in our country," Charlotte Hornets assistant coach and former Canadian national team coach/player Jay Triano said. "We were backcourt mates and travelled the world together for eight years as the starting backcourt for our national team. Today really hurts as I have lost a friend and a teammate." Pasquale, who represented Canada at the Pan Am Games on two occasions, was inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in 2003. He is survived by wife Karen, sons Isiah and Manny, brother Vito, sister Luciana and mother Adriana. Funeral arrangements were pending. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 5, 2019. The Canadian Press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi+Raps > Kawhi+Clipps He wanted to go home but his best chance to win was with the Raps imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Clipps are in a better position to win it all this year but I meant if Kawhi had stayed in Toronto his teammates and coach are better than what he has in LA right now. The Raptors are off to a great start and it's mostly been without Lowry and Ibaka. I think they have a realistic chance of making the finals again. Oh and Lebron > Kawhi.

Stihlman65 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Ya the Clippers lost last night in SA,Kawhi's second return there since the trade.Again he got boo'd and jeered all game which ended up with a ten point loss. Kinda feel bad for Kawhi,people in SA should get over it,the guy's a class act. At least we know he will be received here as a hero when the Clipps come to Toronto on the 11th.

Stihlman65 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) Question for all us Raptors-Canucks fans.Which shot was bigger for you guys,considering there both the biggest shot's in both franchises history...Kawhi's miracle buzzer beater shot game seven against Philly last year , OR Burrows shot in OT game seven,off the penalty bench to Slay the Dragon in 2011? For me Kawhi,s shot was bigger just from how the whole season went,and how far this win resonated across the whole country. But what Burrows did,was just as clutch. Sure miss those days.

Oh and Lebron > Kawhi. well i was referring to george and he just returned the clips are a very deep team solidly constructed and extremely defensively minded the rap young guys are developing extremely quickly man did the raps draft well (or perhaps there was a bit of luck involved) kind of hard to believe pascal is coming on so fast and the team has very committed, disciplined, high iq players before kahwi they seemed to lack that character i think he mentored many of them well so if he does the same to the clips i think they will be the better team and george is better then lowry who was 2nd to kahwi last season but yeah the raps are a very good story this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having no big name superstars, they have amazing depth much like the Sixers in the East. The Jazz got trounced by 25 at the hands of the Lakers on the 2nd night of a b2b. Utah was vastly overrated in the West. One of the LA teams is going to win it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
