casimir Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 I guess I never knew (or had completely forgotten) Kelser was the other side of the trade for Vinnie Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddha Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 the 1979 draft sucked after magic went #1. kelser being picked one selection before moncrief does hurt though. third best player in that draft? late 3rd round pick bill laimbeer.

Shout out to 165th overall pick Charles Jones for carving out a 15 year career and making over $3M doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Oh heck, this is fun. Charles Jones and all three of his NBA playing brothers Caldwell, Major, and Wil played at Albany State University, although not at the same time. Don’t believe me? Look it up yourself.

casimir Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 9 hours ago, Deleterious said: It was speculated that his right knee was the culprit based on his reaction, but it never appeared that he really hit it against anything or tweaked it out of place or anything like that when he hit the barrier. I don't recall anything with his foot, but I was looking at the knees to see if there was anything to see. The fact that he went right to the locker room on his meant was a bit worrisome. Well, so much for getting the front line back together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 Good to see them fight back and make a game of it, but just not good enough tonight. Some sloppy play, especially early on, that winds up costing them in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betrayer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 The Raptors are just so long and athletic and they play like every possession matters. Second half lineup with some athleticism (Ivey, Hami, Duren) was able to make a run, but it wasn't enough in the end. Ivey took over in the 4th and if anyone could hit a shot (Bogey missed a ton of open threes), Pistons could've taken this one. Sad to see Stew get hurt right when they tried him at the PF next to another big man. I really wanted to see that lineup for a few games.

RandyMarsh Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Speaking of big men I dont know how he has been defensively but offensively looking at the stat sheet he's been pretty impressive and efficient and that's Bol Bol for Orlando. I was a little disappointed when the trade fell through cause I thought he had some potential and it appears he is hitting it. At the very least his length wouldve been of some use for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that was eye opening. Surely that had an effect resulting in some of the Piston turnovers early on. They might have seen scouting of it, but not sure they were prepared for it on the floor.
