Official Thread : Raptors !

Vince Carter became the first player in NBA history to take the floor in four separate decades.

Atlanta Hawks veteran Carter made history against the Indiana Pacers on Saturday – checking in to a standing ovation.

Carter is in the midst of his record-breaking 22nd NBA season at the age of 42, surpassing Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Willis and Robert Parish.

An eight-time All-Star, Carter has been in the league since 1998 after he was drafted by the Toronto Raptors.

After lengthy stints with the Raptors and the Brooklyn Nets - then the New Jersey Nets - Carter has had short stops with the Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings.

Heading into Saturday's fixture, Carter has been averaging 5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game for the Hawk

Quote:Last second wood for the raps las nite...by my bwoy CARMELO! man am I glad he is back in the NBA and doing well. one of my fave players.

the Raps got beat but look at their team..Only Lowery and Ibaka up on side. the kids had a field day. they played well especially McCaw. that's the way to go now..run the kids, lets see what we got on the bench! we lorse but I like how things going. we playing strong no matter what!

some of the things I noted about teams: Philly

Bad coach Bret Brown...and deh need a real point guard with class and experience to take them home
they need Derek Rose or Chris Paul. they shud go for one of those guys before the trade deadline

Denver
Should be a handful in the playoffs this year. that Doncic guy is really good..and along with Porzhingis make a nice punch
they need a point guard too

The Clippers
They need a hospital to walk with, a whole one, fully functional to deal with their health issues, especially
Leonard. they need a few psychiatrists too..for an emotional lift. they are a sour team!

The Pelicans
a really nice young team with some strong young players coming up. they need a bit of experience to stabilize them,
allow them to win some more games and make the play offs easy

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)
Every now and again, Terence Davis reminds himself that 30 NBA teams passed on him in the 2019 draft.

Davis made the most of his first NBA start with 23 points and 11 rebounds ~

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracke...1_PHI@DAL/

allyuh want to see more professional sports crap..then take a look at Philly 76'ers...a most ridiculously run basketball team from this vantage..rather my vantage.. a country away.

Embiid gets Injured cant play

could be an advantage: Emiid and Simmonds don't mix on that team, they get in each others way..harm Phillies chances: Alone on the floor - opportunity perhaps for Simmonds to make magic on his own leading the team?

It looked that way when immediately Philly blasted Boston Celts. ah I thought..I was right!

last night that same Philly scored all of 91 points, beaten by Dallas by a whopping 18 points. read again...18 points

Philly 76'ers are supposed to be one of two leading contenders to take the East this year..the #1 being Milwaukee. but clearly Philly is very poorly managed and coached. that is their problem.

the management needs to bring in a real experienced professional, capable, scoring point guard, Ben Simmonds can then focus on his defense or play power forward or something..take Simmonds and Embiid out of each others paths to the basket. Chris Paul seems to be the man..or the DeAngelo kid at Golden State the Warriors are always looking to trade. any of those two would likely make Philly the team to beat in the east.

but Philly has had that problem all along and they are not solving it. another problem they are not solving is coaching: their head coach Bret Brown is clearly not up to the job of taking Philly over the top. what and who is responsible when you can blast a top 4 team one night and next night you lose to a weaker team by 18 points..a team missing at least one of its top players? who is responsible for such wild swings in play? it is not that you get beaten so much by a lesser team but how you get beaten..very badly

that most likely is bad coaching..low level coaching unable to keep the team on an even keel, te get a consistent level of play out of he team..relative to the teams real abilities. you are not getting the best out of your team every night, not consistent and satisfactory level of play. until somebody proves to me different that's the coaching and in Philly its Bret Brown
