“‘Generally, I’d score most of their episodes as being in the four star range. However, their Future Rankings Show (March 23/22) indicated - at least in my mind - a lack of research/preparation on the part of the two hosts. Specifically, I could not include the Toronto Raptors in your top 5 or in the honourable mentions? Since Masai took the helm starting in ’14/15 season the Raps have been amongst the winningest teams in the league include an NBA championship in 2019. And guess what? Masai still has another 4 years left on the contract he signed in mid-21. And, hey, I’d think you’d agree he also I hired a pretty good darn good coach in Nick Nurse back in ’18/19. And, guess what? Nurse is still coaching the Raptors. And, arguably last summer drafted a guy, Scottie Barnes, who could be Giannis’ equal in three years time, maybe sooner. Pascal is back playing a third team All NBA guy. And, is there a better floor general in the league than Freddie V? Oh, and I did I forget that OG is probably among the five best shut down wings (ask Jason Tatum) in the league? Trent, who is only 23, is a good shooter and ballhawk. And, Precious. ‘Don’t laugh. David Thorpe who knows a thing or two about the game had Precious amongst his honourable mentions regarding most improved players in the game. Even at age 22, he’s one of the better bigs at getting out and covering the perimeter. Boucher isn’t too shabby a sixth man, either. Funny, you guys regard them (per one of your episodes) as one of the better organizations in the league, but they got nary a mention amongst the best teams during the next five years.”
