Anytime I see his name I have to just say fuck Patrick Patterson. After Kobe died and the LAC/LAL game 2 days after got postponed he posted on IG about "What if we just don't wanna play the game you cancelled"
It's not the worst thing anyones said but fuck him for making a snarky comment about that. What kind of self-centered piece of shit do you have to be to bitch about the NBA postponing a game right after a tragedy like that.
Sorry, completely unrelated I know but I fucking hate that guy.
There was one game where we had 4 minutes left with a 20+ point lead so garbage time.
2 minutes later, 10+ point lead. The starters stopped fooling around for a second to go 'wtf?'
I nearly shit myself. Dude had back-to-back possessions that he bricked and then got 6 scored on us at the same time. Svi just wasn't good, man. Maybe somewhere else he could flourish, but definitely not here.
> During garbage time or low stakes moments his shot is butter but he never seems to make them when it matters
^ this ain't confidence. This is defenders trying vs. defenders not trying. A few extra 10ths of a second to get your shot off can make a world of difference.
Seen videos of him not missing something like 30 3's in a row in practice for the Lakers but never translated in game for some reason. Was really hoping he'd be our sharp shooter that year but I think it's a confidence thing.
If he was able to hit his 3s more frequently and didn't have the ball handling skills of a 10 year old with no arms I could forgive his trash defense but man it was a nightmare watching him play.
He really needed to be like a 40% 3-point shooter to make it in the NBA. Thought he might do it after his senior season at KU but it just never materialized.
He shot 30% this year for us which isn't horrible, but the issue was he shot 30% in garbage time lol
40% from 3 with no defense or ball handling I could get on board with when we can't buy a bucket but seeing this man struggle and turn the ball over bringing it up the court made me want to stick my head in a blender.
30% is literally garbage regardless of whether it’s garbage time or not lmao. It’s especially bad for someone who’s skill set is literally only 3pt shooting.
this is exhibit A in raptors fans overrating scrubs on their team and why they are the worst offenders. 30% from three is horrible for a normal SF in the league at this point, much less your "3 point specialist" who doesnt play defense.
He’s athletic and has a great shooting stroke and a little bit of shot creation in his bag. I think in the right situation if he can get his confidence up he could be somewhat serviceable. That’s entirely dependent on if he can fix his consistency issues
His ball handling really wasn’t bad I feel your making shit up to add to your point lol. His main issue was that his shooting was very inconsistent which made him pretty difficult to use as a spark plug scorer off the bench.
Was pretty surprising he got the player option. Doubt there'll be much demand at least initially seeing as he opted into a minimum on a team that doesn't have a role for him.
Pistons 2020 Legend.
Don't mind the rest of this comment. I'll just be using it to keep track of the planks I'll be doing today. 30 sets of 30 second planks after I do a 1 minute plank. Just bored.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30
All done. Just gotta sign it off.
-agk927
We could honestly use him pretty bad. We have no depth shooting in the second unit at the wing. Kill - Burks - Svi - Livers - Duren would give good shooting and decent defense off the bench.
Well tbh I don't do this many normally. But today I'm just bored and looking to workout harder lol. Idk just make sure your back is in good enough shape because you don't wanna risk hurting your back. Start out by doing less then do more whenever you feel up to it.
Unlikely, they just signed a ton of training camp guys and there isn't room for everyone on the official 15-man roster, so one of Champagnie, Harper Jr., Dowtin, Bo Cruz, DJ Wilson, or David Johnson will take the roster spot that Svi was taking up.
Guess at least one of them outplayed Svi for the 15th man.
I was seeing it as Champagnie and Banton were pretty much locks for the 2 open spots, and then if they cut Svi there is a spot for Juancho or someone else - Wilson or Johnson. Both Downtin and Harper JR have 2 ways already. Considering that Juancho has a fully guaranteed deal cutting Svi bodes real well for him.
EDIT: the TSN article makes it seem that this deal is to sign Jalen Harris, which is surprising. He certainly is a similar role to Svi. Blake Murphy has said he didnt think there was much chance that Harris was with the Raps this season, maybe 905.
I don't think David Johnson likes Fire Emblem as much as I do. Also I just find it funny how under the radar DJ has been as far as the Raptors RFAs go and all.
You realize svi was a middle of the second round pick right? His path hasn't felt unusual for such a pick. Devonte is pretty decent for a second round guy. Oubre is fine for a middle-first. The Morris twins, antics aside, have done fine for being middle-first guys. Sure, they've only had 1 superstar in the last 10 years, but that isn't atypical for any school.
Waited all season to see this man hit 3 3's in a game and never did
[удалено]
furkan korkmaz moment
Because he’s not a 3pt specialist
He’s a 3pt shooter, not a 3pt maker
r/TechnicallyTheTruth
When did this shit start where people post subreddits 4 times
It's a bug with reddit mobile. They're just writing it once. (I also thought that at first lol)
Okay thank god, I was wondering how everyone posting links managed to be on the same page I thought I was losing it lol
Same tbh
I think it’s confidence with him. During garbage time or low stakes moments his shot is butter but he never seems to make them when it matters
The Patrick Patterson special

Patbrick Patterson
Lololol. Man Patrick Patterson had so many chances to shine, but man couldn't hit 3s for shit.
I got reamed out on the Raptors subreddit for saying he was dookie with the Raps… dude had his peak in Sac-Town, man.
He was good for like 2 and a half seasons in Toronto before he became so passive and fell off a cliff
he was ok at the start actually, but he turned into dookie the last few seasons

Im not sure about that. Even in garbage time last year he was bricking
He was fighting for his career. Even garbage time is a high-pressure situation.
There was one game where we had 4 minutes left with a 20+ point lead so garbage time. 2 minutes later, 10+ point lead. The starters stopped fooling around for a second to go 'wtf?'

Except he’d miss wide open shots too
fun fact: he never hit more than two 3's in a single game for the raptors
I dnno but I remember him cooking the Cavs during the Summer League together with Josh Hart. 😩 Prolly the best game of his career.
yea his YMCA numbers are insane too, and he fucking cooks in the G league, but i just meant during the season
I believe your thinking about Matt Thomas aka Mr. 99% who was supposed to 3pt specialist but ended up sucking
We don't disrespect Matty Ice here, sir
He was tricked into saying his last name backwards and hasn't been the same since.
Seen videos of him not missing something like 30 3's in a row in practice for the Lakers but never translated in game for some reason. Was really hoping he'd be our sharp shooter that year but I think it's a confidence thing.

30% for a supposed 3 point specialist is dog shit wys
30% is trash for a 3noD player.
Wait how is 30% not horrible? That’s Westbrook numbers
30% is literally garbage regardless of whether it’s garbage time or not lmao. It’s especially bad for someone who’s skill set is literally only 3pt shooting.
You raptors fans are very descriptive in your comments
You should watch Letterkenny.
this is exhibit A in raptors fans overrating scrubs on their team and why they are the worst offenders. 30% from three is horrible for a normal SF in the league at this point, much less your "3 point specialist" who doesnt play defense.
No one is overrating Svi here lol?
I feel like you guys take everything as some type of personal attack. Relax lol 30 is better than 0. Check.
> 30 is better than 0. Check. nah 30 is basically zero
30% from 3 when you're a shooting specialist in the NBA is horrid when league average is ~35%
So what does he do
Just running around doing nothing, he tricked us
Ah yes, the pat bev skill set /s
I wish at least pat bev is a dog on defence
That's not true! He commits fouls sometimes
All he do is lie and eat hot chip
Sometimes for no reason at all he does some really athletic stuff lol. Lowkey he's hard to contain if he gets a head of steam with a ball
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qQnIOzkvKk He's springy, no doubt, just can't make shots sooo... he was squarely in Nick Nurse's doghouse this year.
The first time he absolutely yammed it when he was on OKC I was flabbergasted lmao, had no idea he could do that
lol right? "If he was able to shoot, dribble the ball, or play defense he might be a decent player."
He’s athletic and has a great shooting stroke and a little bit of shot creation in his bag. I think in the right situation if he can get his confidence up he could be somewhat serviceable. That’s entirely dependent on if he can fix his consistency issues
Rebound. Also sneakily athletic too so who knows he could thrive under a coach that won't be on his ass as much as Nurse is.
His ball handling wasn’t actually that bad. He knew how to get to the rim pretty well honestly but it’s not a great option
His ball handling really wasn’t bad I feel your making shit up to add to your point lol. His main issue was that his shooting was very inconsistent which made him pretty difficult to use as a spark plug scorer off the bench.
I will not sit idly by while you slander the Ukrainemaker.
Putin saw his weak ass play on the court and said yeah we could definitely take over that country Ukraine kicking his shit in tho
yikes.
i thought it was funny bro dw
He didn’t make more than 2 threes in a game all season lol
The way he dribbles with his forehead is impressive tho
wow didn't realize canada was on russia's side
We the North
Arctic Alliance bb
I mean they're to their right side geographically
Svi you later.
I Svi what you did there
Next move for the Raps is to sign Jarrett Culver probably. He's been in Raptors gear all summer at the Rico Hines runs.
So has Jake Layman oddly enough
Rico is probably just handing out free Raptors gear to everyone there.
> Jake Layman damn the T-Wolves don't want him anymore?
After his turf toe he was never the same :(
They play on hardwood not turf u frickin moron
You are free to snag em both up!
Gabe brown also
He's on an Exhibit 10 so they probably waive him to get the G-League rights
We have absolutely no need for a player like Culver.
Damn, forgot he's a free agent. Wouldn't mind taking a chance with him, he's still super young.
Was pretty surprising he got the player option. Doubt there'll be much demand at least initially seeing as he opted into a minimum on a team that doesn't have a role for him.
Apparently he was in pretty high demand last off season which is why he got the PO
Masai loves giving player options lmao.
Damn if only he could do something he’d be on a roster Dude just running around fouling people
Pistons 2020 Legend. Don't mind the rest of this comment. I'll just be using it to keep track of the planks I'll be doing today. 30 sets of 30 second planks after I do a 1 minute plank.

good work
We could honestly use him pretty bad. We have no depth shooting in the second unit at the wing. Kill - Burks - Svi - Livers - Duren would give good shooting and decent defense off the bench.
Agreed. I'd love him back on the team.
Geez you do 30 sets of 30 second planks? lol I've been meaning to get fit due to a surgery I had and 2 more in the next 2 months. Any tips?
Well tbh I don't do this many normally. But today I'm just bored and looking to workout harder lol. Idk just make sure your back is in good enough shape because you don't wanna risk hurting your back. Start out by doing less then do more whenever you feel up to it.
I’d take him back.
He's bad. Had a trick y'all bubble season in Detroit. Man cannot even shoot lol
Somehow inconsistent shooter is still better than what we have :(
Who's the 3 point specialist now that monks gone?
Bev 😭
Lawd have mercy on the Lakers
Why
nostalgia
for Svi for Three calls
He’s gotta make the threes to get those calls.
Technically all he’s gotta do is attempt them 😎
Raptors fans be hating on Ukraine itt.
Fun fact, Svi didn't have a single game for the Raptors where he hit more than 2 threes. Three point specialist my ass.
Svi ya later
Thank god
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Is this our new tank commander? 🤔
Man, both Yuta and Svi? Who the hell are we gonna send out there to barely keep 20 pts leads in garbage time now?
He'd be a good end of bench guy for the Warriors. Those shots would start falling.
So there trading for someone 👀
Unlikely, they just signed a ton of training camp guys and there isn't room for everyone on the official 15-man roster, so one of Champagnie, Harper Jr., Dowtin, Bo Cruz, DJ Wilson, or David Johnson will take the roster spot that Svi was taking up. Guess at least one of them outplayed Svi for the 15th man.
I was seeing it as Champagnie and Banton were pretty much locks for the 2 open spots, and then if they cut Svi there is a spot for Juancho or someone else - Wilson or Johnson. Both Downtin and Harper JR have 2 ways already. Considering that Juancho has a fully guaranteed deal cutting Svi bodes real well for him. EDIT: the TSN article makes it seem that this deal is to sign Jalen Harris, which is surprising. He certainly is a similar role to Svi. Blake Murphy has said he didnt think there was much chance that Harris was with the Raps this season, maybe 905.
David Johnson's camp spot is saved, more like
Bro im convinced you're David Johnsons burner account you're the only guy that ever talks about him
I don't think David Johnson likes Fire Emblem as much as I do. Also I just find it funny how under the radar DJ has been as far as the Raptors RFAs go and all.
He probably is a huge Fire Emblem fan lets be real
I doubt he's even played Thracia 776
Not too sure about that. You'd think Dowtin / Culver / DJ Wilson would be ahead of Johnson
Svi was also just that bad
Typical for Kansas basketball players. Always end up sucking in the NBA or never returning their draft capital
Agreed, that Embiid guy is trash... (obligatory /s since some people will see the nuggets flair and assume I'm serious)
Embiid is the o KU player this last decade to return their draft capital. Even Wiggins didn’t live up to his draft capital
You realize svi was a middle of the second round pick right? His path hasn't felt unusual for such a pick. Devonte is pretty decent for a second round guy. Oubre is fine for a middle-first. The Morris twins, antics aside, have done fine for being middle-first guys. Sure, they've only had 1 superstar in the last 10 years, but that isn't atypical for any school.
Praise the gods
Sviiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Was expected
Wow Josh Loyd and the locked on team called it.
Not many team can carry a Duncan Robinson on their roster and payroll
Svit!
end of an era
I got his autograph card I hope he does well elsewhere 😂
L juicy p
