It’s somewhat unfortunate that Norman Powell fouled out of this game with a minute to go in regulation. Not only because the circumstances of the foul were questionable (he was pushed before he committed the foul), but because he is a certified BUCKS KILLER. I don’t know if it’s because he was part of the…

Norman Powell 14 Points Full Highlights (5/17/2019)
Norman “Bucks Killer” Powell has a long history of killing the Bucks. This is not an unusual phenomenon; every team has a player who just randomly goes of on them all the time for no reason, though the Raptors seem to have more than the league average. Thon Maker (so happy he’s gone he’d probably…

Norman “Normal Powenn” Powell hasn’t really done much in the playoffs so far, but the Raptors are deep enough where it usually doesn’t matter what he does or doesn’t do. There’s not a whole cadre of fans going after him for whatever perceived difficulties the Raptors have faced this series. If anybody’s getting scapegoated, it’s…

Norman Powell is playing well enough this season that I feel comfortable announcing my new nickname for him. This nickname has positive connotations, which means that it can only be applied to Powell when Powell is having a positive impact on the court. This is in contrast to my many nicknames for players that are…

It seems like the Raptors always have somebody on their roster who’s underperforming. Way back when, it was Andrea Bargnani and Rudy Gay. Two seasons ago it was DeMarre Carroll. And maybe Jared Sullinger too (I don’t feel like looking up the timing of that big fat disaster). Last season it was our man Norman…

This is the first year of Norman “Normal Powenn” Powell’s shiny new 4-year, 42 million dollar contract. 10 million dollars per year isn’t looking as bad for him as it did last year, when he was mysteriously sucking really large eggs. The Raptors don’t especially need him to be good, since they have talent in…

Norman “Normal Powenn” Powell has been broken for roughly a year and a half. I don’t know what exactly happened to cause him to break, but whatever it was, it really broke him good. His second year in the league saw him play a large role on a good team, and it only seemed like…

Norman Powell has sucked big-time balls for most of the season up to this point. After being a valuable bench contributor in limited minutes for his first two seasons, the Raptors signed him to a fat 4-year, $42 million extension before this, his third season. And then his confidence turned into balls, his jumpshot turned…

These highlights aren’t really as good as I thought they’d be. That was what I was thinking throughout the whole process. Like, isn’t Norman Powell supposed to exciting and great and awesome? Raptors fans, those liars, led me to believe that he is a premiere young talent in the league. This video says otherwise. Yeah,…

According to the precepts of a shadowy and ill-understood branch of learning called “mathematics”, I have determined that, had Dwane Casey played his normal rotation, with Norman Powell receiving 0 minutes, the Raptors would have lost to Bucks in regulation. I’m not going to go too deep into how I came to this conclusion; such…
