Toronto Raptors Media Availability | Postgame at Chicago Bulls | October 27, 2023
Players and Coach speaks with the media following the Raptors 104-103 overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday. 00:00 – Darko Rajakovic 03:33 – Scottie Barnes #raptors #TorontoRaptors
Everything was against them, luck and refs. Especially sad to see Derozan playing with an angry vendetta against the Raptors. If the NBA had any balls they would review the tape especially the last 5 minutes and bad refereeing for all of them and they can't be that obvious to be one-sided.
We are 1 Dennis injury from bottom 6 in NBA. FO fail 3 years no credible backup PG. I know they love vision 6’8” (position-less). However, Cs and PGs are different special skills. They need all the bigs CB, PA, JP, PS, maybe Otto or Thad to play some minutes. You will need to save 48 mpg for Dennis and Scottie maybe a little PS here and there. M Flynn is broken and is a third pg at best he really should be overseas. It is not fair to the rest of the teams desires to not have a serviceable backup point since KLow trade. Yes we got Goran who could have fit that but he did not want to. I’m no fan of FVV but this is part of our over reliance on him.
SB is a guy who needs time, like a season, to get this PG role down. He is a player! Don't worry SB. HOWEVER, I do hope he rounds into the PG role sooner, as Flynn… (Fill in the Blank)…. I felt Flynn was better on the bench, and really, I believe he will be even better when he realizes his career will be found in China. He's a good player, but not NBA. Not hating, it's just the truth.
Great game to watch but Raptors give this one away,,,, we need a backup center and PG … Masai wasting time as usual .. for 3 years we need palyers as certain spots and never delivered ..we draft lots of crap players in their years also..
Looked just like last year's team: no bench, no shooting, a drained Siakam by the end of the game, questionable fouls and losing by a point. You can criticize Siakam, but the old paint penetrating iso ball, kick it out to the point, Siakam is what they needed. They ran around the perimeter not able to penetrate the paint — like DeMar Derozan.
I literally can't stand the Bulls. DeRozan is trash, look at the way he wins, bs pump fakes that weren't even fouks and his daughter screaming. Peathetic
We knows it's 5 vs 8 because the ref called goaltending on a rebound Chris got fouled on, but our goofiness absolves complaining about a loaded whistle
I think the point 5 offence have us making bad decisions cuz we feel the pressure to pass… and that’s what causing a lot of unnecessary turnovers… and can we please give Grady minutes!!!! He can’t develop if we don’t play him!

Toronto fans are the most delusional.. this is what’s expected for most games.
If refs want to sway games, and try to be all stars. They should be interviewed after the game too. Have some accountability

Why is Siakam still getting the ball on last plays with 0 clutch gene..
Ball should go to Barnes or GTJ.
Enpowering women & girls didn't work well for Raptors last night.
I'd like to see a video showing the locker room after THIS game. Probably no ice showers.

Raps = new coach same choke.
Glad to see they are handing the key to Scottie. It’s a tough lost but they will get better as the season goes.

Growing opportunity for the team & for Scotty. Great effort!

Don't worry Scottie. We see how much you care about winning and your teammates. This game stings, but we're not even in this game without you.
2 for 19 from shooting but yet you have Grady sitting on the bench 🤦🏾♂️
NEW COACH NEW SYSTEM…GIVE IT TIME…CHILL GUYS…ITS A LONG SEASON.
