  1. Schroder looked like vanvleet 2.0 out there. Damn, 18 shots seriously? And two blown layups late in the 4th. Pass the damn rock brotha 🤦🏻

  2. Darko stop with your malleable post game comments. Begin by watching film & look in the mirror and put your players to the dog shed when they are not playing well. It is called tough love! Dennis should NOT have played in the 2nd half. period. Full stop. I can say this is the 2nd worst game of the season for me only behind that dumb Chicago loss.

  3. I'm curious to know what everyone's opinions are on Jak. He played well tonight with the rim protection but what about the season as a whole?

  4. Raptors starting line up should be : Scottie, GTJ, OG, Siakam, Otto….Bench should be Dennis, Freeman or Flynn, Boucher, Yak and a shooter from the starting lineup. Have Dennis Yak run the pnr off the bench. Its a simple game!

  5. -They lose energy
    -They need to know when the 3 shots arent working and stop doing it .. go in the paint instead
    – pass the ball !!!!

  6. Great Game. O.G. Awesome. Siakam Great Efforts. Poeltl Good Good Great. Achiuwa Dude Man, A Total Night To Day. Trent Jr. That's How We Do. Boucher Always Bringing It. Loved The Collision And Still Standing Strong. Flynn Always Doing His Thing. Porter Putting The Work In. Barnes Looking Entertained With Something Outside Of The Game. Forget The Girls. Forget The Scliff. Forget The Partying Unless Your Eating Cake Or A Tuna Taco, But The Latter Is Not Advised. Only Push, Push In The Bush And Trimming The Hedges. Ha Ha Jokes. No Seriously Speaking Here Now. Game Formation And Rotation Of Plays Looked Better. Some Nice Passes. Loved Shrods Long Bomb Lay-Up. But Shrods & Barnes Not Showing Up Was What Hurt. Find Something That Motivates You Like Siakam Not Giving "F's" About Comments Or Media Questions And Go Earn Your Stripes. I'd Like To See The Special Forces Line-up With Barnes, Achiuwa, O.G., Boucher, Siakam Mash Up & Bounce Off Walls. I Understand We Need A Shrods Or Flynn To Carry The Set, Match, Point But I'm Sure That Barnes, O.G., Siakam, Achiuwa, Boucher Are Ready And Able To Deliver The Mail To The Second Story Window. I talk this way and walk this way cause it don't bother me if you laugh at the lingo cause I've already represented Spain in my youth at high performance sports and I won't be going to the Olympics anytime soon, but maybe a one way ticket to the moon and beyond. So if this resonates at why you got to prove your worth, then just go and be great and forget the bait cause you guys are the entertainment, so stay straight good with yourselves and don't entertain negative situations, just move on and do what you were meant too. Let's Go Raptors Let's Go!!!

  7. Darko and Dennis are the new nick nurse and Fred…. F**KING UNBELIVABLE. This shi is so unwatchable . Dennis and yak create 0 I’m talking 0 spacing for siakam Barnes and OG cause they literally can’t shoot. Why is Gary not starting either when he was for 2 years. Man I think this organization has gone fully political and don’t care about winning at all it’s sad

  8. Can't believe no one asked him about the Scottie plus bench groups .. They haven't worked clearly based on a large enough sample now .. Why not try smth different

  9. DENNIS AND YAK ARE STARTER LEVEL PLAYERS BUT SHOULD NOT BE STARTING DUE TO FIT. YOU NEED SHOOTERS AROUND THE STARTERS. THIS IS A COUP . DARKO AND DENNIS ARE SABOTAGING THE TEAM

  10. Dennis lost us this game. Trent in the starting lineup and scottie as pointguard is what we want or trade is a must.

  11. i feel bad for og one of the few guys the guys that give full effort on defense yet doesnt get the ball enough

  12. Shroeder had an off night which happens. Darko needs to continue implementing Shroeder as the leader and the fans would also like to see more McDaniels.

  13. The folks that are stuck on a Siakam trade are LOST! I always said that he’s the KEY FACTOR, because it’s terribly obvious that on the block, post and backing down—he draws a double: 9 out of 10 times. He is very good at passing out of the double. Folks need to stop overhyping Barnes—he’s just not there yet. Rewatch this game and other games, when Pascal is the first option, things happen—Scottie needs Pascal to spread the floor. I can’t talk $#!+ about Pascal’s FTs!!! My guy didn’t miss—he puts on that work! Flynn did great & effin Darko sat him. Achuwa does a couple things good and then thinks he’s MJ—he’s a Masai Project & needs discipline. For those who didn’t know—now you know: Schroeder IS NOT THAT GUY. Until he proves it, he’s a halfway decent backup at best. That’s why Lebron chewed out Caldwell-Pope for passing Dennis the Messes the rock for a corner 3 to win the game and it was a brick! If GTJr starts—Toronto will be way more competitive and win. Poeltl needs to come off the bench and so does Schroeder. Darko mentioned something extremely SUS in a practice interview that the media either overlooked or purposely ignored: He said that “some players HAVE TO PLAY a certain amount of minutes…” Sounds like he was alluding to Guaranteed Minutes Played vs Contract. That’s a DARK side of sports that we aren’t aware of…
