Raptors vs Heat Game 41 (NEW ERA!!!) (January 17th, 2024)

Raptors vs Heat Game 41 (NEW ERA!!!) (January 17th, 2024)

First game of the new look Toronto Raptors and boy oh boy was that fun they beat the Miami Heat 12197 incredible stuff offense flowing ball movement incredible and we will get to that one absolutely gorgeous passing play in the second quarter in a second here but obviously we all

Know the news Pascal getting dealt and obviously you know Bruce Brown for what he’s going to be with this team they ain’t here yet obviously so you’re you just lost Pascal and that’s it but I was interested to see how Scotty and quickley and RJ are going to lead this

Offense and to start the game the Raptors are up 4118 after one quarter of play knocking down threes at will but you’re waiting for that punch from Miami well in the second quarter Raptors continue to punch and they close out the quarter strong and they win the second quarter by 12

37 25 excuse me they score 78 first half points they’re up 35 at half time right I could have butchered that but I believe it’s 35 at a halftime something like that now me sitting here at halftime loving being up 35 but I’m sitting here having watched these Toronto sports

Teams lose eight consecutive games for me four Leafs and four Raptors and the Leafs have blown leads in every game and I’m watching 35 and I’m like for the love of God do not do don’t do this to me and then to start the third quarter

Miami goes on a crazy run and I’m like oh God this is not not happening and they win the quarter 30 to6 and you’re still up 21 take get down to 19 in the third quarter you’re that you’re in good shape right you’re up 21 but now you’re going into the

Fourth and it gets dry again turnovers and it’s getting ugly and they get it down to 13 and we’re like oh God this is not going to happen play I tweet I think I tweeted it out as well I’m like please don’t let another Toronto team blow a

Lead like I just my mental capacity can’t take it anymore and then Scotty Barnes took over in that fourth quarter incredible he was remarkable in that fourth quarter whether it’s be you know attacking the paint and taking it to Gary whether it’s going one-on-one with bam out of bio and shoot like one-handed

Shots over top of him getting and ones to drop I mean it was it was remarkable to watch Scotty B take over that fourth quarter it was really really remarkable after them getting down to 13 and you guys can do the math they were up 21 I believe going into the fourth

Quarter and they down the 13 so they were plus eight in the quarter right well the Raptors won the fourth by three it tells you how much Scotty took that game over afterwards remarkable stuff from him Gary making big shots when it down to 13 he hit a big three to

Put them back up 16 and they really didn’t look back from there just an incredible gutsy performance right and if you’ve ever played Sports those big leads are so tough to keep because you know they’re going to push and you know you’re not going to shoot that great the entire

Game and it’s how you weather the storm now getting it down to 13 was a little too damn close for comfort but you were able to counter whether the storm get the win by 24 great stuff now let’s get to that gorgeous play in that um in that third

Quarter um let me see if I can find it here uh I know I know shut out will man I love the Raptor show uh he he posted it on his in on his Twitter page and oh my God I didn’t want any volume coming from that thank you when I played it

Earlier there was nothing but apparently there is now all right let’s get to this bad boy it was remarkable to watch okay I’m going to break this whole thing down for you so it starts with Dennis shter coming up the floor and gets into he get

Yeah gets the screen drops off for jonte Porter fake dumps it into Scotty into the corner to Gary swing to Dennis swing to uh jonte who pump fakes drives into the lane kicks it out to Dennis Cross to Gary into the corner drills a three that

May sound like a a buch of mumbo jumbo but I’m going to retweet that right now if you haven’t seen it yet go look at it it is a picturesque beautiful ball movement gorgeous play and it just showed you right there how much the Raptors dominated that first half it was

So beautiful to watch team stats H they’re a little skewed obviously second half not so not so good offensively I’ll be not good in the third quarter you still have scored 27 in the fourth which is fine um but 51% from the field they shoot 46% from the field Raptor shoot

23s after hitting four in the last game they dropped 20 today on 53% shooting Miami only makes six they were 21% from three um of 18 from the free throw line was that 61% I I think like five of those are RJ misses let me make sure of

That uh he missed six free throws he got to the free throw line 13 times missed six so quite an ugly night from the free throw line for for RJ he missed six of the seven a total misses for the Raptors so tough one for him rebounding 45 37

Raptors offensive boards you one by one 34 dimes nine steals to there four turnovers only 10 turnovers you don’t have pass scal and you turn the ball over less it’s crazy uh points of the paint you got dominated obviously but you knocked down 23 so who the hell

Cares about that uh and obviously not having the presence in the paint offensively I get it uh Second Chance points you know you only won the offensive glass battle by one 13 to 12 but the second chance points were 19-6 in favor of the Raptors fast break 1310

Raptors points off of their turnovers again they only turn the ball over four more times in the Raptors but every time the Raptors made them pay 21 to 10 in points off of turnovers the heat never LED in this game the Raptor’s biggest lead was 37 just dominant other than the third

Quarter in like the first what five minutes of the fourth first half of the fourth quarter they dominated which is I’ll be a quarter and a half that you didn’t play well but they played so damn well in the other times that you just won this basketball game let’s break

Down these player stats Scotty Barnes fourth quarter Scotty was incredible 25 and8 in the game nine of 16 from the field one of one from the free throw line was one of six from three the three wasn’t falling for him but he man his inside game was just on

Point he was remarkable two steals a block for him five turnovers or a few caress passes or passes to nobody so I few weird things there but again you don’t have pass scals so it’s a big change for this team but when Scotty do when he did in the fourth quarter I

Don’t care about the five turnovers I could I could give it I could give a crap I really could I think he was a plus player yeah plus five in the game RJ Barrett was a mutant yet again 26 points eight rebounds three assists 9 of

14 from the field 7 to 13 from the line was a little shaky but he was also one of three from three in the game and a plus 20 while he was on the floor and jont Porter I mean look he gets a little shot happy at times but I’m okay with

That it gives you a little bit of spacing from the five which you don’t usually have with yako purle six points four boards couple assists two of seven from the field two of four from distance had a couple blocks in the game I like his interior presence uh had a block was

A plus one in the game in 18 minutes good stuff manual quickly the uh the twos weren’t falling for him today as we’ve said before that kind of seems to be a thing that he needs to continue to work on but 17 points eight rebounds nine assists for IQ today six- 16 from

The field but two of two from the free throw line but also three of six from three perfect from the line 50% from three yeah the twos weren’t going well but and nine dimes to go along with that eight rebounds as well he was great tonight IQ minus two on the floor which

Is kind of weird but who cares he he gave you a hell of an effort and Gary Trent Jr man it’s remarkable the skewed numbers when he starts to when he comes off the bench is it’s it’s incredible it’s it’s so weird 22 28 points for Gary today two

Boors no assist the Gary stat I like catch and shoots from him from three but 10 of 13 from the field eight of nine from three had a steal in the ball game and was a plus4 while he was on the floor when Gary’s making threes man when

He’s making those catch and shoots and he’s getting hot oh it’s a fun game to look at because the spacing just changes so much it really does that’s why you’d be perfect Off the Bench but for some reason just doesn’t work for him and your bench looks statistically nobody

Scored in double figures but listen to this stuff Thad young plus 21 Dennis shuder plus 31 Chris bé plus 20 graany dick plus 14 and yeah he had a couple turnovers and a couple thousand obviously he’s going to have some shaky moments but I loved it six points

Knocked down two threes took two threes took two shots that’s it nothing too crazy also had four assists in the game and sprinkled in a couple Steals and was a plus 14 in 11 minutes obviously most of that in the uh in the second quarter there awesome great stuff from Grady a
