Raptors vs Knicks Game 43 (Another loss…) (January 20th, 2024)

Raptors vs Knicks Game 43 (Another loss…) (January 20th, 2024)

Nicks fans and whatever Raptor fans want to be on here right now after a 26o loss welcome to the page as I’m going to discuss the 1261 100 wiing between the Knicks and the Raptors tonight but uh before we get to the game itself I’m going to quickly re revisit the trade

Now obviously we’ve had a lot of time to sit through it we’ve been able to see these players play on said teams uh OJ is outstanding the Knicks fans have now seen it and I’m I from what I’m seeing all over social media love it and rightfully so he’s the perfect player to

Put into that team and he looks great the team’s playing outstanding basketball I mean they what they’ve won through what three in a row now is it yeah three in a row eight and2 in the last 10 they’re buzzing they’re fifth in the East they’re playing good ball right

And if you’re the Toronto Raptors now you look at Emanuel quickley again he’s a much more fun player to watch than Watching God I don’t know whatever the hell we were watching before the trade and watching a Canadian RJ Barrett like I’ll be I’ll be I’ll be real Nicks fans

I get it RJ was probably really frustrating in New York understandably so we see all the efficiency numbers all that stuff but as a Toronto fan who have watched players leave not want to be hear all that stuff in this city and hear all the awful stuff South of the

Border to have a guy born here bred here and want to be here yeah it’s it’s definitely a sigh of relief and you can see by the play he’s been a lot better as a raptor than Nick it could be just be you know early goings but I like what

I’m seeing from RJ Emanuel quickly is so fun to watch and wins and losses are just in the complete opposite direction for both teams but Raptor fans we knew this was going to happen like don’t kid yourself who thought that this trade was going to make you better who thought Mak

It I mean when they made the Pascal trade we’re all like yeah checked out right they’re they’re not going to try and win games this year and they’re not evidently so right right you D you lose by 26 today and it felt like the entire game the Knicks were just kind of like

Playing with their food a little bit first half Raptors play okay basketball right you’re you’re only down two at halftime you put a really good push at the end of the second quarter and you’re right there but coming out in the third quarter you go ice cold shooting the

Knicks come out hot and it’s checked out at that point you go down big you’re up down by like 20 at one point you cut it down to 14 at the end of three quarters of play and you’re thinking okay maybe right no no no you’re out in the fourth

You only score a total of 43 uh 43 points in the second half where you allow 6 67 and you lose by 26 like I mentioned they were playing with their food it felt like the entire game kind of reminds me of the Clippers game uh in

LA but the Clippers waited till the last bit of the fourth quarter the Raptors didn’t have that late push uh that they today that they did in that game but it just felt like that right it really did and the Knicks obviously being a much better team than Toronto Raptors as

You’d expect uh late just beat them down and um I it’s weird for me being a raptor fan and having this team in my division even though divisions means squat in basketball now uh being happy for them because Nick fans remind me of somewhat being a leaf fan as well right

Big franchise struggling a lot painful to look at and now you have something positive to look at so and Jaylen Brunson is a freak so enjoy it thoroughly thoroughly enjoy it OJ and Obi is a great player and and Raptor fans and Toronto sports fans in general

Are so used to seeing uh former players come back and haunt them but it wasn’t really OG today on the offensive front no no no precious aoua has an 18- 11 double double now Nicks fans I will caution you this if you look up his numbers against his former team the Miami Heat

Astronomical everybody else eh something about when precious plays a former team that he just takes it to another level and then everyone else is just kind of checked out nine of 10 shooting today for precious and 18 and 11 double double and of course Malachi comes in in

Garbage time and knocks down a three for them so it’s just like yeah just just pour salt in the wound a little bit more why don’t you right but again used to it as a Toronto sports fan that’s fine and the Raptors now fall to 16 and 27 11

Games under you’ve lost three straight or uh two straight two straight game excuse me and they just they just seem ch out right they just seem checked out of it Scotty Barnes today had a great first half he had like nine four and five at that break and you know four of

Nine shooting ends the game with 9 six and seven four of 14 shooting was 0 of three from three yeah minus 15 just looked rough jonte Porter couldn’t make shots Gary was was hot early on right four of eight from three six of 10 from the field 16 points only played 25

Minutes again you can see how uninspired they were uh in this game RJ only played 28 you know quick only played 31 minutes had a double double but for some for some reason only took eight shots and it was two of four from three in the game

Was a minus 26 on the floor your bench really didn’t give you anything uh and people are going to say well Grady gave you 11 and you know what yes that’s what I’m going to talk about very minimal here and wrap this thing up because I

Don’t want to talk much more about this game I really don’t uh Grady dick we’ve seen him now in the Miami game and we saw him in this game and in both games he’s giving you a little punch not done a couple threes in that Miami game and

Today I mean again minimal sample size only 16 minutes of work but 11 points two rebounds one assist four or seven shooting knocked down three threes he was three or six there had a steal in the game didn’t turn the ball over only had one foul in 16 minutes it was only a

Minus two in a 26 Point loss so definitely a positive sign for Grady dick you like what you saw from quickley had a double double RJ dropped 20 for you Grady height was in double figures knocked down three threes these are the things you’re going to have to talk

About in losses this is what the rest of the season going to be looking like Raptor fans I’m not going to be wearing the garbage can anymore because if they lose a game and they lose by a lot it’s not what you you don’t don’t expect to

Win you just can’t expect it they play well and they win a game enjoy the hell out of it but don’t expect it Nicks fans enjoy the wins man cuz it’s fun Raptor fans have been you know before the last couple seasons have been very lucky to watch this team play really good

Basketball for a lot of years now the dark times begin we’ll see how long it happens Messi jir even said it in his thing patience is going to be key I mean it’s and he said it quite a bit and with the tears about Pascal it’s a lot of

Things going on in this organization they’ve got to find out where this direction is headed we we know where it’s going but how they’re going to get to that next step is the next key for this team all right so you know what guys that is going to do it for this one
