Raptors vs Hawks Game 46 (GREAT EFFORT!!!) (January 28th, 2024)

Raptors vs Hawks Game 46 (GREAT EFFORT!!!) (January 28th, 2024)

If you’re all about wins and lessons with the Toronto Raptors well tonight was the perfect game for you they face the Atlanta Hawks who are very close to the Raptors in the standings the younger players Grady dicks Scotty Barnes Jordan noara even today were electric they were awesome

Today and you were in the game and you saw the effort right from minute 1 to 48 but you lose by one and that’s the lessons part you pick up the loss putting the Raptors at 16 and 30 on the year you got some great performances from those guys and we’ll break that

Down in a second but before I go any further if you are interested in seeing my live reaction to said plays the Scotty dunk off the turnover the uh unfortunate game winner for the Atlanta Hawks link is down below to Tik Tok I recorded it live was able

To get that on video for you guys so check it out down below and I want to be able to go live during games for you guys so we can react to all the stuff live the link is down below got to hit 1 th000 followers to do that we’re over

600 right now we’re getting closer and closer but got to hit that thousand Mark before we can start doing that so the link is down below if you’re interested of course let’s break down this game it’s very simple as to why the Raptors lost this game the inability to grab a defensive

Rebound it’s very evident the Atlanta Hawks had 20 20 offensive rebounds leading to 32 Second Chance points for the Raptors only had eight Second Chance points it’s the reason you lost and as fast forward to the fourth actually before we go the fast forward to the fourth quarter the

First quarter the Raptors were terrible it was a putrid start to the game in the starting unit of Dennis schruder uh Gary Trent Bruce Brown Thad young and Scotty Barnes were awful to start the game then coming off the bench here comes Jordan noara Chris bue Jon Porter and Grady

Dick and to start the second quarter the Raptors come out flying flying and they win the quarter by 12 3523 you’re actually up by four at the end of the first half now why did I mention all those guys and I didn’t mention Emanuel quickley RJ Barrett and

Still no yaka purle because all of those guys were out in this game and you lost by one to the Atlanta Hawks again wins and lessons you’ve lost five straight you’re one to n in your last 10 you’re 14 games under 500 wins don’t really matter at this point do

They hurt when they’re in heartbreaking fashion sure but what you you st back after a few seconds and think big picture it’s not a bad idea it’s not a bad thing so I love the effort we fast forward to the fourth quarter and gr Gary Trent Jr hits a big three to put

The Raptors up by three late in this game then Trey young gets to the free throw line cuz he’s snapping his head back like crazy what else is new knocks down the free throws and fast forward a little bit Raptors are down by one I believe Gary

Has a chance to hit a three can’t make it and they get the rebound and it looks like they’re going to push up the floor Raptors are going to have to foul and get into that stuff well Jordan noara who closed the game for the Raptors

Today gets in the lane of Trey young I believe it was and Trey’s got to fire it into the middle of the court because he’s got nowhere to go but it was a good play from Jordan noara and Grady dick picks off the pass fires a pass up and

Over the defender to Scotty Barnes who slams it home with seven seconds left and the Raptors just like that have taken the lead somehow and again if you want to see my reaction to these few plays Tick Tock go check it out to Sports stck on there and you know with seven seconds

Left Trey is going to to get the ball and he gets the ball on their side of the of half court and he drives down the lane Scotty comes over with the help defense contest the shot really well the problem is as it’s been all

Game long the inability to box out get a rebound sadique Bay with a putb slam to end it heartbreaking loss very tough in the moment to watch but again like I said earlier you take a step back afterwards and your thinking well that just put the Atlanta Hawks a little bit higher up

Than the Raptors did it’s a big one and you got some really good performances from some younger players not a bad game with and being short-handed the way the Raptors were you love to see it they shot 48% from three with out IQ 46% from the field 88% from the line

Not bad at all it’s just the rebounding and not having yakob purle is a glaring issue and we’ve seen it since he’s gone down how much of a problem it is so it’s pretty incredible how important he is watching watching this rapper team play right now let’s get to these player

Stats cuz that’s the fun part we’ll skip Bruce Brown because nothing really crazy about his game ah whatever Gary Trent Jr 16 points on six to 12 shooting four of eight from three couple steals was it minus 19 though so he kind of hairy there um and Dennis shuder

Okay raer F I think we’ve come to learn that Dennis shuder coming off the bench as like your six-man your extra guard is really good it’s really good when IQ came over initially we had Pascal cakam still and watching Dennis come off the bench it was it was he played with it

Himself it was very entertaining but when he gets in the starting unit he tries to do too much like late in the game down to trying to drive through Trey Young when you already have five fouls and they review it but it’s upell and he fouls out and they get the ball

Back I believe were they in the I don’t think they were in the bonus yet so it wouldn’t have been free throws but either way not a good possession down the stretch in the final five minutes of a game where you’re within a score it’s not great offense early in the shot

Clock in transition Scotty B now we’re getting into the fun stuff 24 points four boards eight assists for Scotty eight of 14 from the field eight of eight from the line two blocks in the game didn’t like the five turnovers but second half Scotty got it done would love to see him

Do it for a full 48 minutes but second half Scotty was great was a minus 11 but at one point in the game he was like minus 20 so we’ll take that and let’s get to The Fun Boys the bench unit that kept this rapper team around Jordan noara he had the

Self-creation going today which I didn’t know he had in his bag but he looked awesome he really really did he knocked down three threes early on I’ll be did go three of seven to finish so missed all four threes down the stretch but three of seven from three he had had 24

Points a season high for him nine boards six assists seven of 16 from the field seven of eight from the line three of seven from three had a steal in the game only one turnover and you saw how much he had the ball today plus 11 when he

Was on the floor as well just a really good game from Jordan noara and again going into play today he had played a total of 11 minutes with the Toronto Raptors so to see him go up there today finally get the shot and to run with it

And for Darko to just let him fly a beit late in the game he took him a little while to get back in the game late but it is what it is it’s a really good game from Jordan noara Grady dick we are watching Grady develop before our very

Eyes now the confidence has risen for Grady dick knocking down threes he’s got that little he drive he drives into the pain quite well he finds extra passes it’s it’s kind of fun to watch 15 points five rebounds three assists five of 12 from the field two of three from the

Line three of five from three which is obviously the most important thing for him one steal in the game only had three fouls in 25 minutes I just really nice game plus 19 while he’s in the floor and again Grady dick is going to fill out

He’s going to get stronger and for a guy who’s going to get mismatched and attack defensively quite often he just needs that time to grow and develop and on a team like this where it’s all about development this year he’s going to get the opportunity especially with guys

Like IQ and RJ and yakob out he going to get a shot and he did a great job tonight again did did Grady dick yeah uh jonte Porter I’m kind of shocked he only played 19 minutes in this game he what foul two fouls 12 12 points seven

Rebounds three assists you needed some rebounding needed some size not really sure why they didn’t go back to him three of six from the field three of four from the line three of four from three had two steals a plus 14 in 19 minutes and yet they didn’t go

Back to him I I just didn’t really understand it but with Grady playing so well and Jordan noara playing so well and Scotty B playing so well in the second half there’s three guys and I guess you have to play Dennis because of the point

Guard but God I would have loved to see a little bit more jonte especially when you were getting outrebounded to all hell but it is what it is and Chris bue gave you some energy as well Five Points four boards and was a plus 14 and 13

Minutes of work so your bench got it done for you today you know three of your five guys or no three of your uh four guys yeah three of your four guys that him off the bench scored double figures and they were efficient like yeah Grady dickw 41% but he knocked down

Three threes Jordan no shot 43% from three it’s a very entertaining game from the Toronto Raptors today you love to see it really do now on to the next one as the Raptors are in Chicago taking on the Bulls on Tuesday at 8:00 I let see what happens good effort that’s call all
