    Good ass game the crowd was electric tonight

  2. ZoroChopper10

    Sooo we don’t play Boucher because he’s bad for the tank, I respect it

    I’m glad Scottie had great game, now go enjoy the all star game

  3. These are the sort of losses I want to see.

    ​

    If we aren’t good enough to win, that’s fine and expected, but at least play like you want to win.

  4. spectacular_seamonke

    Despite not being able to buy a bucket late in the 4th Scottie is absolutely a DOG

  5. Cheechers23

    Nice bounce back game from Scottie. Not even that upset with the loss, effort was good tonight.

  6. mo_downtown

    Hurts to be so close but that was a very good Scottie game

  7. 1columbia

    Tough way to lose but a perfect tank performance. Team played hard, young guys mostly played well, Siakam had a nice return. I’ll take it

  8. paolocabrini

    You impatient motherfuckers doubting Scottie Franchise, he’s going to get there and he’s going to be great.

  9. SpecialPressure9983

    Indiana clearly blew up darkos play call at the end there… y’all always tryna blame someone😭

  10. Miserable-Deal242

    Perfect tank loss. Scottie aggressive in the 4th is refreshing to see.

  11. eatscheeks

    Feel like that was a perfect loss, they played with a ton of effort and intensity while making a lot of mistakes, pretty much all you can ask for from a young developing team.

  12. Digi_awesome

    That game had everything. Pascal and Scottie with great games, a close finish, even Boucher got minutes. Solid solid game!

  13. spectacular_seamonke

    Jakob Poeltl is somehow our best and worst free throw shooter 😂😂

  14. The_Mikeskies

    Sucks we lost against a Pacers team with no centers, but glad Pascal found his composure in the second half, with clutch buckets and stops to lose the game for the Raptors.

  15. Drawjutsu

    Thank you Commander Barrett for missing them free throws. Our tank squadron appreciates your dedication and service.

  16. MrJamally

    I’m getting really excited to see RJ break out even more. Dude still so young.

  17. FallenLemur

    A lot of effort shown today, can’t complain.

    RJ got a good shot at the end just missed it, everyone and their mom probably thought it should have went to barnes, I feel like RJ got tunnel vision there.

    #BOUCHER NEEDS TO PLAY

  18. captaintn

    during all star break raps gotta hit the gym for free throws and darko gotta hit the books for plays because wtf was that

  19. Josh_a_J

    It was a great fucking game. Heartbreaker in the end.
    RJ almost had it. Damn damn damn.

    Hopefully through this game Darko sees Boucher deserves some minutes.

  20. diematrosen

    Darko got some questionable play calls ngl

  21. acumen14

    Most enjoyable game of 2024. Scottie looked like an all star, and like he calmed down a little bit. RJ was feasting pressuring the basket. Matter of fact, everyone played well. Clutch L for the tank effort too.

    Edit: and how about them BOUCHER minutes?

  22. Serviceofman

    Darko in the huddle with 10 sec left…

  23. Ecstatic-Buy-2907

    That was a fun game, can’t be mad about that one

    Tough missed call at the end there, it’s very hard to tell the difference between a push and a flop and that last play was an example of it

    Nice bounce back game from Scottie, so y’all can stop hammering his ass

    Siakam was clutch

  24. Marmalot

    Nice to see Scottie and RJ bonding, starting to see some chemistry there

  25. Own-Sleep-4973

    How many games have we lost to the refs at this point? Tbh prolly our biggest rivalry this year, they’ve been kicking our butts

  26. Extreme_Ad_7594

    Boucher!!

    ![gif](giphy|GW8VpJMnqEKKm8tbVk|downsized)

  27. DoseofDhillon

    honestly people are going “well we lost but look at all the points the guys score” a bad defence missing players in a game that was going to be high paced scoring, they kinda just met the bar. Scottie was good but if he didn’t get to the mid to high 20’s that would have been kinda concerning, so yeah, thats good.

    Happy they competed but thats about it

  28. lillithfair98

    Winnable game that they lost due to typical young team mistakes:

    – missed FT
    – rushed TO
    – defensive breakdowns

    You can see the makings of a decent team despite the brian farts. They need somebody who isn’t Barnes to make a shot in the clutch – he’s best drawing and kicking and if he’s going to be forced to score only the other team will just load up on him.

    Particularly promising if Dick can develop into a starter to replace Gary. He has better size and you hope he develops into a more consistent shooter than Gary who has missed a loooot of wide open looks.

  29. AngryHelicopter

    What the hell is going on with RJ from the free throw line? He’s looking great otherwise, but shooting 50% from the line is not acceptable.

  30. b3amfl3ot91

    Really liked Scottie’s disposition the whole game. He was aggressive and kept his emotions in check. If he brings this type of focus each game, he’s already a walking triple double threat as is. Despite the fact that he is still raw in many ways and has tons of skill work he needs to polish up.
