  1. About Darko – RJ, Jak, Gradey and Ochai might all have a case for MIP at this point in the season, that's insane.

    And I think his unique talent is something you alluded to – seeing a path for growth that the players don't see in themselves (or had coached out of them) and getting the players to manifest the vision. I wouldn't be surprised to see Davion add new wrinkles to his game by the end of the season.

    Also, I agree that maintaining cohesion through the tough stretch is no small feat, and speaks to both the quality of the coaching staff and the success of the FO in doing what they set out to – re-establishing a culture. This is also not trivial and one of the main reasons I'm against making trades that would deliberately make them worse.

  2. There's something special about Walter. Even when he's "struggling" his presense on the court seems to stabilize the other 4.

    The one exception was when he came in for Scottie in the 4th (I thought he was coming in for Davion)

  3. Another great episode as we track the Raptors’ ascendance. I agree that the team is poised to break out and climb in the rankings. Thanks again for your insightful analysis

  4. What a team man, god this season has been so fun for Raptors basketball. I’m feeling good for our game against OKC, maybe an upset is in the cards!

  5. We have to be honest, Darko was our third option as coach, but the decision so far is looking good.

  6. It’s clear The Knicks bungled RJ, they should have traded Randle years ago and given RJ his chance to lead the team.

  7. This team is growing really fast and there's still room for improvement. Pizza party Thursday? πŸ™

  8. Second comment here, I'm liking the no background music in this video. Makes it feel a tad more.. serious? If that's the right word. I'm not saying don't include music from here on, but it really worked for this video!

  9. Comment sections around the league have the raps as a sneaky good team.

    Identity is coming along.

  10. Looking dapper!
    For what a stranger's opinion on the internet is worth I think you'd look even more killer with the full beard.

    Appreciate the report as always

  11. Great video, feeling great about the raptors young guys this year. Kinda confused on if we are tanking or not though

  12. I cant lie, Ive been iffy on scottie as a first option on a contending team, but he showed everything last night. Cant ask for more

  13. I've enjoyed most of our losses, just for the fight we've shown and a game like last night, where for the most part we laid the hammer down, really shows what this team can be when healthy and firing on all cylinders.😊
