React Pod: Raptors show signs of life in first half, but end up with another blowout to Knicks
Will Lou and Alex Wong react to the Toronto Raptors’ 112-98 loss to the New York Knicks game. Will gives his three things for the game: Raptors showing fight defensively in first half, Immanuel Quickley’s bounce back, and the bench struggling. Then, Alex joins the program to take fan questions on whether Darko Rajakovic is still getting a response from the team, Darko’s poor record of challenges, Jakob Poeltl trade proposals, and more.
Three stars: Immanuel Quickley, Scottie Barnes, Davion Mitchell
Gerald Henderson award: Landry Shamet
Most Important Guy: Chris Boucher

Pretty much settles the bet who won the knicks-raptors trade.
RJ and Gradey starting will make us a good defensive team.
Blowouts becoming normal
Dick sucks right now. Agbaji deserves to start over Dick, and maybe Dick coming off the bench will have a chance to take more shots and better shots. On the starting line up, he's the 4th option. Coming off the bench, he can be the 2nd option against worse defenders (ideally).
CB 10 pts 2 steels in 2.5 minutes play him Darko!!!!!!
11:16 Will had a chatgpt moment
PAY JAMISON BATTLE
It’s “obvious” that they are “obviously” still trash.
OG played really really good D? Come on. He got away w/ 2 fouls in the 3Q after picking 2 in the 1st half. He played solid D not really reall good.
how about Jimmy butler for Grady and Brwon trade?
Will, Darko caoching for results? What results? To lose by 50 while Kelly & BB making dumb mistakes & Kelly parting the red sea so every oppinents can get wide open lay ups since he returned? Come on!!
Of all the 30 tms in the league Cavs has the easiest strength of schedule. Let's see if they will continue to win consistently when it gets harder.
Most people knew that defense was going to be a problem for this team, but it's even worse than Ithought it was going to be.
Something no one talks about is how bad of a defender Potle is. Can't guard in space, struggles to guard bjg centres and is only an average rim protector. The "core" players are such bad defensive player. Even scottie has some glaring weaknesses in his defesive game.
Per Blake Murphy Darko is 11-14 on challenges.
Will, you do know Scottie outplayed Mobley in the 2nd Cavs gm in Cleveland? Thst was is 3 gm after returning from the elbow. Evan is NOT a better player than Mobley despite what the stats say this season. He still can't create his own shot. His 3 pt % at 42.4% is fool's gold b/c they are mostly wide open pn low volume. Mobley is only the better defender thsm Barnes but SB i ñs still the better all around player. Put EM on this Raps team & tell me if he is leading to Raps to more wins. He is on a very good tm as the 3/4 option. Please stop.
