2026 CHAMPS OTW!
This was the old Scottie we like to see. Just doing what he's best at, attacking in the paint.
That was nice way to finish the game. If they can do that again we will be just fine.
I cant wait to play Brooklyn 82 games this year .
It is a tad concerning that were already decimated with injury. And A : season hasn't even started. B our injury prone players aren't even hurt yet…
@benrogers glazing when they almost lost to the lottery team nets isnt something to celebrate. end of the day they should have dominated the nets. nets are horrible so having success against nets isnt the standard. having that close tells you the raptors defence is ass.
Omg chill…. It’s preseason
Ben. RJ made some clutch moves on defence…ppl don’t realize RJ adapted to his environment really well, playing with Barnes and Darko he’s becoming defensive minded.🦖 keep up the good work.
Raptors signed Julian Reese
Sad part is they played against all rookies except Porter Jr. The rest of them were just rookies. Look, I'm always for the Toronto Raptors but when they beat just rookies it's not such a big achievement
Ingram and Barrett are the two best players on the team
still got spacing issues. but im more confident that factor is manageable… but would be an issue for a playoff run. shoulda traded for derrick white when we had the chance tbh.
are you still doing the fantasy league
Now that's more like the Scottie we know and hope to be. Back to the basket and attacking the paint. Stop forcing middies and 3pt shots and he'll be ok
Like a lot of us said. Scottie in the paint and good things happen.
Big Scottie BI3 RJ and Quick balled out and brought their hustle game today.
They played well but they played against the Nets 😂😂😂😂
One worry I have that 4th quarter it looked like hot potato basketball in a lot of moments scotties turn then quickley then rj it was just hot potato Ingram for me is not moving well of the ball quickley and Scottie are doing a pick and roll and Ingram is standing their a complaint pels fans had about himim not being negative I’m just saying what I saw
There is Nothing wrong with the players, but the Coach is on the line, on loss done.
So when sloppy barnes sucks he is "injured" then 1 in 5 games he is suddenly healthy and we heep praise on him 😅😅😅
It’s preseason but when Gradey isn’t hitting his 3s Battle should immediately sub in. No more playing through slumps between Walter and Gradey.
I don’t understand why you are still convinced Scottie is playing the 3 when he is literally listed as the 4 in the line ups for games….this shouldn’t bug me as much as it does but such an easy thing to see and understand, why consistently show the raptors depth with the starters in the wrong positions 😂
Scottie doesn’t have an outside three game, his three game is inside and at the rim with, AND ONE. They should have kept Sarr.
Spacing was a lot better tonight. Scottie said himself he needed to be more aggressive and be in the dunker spot more and he did that phenomenally tn. Get him in the post or get him going downhill and he will do things. Can score or get to the line and will draw attention and find the open man like we saw. The big 4 combined for 87 points tn and I thought they looked decent defensively until the 4th quarter. Good win but we need more from our bench and rotation guys
This team is scary bad. They need unusually efficient offense to make up for the easily bottom 10 defense of the starters. Feeling like a 35-win team right now. They were 1 b.i. injury away from being 0-5 in preseason. Sorry for the pessimism but I guarantee you this is currently not even a first-round playoff team.
