WHAT’S HERE TO STAY FROM THIS RAPTORS TURNAROUND? | Basketball Island
Things seemed pretty dark up north in the midst of the Raptors losing streak, but it looks like they’ve steadied the ship with three straight wins. How much of Toronto’s recent success is sustainable? Have RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes taken a leap? Can they continue to defend at a high level? Hein, Wes, Fab and Hambone discuss that and more on this week’s episode of Basketball Island.

These are hopefully the real Raptors! Big road trip coming up.
Nah leafs are on roll too.
Team defensive chemistry takes time and having an actual C helps dramatically
Sports guys, relax, don't fight for no reason! Emphasis is on the 1st syllable for 'leth-ar-gy'…not the 2nd
This is TSN (Toronto Sports Network 😉 and these guys talk so so so much smack about the Raptors. Look, RJ, BI, and Scottie are all starting to click and the D is starting to come together. Role guys are having good nights (still inconsistent) and this team is heading upwards. Reasonable chance the Raptors are above .500 by the start of Dec. which should put them in 5th or 6th in the East, exactly where fans are hoping they would be.
You actually pronounced lethargy right at first and they lead you astray.
And keep making shoots so we can get back on defence.
The offense has proven to be effective enough to put up enough points to win games. They lose because they have allowed the other team to score very easily. The defense has woken up recently, and if that's here to stay, then they're gonna win a lot of games.
definitely not 'letharrr' like 'retarrr'
Just a heads up…he initially pronounced it correctly. You guys were wrong. The emphasis is on the first syllable.
As we all know, in game NBA is vastly different than the summer. You can have put in the work and be together right up until you play teams that have been playing together for years at full speed. You know that it's a different thing. We have to mitigate our expectations predicated on that knowledge.
Defence takes a while to get it tight with timing and chemistry.
It wasn’t lack of effort it was almost like they were trying TOO hard. Like being too aggressive and getting blown by. IMO
Lethargy he pronounced fine, can be used either way, lethargic has more emphasis on the ar
This team needs changes since commentators need to be nice it's better if the audience isn't… IQ sucks and he is a bum and has to be traded ASAP and purple needs min restrictions for the whole season and a new c is needed to backup or play with cmb
Sctbrn is doing better BC he doesn't have to do everything, there's a difference between being expected to do everything versus now three people can share the burden, that's not a little easier for sctbrn and RJ but insanely easier
Yeah. Its not LeTHARgy. It's LeTHARgic. But it's LETHargy. Holy shitballs.
Yeah… nah, gimme Ja if the price is right lol.
