RAPTORS REBIRTH: WHO’S COMPLAINING ABOUT FIT NOW? | Basketball Island

THE VIBES COULDN’T BE HIGHER! The Toronto Raptors have won eight straight games and 12 of their last 13. The Pistons are the only team with a better record in the eastern conference. How far can this team go? Is Brandon Ingram a top five wing in the east? Which Canadian NBA player has impressed you the most? Wes, Jevohn, Hambone and Fab discuss that and more.

  1. GTFO, ‘someone’ had the Pacers finishing ahead of the Raps in preseason predictions…seriously

  2. Scottie's numbers are more or less identical from last year. What's improved is the lack of 3p attempts, way higher 3p% due to wide open shots, and way better true shooting. This tells me Scottie is playing his game at an elite level because there's less need for him to drive the offence all the time.

    Overall having Ingram is just awesome for the team.

  3. I heard someone say the big test for the Raptors is the Knicks on Sunday – but my issue is that it’s on a back-to-back… so if the Raps lose, idiots are going to freak out, even though it’s the second game of the back-to-back. If they win, great, if not, it’s just a game!!

  4. If Ingram wants to become The man all the time, average 30 and all that , the Raps will start unfolding. The ball need to move and the players need to follow Darko's plan…

  5. The issue with the fit criticism is it completely ignored the players this year overall are way more talented but even have personalities to get along with each other and play for each other and all raptors media is scared of that BC of the risk of talking about how Fred og siakam never got along with Barnes on or off the court , Barnes was always going to be the leader and they couldn't handle it

  6. Cleveland is probably a bit better than the Raptors on paper when fully healthy. They have the outside shooting, the height inside and Mobley's defence as well.

  7. Jordan won defesive player of the year and the scoring title.
    Modern dudes have nonexcuse not to be decent to good defenders.
    Its will. They dont want to.

  8. so much better when there is actually a true basketball guy in there not having to speak about ball like it is baseball using constant analytics

  9. Don't jinx them they got these trap games now so they better play like they did against the Wizards and not the Hornets

  10. I start to cringe when I hear stats from today's NBA against the past. Two totally different games.
    It doesn't mean you don't celebrate the achievements, but the rules of the game have changed so much in the direction of allowing players to score a lot more, it really can't be held to the same standards.
    It's just a fact.

  11. RJ goes toe to toe vs the best wings. Look at his numbers vs Tatum/Brown, OG, Dyson, Franz, Ant, PG 13, Kawhi, etc. Interesting how guys don’t recognize that. And, guys don’t expect defense from BI because he isn’t a great defender. No one talks about the turnovers. Must be nice.
