quickly keep shooting stupid shots
Played down to a weaker team and no Barrett
Quickly Needs to Know when to shoot 3s or not, what An IDi@t decision making, No Rebounder to get his missed shot, We need Two Point Guard, I would Get a Better Defensive Guard to Replace Low IQ
The hornets are actually very talented. They can go off any night and beat any team. Relax guys
All those people who speculated about trading RJ Barrett for months.
Apparently he actually is important in the Raptors lineup.
My boy Brandon clapped too hard last night after celebrating the buzzer beater😂 his third leg was probably sore
Send back Walter to D fckng league. He can’t play defense!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We lose because we have Walter on the team. He can’t play DEFENSE !!!!
The only player to blame is Walter. He duck on DEFENSE
Ugly loss. 😠 I dont know if Ingram is the guy or not. 🤔 We'll see when they have more competition throughout the year. 🤼 When they go on a west road trip we can truily judge this team on how good they really are..
Trade Walter to Washington Wizard to a 2nd round draft pick. He doesn’t play Defense
Replace Lawson with Walter who don’t play Defense
I watch the whole game Walter never played defense
Why is Walter in the team or even in the 1st 5. He don’t play defense
Knicks is our real test
Now where are all the skeptics who called for RJ trade. How that Gradey plus minus serving you. RJ is the aggressor of this team and is irreplaceable. Said from the jump, BI is talented but he cannot be your hero day in day out.
Yes, he Can but Darko has to Draw up Plays for him.
Head Coach Darko doesn’t like Relying on Stuff like like Drawing up Plays because it requires so much Concentration from his Coaching Staff, his Players and himself.
But this Game Against the Hornets is not Worrisome for the Raptors because they were Missing RJ Barrett.
Main problem for Head Coach Darko, is exactly what this Video is Saying.
Darko doesn’t know who to Play as Starter while RJ Barrett is out with Injury.
Gradey Dick should be the Starter while RJ is out and if Coach Darko doesn’t want to Use Gradey Dick, Darko Must use Sandro Mamu
because Sandro can Play the Power Forward, while putting Scottie Barnes at the Small Forward Position.
Head Coach Darko has to Stop with these Experiment Rotations and put his Trust into what has Worked for him Last Season.
He Should know by now that Gradey Dick is a More Tougher Player than J Walter and Gradey Dick is More Efficient than Collin Boyles as a Starter.
You cannot compare a Player’s Number, who came from off the Bench, to a Player who is a Starter
because the Starter goes into the Game with More Confidence and More Minutes to help Boost his On Court Numbers or Production.
It happens. I'm so happy with this team
Take the L, review the tape, learn from the mistakes, and move on.
Plus, the Hornets are still an NBA team. Just because they are usually a winnable game team, doesn't mean you'll win if you don't apply the winning formula. They've got talent too.
This game was plagued with bad referee calling all game. They wanted the Rapsa to loose.
Going to give IQ a kick in the butt to with his ISO jacking threes, poor court vision.
You cannot expect BI to be the guy at the end of each game.
Coach needs to get serious using Mamu and Battle. There is a couple guys getting minuets that should not be getting them
The raptors in my opinion are amazing but Grady and quickly gotta just hit a bit more wide open threes they get and unless shed and quickly are on fire don’t play them both together they are great but not prime Kyle and Fred and should get more time running that lineup before they use it when the games close Walter yesterday against the hornets should have been out during that lineup are teams great just gotta figure those things out and a few others of course
Ingram was missing all game as much as I think he should have the ball during clutch time Scottie was much more hot and needed the ball in OT the most
I see a lot of guys seeking redemption after this game and saying, "Oh, we were just missing a 20-point player, RJ Barrett." No. It was because of the lack of effort the team and the coach showed in the second half, especially in the last quarter. Darko is already becoming legendary for not using his timeouts well. Remember the time he burned 4-5 of them in the first half?
It’s understandable to give some rest to the main core, but he saw what the players were doing on the court, and I’m not sure this is how you should handle it. I won’t pick individuals to blame, it was simply bad to watch from last quarter till the end.
The team still need a decent PG and a second center, and give Battle and Lawson more time, but I would also give a chance to Alijah Martin who is same kind of player material as Kyle Lowry, just saying.
One loss and you NEED to remind yourself to be cool? Trade talks in the comments, thus is today's sports world filled with fear every play and want knee-jerk reaction like they were Ross Shatkins. IF refs weren't so obviously playing the bettors fix, Raps win. Charlotte who just beat the Piston the night before are a plucky scrappy team with young up and coming talented players and few vets who can score. You know how hard it is to win 9 in-a-row? Every team in the pro leagues are capable of beating any team at any time – if it wasn't this way … we'd all be rich off gambling, it would be that easy! Yes Grady and Ogbaji must be better, and yes you can see that in 3 players (Walter, Grady, Ogbaji )they don't equal what 1 RJ does! ..but cool it ya monkee's! Raps are going to lose games this year, will have a losing streak, chill!
Trade Gradey Dick and Ochai!
Im not mad at this loss, weve had a great run and Hornets just wanted it more.
I get they are giving minutes to obaji to build his trade value but enough is enough, those minutes should be going to battle!
Im a huge RJ fan and this stretch just shows how much he matters and needs to be removed from trade rumors.
Take the L, learn from it and lets start another steak today.
GO RAPS
Raps are 7.5 point dogs tonight against Knicks.Get yer wallets out🙂
Its not just Rj missing. Its also bad decisions by coach (love Darko). Playing Agbaji (35 fg%, 5.9 3pt%) and Grady (39.8 fg%, 31 3pt%) over Battle should be a crime.** Battle would help provide the same pressure relief as RJ just in a different way with his gravity from his 3pt shooting!! He can defend better than grady and agbaji and doesnt need the ball in his hands alot.
Limp Dick is very concerning 😟
They have to use Battle way more i was watching and Darko shouldve just let him in. We were already down a bit in overtime, why not bring him out to try and hit those clutch 3s
Guys like u are gassing these players up. BI ain't Kawli, IQ is SG and not pg, his a bench player and RJ ain't MJ..
Holy Fk. Darko lost this game, period. CMB and Shead should play more and IQ and BI need 2 dialed it down a bit. They went stupid mode, who can get more shots. Guys were open, pass the ball.
He’s way to expensive!
Why did Brandon deliberately let knueppel take that shot. Didn’t even raise his hand 🤔
