Every time Darko put shead in he made a difference in a positive way.
This is massive! Gradey
Raptors fans should never take Shead for granted, especially for those who were around when Malachi Flynn was the backup PG.
I hate to keep harping this issue. 22 free throws for miami and 9 for the raptors. This league is dirty.
Barnes on the decline over the last 4 games. Back to his sub 18 ppg and 3 point bricking. Meanwhile Ingram keeps getting better.
I think shead should start n put quick as the 6th man with first team minutes! His passing is great ! N his defense , n we need to trade Grady n ochai for herb jones
I just feel like we should go more got that defensive mindset of a team ! Try and get gafford and herb ! That would elevate our team tremendously!
We are so fkd when it’s time to pay these young guys. Especially shead
Steady Sheady!
They will win more points if they don’t make that Walter play. He doesn’t play defense. Send him back to D League in exchange with Lawson who’s I think more deserving
Every time they put Walter in is negative. Send him back to D League and improve his game for many years to come
An enjoyable game. Hard fought and a WIN!
Darko continues to puzzle me. He continues to start Agbaji who is averaging 3.4 pts/game and gives him 22 minutes for 5 pts and 4 rebounds. He gives Walter 13 minutes to get 0 pts and 0 rebounds. These are valuable minutes that could have been spent on Shed, CMB, Dick or Battle. Darko has also been waiting too long to call time outs. 14 and 0 runs against are not OK. Where were the challenges on the blatantly bad calls?
Have been down on Dick this season so I have to say I was impressed by his much improved decision making tonight. Keep it up.
Forgot to say "hey Bobby" where is our 2nd Centre??"
IQ's contract blocking Shead from starting is a travesty. I hope Bobby pulls some magic now that trade season is open.
Two trades the raptors must do is
1. To Toronto C Day-Ron Sharpe
To Brooklyn SG/SF Agbaji and 2026 first round pick
2. To Toronto C/PF Marvin Bagley and 2026 2nd round pick
To Washington 2026 2nd round pick and PF Mogbo
Bagley and Sharpe immediately help us the paint and both can actually play defence. Have Sharpe play with Mamu and Bagley with Poetl
Quickley needs to be traded at the draft so we can extend RJ to a contract. Quickley is replaceable RJ’s offence is not.
Raptors should bring back Matt Thomas and let’s see what Darko can do with him. Imagine Thomas and Battle on the court together.
Shead reminds me of a young Fred van fleet improved more each year I know it’s his second year but he gets put in at times a young Fred van fleet got put in his defensive shines he has a dribble bag and he’s a solid second pg
Trade sloppy barnes he isnt worth his quarter billion dollar contract
So happy to see the Raptors snap the losing streak. Heat have been struggling in December, but they are still tough to beat at home. Well done, Raps!
This is just year 2 Shead, next season he will be a terror. Looking forward to Jamal and Ja'Kobe next season. This season they will have their up and downs.
Dread the Shead.
I've reached the point where i just want Grady to up his trade value. He's going to need to be consistently efficient for me to buy back into his hype.
I'm in a similar place with IQ. His fit as a pg, running and creating the offense just seems off. He is a SG through and through, no matter how much we want him to be a pg. The fact that the game flows so much better with Shead beside him reinforces that.
Blood Shed, Shead.
Taking the Heat to the Shed.
We need a "mobile" center.
