Playoffs?!?!? That's 80 games away… relax people.😂
We gotta shut lamello down
Let’s get this W 🗣️
You talking about last season?! lol the wolves are completely different this year
My biggest fear with LaMelo's ability to commit clear violations and get away with it. The NBA has yet to address glaring rules problem.
Going to be a really tough game, will need to play much better than they did against Washington and the shooting will need to be at least average.
Is there a third all-defence team??
It's going to be a great season for the Raptors!! Also I like the change in animation style, looks fresh 🙌🏾👏🏾
Ayeee
Torontos Defense is Hyper. they look intense
Today will be the biggest challenge yet by a good bit. Ant is the real challenge. I wonder who will hired him. My guess is Scottie. Thinking melo will have RJ on him and then Jakobe when he’s out there
The best defender should guard Lamelo not Ant. He's the one who's going to make it a problem for us due to his playmaking
Isn’t there a rule where they can’t fill the 3rd two-way without a full roster?
Right now the Raptors have an open spot to stay under the apron. I don’t think they can sign another two-way until they fill the last standard roster spot
Toronto Raptors have the best defence that’s the difference and that’s all folks
Just want to tempter expectations here: that game The klaw dropped 45pts was in March – he was in mid-season form. He is not yet in mid-season from now. The first time he played against them Last season was in Dec 2025 and he scored 20pts in31mins of play. So if he doesn't drop +40pts tonight, please don't cry.
This is Raptors first real test and seeing how they played against weak teams I don't see them winning this game. I hope I'm wrong but I would not bet on the Raptors today
Great video man, could tell the time and effort going into it, especially for a Sunday morning!
I’m officially a subscriber, cheers!
Who is going to tell Darko there is no Third All-Defensive Team. Poor CMB.
Our shooting gotta step significantly up and on point! …. from everyone from get go.🎉🏀
Raptors are good in the east!!! – Hehe 😈
Whether they win or lose, please be more selective about which 3's to shoot.
Thanks for the opposition perspective. In the starting lineup who are your 3rd and 4th best defenders covering, are they bigger than Jaden so he can't get to the elbow? Are they stronger than JK so they can push him out of the mid post? The Wolves O is developing a hunt the weakest defender mentality in the half court. We run after made baskets and turnovers, if you ball watch in transition we are attacking the rim. Your team is good and historically my team is pants. No players, owners, coaches or front office is still here from 2018, we have become a different franchise than the one from the 2010's.
Sick video!!! We goin 3-0 tonight boys!!! 🔥💯🇨🇦
This will be a really tough match up tonight, very different from the first two games. I hope they don’t run circles around Jak
