  1. The NBA, ESPN and all so called US sports analysts aka EXPERTS are embarrassed to see the Raptors doing well this season. Check out all their preseason predictions, they all acted like they can see the future that all of them arrogantly said the Raptors will be the worst team in the Eastern conference this season.

  2. Saw the last couple of plays on the Hornet's broadcast. Elation of course when Ball hit the layup with 1.6 seconds to go. When the commentator realized it was Quickley who received the inbound pass, he screamed "Oh no!" just before the shot. Much respect to Charlotte who played the Raptors tough in all 4 meetings this season. They're a much better team than their record imo.

  3. Why didn't they call a coaching challenge on the Bridges ball touch that went out of bounds

  4. This lil blond girl ref not even watching the play where bridges touches the ball that went out of bounds .. it was her post .. but she's too eager to turn her head and run down the floor when the ball is not even in play yet and there's already the 3rd ref down the floor 🤦‍♂️ …the other ref was watching but he had bridges back to him he should've seen it though .. 2 bad refs .. ridiculous

  5. And as always Darko's clueless ,with his garbage coaching .. cant even call a challenge on that bridges out of bounds play

  6. This Raptors team isn't getting enough credit this year. They are 4th in the east. And I don't think anyone expected them to even come close to making the playoffs. They are killing it this year!

  7. 3:55 Quick just too dumb to not even take it to the hole strong here 🤦‍♂️ he had a wide open lane ,beat Ball and had Knupel helping he could've just went strong here and would've drawn the foul on knupel or a wide open lay up …

    Just like Barrett did on knupel ..Quick should've done the same power dribble gather on knupel earlier 🤷‍♂️ …

  8. 4:45 that's just bad defense from Mamu .. Bridges was going to go LEFT WHOLE time !! This was too easy to anticipate.. it was so obvious he was going to go left as soon as he caught the ball… he was trying to think how to do it and just dribbling for nothing .. just str8 up bad defense

  9. His left foot was always the front foot ..hes not agile enough to switxh and go right 🤦‍♂️cmon man

  10. 5:37 WTF was Diabete doing all this extra stuff with that elbow shive on Barrett … ref didnt even see it …Barrett didnt do anything dirty the whole time from the free throw shot ..Diabete is just a salty dirty player
