God bless everyone seeing this comment
nice nice nice.
Side note, Sacramento is an absolutely garbage team. Having a glut of old, somewhat expensive, flawed vets is the most mind boggling roster plan ever. Their present record was entirely predictable from this recycle bin of a roster they have.
Monk, DD, Schroeder, Westbrook, Lavine…?
Ayeeeee
Mogbo + 2027 Pick Swap + 2nd Round Pick For Jay Huff
Make It happen Bobby.
Ru dont switch up on scottie now
Long season, and many of our big names have had the injury bug. Hope the second half of the season finds them all healthy.
Best play of the night: Scottie yelling out what we've been saying all along.
Scottie's in the paint and holds up his arms string at IQ after being wide open and not getting the rock, yells out clear as day in a quiet stadium:
"PASS THE F KN BALL!!! "
Lol.
Darko for COTY
I mentioned that Darko and his coaches would have to step up and work with this depth to find away to win without a centre and with the injuries AND THEY HAVE !! Congratulations to them. When given a chance Gradey Dick has stepped up ! Good for him !! Not convinced about Mogbo but okay !! Trade deadline coming and the injured players will be back !
I think the raptors need to make a decision on poetls back! does he need surgery? make the decision now, perhaps they can apply for a longterm injury reserve exemption and get some salary cap relief because of it ans gains some flexibility cap wise
Not much difference between sac/gstate bigman situation without sabonis playing… it good to see raps not lose a game like this which they have a habit of doing
We need to get my boy ivess
I give Darko points for finally solving the zone but I take away points for taking so many games to do it. Likewise kudos to Gradey for finding ways to contribute somewhat but he has got to start making some shots. Sure would be nice to have a 7 footer! That said they all found a way to win in a bad situation. GO RAPS!
Unlikely they will beat Knicks first game after a west coast trip.. it’s usually a disaster
You have no idea how to quantify coaching talent so stop trying.
Hopefully Darko will get fired soon
❤fta
The Darko hate has never made sense. "Oh but he didn't call a timeout", yea and any good coach will pick his spots to teach a bunch of young guys to play through it. "He not hiding Gradey on D", good? We wasn't trying to win, why not throw him into the fire to sink or swim? "Oh he couldn't make a clunky fit with OG, Spicy and Barnes", yea it was his first time being a head coach, they lost their team chemistry before he got there and the guy to make it work best was still a kid. The expectations have been pure stupidity. The guy is both a cool mentor and a hard nosed MAN, perfect blend for modern NBA, he got some of the best sound bites going and he has great schemr both offence and defence. One could argue we don't have the personnel to make it work all the time but he is sticking to his philosophy for the long term. I can see not being as high on him as me, but the "fire Darko" complaints are ridiculous
The fact that we’re beating teams without shooting the 3 and without a center and so much injuries is beyond impressive… so just imagine if we get more shooters and a true rim protecter.. who’s really stopping us?? Cuz the lack of those things I just mentioned was the main reason we lost some games this season.. so just imagine if we fix those holes! The leagues in trouble!
Mamu has earned Khem Birch's contract.
Gradey is playing fine ben … he can shoot the lights out but is never allowed to get into rhythm because he is either never passed to or is sat down for any mistake ….no player can shine under those conditions…darko does the same with battle and Lawson…I can't stand darko
Yeah the Kings suck but they did just finish putting hurting's on the Lakers, Knicks, and Rockets this month. As for the Blazers their Big men are about to go Postal on the undersized Raptor front line.
The wins have been great but Portland is next they have climbed to .500 and have good centers. This is the team we will struggle against without Poetl as their 2nd chance points are going to be off the charts without Poetl and CMB
am i the only one that notice how bias drako is on gradey its like he holds him to a Higher Standard than everyone else on the team he makes a mistake he benched he plays good he overlooked for obaji it like gradey cant do anything right. if you watch the game if gradey play for like 5 mins then taken out we start losing he brings an energy to the floor that we need i wish he was more aggressive and called for the ball more hes not a sit and shoot corner 3 guy he plays better with the ball in his hands or on fast break. then mf will say hes a defense liability no hes not the refs make bad calls on him and most of the time teams set screens on gradey and no one on are team helps gradey.
