I enjoy Will Lou but Alex Wong really brings the show down and renders it unlistenable. The Raptors Show with Matt Bonner and Blake Murphy is far superior. Bonner is such a great on-air personality: his experience both as a player and in the TV broadcast booth is really apparent. He's so natural, he effortlessly conveys analysis without boring or losing the listener, and is funny without being a tryhard comedian.

Pensare imo makes the best content and the rate at which he does is insane. His success is a testament to his work ethic, especially since he had no major network behind him

I like hello and welcome and raptors show tho

Don’t really watch the other YouTube guys like republic/digest/locked on/etc

Pensare made good content when he started the channel (nothing super insightful, but he was one of the few creators who would reference analytics in his videos). Then he started making FVV/Scottie drama videos three times a week, which although great for views, isn't good basketball content.

The best Raptors content creator IMO is Samson Folk. He has a really good grasp of the game, certainly better than most of us here, which isn't something I often experience with content creators.

His post-game pods are still the best rn (plus cause Samson doesn't do post-game pods anymore). He actually pulls out video footage and stats.

Alex Wong is fine. He understands the bull**** of the league really well and keeps it light. I think people are triggered by hearing two guys laughing when they're all heated looking for their agendas to be co-signed by smart people.

Alex Wong is a horrible on-air personality and clown who brings absolutely nothing to the table in terms of basketball knowledge. I prefer on-air personalities who are knowledgeable and informed, but are also focused and mature, not try hard or wannabe comedians who constantly laugh at their own jokes while constantly giggling and snickering.

Following the NBA and the Raptors doesn't get me "heated". It's just a hobby. I'm also not interested in "agendas" and any other nonsense.

Hello and Welcome is the first time I've given Will Lou and Alex Wong much of a chance. I like the vibes, and Wong is funny in a terminally online 30-40+ year old way, but I don't like how they try to play up his lack of bball knowledge as cute or endearing. He's not Charles Barkley.

Similarly, Wosny Lambre on The Ringer basketball stuff has been testing my patience lately. The cool and detached thing is not what I'm looking for. If you're going to do it, you better have something else to make up for it.

Need Zach Lowe to just move to Toronto and take over Raptors media.

I really dislike NN, he left a bad taste in my mouth. when he was here he always pushed his brand instead of wearing raptors gear. In Philly I have yet to see him push his brand.

all proceeds from the sale of his hat were going to charity.

Thanks I did not know that.

Philly did a great job working the refs. 3 guys fouled out. It looked like it was their gameplan as their scrubs were going after the refs early.

Darko does need to learn how to use challenges. To get an extra 13 second possession at that point in the game against Tony Brothers is just wasteful.

Big game by Mogbo. Someone must have reminded him he was a dunker because he was attacking the rim all night.

Shead was okay. I thought Mitchell played poised and was missed when he fouled out. Shead was playing a little too fast and loose and turning the ball over on pretty simple plays.

Once we get some shooting back in the line-up we should resemble a team, but right now it's rough. Scottie deserves a lot of credit for somehow getting 27 with zero spacing.

Just finished watching the game. They were intentionally fouling Poeltl at game end to catch the scoring. Poeltl needs to pass the ball before they foul him.

Meanwhile, I don't think it has much to do with spacing. Barnes can't bump KJ Martin to get to the rim. Maybe he doesn't need to try that hard, but the concern is that he isn't getting the advantage of the matchup.
