He looked washed.

what a disaster

3/17 shooting vs Washington

4/18 shooting vs Celtics

Hypebeast Aminu

ya right, put some respek

OG was an absolute monster on defense - he got to the line - earning fouls for the team, and had a demoralizing dunk against brown

Yeah, GTJ's effort on the defensive end so far this year has been a noticeable improvement.

Random observations:

-boucher's handle is better. 4 or 5 times he carried the ball up court and it looked way more safe than it did in the past. Someone told him to tighten it up and he has. He had a great game

-precious had great stats and lots of potential...but most of the incohesion in the first 5 minutes was due to his mistakes. Fred was talking to him in between plays. Trent was too. Even scottie did once. Not the kind of mistakes that will be fixed fast. He's alot more raw than Barnes in just knowing where to be on floor.

-doesnt need to be said, barnes incredible.

-alvin settling in. It occured to me that his observations during game had mroe substance than we're used to. Pointing out nuanced stuff. He's gonna work out great.

-huge win. Fred is our leader. This board has an anti-fred problem.

At this point I don't see how Nurse pulls Scottie from the starting lineup once Siakam comes back.

Trent Jr's defense was amazing tonight. So was Fred's. So was OG's. So was Scottie's.
So was Dragic's. So was Achiuwa's. So was Birch's. So was Boucher's.

agreed.

but what happens when Pascal is back?

Move precious to the bench...

Pascal is not a 5.

The only people that look stupid are the people that keep hyping him up as the next kawho type... accept him for who he is as an elite 3cand d guy and leave it at that.... most of the hate on this board comes when guys start overhyping ertain players and failing to recognize the strengths of others...

Watch on YouTube

...and is there not another reason to love Malika Andrews besides the fact that's gorgeous and intelligent...but her NBA Today show is talking Raptors when the topic isn't about one of the Raptors stars leaving???

We just hype up this kind of content!!!

Rachel Nichols never gave the Raptors any good coverage.

The most impressive play was when Scottie timed his contest with Browns leaning jumper, that told me everything i needed to know about his defensive ceiling

Yoooo i just was placing money on Barnes to win ROY and the line moved from +1200 to +800 while I was placing the bet since the game ended.

Barnes is really going to elevate the ceiling of this team. Great win.
