PG: APOLOGIZE TO IQ

[MEDIC]

lmao IQ gets blown by for all the hate and then hits the biggest shot of the year for instant redemption.

That's IQ. The polarizer.

I lost my mind when he didn't fight through that screen & sprint with Melo. (Edit: it was sexton)

Jumped out of my chair when he hit that shot.

[ForeverTFC]

So Hawks basically traded Luka on a rookie scale salary for Trae and then ended up trading him for salary filler CJ. Oooooof

If/when Dallas trades AD, the return for Luka might not be all that better....

Crazy to think about.

[Tripod]

That’s the kind of shot that only quickley can make on this team. This is why he’s valuable. They should be running more plays to get him those shots

Yes, and reduce the number of times he runs point. Shead and Quickley can play together, increase those times by getting rid of logjam at SG. Clear out the scrubs that get in the way. Only need one of Dick/Walter/Agbaji.

I agree. I also think they should address that bench wing by adding an actual proven guy. Imagine if we actually had a productive player in dick/Walter’s role that could be a movement catch and shoot guy similar to quickley?

Bring back Boucher too...he isn't playing in Boston

[PushDaRock]

At least we won. I hope this game wakes people up to the fact that we need a big. No one sets screens. We don't have an easy target in PnR to connect the offense. Every bucket is hard because we don't have creators who can ISO. This team needs a decent big man.

What? We need a big? First time hearing about this all season

But big mans are only for defense. Haven't you heard?

That's the word on the street

Trade trees are so fun to follow in situations like this lol.

CMB too tired from chasing rebounds to join the celebration

[Mack11]

[bluerap23]

That wasn’t his fault on the screen. There was no help defence from Mamu so Ball had an easy layup.

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Celtics then back to back against the 76ers. Ugh, doesn't get any easier

do we? we keep winning without poeltl tho

[MEDIC]

Need to give a little love to RJ as well. He almost single handedly kept the Raptors in the game during clutch time. Shout out to CMB as well. Rookie playing big!

A little? He didn't hit the final shot, but he carried the team in the 4th & won us that one.

[Appostis]

Just hoping for a quick recovery for BI.

I actually think the "we need a big" talk is fairly overdone. Every team in the league "needs a big" if their starting centre is injured, there's not nearly as many starting calibre 7 footers out there as people seem to think.

It was more "the I hope this game wakes people up..." as if every Raptors forum & media member hasn't been hammering that same point since Jak got injured

We barely won tonight.

These next 3 game are going to expose no big C

There still needs to be resistance. That wasn't a tough screen to get around. You can't be like......Oh man, I got screened & just give up. Watch shead & Lowry navigate screens.

BTW....I was referring to an earlier play where ball got a wide open layup.

Edit: sorry, it was Sexton on a cut

[whitehops]

HUGE shot by IQ. i had a feeling karma would get the hornets after they celebrated like they already won the game after lamelo's layup.

[S.W.A.N]

Guess we gotta wait a few games before trading him now.

Hopefully we get outrebounded by 30 so Bobby finally wakes up!!!
