Really think Barnes going hard for ROY

I think since Cunningham's pistons stink, he's out and its down to Mobley and Barnes.

If Barnes keeps playing like this even when OG comes back, it's game over

Thad hit some huge threes, Flynn hit some clutch shots and GTJ sealed the win with some CLUTCH free throw shooting...but I still can't believe that garbage 6th foul on Siakam lol.

This win mostly comes down to Scottie though. The off-balance jumper with the shot clock winding to give us a lead with 4 minutes left was unbelievable...and then he followed that up with a couple big boards, a beautiful pass to Thad for a dunk and a massive block on Curry late in the game. That all-star break was the best thing for Scottie. He's playing some of his best ball of the season (20/9/2 on 70% shooting in the last 4 games) and making a serious push back to the top of the ROTY ladder.

I mean hold on, Siakam was flat footed, reaching in on Seth's drive.
Sure, Seth drove into his body, but Siakam's arm was directly across the path and he wasnt moving either way - thats been a theme with Siakam for a couple years, reaching on the perimeter instead of playing proper D

Yup Pascal has a bad habit of that, and it causes foul trouble. Scottie did the same thing late, played JJ too tight when he had his dribble still, and Johnson blew by for a dunk. Leo correctly pointed it out. Our guys need to give a little cushion
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

What makes you ask that question? Is there something specific that gives off Scottish vibes?

No I'm not spinning this one to make siakam look bad. Thay defense happens all game. The refs pick and choose when they wanna,call it. And they never call it for siakam but they call it against him. Soakam is constantly shafted by the whistle. I've never seen a first option player attack the rim so much with nothing to show for it.


We have a Toronto Raptors jersey on, you should never ever expect fair whistles. Ever.


Yeah but thats my point. That ones not on siakam. We can't just expect him to not play defense to avoid the whistle. He did what he had to do. It wasn't a blatant foul he moved his feet and bumped Curry with the vody while he was driving into him and refs called ot because Curry fell. And because it's siakam.


I expect him to move his feet to play defense and not reach, he gets lazy, he had a span of some great defense this season but its reverting. He also doesn't really challenge at the rim to avoid fouls.
I agree he doesn't get rewarded, our whole team doesn't tho, but somehow Demar was getting what 8 fts a game? its infuriating being a raptors fan

Thad has that Cameron Payne three point form. It is funny how a lot of lefties don’t square to the basket.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Fred said he wanted to win all the awards, but he literally can never win ROTY,

I guess Scottie took that personally

Flynn plays with a ton of poise, it's nice to have more of a traditional half-court point guard, with all due respect to FVV he's more of a small SG who is just forced to handle and run plays out of necessity, but Flynn just has a smoothness to his game as a ball handler in the half court, reminds me a bit of Mike Conley in that sense. Nice floater and mid range game as well

He did move his feet. It was a body bump.

That was a different Era of basketball btw when demar was here. They were still calling those lou will type underhook fouls and jump into the defender type fouls. Demar was a pumpfake master he was always Baiting guys.

Siakam is different he just goes up in traffic but he gets no respect. He also gets bodied a lot. I can't explain it as a Raptor specific thing though aeems more siakam specific. Idk what it is. Maybe they don't like his ayes. He's also not hyped up by the nba machine. We don't get national games because of siakam.

Especially against zones. He made the sweet dish to Thad from the foul line. Earlier Thad made a dish from the same spot for a dunk, Boucher I think. But mostly vs the zone we didn't put a man there. Easy to beat that zone just put one of those two good passers there and get them the ball, they'll make a play. Most of the game was painful watching our zone offense


Originally, I was being sarcastic and trolling.

Now that you bring me back to reality out of my troll zone...the original post kind of makes sense.

I'm a good influence. And we got our accent bond going.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
