Sketchy reffing first half, but we could not be denied. Everyone pretty much contributed tonight and Gradey muscle gains! too strong!

On a more serious note, that was a statement win honestly, media had been hyping ATL as a top 4 seed, so this drubbing should be an encouraging sign

Darko also has them playing the right way. Ball movement & active hands on defense, can't ask for much more

Most enjoyable game in years honestly. Those Nurse undersized teams that ISO all day were legitimate eyesores, Raptors basketball is finally back

A sneaky good consolidation trade for another star with 3 players plus picks going out...masai would have loved to do it, now that this team is so improved

I don’t care that he missed every three, IQ is way better than Trae. He is so horrific on defence, he might as well shoot at his own basket. Great win.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

I think 50 wins is a real possibility if they can stay healthy.....starters are solid, depth is there. Raptors teams in the past have had regular season success with teams built like this.

Remember when everyone was panicking after the 1st pre-season game. Lol.

What I liked was it seemed like the ball just kept finding the right player. Seemed like most of our players had their own runs where they scored like 3 possessions in a row.

Was disappointed in Jak and IQ.

Thought everyone else was fine.

We're relentless in transition and early offense. I like that emphasis for this roster as long as we're committed to it.

Atlanta looked like Ass. Everyone played well and efficient. Only thing that worried me is still can’t make open 3s consistently. Need to see the offense against better competition.

Ujiri got fired for this.

They were also trying super hard to get Hawks to come back in the 4th.

Tbh I said this team was top 6 in the east and I still believe that regardless of how negative everyone thinks I am.
