Yo, the best player on our team might just be the rookie.

OG always shot as a catch & shoot player, now he's trying to create off the dribble and it's been an ugly disaster


The team as a whole is playing like a mess on offense. They'll settle in and OG will take more shots in rhythm.

I’m on board with the fail until you stop failing development process as long as they’re playing solid defence.
It’s worked with Siakam, Fred and Boucher so I’m fine with OG learning through experience.
If it clicks for him, this team rises a level.

Great game by Scottie obviously but people need to calm down a little too. Fine to be excited but Celtics also looked about as ass as the Raptors did in their home opener. Hope the Boston dominated media doesn’t overhype Scottie too much.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Scottie deserves some love by the media after that game.

If you will remember just a short time ago, everyone in the media was calling him a mistake at #4.

This is the first game where I’m truly blown away by Scottie. Like he finally put his stamp on the game and was completely in control. Stepping around players for layups and dominating the glass. In the right spots on defense. And scary thing is he probably still had a pretty low usage of possessions compared to what a star player would get.

Scottie's already passed Simmons in value.

I was getting sick of having to big up Matt Thomas, Terence Davis, Oshae Brissett and Paul Watson over the last few years...so to have a rookie that is actually good and has real potential...is refreshing.

Really curious to see Barnes and Siakam play together. That should be fun.

The Raps last 6 quarters have been incredible from a defensive standpoint. Only 124 points allowed. 24 points was the most points allowed in any one Q

Would Scottie qualify as a Unicorn?
He has special skills for someone his size.

OG is one player nobody needs to worry about. He's an obscenely hard worker and is a very, very smart guy.

He's simply trying to play a role he hasn't before and especially for him, since he's not a natural scorer, it's a very tough adjustment.

I expect Barnes too take that role now as he's an absolute,natural and instinctive basketball player and his experience, handles and processing will allow everyone else to let the game come to them.

This is going to be a very, very fun team to watch soon. If we keep DAL to under 100 tomorrow, when's the last time that's even been done?

Huh. Who’s stat line does that remind you of?
