I just need to see IQ pass it to BI MUCH MORE! BI would have gotten 2x 40 points game already if it wasn't for IQ.

Yesterday's game, we needed that one-run to create that separation and have some cushion while Dallas were turning the ball over but I kept seeing "Schroeder&Pascal"!

I think Jak should come off the bench for now (esp against Wemby). Put Scottie at the C, and move Ingram to the PF spot, then bring Ochai into the starting line up. Alternatively, put CMB as a starting 4 (though I don't think he is quite ready yet).

Yeah Wemby is just a horrible matchup for Jak.

The only team who gave SA a problem this year was San Antonio, who did not start a traditional C and matched up Zion on him. Jak will get ate alive, but would be good to throw against Kornet on the bench lineups.

If I were Darko, I'd go IQ/Agbaji/RJ/Ingram/Scottie, and bring off the bench Shead/Dick/Battle/Mamu/Poeltl.

Is this the game where Scottie slows down on a fastbreak before dunking it only to get swatted by Wemby? Lol

scottie and ingram is dropping 24 and 22 on good ts% and rj is friggin shooting 78% from 2s so far...quickley needs to lower his usage rate imo since hes the 3rd 4th option most nights

This is the point where I mention that this team is one of the worst in the NBA at winning close games for years. 2022-23 28th in the NBA, 2023-24 they were 25th, 2024-2025 they were 27th, and so far they are dead last.

Of all the things this team has missed over the last few years one of the big things we never really talk about it a closer, a player who is clutch and can reliably manufacture offence in late game situations. Ingram is supposed to be that guy now but we haven't seen it so far. Maybe he will figure it out as the season progresses, this is why I wanted him to get some reps with the team last season, too many turnovers at the end of games in clutch situations so far, it really looks like the lack of experience playing with this group to me.

Raptors loss tonight incoming, we might keep it close but no way the defense will stop the spurs tonight, not Wemby at least

Looks like everyone is expecting a loss. Handing the Spurs their first L could be a huge, statement win.

GO RAPS!

You people have had this same problem with every PG we’ve ever had.

Scottie is often the one bringing the ball up the court btw.

It feels like we are about to get a 81 point Kobe type game from Wemby. A win would almost be mind boggling after last night.

Ngl, I'd prefer if Ingram's usage with the starters remained lower and higher with the bench. I'd rather he be kept in for his gravity in Scottie+RJ lineups so that RJ/IQ can cook off the scrambled rotations (If IQ can hit an open 3). Ideally Scottie and Ingram lift the bench offense and up their usage, and to close games Ingram should be getting more touches.

Sad the raptors have become the biggest Joke in the NBA.

Oh well, let's go Blue Jays

Not overreacting to the losses but expecting this to be a loss

3 in a row and all you're going hear is doom and gloom.

Those teams have good young players. We got bad contracts. No cap space. Haven't had a good rookie in forever. Untradeable contracts.

We played 12 quarters so far. The first 6 were good, the last 6 not so. I dont think its to hard to believe, that the first 6 can actually be replicated.

The offense hasn’t even been the problem. All 3 of Ingram Barnes and Barrett have been super efficient. They just can’t get stops when necessary. I blame the reffing for **** up our defense. Also quickley been bricking all his wide open looks.
