Good for IQ really nice to see that go for him. RJ effort in the 4th not going to waste.

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

CMB wasn't just on the glass. He anchored our entire defense for long stretches. Dude is special.

I know we weren't going to let Scottie sit out the rest of the game but I though CMB should have remained with the way he was playing.

That's cool. We got IQ.


It'll be interesting to see how Trae turns out in terms of being an impact player..but keeping IQ was the safer play. Better D, worse O, smaller contract.

Also need to wonder if his shooting will come back..to around 37-39.5%, which would be much needed on this team.

For some reason the guy makes more off balance 3s than stand-still (and/or) catch and shoot 3s.

lol.

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!

Felt he was really underutilized offensively. No way he should finish with only 3 FGAs.

This makes up for the Jeremy Lamb game winner back in the day. Feels good being on the winning side this time.

A little love? He just carried the offense the way a first option star would. The guy was on a kawhi run in the fourth.

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.

Still a win-win trade..on a team full of scorers, you need that big defensive forward. On a team full of defensive forwards, you need scorers.
