OG dominant offensively 1st quarter and then dominant defensively the 2nd quarter.

Love the way FVV is playing. I'm his biggest hater but he's controlling the game like a mature PG.

This crowd sucks. Are the Leafs fans at this game or are the tickets just too expensive for the real fans to go anymore?

What a 1st half with how OG is playing and seeing our rookie Scottie Barnes playing calm and what not.

Barnes looked like he was heading for an offnight and then goes beastmode for 4 minutes, insane.

OG has 5 steals, beasting on both ends.

When Siakam gets back the defense will be actually be unfair lol

When Scottie came alive to go with OG's play we are pretty tough.

Svi is not a perfect player but those sneaky steals are nice

Entertaining half. They played great.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

My hasty hot-take:

Play banton in Trent's spot during money-time tonight. It's probably premature to do it.....but I just wanna see it.

Trent's not playing bad. He's definitely hustling. I just wanna see Banton get the chance.

Barnes needs to be this aggressive all the time.

I am the biggest FVV critic but he is playing great this game! I hope he can keep this up and has turned the corner.

Honestly feel like Banton has had a bigger impact on this game than Duarte

Scottie has tricky post moves and follows his own shot well

FVV is off the ball. Scottie and Banton on ball

I think once Pascal comes back our offense is gonna blow up. FVV need his boi Pascal so he can focus on his scoring.

OG having 5 steals at the half is insane. What’s the franchise record??

Sabonis has been contained (3-for-3). It has been impressive to watch.
Carlisle has an issue playing both Turner and Sabonis
