Future is bright in Raptors land. IQ and RJ balled out once again.

Good night for our picks - Raps and Pacers both lose.

Good game, good loss. RJ and IQ look like the new DD and Lowry.

I can't believe how we went from a team with no guards to a small team full of guards.

Managed to get first page real estate 50 mins after thread opened. That's gotta be a record...

Game seemed to be way closer than expected after a predictably slow 1st. Nice not to get blown out.

Give Carton minutes, let's see what he can do in normal game conditions.

Carton was out with an ankle injury but we're already playing a bunch of munchkins so who should he be playing over?

Wouldn't it make sense to play JFL considering we gave him a standard nba contract?

This was a good loss. IQ and RJ played well. Just one game back of Memphis now.

I thought more people would be excited about IQ's great game. Too close to 25 years old?

Knicks fans said IQ and RJ would just keep grinding regardless the situation when the trade happened. Game like this just proved it.

Clearly defense is the difference between winning and losing for this team.

I said this in the GDT after the game but I like the outlook of this team. I know that may sound weird to say after we just lost our 40th game.

The last few weeks, the guys we want to lead the team, have in fact been doing so. That's all we should want to see. The losses don't matter, especially when we are missing our best player and starting C.

Dick has had a rough couple of games but that is to be expected after that long stretch of excellent play.

4 of our 5 starters are solidified for next season. If Masai can nail this offseason, things will only go up from here. Is it a perfect SL? Of course not. But aside from DEN and BOS, every single team in the league would like an improvement in their starting lineup, so we wouldn't exactly be outliers there.
