I am just going to believe he was the first round pick in 2023 and not that other guy

The Raptors record by Stoudamire, just allow Battle to shoot every time he gets it.

It's going to be hard to not play Battle.

He got hurt at the worst possible time. If this team is fully healthy, he has RJ, IQ, BI and Scottie all who need the ball, whoever is playing with those guys isn't going to touch the ball much. Fit wise, that makes Ochai and Battle the better fits especially when both are better defenders

I don’t want to see anyone hurt but I not going to lie and say Temple is a bad option.

It’s been a good career, Garrett.

The 2 youngest guys carrying the oldest to the locker room.

Is this team going to be stupid again when a guy has a super hot hand but they decide their bricks are more important lol

Just shows how low IQ these guys are. Normal teams do everything they can to force feed a hot hand while we do everything to ignore it lol

This is what makes Scottie Barnes a difference maker.

Hope Temple is ok. I heard rumors on here that he would be an assistant coach next year anyway so hopefully that injury didn't impact any of his career plans.

Garrett might as well call it a career.

Battle making Dick expendablish

I'm interested in how minutes shake out next year.

This year has been abnormal in that the roster's MPG has been skewed due to injuries or us sitting players.

How do you think the Raptors faired based on your expectations?
