RJ, IQ and Scottie has been a net negative for 80+ games now.

This starting 5 ain’t it and it won’t get fixed.

That's why bobbie will let it play out then make moves accordingly. The players won't be able to say we didn't get a chance to make it work.

Giannis is that guy tho.

30-20-7 like cmon thats crazy

I know but theres no way Giannis should be putting up stats like that and you still getting amazing games from scrubs like Rollins or Cole Anthony.
It's one or the other

Nick Nurse would never

Sorry, but Jak still does not look good.

Hate me all you want, but something is off with him.

Tough L but the season is early.

Need more from Barnes and Dick.

Cole Anthony carving up the Raptors like this has me looking at Trae Young a little differently. It's a simple game if you're a quick guard who can dribble the basketball.

quickley was good on offense until the end, but was torched by bucks guards all night

Weird analysis considering how well he did everything tonight except shoot the 3.

The guy so far has missed free throws and 3 pointers and everything else has been good.

Weird analysis that you think he did everything else good.

Yeah. Probably the back issue he was dealing with all preseason, no...?

Played so good against the Hawks and then put up a sh*t performance like this. Disappointing

I'm really hoping it's just an early season conditioning issue. Hopefully not his back flaring up again.

Jak played one of his worst games, but Turner was equally bad so kind of cancelled each other out. Difference was mainly the offensive boards that kept them in the game and then the bricks we chucked up at the line in the 4th quarter killed any chance.

Why TF are you even paying Ingram $40M if he's not getting his number called to finish even one time?

Honestly everyone has been trash from players to coaching for a couple seasons now.

IMO Darko has gotta go, his adjustments are truly awful. He makes Jay Triano look competent. Hes a great development coach, but an awful head coach.

His time is coming. We are going to get destroyed by actual good teams playing this gimmick defense. Half competent players are blowing by our guys at half court and we are left scrambling every single time. Except guys like Ingram gets caught being lazy number of times. The defense especially does not suit the personnel of starting lineup IMO.

On the other end, difficult to win when you got guards bricking FT's and you got Barnes doing his best Simmons impression.

He missed free throws but other than that played a really good game.

19/7/8 and only 2 turnovers. Loss certainly wasn’t on him.

Giannis had 20 rebounds, Jak and Barnes had 10 combined. There’s the game. Giannis had as many offensive boards as those two did defensive.

He looks like he's moving in slow motion out there. I definitely think it was bothering him.

Raps need more size and shooting
CMB will help with size on the wing but we need a big
Quick RJ back court something needs to give
Need more burst an defence

dballislife · Post #598 » by **dballislife** » Sat Oct 25, 2025 1:18 am

poeltl would make a elite bench big...so much floor spacing and running around in todays league for poeltl types, honestly cmb could start later in season

4th quarter D was pretty bad though. Anthony blew by him numerous times. Definitely wasn't the reason why we lost though.

Yeah same thing in the first game. Hit everything inside and moved the ball well. I've actually been happy with his game over all so far. The shots will come
