Raptors vs Bucks - Oct 24th - 6:30PM EST - TSN

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Raps are probably going to have to outscore teams, the defence is not good

[canada_dry]

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.

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.

The loss is on him at least partly when he was as trash as he was late in the game. I agree he played well most of the game, just not when it mattered most. Like at all.

People saying he was trash all game are not accurate. Nor is anyone saying he was good minus free throws because crunch time in a close game is really critical.

And thats offensively. Defensively? Cover your eyes. It got ugly.

starters ran out of gas and giannis is giannis and just kept going

[dTox]

This team is projected to be playing .500 ball, losses like this are expected, I'm not mad. But that IQ contract, oof, decent player though.

[MoMan24]

Been saying it for a while - I think IQ is a much bigger problem than most people think. I like him as a person but he gets absolutely torched and doesn't have anything to offer the game if his 3 ball isn't dropping.

IQ strangles the offense by holding the ball. He's not a particularly good playmaker, he can't really get to the rim with any consistency and when he does get to the rim he struggles to finish. Why does he have the ball as much as he does? How on earth are the you the PG and Brandon does not get touches in 4th. IQ got torched tonight by Cole Anthony who comes off the bench and makes 2.3 million. IQ is really a bench player but if we keep pretending he is a good player and a PG who should have the ball more then Scottie and Brandon down the stretch of games than we are cooked.

[S.W.A.N]

overall pretty good game. some execution issues in the 4th were costly. Giannis is a beast and when his team hits open 3s he is even more dangerous.

This starting 5 still hasn’t posted a positive net rating lol.

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.

By still you mean in 2 games?

FWIW - they were positive literally on Wednesday

No they weren’t. They were a negative 1 in a 20 point win lol.

Do your research instead of spouting stuff off the cuff.

lol still such a weird thing to complain about after 2 games

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.

I’m interested to see what the next Atlanta game looks like. Trae was pretty much a non factor in the game and I’m not even sure if it was our defence that took him out of it. I still think he’s trying to play more off the ball when in reality he should be running like 50 pick and pops with Porzingis, 50 pick and rolls with Jalen Johnson. He should be involved in actions throughout the game.

[Potential]

For some reason I predicted the Hawks to bounce back and actually win today in Orlando. They're 2 minutes from doing that

Who cares who brings it up. IQ NEEDS to get off the ball right away if he has nothing cause he can't generate offense for himself or others nearly well well enough. This Scottie dribble stuff is so lame and played out.

[dballislife]

i think to close games we need more ingram and rj touches over quickley and barnes

[causal_fan]

Quickley continues to disappoint.

[xAIRNESSx]

They should let Trey go until he allows another baserunner

[dballislife]

we gotta define our roles better, especially down the stretch in close games

I swear people don’t watch games.

Cole Anthony played well and hit some shots. Just because a guy he’s matched up with hits shots doesn’t mean it necessarily was because IQ played bad.

IQ is a good playmaker and protects the ball very well, and tonight was one of the only guys who could break guys down and make a play. He literally just missed free throws or else it would’ve been a great instead of just good night.

Overall - early IQ returns de promising. Hes played quite well and that’s with his main skill (shooting) being bad.

Also lol at IQ can’t finish. The guy is like shooing 70% on 2’s this year lol

Scottie -17

Fire Darko. Trade everyone. Fire Bobby.

Scottie needs more help and the team needs to be better built around him.
