Everyone knows how good Scottie B can be, he definitely has top 10 potential in this league, he just needs to try close the gap between his best and worst performances. It helps that the Knicks imports (Quickley and RJ) have really been in sync with Scottie tonignt.

The Raps are too good to tank now, at the very least, a play in spot should be the goal, maybe even the 6th or 5th seed.

When Scottie plays like he does tonight, Toronto is very very hard to beat

Scottie Barnes was unbelievable in that game, that's the best 2 way performance I've seen in a Raptors Jersey since Kawhi.

Nah, I still think Mobley and don't forget Sengun are in the discussion...although personally I think Cade is above the rest tbh.


Either way, hell of a draft class

Wasn't against scrubs either but one of the best teams in the East.

There is a lot to like about Toronto and your future.

Still don't get the Ingram trade but you have a great young and plenty of assets (players and picks) to improve

Don’t forget Giddey, Franz, and Murphy. And to some extent, Suggs.

Ingram is one of the reasons Scottie looks so good. Scottie isn't expending as much energy trying to be the half court offense and it's allowing him to be a fast break and defensive beast.

Ingram complements Barnes/Barret/IQ and Barnes doesn't need to force things on offence now that we have Ingram. Ingram is the only guy on the Raptors that's a midrange sniper, draws attention on offence and can create nothing out of something when D tightens up. We've been missing an alpha guy on offence since Kawhi and Ingram brings that, obviously Kawhi is better but Ingram players are rare to have without giving up heavy talent.

Hawks don't have anyone to guard Lauri.

Never realised it from that perspective, but it does make a lot of sense. I am just glad Ingram is finally having a decent run of luck with health.

I definitely am going to start watching The Raptors more on League Pass, you have a real fun and energetic team at the moment (which has its ups and downs)

Apparently, the Jazz don’t have anyone to guard Vit Krejci (or Jalen Johnson).

I thought sure the Pacers weren't that bad, and would right this ship as we get healthy. I'm starting to question that. :lol:

The Hawks are 4th in Defensive Rating on the season, probably higher since Trae went down. What are you talking about? Their defense is mediocre?

Jalen Johnson is the LeBron-esque point guard for the Hawks, Fam 8-)

Mr Nembhard, and Mr Siakam ... don't you guys have hobbies you'd like to work on for the next few months? I think you should just take a break.

Even one of our guys on a hardship deal didn't play tonight. You know your luck is **** when the hardship signings are unable to play as well.
