This team goes as IQ goes. Loving those dagger 3’s he hit to kill the sixers momentum, thats what we need out of that pg spot.

They were blitzing BI heavy and clogging the paint so both BI and RJ were at a disadvantage there. Jakobe, IQ and RJ (in the 2nd half) made them pay for those blitz. You love to see it.

Crazy that this is the 4th best start in franchise history after 15 games.

It is a great win. But I think we can do better than that on closing the game. Those Phillie run in the 4th q, shouldn’t happened.

Thanks. Funny the team is so deep now that for some reason my brain didn't realize he was missing.

Could've used him tonight. 76ers owned us on the glass.

This probably would have been a good game for Mogbo to get some minutes, but they've obviously got him working on some things with the 905 and didn't want to fly him to Philly when the 905 also played today (and moved to 5-0 on the year).

And 905 play tomorrow...so makes sense to keep him home.

But after that, 905 don't play for 9 days, so he will be back then.

So even with IQ playing just okay... We can take a second and laugh at the people freaking out about IQ and Yak right?

Easily IQ's best game as a Raptor. What a performance.

IQ saves us from the refs letting Philly play rugby against us.

The stuff Philly got away with tonight was crazy.

Raptors have been the best team in the East so far. We’ll see if it holds up vs the Knicks, Celtics and Heat

I’m still not taking Pistons seriously though Duran has been a monster

Detroit was a good team last year, has one of the best offensive creators in the league and has won 11 in a row. I’m taking them seriously myself.

They’re bad match up for us as well. Nobody outside of CmB and Scottie can guard Cade and Duren will absolutely bully us in the paint.

They can throw Ausar, Holland, etc at BI and Scottie.

They seem hungrier than us too, that match up is no joke.

Yes, I was pegging them top tier this year and Cade will be headed to the Allstar game again this year.

The other East team standing may come to who is healthiest...

IMO that’s just normal “fake comeback” stuff.

We know it all too well, but it’s nice to be on the other side.

It's really nice being able to tune into a full game without getting frustrated at our play. The last few years was rough.

It was also a bit of a ref run as they were calling early 4th Q fouls on everything. This is an impressive win for a team that has no history of winning together. They took Philly's run and weathered it, never gave up the lead and patiently exploited their defense.

The nitpicking in the game was probably turnovers from Scottie and BI just trying to make too many cute plays, or poor recognition of the help. This wasn't a good defense that required full length court passes to get easy buckets.

One question I have after last night, is what is up with Drummond’s hair. Looks unhoused. They’re still paying him right?

It's been a discussion point.

The NBA is having a bit of a hair moment with Jaylen Brown's shoe polish antics.

The "Yeah, BUT......" posts are so annoying. Forgive us for being excited that the team we love has won 10 of their first 15 games. I almost prefer the constantly negative posters who have suddenly disappeared because at least we have relief from their usual tripe.
