Classic Raptors. Beat the Magic, Warriors and Heat but lose to the Nets, Wizards and an injury depleted Nuggets team.

They must be showcasing. Battle should be a staple by now.


You think our wing scrubs have been building their value with their play? All it shows is you dont reward good play but play guys based on draft position at the cost of wins/losses.

You could see that from Sportsnet’s full speed replay taken from the opposite side of the court?

Shead was bad too. Better take both hawk games

Barnes / Bamba
CMB / Mamu
Ingram / Battle
RJ / Walter
IQ / Shead

That's what we should be using.

Looks like he's going to get a lot more mins going forward so he needs to start figuring out his offensive game and how he can be more effective at that end.


CMB might be better than Barnes at the same age, just that Barnes got the start, even Barnes wasn't a good fit with Siakam.
I project CMB being a better 3&D player if Barnes is at best a 3&D with passing.

He does good things out there but his brick laying is frustrating to say the least.

Quickley literally provides nothing but 3 pointers. He can't defend, he dribbles the air out the ball and only finds Poeltl on the pick n roll

Barnes was the rookie of the year in a stacked draft class... CMB wont even make the all rookie teams... what are you smoking with that comparison loll

I think they're showing they can play together in the future especially defensively. Just will need to really optimize the fit around them to make it work offensively.

This team is 4th in East currently. But 4 teams are right behind them and Raps could easily be 8th in a week or 2. Will the narrative change then?

Jakobe was a minus 14 in a 3 point game playing over 23 min.
