This comment makes absolutely no sense. I can’t believe I’m hearing this from a mod tbh. It’s not that hard to understand. Lmao. You guys sound like conspiracy theorist flat earthers. Bobby Webster is the gm. When you move to a position like president you simply oversee decisions you’re not the one making moves like…

When masai was the gm before Webster who was making the moves? Tim leiweke?


not all GM's r created equal and you know this, this is nothing new.


You guys are taking with the confidence of nba insiders based on literally bull **** talking out of your ass but get mad when I make player assessments… meanwhile you somehow know the inner workings of the raptors organization and somehow don’t understand how work is delegated in corporations.

I think it's evident he's not one of those guys. He's needs good players around him to play better himself.

Hopefully he backs it up tomorrow. Maxey is going to want it bad.


Lmaoooo… dude that was so premature since edgecombe tied it. I mean I understand the passion in the moment but he’s a rookie and Maxey is a star… needs to humble himself a bit imo


nah we need dogs like this on the team...humble doesn't get you anywhere

After 3 years, his time is up.


He’s shooting 42% from 3 in the G League on 5 attempts a game. Let’s hope it translates to the NBA

You need a mix of players and sometimes you just need that cocky sob on your team as well.

Well it's not like Gradey can shoot right now so might as well try this guy.

If you’re a nobody who’s just trying to establish himself in the league then yes you shouldn’t be taunting star players. If Martin established himself as a player then I wouldn’t care.

I was only refreshing the scoreboard and saw the box score with the horrible shooting night.

Got to tune in and he makes a clutch play to CMB


Besides shooting i guess everything else went well?

Started out super cold (at least 0-5 possibly more) but was making good reads from the jump and was locked in defensively all game. Probably my favourite game of the season from him on that end, did a great job at keeping Maxey/VJ in front of him and was on point with his rotations & help. Was great moving the ball especially in transition and had a ton of hockey assists by pushing the ball up court after makes.

He's still a sub-par playmaker off the live dribble for a lead guard, but he had a couple good dump off passes like the one to CMB late. Seemed a little bit too focused on trying to generate paint touches, and passed up a few good looks on the perimeter to drive into the paint but rarely put any real pressure on the rim.

Obviously 6-22 is horrible, but he played pretty well in other aspects and the +13 is pretty reflective overall imo

Love it! I didnt know that happened at the end. We need this type of confidence, energy, hustle, and physicality from the bench. Really rooting for him to be that guy who can consistently give us more than those other guards/wings we have. This is his best opportunity this year to try to prove it.

Can the Raptors do MPJ for Barrett trade? He addresses all the perimeter shooting needs and he's apparently a "lock" to be traded. BKN would want multiple 1st's though and it's hard to say no.

Scottie pulled one on the refs tonight. Stole one from them.

Silver will be denying us a 1st round pick for the next 3 seasons.

I'd rather stick with the home grown kid, and not the player with chronic back issues

Then we lose that rim pressure that we need so badly.

Walter is probably gonna be out for a while so hopefully Martin continues to tear it up and earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

Finally, **** Natalie Sago.

CMB is shooting 36.6% from 3 this year. That's much more than expected...better than IQ...lol


On 1 attempt a game lol. Need some volume from my boy.

Oh I agree. But if CMB shot like Ochai has this year, a bunch of people would be saying "what did you expect, he can't shoot".

The 36.6% is hope that maybe that has improved
