PG: Raptors win in OT

[mihaic]

Haven't read the PG to see if people noticed, but I thought CMB poked it from Bona on the intentional miss, as they were about to call timeout.

Somebody has to foul hard Bona, he made a lot of hard plays at our guys. Someone should make them aware. Same for Oubre.

It takes some big balls to talk trash to Maxey as a rookie.

I like it.

Yeah. I love it. Backs it up with his hustle and defense too.

I have been saying for a while that we need a player or.two with an edge to them.

We have a bunch now. Scottie, CMB, Shead, Martin. Even Walter has some dog in him I’d argue.

Yeah, I like all of those guys. My type of players.

Keep them all. Find more.

[TOStateofMind]

One of the more satisfying ones. Refs tried but the challenges came in handy.

[causal_fan]

Am I weird for thinking at full strength we have a legit shot against any eastern conference team in the playoffs?

Only worried about the west.

Yes- we are first round cannon fodder- and that is part of the development process, and that is ok.
The worst thing we could do is trade kids and picks to get a geezer- we win a round, and have no future.

Well said - couldn't agree more - let the process play out, no need to sell out to win a round and dim the future

[Tha Cynic]

Dare I say it Scottie is improving his offensive game. Like some smart shot creating in this one. The consistency is key and how he does it against bigger lineups, though I don’t see Philly’s bigs as small they seemed physical to me.

The handle is night and day from last year imo. He can dribble in the paint now. He’s not forced to pick up his dribble as much.

That’s a good point - the patented picking up his dribble hasn’t been there at all this year. Wow, I had missed that

[TheRaptor!]

I wonder if they'd still flex like Gradey on the team win pic once he's traded

Sixers reddit crying about the refs saying they've never seen the refs glazed a team so hard before. Saying they were playing 5v8 all night.

You can't make this up, omfg.

Those calls that went our way at the end of the fourth, that deserved to go our way, were not redirected to the Sixers. That's on the refs. There was no way I thought we'd win two challenges even if the evidence supported it. You know, "Hand is part of the ball."

I don't think Bona had possession of the ball at the time but CMB did tap it out of his hands towards his teammates as Bona was about to grab the rebound. Would've probably called a timeout but they would've had some clock taken off of 0.8 seconds as well. Not sure if they would've had enough time to get a good shot off but guess you never know with Maxey.

Big game to win since we play them again tomorrow. A split is fine. Losing both bad.

But let's try and sweep.

Teams are going to dislike playing us in the playoffs if we can get healthy.

[Boogie!]

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

No way man.......we need more humble young men.....like Gradey.

Strong Character.

Gradeys humility has nothing to do with his talent. I just want productivity.

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.

Get this soft azz attitude outta here!

[TheRaptor!]

The moment IQ is gone this board will understand & realize the appreciation he deserves. This board seems to think that everyone must have an A+ game, every game, & anything else is uncivilized.

If he is gone, it would be for a better PG at a borderline all star or all star level

I dont think he will be missed

he sucks but will still get us a borderline all star or legit all star player

No one said he "sucks"

We also typically over pay players to package them too, so it makes sense to trade him for an upgrade

I mean Trae was an all star last year and was traded for CJ lol

In the words of Malice from the Clipse, “I tried being humble, humble get no respect.”

And being arrogant is also stupid if you suck. If gradey dick did the same thing would it be cool?

Let’s all be douchebags without backing it up good logic guys

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.

yeah because in most corporate settings the CEO or COO or the president doesn't get final say right..... ? come on man.

There’s literally evidence and discussion of Webster sinflehandedly orchestrating moves and for some reason your big argument to him not making decisions is the ceo gets final say… and you have the audacity to end your argument with “come on man?” How old are you? I only ask that because I work for a corporation and in the hierarchy the big dog often has no idea what’s going on or what decisions are made until they run it past him and the whole point of hiring people underneath you is to entrust them with those decisions. So the more realistic relationship is that bobby does something asks Masai is this good and Masai goes well do you think it makes sense and Bobby goes yes this is why and Masai goes okay I trust you let’s do it.

Should point out the "corporation" he's speaking about is McDonald's, the "big dog" is Ronald, and what Ronald had no idea about is the decision Boogie makes to house 2 Double Big Mac's in the walk in freezer per shift

Ya that could be game. He tapped it clean too. These injuries may serve a purpose. We DIE or we get stronger. Should be clear now for FO, Jkobe Dick and Ochai should be trade fodder. They don't want it enough. Perhaps this will light a fire under their arse.

Darko coached well, man. Not sure what some of yous nitpick almost every game. Plus he motivates the guys and they play hard for him.

Why are you on Reddit for basketball discussion? It’s absolutely awful. I’m embarrassed by the Raptors subreddit whenever I land there.

I don’t understand how people read Reddit. The comments aren’t even in chronological order. I get Reddit if you want to find something specific, or focus on the most commented or liked posts only, but if you’re on a forum and want to to read every comment, that’s not it

The thing is, Martin doesn’t suck. He was a huge reason we won that game and almost beat the Celtics the other night.

But you’re also preaching to the wrong guy. I’m a similar personality in sports. Very competitive. And if you try to show me up like Maxey did after the three near the end of regulation I’m definitely talking spicy to him the rest of the game. Guaranteed.
