PG: Raptors gut out a resilient win 

Post#1 » by LoveMyRaps » Thu Jan 22, 2026 5:32 am

Three stars of the game:

1) Mamu
2) Scottie
3) Ingram

HM: Quickley

Bench needs to be a lot better moving forward.

Nice two back-to-back wins on the road.

Got a bit too close at the end but luckily, Kings are not that good of a team.

Ugly first half, far better in the second. Bunch of impressive performances for us. Mamu was huge. Quick looked very good, and more spritely. Scottie had an excellent game. BI too.

And amid a rough overall performance, Gradey was 4/6 inside the arc and had some nice action in transition.

Big win....at least got 2 wins on the trip in the bank. Getting the win vs Blazers would be huge since we know OKC is a loss.

Raptors gave them a scare in the first half against the zone but kings gutted out the loss for their tank

Cardwell playing charades with the crowd when his team's about to lose. Classic random Kings scrub

Grind out W.

Road trip is a success if we can beat Portland.

Our lack of size made him look real good tonight.

Barnes seems to quietly be the best player on the court in a lot of games this season for both sides. Kind of amazing how good he has been.

Mogbo looked pretty decent today. Great defense.

Nice to see IQ using some tricks to draw fouls and going downhill more.

Ingram keeps sniping

Sandro keeps being great while always looking like a dork

Defense drives our offense

The raps have 8 good players.

If we could ever get healthy, we wouldn't have to see any of the bumfighter wing dudes anymore.

Shout outs to Mogbo and Dick

Frustrating moments but Darko really had no choice. They delivered

Looks like the best option at this point unless it's against a backcourt with real size that know how to use it. Then small guards lineup will be cooked.
