Nurse found his groove, managed this game really well tonight.

Barnes just keeps impressing. he's got all-star poise , and just gets what he wants whenever he wants. impressive.

Fred has been amazing these last few games. Coming up with clutch shots and managing the team well.

Svi had a nice boost. Sneaky hops.

Happy for Birch .. his positioning has been great all year and he finally got more minutes to reward him. Precious will be up and down this year.. still learning.

Nicky been saying once Khem is fully healthy, he will eventually be splitting the minutes with Previous.


I'd say it should be at least 60-40 Barnes, or more


Barnes will get wrecked at the 5 spot.

Relax.

I mean opposing teams have to game plan for OG and FVV too. Opposing teams don’t have the luxury of a good third defender to send at Barnes with OG/ FVV. watch out when Siakam comes back. They will have a hard time to guard all 4 guys. Barnes is getting great looks and he has a very good second bounce on his own misses. Dude is right back at the rim. He BBIQ is of the charts.

Levert is a really good player.

Carlisle seems a little disengaged to me, passive. Both games he took his challenge quite early. I guess he's not the fiery personality type, but still.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

The really bad news is Kevin Pritchard is still their GM.

Raptors fanbase...it will be time to unite to vote Scottie in as a starter! If Alex Caruso can come in 4th place in voting...we can get Scottie to start.

Seems like i'm seeing Fred and Gary onteract on the bench during timeouts in a new way. Like they are starting to find their chemistry.

Fred has been incredible. Allstar incoming. He is the mvp of this team and the only way there is a tank this year is if fred gets a long-term injury.

He is the epitome of winning basketball even though he looked exhausted tonight.

This was a culture win. Totally gutted it out. Huge win.

That guy was quite the treat when he was in Portland. No surprise what happened here with Indy.

Indiana's really not a bad team when they are complete. Brogdon, Levert, Turner, and Sabonis are nice top 4.

Oh yes. If this is 60-40 Khem, hell yeah.

Previous is still raw and learning on the fly. Off the bench, his energy and enthusiasm will be fun!
