PG: Raptors clip the Nets

[Madhouse]

If last night and tonight proved anything, Malachi Flynn is our backup point guard. Simple as that. He's better defensively, smarter, and a better shooter.

He should be the first guard off the bench moving forward

Oh and I'm sticking with my prediction of four straight wins after those two blowouts. Halfway there

Lol way to go out on a limb with your prediction. I’d be so disappointed if we didn’t win 4 in a row given the competition we are facing in this stretch. Especially after two pathetic blowouts.

Ye Casey is gonna squash us again, im ready to put a massive 3k bet on that game. I’ve made so much from all my bets when it comes to Pistons, this one won’t be different

It's an L unless Barnes significantly outplays Cade.

Pistons are actually decent right now

you love to see it

Nurse almost gave that away but Scottie and the boys pulled it off. Keep banton in the 905.

I’m still baffled at that 3rd quarter lineup. Could have easily lost us the game.

Imo should've been Svi or Yuta to counter zone. Banton stifled the offense!

Any one of Trent/Scottie/Siakam would have sufficed. We don’t need to roll out lineups with four bench players.

Soon as The Pecking Order is lifted, the Raptors and Scottish Barnes will be a problem.

You really pushing this Scottish nickname eh

[TheBoi10]

Khem Birch and Dalano Banton minutes give me anxiety

why is birch even starting? just let thad start for OG.

it should not be this hard.

True, Nick gets to preserve his little Precious-Boucher tandem too

Flynn is clearly more talented than Banton.

There is no reason he shouldn't play 10-15 minutes per game.

they are both talented. they both play scared a lot though. as soon as they play with confidence they both make big impacts. whoever of the two isn't playing scared should play. these days that's flynn.

Guys should be given more opportunity to play through mistakes period. Hard to play with confidence when you get yanked for every mistake.

on a given night yes, but everybody gets their chances. not one of the young or end of bench guys can say he hasn't had a shot this season to show what he can do. some of them have shown a lot of potential but they tend to be inconsistent so they come and go in nurse's rotation. it's a lot about development and i think it's working.

Yep. Cade, Saddiq Bey, and Jeremi Grant can all score 20+ easily. Then u have raptor killers Kelly Olynk, and of course Casey himself. It’s such an L lol

The movement is real

[OakleyDokely]

Scottie cocked the joint back and blocked on 'em

Casey zone master. About to go zone on us from tip off. He's gonna be like **** the jump ball just get in the zone.

Scottie is a basketball Savant

[SurgeIblocka]

Refs were definitely on our side tonight. I’m sure some big players had big bets on Raps and under on point differential. No way you get so many calls for 3 seconds in paint unless refs wanted to determine outcome.

Mr. Pound the Rock is coming for the three-peat.

Four bench player lineups are the best. The bench mob season was one of my favorites.

He palmed the ball while looking at the shot clock, then clutch it!

That was an ugly win, but I'll take it. Defence locked in for the final 12 minutes and we hit some big shots late. Thad hit some huge threes, Flynn hit some clutch shots and GTJ sealed the win with some CLUTCH free throw shooting...but I still can't believe that garbage 6th foul on Siakam lol.

This win mostly comes down to Scottie though. The off-balance jumper with the shot clock winding to give us a lead with 4 minutes left was unbelievable...and then he followed that up with a couple big boards, a beautiful pass to Thad for a dunk and a massive block on Curry late in the game. That all-star break was the best thing for Scottie. He's playing some of his best ball of the season (20/9/2 on 70% shooting in the last 4 games) and making a serious push back to the top of the ROTY ladder.

I guess you forgot how much Detroit has killed us over the past few years, and Cleveland isn't a guarantee W either.
