PG: Raptors win in OT

[ArthurVandelay]

I hate to be that guy, but don't read into CMB's statline too hard because he and Barnes were going up against one of the weakest frontcourts with who the Sixers had available tonight. Scottie did exactly what he was supposed to do, but it was good to see CMB rise to the occasion even though this will probably be one of his easiest matchups all year. If Paul George and Embiid play these performances don't happen.

Boooooo this man!

Boooooo!

(Jk - but the kid still did it)

[Tha Cynic]

Masai thank you for CMB - I was wrong
Masai thank you for taking Scottie when everyone wanted Suggs
Masai thanking you for the Shead trade - I'm not his biggest fan but he's legit
Masai thanking you for hiring Darko after firing Nurse, we needed a culture reset & Darko has implemented that to the tee
Masai thank you for the OG trade, I'd much rather the 2 for 1 of IQ n RJ
Masai thanks for the BI trade,

Masai, THANK YOU

Get it right - if it is working out, it was a Bobby move; if it’s failing, it was a Masai move

[YogurtProducer]

IQ had the second best +/- (+13)

20 points (6/22 though)
7 assists
5 rebounds
4 steals


Still a pretty bad game for him. His confidence is at an all-time low.
Need him to be better.

Yeah he looks terrified to shoot at times

Darko should tell him I don’t care if you go 0/12. You need to shoot every god damn open 3 you get. Gotta bet on him going back to being a high % high volume 3 point guy

[DreamTeam09]

Why are people still acting like bobby Webster isn’t the gm?

Bobby became the big boy this year, he can get a s/o for Mamu

Bobby has been a gm since at least the kawhi tried and was the one who orchestrated it through his connections. What are you talking about man.

Again, the head of basketball Ops gets praise, that's nothing new. This is the 1st ye Bobby is the head of Wheel, there's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with giving praise to Masai either. If y'all are trying to imply his fingerprints aren't all on this team, that's a debate y'all can have with yaselves...

Isn't that obvious? Do you think CMB would be starting if Yak were healthy in the first place?

Both teams had major injuries. You play whoever is in front of you.

If we had RJ BI and Poetl this would be a totally different game too

so?

On the flip side, if Poeltl RJ and Ingram play it’s a whole different game as well

[Raps in 4]

One of the best games of Scottie’s career. Martin and Shead were great. CMB is close to becoming my next favorite Raptor - been waiting since we traded OG. Hope he finds a 3 this summer.

Finally, **** Natalie Sago.

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

On 1.3 attempts per game lol.

Philly's Top 10 in rebounding this year and still had 5 guys in their lineup with 7'2" wingspans, even with Embiid out. Those were well earned rebounds

For our offense, he needs to be taking 10 threes a game

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Scottish Barnes was beastly

[SFour]

I always wondered who could replace Shead's backup PG spot if he were moved to the starting spot but now it's clear that Martin is that guy....too bad AD is injury prone, that trade is over with.

[NinjaBro]

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.

so?

The point is when he doesn't look as good consistently going up against more polished bigs moving forward, don't be surprised. He played a hell of a game though, so kudos.

CMB is also 20 years old going up against grown men (like Drummond).

Not just holding your own, but dominating is pretty damn impressive.

[Brinbe]

not a legit C though!!!

ready to fully concede that he's the 1% outlier that can manage the job at his size. very glad to be wrong here

Upside of this team is legitimately raised in the long term by quite a bit if he can be

he was pretty ahistorical doing it at SC too so I think we just have that unique of a prospect here, which is pretty entertaining to fathom. especially being paired with a barnes in the frontcourt.

you get a great guard with them and that is a contender, especially with rj/bi as your primary scorers.

they really need quick to break out of this funk or get shipped out

Part on Darko part on IQ.

We’ve seen tonight and last game IQ on those OOB plays is a really good off balance shooter. They need to use that more often
