Just preseason but they just got beaten back to back by the team they owe all their picks to.

Might be the two most boring teams in the league to be honest. The poor chinese got scammed.

Wizards have a free fastbreak dunk and the coach calls timeout instead...

Tre Johnson out there for a light cardio so far, looks scared, timid. Missed an easy shot at the rim, uncontested. Keeps deferring to others, and man does the Wizards offense look terrible here. No shooting, George and Carrington almost broke the backboard their threes were so bad. Raptors aint much better, but the Wizards 2nd unit was awful.

Lots of passes, dribbles out of bounds, moving screens, offensive fouls.. just a clown fiesta, not watching this trash.

found a 'stream' and it works better than my prime and nba app feeds. WTF is going on with NBA media teams? I had an issue with the Fanduel app last magic game that I fixed by finding a 'stream'. What's the point of paying for these services?

Man, if I'm the Raptors, im getting concerned about Barnes. Outside shot still looks busted. Doesn't seem to have any real moves to get to where he wants, and all around looks wholly unimpressive. I mean he's picking up stats, 8/9/2/2 in 16 minutes, but does not look like a max type of player.

Looks like more of a utility type of player, than a 1a, or 2b type. I know its preseason, but its noticeable.

Raptors have no decent or natural scorers without Ingram. All of those 3 in Quick, Barrett & Barnes just look awkward trying to score and force up some garbage. There is no flow or well executed plays being ran either..

It's preseason so I try not to put too much weight into it but he, RJ, and Quickly are not looking great relative to their contracts. But again, it's preseason.

Once the season starts hes gonna be facing mostly players who play to win... not these players who are on neutral mode waiting for the season to start.

Can someone explain to me why every Warrior 1-15 is allowed to put both hands on the offensive player on every drive? Did they pull a midget team license that gives them a pass with officials?

People don’t understand the upgrades the Clippers made. Brook Lopez is another starter off the bench.

One sided whistle like usual with these teams. Nuggets flop nonstop for calls… clippers get shoved in the paint no calls.
