Raptors Summer League | Post Game vs. Cleveland Cavaliers | July 9, 2023
Players and Coach speak to the media following the Raptors’ 99-76 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday in the 2023 NBA Summer League. #Raptors #torontoraptors
Keep moving forward and play hard on both ends.. I hate the basketball court is in a hotel room once again… The arc of shots are impacted, you can see the flat shooting and hitting the front of the rim.. Even Gradey arc is lower now than his college game…
This team just can't seem to make their shots, open or otherwise. If I was an opponent, I would focus on guarding the paint and dare our 3pt shooters and take your chances. Consequently, our players also seemed to force shots inside by dribbling into a crowd and failing to complete a pass out to an open teammate. It also seemed like we were bumping into each other, so our players need communicate and learn their schemes better. Finally, the Raptors were thoroughly out-hustled. I mean it seemed like the ball found a Cav player in almost all of the loose ball scrambles. That was not the ball movement style of playing that I was hoping to see, especially towards the end of the game, where we were ice cold from 3 and started to chuck up bricks. Very disappointing play so far this summer. It seems like every other team found some hot 3pt shooters but us. I really was hoping to see more and better from a bunch of guys fighting for a career in the NBA.
He’s not been given an inch to get his shot off and he’s making the right play. Like all good players he’s much more impactful playing with quality than scrub’s. This tells me he plays team first and stats a distant second. When he gets a little more elbow room he’ll be a helluva shooter and a very good playmaker.

Why did we draft a white guy😣
Dunno if Markquis will make it, if Scottie becomes the starting PG then we become too deep at the point

I like this coach
can't wait to see what you can do with an actual team playing with you
93 til , change what! Right now we just chillen
I like what I see from Grady, but i'm also very impressed with Nowell!

Besides Gradey & Nowell, this team simply lacks talent vs the teams they played
give him some time !! love the boy
I'm just concerned with Dick getting his shots off with more athletic defenders… Meanwhile Keyonte had one heck of a game..
Hopefully this isn't Flynn/Bane part 2
The rockets will have a better record than the raptors next season.
Mike grange dumb af… always asking the most asinine questions…
His vibe is flat. I hope he finds joy in the game with a new teammates and can find chemistry.
You can tell if Nowell was playing with better players his number would look a whole lot different
