Happy birthday Ben 🎉
HAPPPPPPPPY BIIIIIIRTHDAYYYY TOOOOOOOOOOO YOOUUUUUUUUU
Your optimism and happy attitude is the #1 reason I watch you man. Almost there to 30K subs !!!
Happy birthday Ben!
Keep up the great work Ben!! Have a great birthday!!!
Gary Trent look like he was hanging out with Snoop Dogg lol 😂
When Trent isn’t hitting his shots, he offers nothing else. Plain and simple. He isn’t a slasher and finisher like Norman Powell.
I like Gary but He has to be traded to mayb bring in a guy like Buddy Heild.. We Need Shooters that can be consistent now. Grady dick Needs to be sent to The Gleage to get Reps.. We Can use Trent .. Jalen, Otto,boucher to help sure up a more consistent Bench in Trades. Precious should be move also. If we Can't get back assets to help now . Atleast get back some 2nd round picks and use up the roster spot we will get from trades to give other Free agents out there a shot..who can shoot/score consistently. This should be Masai plan
Gary hardly misses his free throws. I knew something was up when I saw that happening.
Bro you are the best !!!!!!! Quality always and lots of fun
I remember when Bosh was plagued by that same injury… definitely not easy to play with.
He sucks that’s why
Gary shows tenacity on defence (more tenacity than technique but effort points I guess) but overall as a player, his issue is that he needs to contribute as a scorer to impact the game. When he struggles, the team often struggles, and we can’t keep him in the game.
Happy Birthday Ben 🍾
Good job with the channel – you give the straight goods. I find the Pensare guy has some strongly held bizzare takes based on these obscure advanced analytics. I am a big fan and listen to a lot of channels but you get it right most of the time.
Excuses excuses… he’s a pro baller… sorry… if my fridge is broken- I buy a new one… he’s playing like a broken man so….
Malachi had one good game and now he’s a hero? Bro… stop
Gary does ts all the time after a bad game, claim knee soreness, he's sick or in this case, plantar w.e tf it's called. Just like what precious is doing now…or OG … fraudulent activities. Dudes don't believe in themselves to perform, so they're taking sick days off. Come contract time, they'll say it effected their shitty performance. some sly finesse tricks. I'm privy to it and not fooled AT ALL. Just makes you pray on their downfall even more.
😊
"Lord, pls remove all the hoe azz Raptors on the roster, send us a dog and franchise savior. Shit is looking bleak right now Lord, sry for cursing. Let the sixers flame out again as always, and open a playoff spot for my Raptors. Let the series go 7 games and may the best team win. If it's not too much, remove anubooty from the team, Lord knows I had enough of him. Don't let us be the sucker to overpay. Let the world see him for the fringe starter I know him to be…somewhere else. May he get roasted religiously for all the years he escaped criticism. And may his fingers turn green when he wears a ring designated for actual champions."
Amen 🙏
Sub and like to get this channel 30k aSaP
I have suffered from planter fasciitis myself and the pain is nasty bad. Every time you put pressure on the affected foot the pain is unbearable. It is hard to treat and it can months or more to go away. It is an inflamed tendon on the bottom of the foot usually aggravated by sports.
Truthfully this is an appologist way to look at it. Look at those PER game stat's. Since his ROOKIE season, Gary has shot the ball horririfc. FG% wise, last year 43%, before that 41%, before that 39.5% from within the 3 point line. And for a career 3 point shooter, he's averaging around 38.4% which is the 67th best player in the league. Just to give you context, OG and Scottie Barnes are 72 and 71. He's not elite, and he doesn't deserve that type of money he's looking for.
Happy Birthday Ben!! Thank you for all your hard work and excellent content for the Raptors! You will reach 30k very soon!
Happy ben
Your a hero Ben. I’m following the Raptors from Denmark and you are one of the cornerstones in my intel on the Raps. It’s You, Will Lou and stuff like Raptors today, that give that extra depth into what’s going on with the team. Keep doing the great work 🎉
So this is how plantar fasciabala is pronounced lol, always wondered
Honestly I like your content plus you don't get on my nerves like some of the other Raptor youtubers 😂😂…
Dennis Schroder has no business being in the starting line up man… Sure. He's a nice guy, and he's shooting better than he ever has in his career, but we know that Gary plays signifcantly better when he has consistent minutes, with the starting unit that he. was significanlty more chemistry with than Schroder.
It would give Scottie the reigns of running the point, and would bring Gary in to space the floor better than Schroder can. Gary's a way better shooter than Schroder, and the fact that he's getting inconsistent minutes, with an average of 7 less shots per game this season than he has over the past few seasons… it's definitely setting him up to fail.
Darko is a good coach, but his rotations are so out of whack. And I firmly believe he's giving Schroder way too much leeway.
I had wicked plantars with heal spurs at 36 yrs old. One word: Birkenstocks. Saved my life no lie. Plantars is super painful and I tried everything. I had to stop playing sports and it got to the point where I actually had to take time off work. Finally someone recommended Birkenstocks so dug up my old gawd-awful looking clogs I used to think were cool for some reason… and it was night and day. After that I bought Birk insoles and was able to wear shoes again. 10 years later and I have no issues. I wear my EVA Birk sandals at home and any shoes I like outside of that. Still wear the insoles in shoes like Vans and other flat footwear. Anyways, weird rant here but give it a try if you've been dealing with this. Better to look goofy for a bit then be in pain forever.
Overtraining over the summer, Gary? I know it's a contract year but the body can only take so much
I’m ngl when I hear the raptors analysts a couple games ago. “ OG has such amazing defence, but he’s not known for his offensive skills, so whatever the raptors got out of that department is a bonus”. Idk why we’re still treating OG like that he’s shown that he can average high double digit points and I think we should let him cook more often like past years instead of only spotting up
I didnt know he was dealing with this, id say its more than just annoying. I had it and its painful as hell
He's not struggling.. he's sulking because he doesn't want to come off the bench.. he's not hustling and he's not working hard – plain and simple
You hitting 30k tonight or tomorrow!!!
Now Ben, I'm pretty sure you said the "Free Flowing System" suited Trent in an earlier video 🤔
GARY TRENT JR ❤️
is our favorite player and whatever he's dealing with either
Plantar fasciitis (painful like hell) or
other issues we'll pray
for him and support him
Ben, you Marcel and Nick Gosse are holding it down for Digest Media keep up the good work!
