  1. Darko should give Dick, Freeman, McDaniels and Precious more touch over Malachi. Malachi is pretty much not doing anything on defense or offense. Need better players that provide deflections and defense in droughts. Barnes had a great game and just needs better players to unlock his abilities to higher heights since he is coming in his prime.

  2. the knicks hit 16 3-pt shots at close to 50% of their attempts. not many teams can match that so let's be reasonable here… any other night and the raps would have been in it… good effort for the most part. the knicks just deserved to win this one — luck was on their side. barnes had a killer game so not is all lost! 4 days off and back to work. let's gooooooo!

  3. I'm glad Darko was honest and said we needed to decide what kind of team do we wan't to be going forward. We saw plenty of glimpses of how this selfless 0.5 offence needs to be and how were capable of beating some of the top teams in the league. Now it's time for the Owners, Front Office, Coaches, Players to come together and discuss the team strategy going forward. And if that means making difficult, but necessary decisions in the trade window, so be it. The fans wan't clear direction and consistency. I don't mind even being below .500 this season so long as we know we are 100% committed to playing the right way and are building something for the future.

  4. If they are under 500 halfway through the season ill call for change but i will be a good fan and give them atleast half a season to figure it out … we have exteremists amongst us

  5. scottie has no help, this roster construction is criminal by masai and bobby and they need to be fired. ive had it with the waiting and evaluating w fukin masai. get masai and bobby out IM DONE! such depressing basketball every other night

  6. Someone tell Darko that OG with 4 bench guys ISNT VERY SMART !!! Even this luv of Scottie plus 4 bench guys doesn't work. How many more games is it gonna take this coaching staff to realize this ….smh

  7. IMO, the rotations put out on the court sometimes with this team is done for a reason…the reason is that it gives guys who want bigger roles and contracts a reality check

  8. just want to raise the point that Scottie here is playing a MVP-esque game, his team still getting blown out by a solid team to be fair, and showing the highest level of professionalism, and on top of this, is wearing a (I think) Christine Sinclair jersey to support Canadian sports in general for a player he likely does not know very well, but is doing it to support the team and the fans, and has not show even a single shred of frustration here, and for a 22 year old man to show this level of professionalism and maturity in this stage of his career, while also showing unyielding support for Canadian sports is beyond a blessing for Toronto, the Raptors, and Canada as a whole………… I'm just awe struck in how amazing this kid is and no way can the Raptors ever lose this man, praising you Scottie, the whole of Canada ought to be praising this kid, this is just pure Canadian fan service and it is not necessary at all and he is willing to do it, consummate professional

  9. also shout out to purtle and boucher who are not consistent, but are also professional and never throw anyone under the bus, this is such a good positive change from last year, good on the whole team for keeping it professional at all times and respecting the other players and coaches on their team

  10. Darko subs are trash. I am tired of watching Scottie + Bench. I need O.G. to be more aggressive. Flynn, Precious, McDaniels my god I do not want them to play games anymore.

    I believe Precious should be put at the wing. Center is just too much thinking for him. Calling himself an elite defender
