He's really surprised me this year. Wasn't expecting much from last year.
Scottie three is the only thing keeping me watching this team ngl!
Send Siakiam to Atlanta. Get it done Masai. Wonder if Raptors can get Trae Young.
you guys think he'll get most improved player this year?
😅
Listen, Scottie got all star numbers, but he’s not gonna be an all star if the raptors stay the same right now, we need some new pieces.
For F sakes. We need to be losing all these games. The more we win the more hope it gives Masai.
OG + Otto Porter Jr. + Thad Young for Mathurin and Nemhard. Give Pascal the Max. Work long term on the bench.
Its great that siakam and OG did well tonight this makes their value go up a bit when we trade them. And yea they need to get traded asap so scottie can be the clear leader of this team. Hope raps get a decent haul trading those 2
Literally the only reason I want this team to win is so that Scottie has a chance at the all star team. If not I’d be content with losing to get a top pick
Don't need to worry about the lost draft pick Masai said himself we can get a pick back with a trade.
Scottie's numbers should be better but Darko the idiot keeps using Scottie + bench lineups which brings down his overall numbers. Darko is a fool
He is not him…yet
Scottie sees plays developing 3 or 4 passes ahead. Schröder can't even pick out a mismatch while it's happening. What are we doing here?
Love u Ben. Young guy seeing the future in podcasts and putting in work. It is the future. Good for u.
Scottie should be an all star based on stats. But he won't get it cuz our record sucks. Stop trying to make people think this is a possibility. If we get to 500 he may have a chance. But that won't happen unfortunately for Scottie
Why didn’t gradey play man 😂😂
When you bet on Scottie, you know the guy's been an all-star, he only had one small stretch where he struggled, but the dude has been amazing.
Really enjoying your analysis lately. Being critical, pointing out misplays and players' shortcomings is an important part of being an objective analyst. I find that our major Raps media make sweeping generalizations when making any criticisms. They also don't seem to take their audience seriously and instead of analyzing plays and breaking down what is or isn't happening on a deeper level, they just talk about "hussle", "energy", "teamwork" or the lackthereof. There is a massive part of the basketball audience that wants more in-depth analysis and no-bs criticism of both offensive and defensive schemes, matchups, and higher level IQ stats. Seeing more and more of that from you is awesome👍
Scottie allstar talent but id be shocked if he makes it this year. Its too early we dont have the team success n the league aint tryna crown no raptor unless the player is obviously better then his peers
Scottie ALL-STAR
Gary STAR BOY.
Mixtape that up?
Ben ALL-BOY
Lol I clown I kid. Love to see the homer back in homeboy here. Positive vibes are back!
But haven't we learned that we Team rollercoaster yet? Downhill treadmill is always there for this team.
Fun win but I'm not convinced until after I see W vs Nuggets and 76ers. Scoring 130s is nice. Holding teams to under 100 would be better. It means intensity and commitment to Defense is back… and that Darko has had a breakthrough with lineup changes lol
Anyways I'm back in the Scottie ALLSTAR voting bandwagon again. Go BE4STMODE!!
Scottie Barnes is going to be better than Kawhi
Yea they can both score a lot especially when the Hawks play no defense 😂 it is what it is man enjoy the win
Better shooting night! 🎉 Problems Not fixed but We got one against a team that has mediocre interior defense… to be expected. On to the next…
You should take breaks sometimes, your contents are getting more boring by day. Take a day or two off during the week, this way you have more interesting subject to talk about
The fact is that Scottie isn’t getting all the attention from defenders because Pascal is there.
Replace Dennis with Scottie full time, and get some bench pieces.. Team takes off.. Dennis and these bench bums gotta go
Real question is og happy now I feel its the same as last year…
This draft class is weak anyway
Nah…Scottie should be a Superstar ,if this management was right, still stuck in 2019. Give this guy some talent around him who can shoot and move your Alpha guy out…Siakim.
Scottie's hang time on the reverse lay-up was awesome and Pascal's wing span whoa… go Raptors!
not when hes -25 on plus minus. Sure he's getting stats, but when we give up 35 points in 1st quarter to charlotte, then 39 points in 1st to atlanta you have to question what type of ball the raptors are playing. Scottie is still too reliant on bully ball and his moves are athletically mechanical vs cerebral (similar to OG). Another team the raps should look at is houston. On the table we could offer a mix of pascal, poetl, boucher, precious, dick the players we would target are senguin, eason, brooks (for salary), Jabari smith, amen (since he's underperformed to date), cam whitmore, oladipo (for salary purposes). Houston is in win now mode while we get some good young talent back. Of all the players listed there is a package to be made.
