Boucher and Scottie BFF. At least Boucher knows how to play with a guy like Scottie around.
‘Winning’ – Masai
Nice pass
All of our line-ups feel diluted in an attempt to hide weaker players but keep giving them playing time.
There’s no unit that I would feel comfortable against other line ups in the league.
I fucking love the juxtaposition of Jack calling out the lack of effort/engagement followed by Precious shitting the bed on a defensive board to a guy who just wanted it more. Turned the game off after that play. Better things to do tonight than engage in this product.
Poor Jack tryna bring the Holiday cheer. We got crushed in the 1st Quarter
legitimately if we lose this game it is the most embarrassing loss any team has had all season lol
Jack is still living in 2019-21. The Raptors way is now losing
Shut the fuck up with your jingle bells ass were dog shit you know it man.
Jack it’s only 8pm, how much you drink
Letting JT Thor getting that OREB and get an and-1? Bruh.
This is hard to watch. Hornets G-league putting it on the Raps rn.
We haven’t won a first quarter in December?
That’s a coaching problem.
God damn this team is frustrating. OG, Siakam, Barnes are all good players. We should be better than this.
Darko seems like a great guy. That’s as far as my praise for him goes. At some point those questions have to start questioning, especially because we passed on Jordi.
Holy fuck it is time to finally make the changes, the fans know it, the players know it, everyone knows it.
I feel they’re well aware of this too and are now just going out there and doing fuck all.
Scottie just has “it”. Feel the most comfortable when he has the ball because he will either score it or make a winning play
Lol good news Kate!
THAT REBOUND OMG
4/4 free throws problem solved
WTF THEY JUST LET THE HORNETS GET THE REBOUND????
What is this rebounding effort lol
Holy fuck, these 2 couldnt get that rebound huh
This might be the fastest I’ve seen a fan base turn on a coach but man Darko has been awful.
I mean, we will probably win this game. But even going down by 10 to the Hornets is a fucking disgrace.
This FO has set Darko up for failure (just like they did Nick). But if Darko cant get his guys motivated and organized to beat this Hornets team without 5 of their top 8 players he has no business being a head coach in the NBA
Lets just watch the ball bounce into the other teams hands lol
Let Gary cook
4 people inside the arc and no one gets a finger on the ball
