Raptors vs Cavaliers Game 33 (QUICKLEY AND BARRETT’S DEBUT!!!) (January 1st, 2024)

The first win of 2024 for the Toronto Raptors and it was a scary finish but 124 121 winners over the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight at scoa Bank Arena first win for Emanuel quickley and RJ Barrett in the Raptor’s uniform great stuff now you guys might notice I don’t

Know they kind of got blotches on my face and stuff like that yeah uh New Year’s Eve last night obviously was there with some friends came home wanted a little something to eat uh had a snack that was like homemade from family didn’t realize there was

Nuts in it I got an allergy so here we are and I blew up like a balloon and had to go to the hospital and all that stuff so it was a crazy New Year’s Eve to say the least but that’s why that’s why I

Look like that right now so I just want to put that out there before I see in the comments like what up your face okay well there you go and also uh check out the Tik Tok page down below guys I would have loved to watch a game like this on

A live with you guys so get that to a th000 followers on Tik Tok at least and we can start rolling with that Tik Tok links down below or up to sports. on Tik to if not totally fine let’s break down this game because there is a lot to get

To now before going into the game we hear RJ Barrett and Emanual quickly will start and I’m thinking good like just get them in there like that’s not sugarcoat the damn thing get them in the game right and then you hear no Darius Garland and no Evan Moy and I’m thinking okay well

There’ll be excuses but I don’t care I could care less and the first quarter which has been a Bugaboo of the Toronto Raptors this season they dominate they knocked down 41 they dropped 41 points they knocked down seven threes in the first quarter seven of 10 from three in the first quarter

Everyone’s flying around Quickly’s made two threes Pascal’s making threes we’re all feeling good and you’re up nine after the first quarter but then things start to dry up right then the Raptors start missing shots and the second quarter right the threes dry up and they start they can’t make them

Now they go one of nine from three in the second quarter and they win it only by one 26 27 26 but man that one point you were up by 18 you were is it 18 biggest leate of the night 19 so you were buzzing you’re flying like crazy

But they answer right back with a big run a 17 to7 run to end the second quarter and you go into the break you up by eight when you had an 19point advantage kind of lives that bitter taste in your mouth be okay okay third quarter we need a push the Raptors came

Out in the start of the third quarter and gave you a push got it back up to like 15 or so but they closed the third quarter strong you lose the quarter 3231 and I got I got to say this though Emanuel quickley had four fouls in the

First half so they had to really limit his minutes in the latter half of the second quarter and majority of the third quarter so that could have been a massive factor in that but you lose those quarters only by one but you’re going into the fourth only up

Seven and you know the threats from three that the Cavs have and in that fourth quarter guys like Donovan Mitchell who you know you’re going to get offense from I believe he only had 26 today shot eight of 21 um Caris lever was in insane like there were moments tonight where I’m

Like can is this dude just not going to miss from three like what did he knock down today two of seven excuse me one of them was like a step back three with with no ball movement on the on the court and I’m like what the hell is this

And then you had obviously your boy Sam Merill knocking down four threes and one from like half court it’s just frustrating and the Raptors struggling to make shots early in the fourth quarter and they storm back in a one point the Cavs take a lead and they’re

Up by three a big moment in this game however an outlet pass can’t remember who fired the pass up to Scotty Barnes and he catches the ball and goes up to lay up but Donan Mitchell grabs his other arm and Scotty wanted the N1 right and they initially called it a

Take foul which would have given you I believe one free throw on the ball but what happened then they go to review and they call it a they call it a clear path foul which is two free throws and the ball Scotty makes both free throws then the rors get the

Inbound and was it was it yakob no who was it the guy the N1 to go RJ I can’t remember who it was but bottom line they get a layup and the foul might have been Pascal actually and you get a fivepoint swing you’re down three and then you go

Up two a massive scene there now there sure there were events afterwards that led to some crazy stuff that’s a big moment it’s a fivepoint swing right if Mitchell leaves him it’s only a two-point game like you know it’s a two and the Raptors are still down by

One it’s a massive part of the game and then the Raptors look it was a nutso finish Scotty missed a couple free throws RJ knocked down two free throws you were able to hold on to the Victory and some some really smart Darko play today like people have been ripping him

A lot but got to say that take foul late in the game was really good it was a smart they they did it right to get Mitchell to the free throw line then Jared Allen getting into the lane um oh yeah it it went perfectly like a lot of

Bad things for the for the Cavs there right and that caused the turnover because obviously Mitchell was going to try and miss the free throw intentionally and he did but Jared Allen jumped the lane they call it Raptor ball and that that basically sealed it right thank God the Raptors won this game

Though and they they lose the fourth quarter by four 30 to 26 so like they won they played a great first quarter offense flying I bet you still allowed 32 but the rest of the game the offense got stuck and it was a little little shaky but you won the basketball game on

The road when the other team felt like it was all night they were just making contested shot after contested shot after contested shot it was crazy it was nuts let’s get these team stats Cleveland still shot 48% from the field Raptor shot 48% from the field 37% from three for the Toronto Raptors

Considering they were seven of 10 to start and they went 11 for 30 so they went what what is that four of 20 the rest of the way not good not good but you won the game they shot 33 % from three but God it felt like more you’re

Always scared you’re always scared shitless when Max shu is taking shots and apparently Sam Merrill now as well nuts any crazy stats that jump out um 11 turnovers which isn’t bad Second Chance points you were plus six points in the paint minus four no nothing really crazy jumps out but let’s get

These player stats shall we Pascal cakam was insane the best player on the floor as much we want to talk about RJ and you want to talk about man quickly and I thought yakob purle played an outstanding game I thought Pascal seak was your best player today 365 and2 shot

13 of 20 five of six from the line five of eight from three when he has the three ball falling it changes everything it really does excuse me had a steal in the game and was a plus one RJ Barrett the moments who was frustrating right

Watching him drive into the lane or made a four on two at one point and somehow it ends in a turnover for RJ it’s kind of a shaky couple plays but hit some big free throws late 199 And1 on the on the game uh 6 of 12 from the field six of

Eight from the free throw line one of two from distance see the five turnovers but it’s his first game in his hometown like you you know it’s going to be shaky a minus seven while he was on the floor um yaka purle played 37 minutes now you’re going up against a traditional

Center in in um Jared Allen so you needed that uh and he was great 14 11 and four five of eight from the field four of seven from three I’ll be it he went four of four to start the game and all three misses were in the F in the

The fourth quarter which kind of sucks but uh three blocks for Yak four turnovers to shaky but plus three on the floor did his job nicely Manel quickly like I mentioned earlier was was dealing with foul trouble through the early parts of this game but 14 six and three

Five of 13 from the field two of three from the free throw line knocked down a couple threes again this is why I say he T they both him and AR well no he basically tailed off in the second half was that and again you can’t be as

Aggressive with all the fouls right so take it for what it is he was four of eight at the half right so he went one of what is that one of one of five the rest of the way and was two of two to start from three missed his last three

Threes so but again you see what he can do and that’s all I care about in game one right two steals in the game for menual quickly um didn’t didn’t turn the ball over once a plus seven on the floor can’t complain Scotty Barnes it’s crazy right with Pascal having a great night

And these two doing as doing uh basically playing their debut Scotty goes by the wayside a little bit and he goes 26 and five seven of 17 from the field five of seven from the line one of five from three had a steal on the Block

I’ll be both of those free free throw misses we’re down the stretch in the fourth quarter so you that kind of sucks but a steal and a block for Scotty minus five on the floor and had the biggest rebound of the game of Mitchell’s Miss

Three my God he got up there and got that thing huge rebound for Scotty and Off the Bench you got some scoring from Dennis shuder had 12 points three rebounds eight assists three of seven from the field uh five of seven from from the free throw line one of five

From three and a plus 12 while he was on the floor Gary Trent Jr got if he can get his shot to fall man it adds a different aspect to this team nine points six rebounds couple assists three of 10 from the field one of five from

Three two of2 from the line had a steal a minus one and then somehow bu played 11 minutes didn’t take a shot really didn’t do anything and th young played two minutes I think it was in the second quarter didn’t really understand that but you won the ball game who cares

Raptors are now 13 and 20 on the season and the Raptors are not going to tank ladies and and gentlemen if this trade told you anything they are not tanking so deal with it and you know what I’m all for it because I was listening to

The Raptor show with Will L Alex Wong Blake Murphy as I do all the time and Will was breaking down I think it was the bter pun I don’t know which one it was and he was breaking down why the Raptors should not tank because sure if

They come six last that’s fine that’s you keep your pick but then it runs into the lottery which you have a certain % chance of dropping to seventh or eighth or what the only chance you have an opportunity to basically stay in the top six is if

You come like fourth or third last and guess what if you come that if you put yourself in that spot sure you get your pick this year it goes to next year and if you’re in that sheller dweller spot next year it goes to the following year

So you have to have three years of putrid putrid basketball just to have just to not lose a first round pick so if you’re going to make this team competitive like they seem to be right now with this trade be competitive bite the bullet maybe Lo probably lose

The draft pick this year then have all your picks moving forward to deal with it makes total sense you want this team to win basketball games Raptor fans and that’s where I’m at I wanted this team to tank but I heard that stuff and I see

The trade and I’m like I can’t I can’t get on the tank bag wion so what that means is Raptors got to start winning a lot of games they’re 13 and 20 on the season one game at a time but the Raptors now hit the W Coast for a six

Game Road Trip starting in Memphis on Wednesday night and then they go to Sacramento Golden State uh la la so they’re basing the Lakers and Clippers obviously in the back toback Utah but then they come home to base Boston and Miami it’s a really tough stretch for

The Raptors but to start today with a victory it’s a good start now like I mentioned their next game is in Memphis against the Grizzlies the 10 and 22 Memphis are they playing tonight actually Memphis no they’re not so the 10 and 22 Memphis Grizzlies but do not

Take that team lightly they now have John Morant back I don’t care that the record is bad you got to go out there and try and get a victory you do that you start the road trip with a dub Positive Vibes all right so you know
