    🚨 We held a team to under 100 points!!!!!!! 🚨

  2. InstanceMoney

    That first half was just great basketball. The movement was beautiful.

  3. unclekarl_

    Darko 100% was telling Kyle to come home and be an assistant coach for us

  4. pocemon11

    In the midst of “It’s so fucking over,” I found there was, within me, an invincible, “We’re so fucking back!!”

  5. That first half was some incredible basketball. The young BBQ core is looking good. Also wtf GTJ 8/9 from 3?!?!?! Man couldn’t miss tonight

  6. ZoroChopper10

    34 assists

    Scottie was fantastic in 4th

    Team will look a lot better with Poeltl

    I think we can easily make play in

  7. Legitimate-Software7

    Raptors are 1-0 in the mild BBQ era

    This team can be so good when Scottie is awake and Gary isn’t trolling

  8. Raptorsthrowaway1

    Great game from Gary. This fanbase (myself included) gives him a hard time when his shot isn’t falling. Gotta give his due when it does

  9. spectacular_seamonke

    First half: Are we the greatest team of all time?

    3rd Quarter: Save us Pascal!!!

    Start of the 4th Quarter: Are we worse than the Detroit Pistons?

    End of the 4th Quarter: We don’t need Steph Curry coming off the bench cause we got MFING GARY TRENT JR.

  10. There was a lot of good in this game, but the best for me were the flashes of a real NBA player we saw from Dick.

  11. I’m not crying you’re crying! 😭

    Scottie interview got me in my feelings

  12. motherseffinjones

    This the GTJ I believed in, it’s great to see him back.

  13. spectacular_seamonke

    Watching Gary have an amazing shooting night makes me so happy. I miss those, hope he can keep it up :’)

  14. DooWoptimusPrime

    Scottie at the 4 with shooters is the vision, I dig it.

    Trent isn’t gonna hit 8 triples every night. Buddy might not hit one at times. But if you got 3-4 other guys who can with Scottie and RJ attacking the rim? Could see some success there.

  15. HankScorpio4242

    After this game, RJ Barrett is shooting 57% from the floor and 43% from 3 as a Raptor.

  16. fredvancleef

    WE STILL GOT BRUCE “ULTRA GLUE” BROWN OTW

  17. – Barrett is looking like a star.

    – Quickley ran the team well

    – Gary shot the lights out

    – Scottie took over in the fourth, sealed the game when we needed it

    Good win to overcome the drama surrounding the day. Looking forward to a new direction.

  18. Kurisu_SS

    His friends and his idol traded + the expectation on him to carry the team. I wanna give scottie a hug man, must have been tough for him.

  19. lillithfair98

    4 minute stretch to close things out:

    – Barnes assists GTJ three
    – Barnes makes a fadeaway 2
    – Barnes assists Dennis three
    – Barnes makes a fadeaway 2
    – Barnes makes a midrange 2 and 1, makes FT
    – Barnes assists a GTJ 3
    – Barnes assists a Thad layup

    Garbage time.

    Barnes completely took over to close this game out.
