Couple thoughts from tonight’s game.
Tough night for Scottie against a very physical Knicks defense. Hopefully these types of games motivate him to keep improving and embrace his new role.
We’ve lost a lot of size with the departures of Siakam, OG and Precious. We basically can’t function against a team like the Knicks without Poeltl.
On a positive note, Grady played well. He’s shooting with confidence again and making good use of his length of defense.
Enjoy the tank, fellow Raptors!
this team is horrendous
Precious outscoring Quickley wasn’t something I thought I’d see tonight š
Brunson/Randle being the best 2 players on the court aside, Knicks dominated us in the paint. doubling our rebounds yikes
0-2 in the Bruce Brown era
There’s gonna be a lot of growing pains for the rest of the season so we need to look at the process. Scottie is going to struggle in this transition to the undisputed #1 on the team. Still developing chemistry between all the new guys. Trade rumours persisting for some guys.
Liked what we saw from Gradey tonight. Thought that was a good bright spot tonight. Hope his confidence continues to grow and he gets more minutes.
What I wanna know is wtf do we tell guys to do at the FT line. RJ was an 83% FT shooter with the Knicks this year. 70% coming into tonight which will be worse after 3/9 tonight.
This rebuild will be interesting. Masai talked about patience but once they ink Scottie to that extension this summer the clock starts to tick. This deadline and offseason are still very important times to make the right moves to set the team up for the future.
On a side note, please go get Herb Jones lol
We wanted a rebuild, we got it, now we have to live with it. It will take time, some games will be fun to watch and many will be ugly like this one.
Gonna be a lot of games like this the rest of the year. Shout out to Gradey for staying ready and knocking down some threes
Called it some months ago, if Pascal gets traded the āfansā addicted to hating this team will shift this ire to Scottie.
Gonna be a lot of growing pains like tonight with this rebuilding squad so Iām not mad the result, just wanna see a better process. Really poor execution on basic offensive stuff, lack of energy on the glass, guys falling asleep instead of boxing out. That stuff can be improved on.
Hopefully guys like Scottie use tonight as a learning experience to grow in the future. He really struggled against that physical defense the Knicks play
Do people understand what a rebuild is
It’s clear reading the game thread comments that a lot of the people commenting became fans during the peak of the We the North era.
The team made it very clear that we are now in a rebuild. We now have a trio of young players who might become our core (+dick). You need to change your expectation on what you expect from a young team. We have a lot of holes now (no size/depth at forward/center) and there will be a lot of ups and down, especially this season.
What you need to look forward to is the growth of the young players, how well they start doing once they gain chemistry and grow as players.
This team has a bright future, and I look forward to how BBQ Dick grows.
If rest of season we can safely say Grady dick looks like productive nba player
I say thatās biggest win we could get
Wanna see him play more mins with Barnes, Quickley and Barrett
His shot looking good
Blow it up!
Wait…we already did…
Once Jak comes back, the games will definitely be more enjoyable to watch but alas we move on to the next
Need Masai and Bobby to build quality depth for each position over next couple of years. Its been many years since we’ve had quality depth covering each position. Hopefully, they’re over their 6’9” experiment.
Dick would have had 14 if Chris passed half a millisecond earlier smh š¤¬š¤¬
This isnāt addition by subtraction. This is long division. Welcome to the rebuild.
The game started promising but oof… that second half.
OG reminding all the casual fans why the trade wasn’t a fleece.
Losing OG/Pascal/Precious has made the team much, much smaller. And we’re feeling it.
All in all, games like this are to be expected from a rebuilding team.
Damn precious gave us the work TF is going on š
No D, no rebounding, no size, no physicality. Weāve become such a soft basketball team. We went from having too many forwards, to now having too many guards. Masaiās gonna have to find the right balance, because right now we are too easy to play against
Sucks we couldnāt beat them but it is what it is
I wish RJ didnāt miss so many free throws, he seemed shook up, onto the next one š¤·āāļø
I mean, yeahā¦ we expected a loss, but the lack of effort, especially on defense is just really disheartening to see.
Boucher is a garbage minutes centre. Too bad there wonāt be much demand for him from around the league.
The reason we get out-rebounded so much is because of our offensive scheme. Itās not Jakob being out, but over-committing to playing a low-percentage stretch 5 forā¦ reasonsā¦ who the hell do you expect to rebound if we donāt put anyone in the paint.
Just really tough to watch the offense, the defense, and entirely clear absence of COACHING.Ā
Should have kept Pascal. So what if he wanted a long term deal?
Chris Boucher is not an nba player. His BBIQ is godawful, jumps at every shot fake on defence, canāt finish any bunnies at the rim, and has hands of stone. Donāt know how heās stayed on the roster for this long.
Precious saw our comments and took it personal
It feels like this team was not ready to hang with the Knicks intensity today. We had poor effort in the glass and very little fight tonight. It was frankly embarrassing.
Seemed like the only people fighting out there were RJ and IQ.
Which brings me to one of my concerns with Scottie. It seems like if the game isnāt going his way he has a tendency to mentally check out. His intensity when heās struggling is minuscule compared to his intensity when heās producing.
He may have gotten injured early in this so Iāll cut him some slack. But besides that he was completely locked down and didnāt really provide much compared to what he usually does.
OG – 1 Scottie – 0
No Scottie hate. Remember – OG had held almost every superstar to a horrible shooting night this year.
this game had growing pains written all over it š
but hey, shout out to gradey! good to see him come alive
They need frontcourt help so bad. We need another big and wing defender before next season or we are fucked. Thankfully Masais strong point has been finding wings with late picks š¤š¤
add 25 points to scottieās 9 and we still lose
NY is better than us yall. we are a fucking 12 seed playing against a playoff team
Like the sub finds a new scapegoat every timeā¦ mods we need to start banning people cause we arenāt gonna do this every time the team gets a new franchise player.
At least we got some dick bombs
Raps fans: We need a rebuild.
Masai: Ok I traded some guys and now we have young players and picks for the future.
Raps fans: Why we no winning? Why isnāt Jontay doing well? We suck. Bro come on we canāt be this terrible, do something about it.
Like guys, weāre entering a rebuild. We canāt be good forever, what we had was amazing and we got the ring but now weāre moving on and for a while we might suck. If you donāt feel like watching these years or however long then whatever.
Also yeah Jontay had a bad game but like heās on a 2 way. The fact that he was doing so well was great but regression was expected.
Here you go young bucks, this is what a classic raptors game is. These games bring back 02-12 memories.
Raps going through their own āTrust the Processā era now.
Things are going to look bad before they look good again.
I want wins, but I realize I got to re-orient my perspective on things.
Dicks shot is finally coming along, please give him more run so he can develop some consistency
Yeesh, tough blowout loss. Scottie got completely overwhelmed on both ends and couldn’t put together much on offense. Sloppy games from everyone else as well, and we’re REALLY stretching thin at center. Growing pains, but they can’t be losing like this.
On the plus side, RJ is looking pretty consistent in the role he carved out on our team. Dick also looks like he belongs in the league again and did well on both ends. So strange how he can just suddenly slot back into the lineup after that disastrous slump of his.
Every player sucked after halftime. But Jontay Porter, man, what a brutal game, couldn’t do anything the Raptors needed him to do on defense, he had two rebounds all game, and then on offense he couldn’t hit the simplest of shots and then he capped the night off by intercepting a pass to Gary for an open three and then throwing it into the fucking stands. What the heck.
I miss my turtle please come backššš
Also i do not ever want to hear poeltl slander ever again
I find it funny how people are acting like this kind of game is unique to the post-trade (“rebuilding”) Raptors. As if we haven’t seen games like this (and worse) over the past couple of seasons. We lost to Utah by 32 points a week ago.
The Knicks are playing really well right now, so credit to them. Obviously a pretty poor performance from Scottie Barnes in the second half.
Y’all need to understand, BBQ has only been playing together for 11 games. You can tell they still don’t feel comfortable with each other. IQ is still figuring out how much he should look for his shot vs playmaking, Scottie still defers too much. I’m happy with RJs aggressiveness and playmaking in the paint though.
Things can’t get any worse, it will only get better as they grow comfortable with each other.
Darko also needs to try to play Dick with BBQ instead of Trent to see how he meshes with the trio.
Tough game, the Knicks look great with OG, it’s clear the Raps need to make trades/draft to add to their front court depth. But I’m very excited about BBQs upside, finally the future looks bright and the Raptors have a lot of flexibility now.
on the bright side Gradey had some nice shots tbh
I wasn’t a big fan of RJ before the trade but I’ve loved him as a Raptor. Today the missed free throws were rough and inexplicable (fortunately or unfortunately, the game became a blowout so it didn’t matter) but I appreciate that he was out there working hard to rebound the ball because ***nobody else was.***
Nice to see the NY crowd give the former Knicks some love
Precious loves playing against his former teams lol
OG +20. Sweet prince.
18 points for Precious, He is the face of the league and we should have built around him instead of that bum.
Brunson is a top tier pg.Barnes played worse than I thought he would.
I was at the game tonight. A couple observations. At the moment, the way they looked during the game and time outs, their body language, this is a bottom 5 team in the league. There is no chemistry between players (hard to blame them with a ton of new additions), and Darko is trotting o it some terrible line ups. It doesnāt help that we donāt have a healthy starting level center. The rest of the season will show us who Darko is. We need to see stretches of good offense, with proper spacing and lineups. There has to be games where we beat some better teams because of coaching. If not, then this team will finish 4th worst in the east because thatās where our talent level currently is
