Are The Raptors Really This Good? | Raptors vs Hawks Post Game Show

Back to back no problem for the Raptors they win back-to- back games out of the NBA Allstar break and are one win away from the Darko pizza party how did they manage it as 7 and a half Point underdogs at the Atlanta Hawks let’s break it down in tonight’s postgame

Show reminder we do content like this I got a lot of people watching live right now we may have people watching back the postgame show later we do content like this for every Raptor game so it’s a great time to get subscribed to any of the amateur sports platforms amateur

Reactions amateur sports and hey if you’re enjoying what you see from this one make sure you do hit the like button it does make a huge difference to support the show but wow the Raptors came out the gates exploded out of the gates took a massive lead against the

Atlanta Hawks yes they fell off a little bit as the game went on but they meant business today they came in with this great demeanor and they showcased it nine players players featured for the Raptors today eight of them had double digits of points the other one had zero but he

Still had a good game that one player that had zero points overall and he was one of the starters surprisingly in the absence of RJ Barrett but the Raptors yesterday a nice win against the Brooklyn Nets they come in today in the second night of a back to back where

They had to travel like they were in Toronto last night traveled to Atlanta for today’s game they are seven and a half Point underdogs man to pull out the victory here 123 to 121 I’ll preface this by saying I understand the grand scheme of things it’s probably better

For this team to lose games rather than win games at this point however uh we’ll speak on the game itself it’s tough to watch a game here and be upset watch them win and you especially see after the game the guys are pumped up Scotty

Barnes is amped up like the guys want to win players don’t tank coaches don’t tank they want to win games they want to be here and boost morale win basketball games that’s what they did it makes it a lot more enjoyable to watch kind of knowing the players still have the

Hunger and desire to win games so the Raptors at the gate produced some great defense uh like I said they got out to a massive lead in the first quarter and even though they relinquished that by halftime they just played a solid overall performance against the Atlanta

Hawks early on in the game Jordan hair’s defense was excellent against Trey Young and the Raptors despite giving up offense rebound after offensive rebound after offensive rebound could not miss took an 11-point lead into the break after the first quarter only were up by one at halftime after the defense

Struggled in the second quarter but ever other than that like here’s two games in a row I’ll beat against lower tier NBA teams the Hawks and the Nets the Raptors have showed up in the last couple of games to produce produce much better levels of Defense

Than we have been accustomed to as of late darkar rakovic said that there was a big emphasis over the All-Star break to work on defense and I we’re kind of seeing that I mean I think we’re have to see a little bit more from it to really say definitively

That you know that this is something that’s clearly been worked on and is going very well for this team but I I mean I have to say um it’s been it’s been impressive to see the the levels increase here and it’s been impressive to see hey people actually people

Actually give a the guys actually give a your morale was so low it was so like tough to watch games leading the All-Star break I I think the All-Star break came at a really good time for this team I know we only have two sample sides against again not so

Good NBA teams but it very much seems as though these guys care and and want to be here and and want to play these games and as somebody who watches every game and streams live for every game that makes makes it a lot easier to watch so overall performance-wise things that

Went well we got a really nice Scotty Barnes game once again 20 points 10 assists five rebounds a steal and a block seems as though the All-Star break really refreshed him and got him into a better head State and we’re seeing that yakob pe’s defense has been outstanding

In the last couple of games was once again there added in the offense today 12 points 13 rebounds defensive rebounding could have improved but six offensive rebounds got him up to 13 Rebound in total and hey six assists from the big man you don’t see that every day Emanuel quickley was

Outstanding 9 of 20 from the field six of 11 from three seven rebounds five assists good for 24 points Gary Trent uh didn’t follow up yesterday’s ridiculous performance 13 points 414 shooting yeah maybe slightly inefficient here but overall not too too bad Jordan noar is a

Guy with zero points 0 five from the field 0 five from three but I got to say his defense he brought it here uh was a bit of a surprised to see him start ahead of anybody else with RJ Barrett out due to injury management but man was

He locked in uh a nice positive performance overall in the 14 minutes didn’t get much Play Time second half but solid solid Off the Bench good numbers all around they had a rough first half but second half they came through Grady dick was another excellent performance here 18 points for the

Rookie 8 to 13 from the field he did start six of seven actually I think so he came tapered off later on but nonetheless a great night o abaji with by far his best his best performance of the Raptor 14 points four of five from the from three five of

Six from the field Bruce Brown he’s up and down Bruce Brown is up and down didn’t mean to do that but solid performance 12 points kinck nice fundamentally driven performance 10 points six assists five rebounds uh five fouls but a block to go with it a solid night from Kelly o lenck pretty

Good and when you keep a guy as good as Trey young to just 11 points and 413 shooting you’re doing a lot of things right it’s kind of reminiscing of the Nick nurse days where the Raptors were able to just kind of shut down an opposition star player and live with the

Rest and yeah they kind of got that here a a rare on night for sadique Bay from three they survive um bad night from Bogden bogdanovich he was getting locked up a little bit tonight too but yeah great defensive performance overall by the Raptors I think that’s where the game is

Won for the team because they hold the Hawks to 44% shooting 32% shooting from three 31 rather from three great defensive levels they gave up the extra possessions but 49% of the field solid by the Raptors 39% from three once again solid by the Raptors they relinquished

Four extra field goal attempts and 16 extra free throw attempts and still win this game yeah the rebounding was bad they give up 20 offensive rebounds and only get 11 themselves that’s a problem but the defense was good enough here that it posted him on the line to get a

Win is it I mean is it rare or what for for the Raptors to win based on their defense this season that has been a rare sight to see but it is a sight that we got out of the game today I’m happy it it you know it’s it’s

Nice to see something that they actually wanted to work on it is actually coming through and they’re able to to Showcase it on court albe it not against the most formidable opponents as I’ve said on numerous occasions but you know there was so many many games this season where the defense was

Not existent no matter who they were playing so very happy to report that it was here today and things are going well for this team out of the All-Star break CU it seemed like the team needed that morale boost upcoming for the schedule here the Raptors have Indiana on Monday

So get the weekend off then we’ll have Dallas on Wednesday Golden State Friday Charlotte on Sunday so a good like little break in between each game there of a day and bunch of those games will be at home they’ll be away in Indiana on

Monday and hey two wins in a row we keep talking about the Darko pizza party there’s not going to be tons and tons of opportunities to get that three-game win streak so it’ll be just a little bit interesting to see if the Raptors can come through and end

Up getting the three-game win streak that has become a bit of a meme at this point but who knows uh Darko comes through rewards the boys because again you know what’s great is is that the guys out there they still they still are fighting they still want

To win basketball games I guess it’s somewhat refreshing to see let’s see how Monday goes but the team will enjoy the weekend off after the backto back wins all right guys that’ll do it for tonight’s postgame show we do content like this for pretty much every Raptors

You again next time as the Raptors take on the Pacers on Monday

WOW! The Raptors win against a play-in hungry team the Atlanta Hawks. The Raptors ]had the early lead in this game, managing a double digit lead for a good chunk of the first half. The Nets battled hard and made it close but some excellent defending and clutch shots gave the Raptors a 123-121 W. The Raps were missing RJ Barrett tonight but Jordan Nwora fit in well. Although he was not much help scoring, his defense was great.

This is the first time in a while we saw this team give their all and come out on top. This is exactly the type pf performance Darko was brought in to do. Lets keep the vibes rolling and developing this young core!
