RAPTORS TOOK A STRONG FIRST WITH A WIN OVER CHARLOTTE| RAPTORS VS HORNETS RECAP

I’ll take it a win is a win baby a win is a win I don’t care if we beat the Charlotte Hornets or the Charlotte horseback Riders I’ll take the win any day twice on Sundays every win is appreciated especially under these circumstances every piece and every

Ounce of winning effort is to be respected and appreciated from this group this was the best case scenario without Scotty Scotty going down he’s probably out for the rest of the season I mean that’s I wouldn’t play him for the rest of the season I would just

Let him completely heal and go into the Olympic trials and and and and become a part of the Olympic team best case scenario there as well but listen winning tonight this is the start we want this is the best this is the best I’m not worried about the performance

It’s the effort and we won RJ and quickly led the charge and everybody aggressively followed the lead we didn’t play to survive we played to win and with this win I’m not going to lie to you it restored some of that hope it restored some of that optimism that was

Lost when Scotty went down we don’t have to worry about the slow singing and flower bringing T night this was this was a win we need hey and they didn’t show the Charlotte Bobcat Hornets no respect whatever they situation that’s their business we came in there to put that work in and get

This win that’s all I saw we don’t care about nothing I don’t want to hear like there are times when guys are in the situation that we’re in and it it’s that they they’ll play for the sympathy they’ll play for the survival no no no not no

Not really just came in there to get busy that’s all we came in there to earn ours we put together a honest day’s work and got an honest win and that’s all we can ask for that’s all we can ask for and we close like it wasn’t a game with

Without his without his es and flows we came in there and we came to hoop from the start from the start we put out we did the listen we let we won the first half that was important cuz we lost that first quarter and we caught

Him in the second quarter won the first half very important they had 24 minutes left to pull up pull out whatever [ __ ] they was going to pull out whatever however they was going to try and do it they had their chance it ain’t work we put in enough work hit enough shots

We did everything we could possibly do to get this win we started out strong and we finished off strong that’s all you can ask for like I said most teams in this situation that we’re in we want sympathy and look for excuses if we don’t win we simply came in there for the

Victory 92 shot that I’m happy that we were aggressive 92 shots is a sign of aggression to me we didn’t shoot that well but we shot good enough to beat the Charlotte Bobcat Hornets that’s all I care about long as we beat them I don’t care I’m not here to split heads and

Talk about percentages as long as we got the win we hit 45 rebounds 58 points in the paint 26 fast break points 26 assists listen this was a good first step this was a very good first step and it came down to free throws in the end of course

You hey Gary Trent Jr missed the the first part of a you know two free throws but he made up the difference and got to steal to seal a deal that’s all listen make up for your mistakes you’re a professional he did his job you made a mistake made up for

It nothing else to talk about the ball was moving players were moving we look like the one we look like the better team there was no confusion on what we came to do we came there for the W I don’t know if the Charlotte Bobcat horners understood this I hope they Ain

Think they were just going to come in there and saet their way into a victory but what I saw was one team coming to win and another team just thinking [ __ ] is kind of sweet if you would have told him they was going to lose this game I don’t

Think they would have believed you cuz they there was this there was this tone there was an arrogance there like they they felt like they could pull they they could win this game they felt like they had enough veteran pieces but those are the guys nobody wanted like look at who

They played those are the guys that other teams Davis Burt Williams he’s been on like four three teams already two teams this year after being with the Celtics you know what I mean so nah we want and and and PJ Washington had a magnificent game the last time he played

Against us I’m happy we beat the break we got him him up out of there you know what I mean let him take that walk of shame but um it this was the best case scenario to me like I I feel I I honestly feel like they’re going to be worth watching even

With without Scotty being there there’s going to be some moments and there’s going to be a reason for us to continue to watch this team play basketball and that’s that’s pretty much what you want you want a reason to keep watching you know what I mean cuz it it’s we that was

A major blow losing Scotty emotionally and psychologically cuz that was like like I said it was D STW that broke the camel’s back and then we have the Charlotte Bob hat Bobcat hornets and we we get a little bit of that feeling back you know what I mean something to make

Us feel alive again it’s kind of dope man I’ll take it and most of us we would have understood the law too we would have understood it you know what I mean we it’s they have they also have to have an adjustment period where they got

To get used to the new group and the whole nine and the new Dynamic we would have understood it if they would have lost but they wasn’t trying to lose they were coming in making sure they crashed the boards they were making sure they forc guys off the

Three-point line they made sure that there was a tone there and that they was was going to match the Charlotte Hornet’s energy no matter what from the start from the start they were matching their energy and if they couldn’t and if the if they if there was ever

Opportunity to take control of the game we took control over the game we had points in the game where we LED comfortably they had to fight back and you know though they had the The Replacements to fight back with all we had to do was just continue to apply pressure and hold

On once we got control over the game it just it just it just felt like we just had to finish strong because we did enough to keep them from getting confident because they wanted if they would have led by at least eight points in the in in the first half and finish

That first half off up by eight points I think we would have had it would have been a tougher role for us winning that first half was very important you know what I mean being able to hit shots and and score and and just be aggressive and

They can’t they couldn’t do nothing with it we didn’t come in there to survive like nobody came in there looking for sympathy points to show that they’re competing despite the situation [ __ ] came in there to win everybody came in there to win everybody there was one thing that was on

Everybody’s mind that was getting that W RJ had 23 and N 239 and six quickly had 22 s rebounds 11 assists like I said I want to see how RJ finishes the season cuz he’s very close to being in an Allstar conversation and quick has to solidify that and prove that he’s a

Starting point guard in the NBA cuz right now the stigma on him is the NBA didn’t give him the the Knicks didn’t give him the Reign for a reason now look at now with jayen Brunson going out they could have definitely used quickly definitely but the fact that we have him

I’m I just want to see him balance having the ball in his hands a lot more you know what I mean a lot of these point guards nowadays will look to feed themselves before the group I want I want to honestly see him be a floor General run the team and make everybody

Better while he’s still getting his and he did that tonight 22 points seven rebounds 11 assists G money had 17 points he started off a little funny you know what I mean osai aaji 13 points nine rebounds close to a double double uh Nimo um 11 points Grady had 11 points

Four rebounds like is it’s not much there not much we could for this is everybody delivered everybody that we expected to deliver delivered and that’s what you want to see guys do when they have an opportunity to compete and get more playing time at the pro level cuz

You’re not going to get a lot of opportunities now baby this is the ideal situation for these guys it’s them it’s it’s you you know what it is you playing varsity and a whole bunch of dudes fell off the team and next to you know you got the

Greenest of Lights man listen it is what it is I failed off of teams and I’ve benefited from guys’s failing off of teams it’s the gift that keeps on giving but it we we we got guys who who want opportunities who need opportunities and now they got the opportunity let’s see

What they do with it let’s see what the work let’s see what the end result looks like cuz you can you can say I want I want I want all you want but let’s see let’s see what you’ve been working on let’s see what the results look like I I

Trust RJ I trust quickly you know what I mean G money not so much osai I’m learning about him every game Grady I trust him as well we gonna see what everybody else you know DJ carton you know what I mean we didn’t see I I wanted to see a little

More of Jayvon Freeman Liberty I want to see more of him but I know they’re bringing him along in a very responsible way but but I want to see I want to see more you know let’s let’s see what they can do let’s see if they can produce and

Win it ain’t just that you getting on the court like they set the tone they beat Charlotte we now it’s like all right we don’t y’all going for the win we see the attitude we see the temperament we see the mental toughness they want to win and and the standard

Doesn’t change that’s what’s important to me the fact that you can tell by the way that they’re playing the philosophy about winning has not changed when you say next man up this is exactly what we expect regardless of what we understand the performance is

Not going to be at the level of it as it was with other guys being there because other guys were more further along in their career more advanced players but as long as we get the same end result I don’t care about percentages and all that as long as we

Win I don’t care how we do it I don’t care and we needed this win out the gate very very important we can’t even pretend like it’s not that First Step starting the the New Direction the last eight weeks without Scotty most likely getting the win that’s it it’s a it it

It gets the monkey off their back so to speak and enables them to continue to play with a chip on their shoulder and be optimistic about and and more serious about winning these games this is business regardless of who’s on the court or who’s not available winning is

Still the objective and as long as that’s the the theme and the tone we going to go a whole lot further than people think in the long run like in the short game right now we just want to see guys make progress but in the long run

We’re going to need that attitude and that temperament and and and that ability that resourcefulness to be able no matter who’s on the court or who’s not on the court we still have to find a way to get the job done we still have to

Find a way to win this is a great this is a really good step in the right direction cuz we cuz of course you can make excuses you can look for sympathy you can look for all of those things but it’s a that’s A Primitive way of thinking it’s 2024 there’s no excuses

There’s enough information you got to be responsible for what you’re responsible for quality the quality of play is going to dip we understand that but the end result has to remain has to remain I honestly want to get it to the point where losing isn’t even considered a

Option no matter like I want to get it to the point where winning is just the only option regardless of who’s available or not winning is the objective and the only objective winning is king that’s it it’s the only reason why we step on the

Court we don’t step on the court to show you our shoes and to show you that we can play we want to show you that we can win because that’s more that’s more important than any performance any individual performance individual performances are cool great conversation pieces winning is what gets you the

Championship winning is what gets you where you really want to be cuz Robert Ory never dropped 50 but [ __ ] got seven championship rings when you start talking about winning in championships his name is going you going to come across him you definitely going to come across

Him Big Shot Bob that’s all you got to say in any language you that’s the first person that pops up in your head and the only person because he won he’s a winner regardless of what it was he was part of winning and I want I want our guys

Regardless to be a part of winning anybody that comes and puts on a Raptor’s uniform they have to understand they’re here to be a part of the winning not performing not getting a contract not no you’re here to win you’re here to help us win we know you got your own

Dreams but our agenda comes first the main the main objective is that we continue to win we get there and we stay there this is a good step cuz they listen other organizations it would have been understandable like all right we got we’re taking a couple steps back to get

A couple steps forward nah D Doo made sure they understood what this was we ain’t taking no steps back to take no steps forward we took enough steps back it’s only forward now that’s the only option that’s it we took our steps back we lost OG we lost Pascal those are our

Steps back we lost Scotty for the rest of the year those are our steps back steps forward are the only thing that we care about right now that’s the only thing that matter we already took our steps back we good on that we good we got our 10,000 steps already let’s get

Let’s get to running 26 fast break points we getting to running ain’t no excuses next man
