This Says A LOT…

This Says A LOT…

This game said a lot not just regarding the main storyline going around the Toronto Raptors right now about Gary Trent Jr’s future whether or not he’ll be with the team in the coming off season not just about that not just about the Toronto Raptors and their pursuit of the tank it’s clear it’s

Evident there’s no questions about it at this point this team is actively losing with no real hope of winning any games we can see it by the recent stretch we’ve only got a win against the Charlotte Hornets I got a few things I want to address about this which again

Still some positives so we end up keeping our draft pick and not even just about the memes that came from this game because a lot was said in the postgame Jersey swap against the Orlando Magic but this team this direction we got some answers on some of the players so we’re

Going to dive into it all regarding this Toronto Raptors loss to the Orlando Magic but before we do make sure you guys subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already because we want to keep you up to date with all the latest toron Raptors news and over 55% of you

Days against Orlando with the Toronto Raptors have some moments have a couple positives here and there this one was a lot tougher to watch than that other Orlando Magic game but still coming out with the L coming out with the loss now the main storyline I did a video on him

Ear earlier today regarding Gary Trent Jr cuz he had a massive explosion the star boy was looking like the star boy Gary Trent Jr in the previous game against the Orlando Magic had 31 points a season highe splashing threes left right and center and then the big topic

Over this weekend was we need to bring back Gary we need to give him the money give him the contract and all of these types of things and I am still of the frame of the belief that I’d be happy with Gary Trent Jr coming back to the

Toronto Raptors he is an elite three-point shooter regardless of his inconsistencies his ups and downs overall he shoots over 40% from behind the three-point line and that is a legitimate NBA skill which would be valuable around guys like RJ Barrett as well as Scotty Barnes so I’m happy with

Gary Tren Jr coming back but at the right price Gary Tren Jr isn’t a facilitator he’s a guy that you know can be a little bit of a ball stopper and as we saw tonight he’s a guy that is inconsistent it’s just is what it is

Tonight we saw the highs and lows with Gary Trent Jr tonight in this one 6 to 12 had 15 points and a few of these came down the stretch of the game when it was already sort of over but two six six in the three-point line four rebounds three

Assists at least he had three steals he’s improved himself on the defensive end but I don’t know no explosion of a performance of Gary Trent Jr he’s really the number one option on this team he is the guy that has the most NBA experience it feels like the exception of Kelly o

Lenck but the main sort of bucket getter for this Toronto Raptors group here now at this point and still kind of drops a dud against the Orlando Magic in a game that again we don’t have expectations we’re going to win we don’t have that sort of thought of hey we’re going to

Beat the league one of the League’s best defenses a playoff team without Scotty without Perle on an already rebuilding team but Gary as he did the other night made the game competitive made it close and had Raptors fans hyped up with his sort of positioning but now we saw it in

The the second game of this double header against the Orlando Magic we see the both both sides of the coin so this is not me saying we shouldn’t bring back Gary Trent Jr it’s not me saying it’s an automatic gun or anything like that but it just reveals both sides the whole

Gary Trent Jr scenario so we’ll see how the rest of the season shakes out I don’t know if we should even read too much into the rest of this season because again the basketball is horrible the product on the court is just bad for the torona Raptors here now at this

Point but you know we can take some positives and when young players are playing well that’s the positives we can take from and I guess this guy isn’t really a young player because he is older than Gary Trent Jr so Gary is one of those young guys we can look at as a

Positive but Jordan War continues to be a bucket getter Off the Bench for the Toronto Raptors in terms of opportunities 18 points seven rebounds for war 25 minutes it felt like he didn’t get a bunch of run in this game despite the fact he was the Raptor’s

Really best player in this one but uh in terms of scoring in terms of getting some stuff like rocking like Jordan war is a guy that only made one three but can score all over the basketball court and continues in limited minutes to just prove to the Toronto Raptors fans front

Office and coaching staff that sure he lacks a little bit of uh you know skill on the defensive end he’s not a plus Defender by any means but he’s certainly a guy that the torona Raptors need some scoring some Firepower Off the Bench you know something to really just change the

Paas throw out there to sort of get some buckets he can be a microwave out there and get some um points on the board whether it be jump shots you know midies whether it be shots around the basket Jordan War Can Be an Effective score for the Toronto Raptors so that’s a positive

There for the Raptors he continues to play well in limited runs so happy with that sort of acquisition the Pascal seak trade again are we going to give him because he’s a free agent this offseason 10 1520 million no that would be a bad move but to keep him back to keep him

Back in the Raptor system maybe try to develop his defense I think there’s a legitimate NBA player in Jordan wara so that’s a nice positive there but that’s basically it for mainly in terms of positives from this game I mean and Kelly elck 11 points four rebounds just

Has had a tough go against the Orlando Magic in the past couple of games already discussed Gary Manuel quickly didn’t have his jump shot going at all over the past couple games 12 points not even facilitating too much had seven rebounds at least but 415 from the field

0 of three from behind the three-point line so he’s struggling aaji continues to not really have it on the offensive end nine points I know he’s dealing with knee sword this but again we traded that late first round pick for aaly and he shown some flashes being really good

Especially as a 2-a guy if he’s knocking down some threes I think he could be an awesome piece for this Raptor group but ai’s definitely a dude that hasn’t really uh stepped up tremendously with the extended minut extended run now he’s playing completely out of position and

All the things we’ve mentioned in recent sort of reactions to these games so not going to be too down on a baji there but then Off the Bench you we got three minutes from jayen McDaniels plus five in those three minutes so no little Tony snow statline there for for uh Jay

McDaniels Bruce Brown again we’re hoping he increases his averages in these minutes so only 23 minutes of Bruce Brown you know 12 points four assists still praying to the basketball gods that he will still be able to net us a first round pick at this year’s NBA

Draft you know jonte Porter again looks fluid out there I don’t think Porter’s playing bad despite the stat line not looking too great you know four points seven rebounds three assists you know all around there but again jonte Porter’s developing he’s not someone we’re going to be able to rely upon and

You know this type of stuff but do think jonte Porter is earning a roster spot at least but yeah and then we also have the guy uh you know Jami Ramsey who has been solid it looked good in the last game against the Orlando Magic got some extended run over Javon Freeman Liberty

In tonight’s sort of outing again he’s on that 10-day contract I think Darko rakovic is giving him the opportunities to see what he can do and he’s bringing on the defensive end had five points two steals two assists do I think he should be playing over Javon Freeman Liberty

Gfl I don’t know if that’s the move I mean we just gave uh JFL a multi-year contract I think the SEC the back half of that is Ungar but he’s on an actual roster spot so you know who should be getting minutes here or there that’s

Stuff that could be debated but I don’t know this is deep bench players we’ll see if they develop no real crazy positive takeaways from any of the players that are out there on the court but the main positive from this game is the Raptors are now tied with the

Memphis gley for the six worst ODS in the NBA from the way things are going again I showed our recent sort of stretch of game I don’t think there’s a world where the toron knock knock on wood I don’t think there’s a world where the Grizzlies lose

More games than to close out this season heck with DeAndre Aiden playing well I’m back on Courtside die just as well check out uh my recent video on DeAndre Aiden but he’s been killing it for the Blazers so maybe the Blazers can get a few games

If we can get down to bottom five that would be massive but I made this pull kind of ingest 11 days ago now at this point but I think it was to loss against the Pistons I want to say who was who is this loss may have been the Pistons I’m

Not 100% sure but I made this PLL will the Raptors win another game the season and 73% have said yes you know I I threw out there no again a little ingest or whatever but the Raptors been losing games since we haven’t had any W’s there

At that point so I don’t know maybe uh maybe the Raptors can lose out this season and get us the number one overall pick but we’ll see let me know what you guys think about the tonal Raptors I think this game said a lot about a few

Things going on oh and finally the last thing I have to address us is uh what what this picture is ridiculous I threw it in the thumbnail but what’s gry dick out here doing man that’s uh that’s tough but you guyses the best meas far

You are actually the best if you end up watching this game against the Orlando Magic but I’m signing off cheers

This game tonight says a lot about Gary Trent Jr’s future, the Toronto Raptors season and post-game memes. Ben Rogers breaks down the game and all the major takeaways.
