Next Up: OKC Thunder | Raptors Today – March 22, 2024
Raptor fans ail Austine Randy irvan back at it breaking down the Tonto Raptor next match up it’s a Friday night date we should do a show with the Oklahoma City Thunder I think I’ve heard you say that before stop okay let’s get into it
OKC RS now this is um I guess some seins of the Toronto Raptors minus all the guys you’re truly familiar with going up against another group of players that you might not completely be familiar with cuz the depth and youth of OKC you know you got to be watched them on a
Night toight basis to understand exactly who’s playing for this team cuz so many guys step up well this team is going to be good for the next I would say five to seven eight years depending on how contract situations go and they got a clut of picks left still they have I was
They have like I don’t know was like four first round picks in the next two years they got six second round picks or something like that in the next two years they are this is crazy this team and and when you look at the the back
End of the roster guys that can tribute Isaiah Joe case Wallace who I saw work out prior to the draft that kid is going to be a player they won when he dropped in thearon Wiggins is playing well for them they got the other Jaylen Williams like you said power forward they got
Olivier SAR who’s who’s you know going to develop eventually as a center they got Gordon Hayward at the at the trade deadline yeah who knows if he’s injured or not but but he he he’s a solid player too like this team this team listen they win around watch watch out you start
Getting that kind of confidence you have that kind of you know gumption you win around you beat a good team you could win a couple more that team could win a couple more so for the Raptors at at the very least this is a young team that
Likes to get up and down and so will that at least play well into what this collection of players is capable of doing because this team doesn’t often get bogged down in the half court even though they have the assets to do it yeah I I think for the Raptors look you
Just got to keep playing hard there’s a lot of guys that are playing for their NBA lives right and that can be a dangerous thing so just like the they played on that road trip where they went 0 and four but they were in the game against Phoenix they were in the game
Against Denver they were in the game against uh who was the third team Portland I think it was no that’s not no that’s overtime with Portland is it overtime yeah Portland and Detroit so they they could have won you know three of those four games with you know four
Starters out more or less like that nobody in the NBA is winning many games with four starters out I don’t care what team you have I don’t even care if it’s okay okay I was going to say they might be the one team right they could be the
One team just I just praised them like that but but you got to come out there and you got to play hard you got to know that you’re not just playing for the team that you’re playing for but you’re playing for the other 29 teams too
Because just the way the NBA Life Is Right Ramsay’s got to go out there and give it everything he’s got War’s got to do the same thing JFL JFL has got to do that uh jonte Porter all these guys who don’t have guaranteed deals exactly they
Got to go out there and make a name for them Bruce Brown and Bruce and they they’re doing that you know like aside from the game against Sacramento this team has has been competitive when you don’t even think they can be competitive and that says something about the
Coaching staff and and the guys that they do have at the back end of the bench all right so it looks like it’s going to be a rashed Wallace type of game and both teams are going to play hard don’t lie oh both teams played hard
Man both teams played hard that’s it the Toronto Raptors go up against the OKC Thunder Friday night remember it’s an early tip 700 p.m. you can catch it on sportset family networks sn590 with the radio call Raptor SN is after that so don’t forget about that feel free to
