    Siakiam needs to be traded asap, Taking poor shots and over dribbling the ball is exactly him. Sorry Pascal not stat patting and no Super max for you and I wouldn’t be surprised if your gone buy November. GTJ and OG will benefit from learning from Darko.

    I love that when he says what he wants to do it's the total opposite of nurse I really like this guy

  8. I AM DREDAY

    I’m all for the Darko Era!!!! This man has a completely different vision for how he uses our guys and we certainly will ambush a lot of teams this season #theDarkoEra

    Looking for kyle, Ed Rogers cousin. He was at Masai comments section. I miss kyle, he's salty about Dame or Jrue not being trade up here. I think kyle is gonna be our next gm.

    The moving the ball being unselfish thing gives you regular season wins. Who will step up to hit the big shots late in games

    Less ISO/selfish basketball, more ball movement, quicker decisions, and overall more positive vibe. That's all I needed to hear.

  13. mikeleafs

    Refreshing to have a direct and open coach. Not the cliches that Nurse used to spew

  15. bait

    fVV =Essence of selfishness

    This was great mediaday q&a from darko,0.5s play sounds great….make siakam great again by less iso more 0.5s ball sounds about right. barnes poeltl young and shroder will make that happen. And dont let OG handle too much, make him greatest offball guy with Barnes/shroder/poeltl.

    nurse/FV did not move the ball or pieces.

    Only q? Does Barnes start at PG and who comes off the bench, should be shroder

  16. cccccc

    no more 3 man dribble hand off at the 3pt line that wastes 10 seconds pls

  19. nuttica

    This YouTuber gives the worst advices and has no idea what he’s talking about. He was also a FVV fanboy and also suggested Masai to give FVV his Max contract 😂

    Is there a way we can make a media trade I suggest trading Grange to the Leafs for a bag of pucks and jock straps. Go work for Tmz Grange dude annoying.

  25. Marcelo Flores

    The raptors played too much iso with Nurse the last few seasons. Terrible for player development, and team success. I like this guy

  26. Jimmy STAX

    Trading pascal is stupidity don't he was forced to play iso thats what nick burse wanted this game makes everyone better

  27. Slo Mo

    Just when I think Grange is the worst Raptors reporter asking questions, Eric Koreen says "Hold my beer"

  28. Jam Jos

    Everybody so hard on Pascal , but guys were missing alot of shots when Pascal was passin, so it goes both ways…paskal is gonna go off tgis year….guaranteed…

  32. DHARMYOG_COM

    I hope he sits pascal when he has bad games. Coach has to hold players accountable else they will run over his game strategy and not work hard
