Can’t rush it with him, bring him along slowly. You can tell he was rushing things a lil bit. Grady gonna be a good pro. Potential to be a star for sure.
Pascal defence is elite on the perimeter
I still want to see Jeff Dowtin play rather than old dudes like 40 year old Temple and Young … Get them out of here…
Woah
Grady was looking a little questionable…some silly shot attempts or attempts he needed to really commit to that he didnt and just got swatted.
Ahh my favourite raptors channel searched 4 this as soon as i finished watching the highlights
Mcdaniels is going to be good for us
How can u be excited about that game? They almost blew the lead. Dick got slapped around.
Dick did look a bit rushed and panicked in the game.
In saying that, he needs minutes to develop and being on the floor with better players will give him better looks….
As for Flynn, wow did he look bad… another game like that and lets move on.
I will be very disappointed if he is outside looking in.
In saying that, we looked 🔥 out there today!
Scottie defenitely looked impressive, n based on the first few plays i seen from him, was exactly how i want to see him play. That drive post up going to the hook shot floater is the signature move! Scottie in the post especially after a drive is so effective. Especially with the added muscle, looks like a tank out there. Aggresive scottie is the wave, thats kind why i dnt want to see him at full time pg. Sure his playmaking is good and can probably handls thw duties, but that would encourage a more passive player trying to get the team going. Scottie needs to be aggresive like tonight apply that pressure all game. Great game, team looking good so far
I think the deciding factors for Gradey are McDaniels and injuries. If all are healthy and Jalen plays as well as he did tonight there is no question in my mind that the bench is him, Boucher, Otto, Precious, and Gary. As much as we want to see the rookie get run and he fills a need in theory, I haven't seen any indication that his jumper is translating well into the NBA yet. And if the shots aren't falling he'll be sent to the G-League and developed in other ways until his game catches up.
I was there live tonight. Trent Jr was fire in the warm up and fire on the court tonight. Nice to see! Pascal didn't shoot at all and I hope he doesn't feel pressure to not shoot with all the recent comments. Other note, the crowd started chanting 'We want Gradey" during the third and when he came out at the end of third it was a shot in the arm for the crowd, with cheers and chanting every time he got the ball or made a basket. Dick clearly has a way to go to compete at the higher levels but is already seemingly a fan favourite.
Went to my first Raptors game tonight! Barnes, McDaniels and Trent looked fantactic while Siakam and Poeltl were a little rusty. Barnes could have had 10 more points in the limited time he was out there if he wasn't unselfishly dishing some amazing dimes.
We only have 4 preseason games. They have to let the starters run a lot more than the bench. Im okay not seeing the rookie play a lot rn, we just need to not forget about Gradey
Offence alr looks better but defense in this game looked terrible. Players were chasing to close out every possession.
He needs to earn his minutes and time will come.
The raptors played excellent team basketball.. It was refreshing to watch.
Red VanFlynn aint it
Trade Siakiam his defence looked good but clearly his offence won’t fit in Darkos system. Trade him to Atlanta for Bogdanovic, Griffin, Patty Mills and two future first round picks. Another trade I like is with Detroit We get Bogdanovic, Burks, Jalen Duran and a unprotected first round pick.
Ben, I was at the game. McDaniels looks really good. Gradey’s defence is lacking. Offense looks pretty meh from him.
This was a fun game to watch because they played together … loved how fast they played … this season is gonna be fun … LETS GO RAPTORS 🏀🇨🇦🏀❤️
Before people get on Gradey. He is only 19 and needs development. He will need good.
