TORONTO RAPTORS VS MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES REACTION…NEWBIE QUICKLEY LEADS RAPTORS TO 2ND WIN IN A ROW!!!

All right guys what’s going on welcome back to Top Line it’s your boy it’s your boy Chris and uh listen these new look raps man new these new look waps uh you know with the they two- 0 now since the acquisition of RJ Barrett and quickly and the

Unfortunate trading of OG and unkn be now it’s a lot down pack in this game because there so much to talk about um first of all let’s dive into the Newbie um when I was in the military we said new boot let’s let’s dive into the new boot um

Porter uh did I thought yeah he had three rebounds I didn’t like I didn’t like that his first couple shots were threes like you know go get your Easy Shot kind of get it within the Rhythm he only played seven minutes so I’m excited

To see what he brings to the team um um but we’ll we’ll we’ll figure that part out as we go we’ll get more and more of an impression of him all right uh let’s talk about quickly tonight your lead score was quickly eight of 18 five of eight from

The three five of six from the free throw line five assist three rebounds one block 26 points and I think he left a lot of meat on the bone and what I mean by that is I thought there were time he was right in the lane and you

Bro drop that off and get them two for show and he’s he talked about wanting to show that his playmaking and I understand that I understand wanting to show your coach like look I a I’m not just someone that scores I can facilitate the ball too but when you got

When you got a burd in it when you got a bird in the hand don’t worry about the two that’s in the bush you know what I’m saying go and pick up them two and keep it moving I I feel like he left a lot on

A lot a lot that he could have got even more point but I can’t I can’t um I I can’t criticize how well this man played and um Pascal SE yakam still him when they need a bucket and and what have I said guys you follow the channel I said

Superstar is on Superstar because you could go to them you could go to them when I need that bucket you know what everything is stagnant ain’t nothing moving right I need somebody to break the ice right now that’s what your Superstar for tonight see I can filled

That role perfectly um there been like this four going conclusion that they just going to trade Pascal Pascal gone Pascal’s out of here I think Pascal look is I think he fit pretty well um tonight Pascal was in fou trouble so his minutes were limited and what you love most is

The team didn’t fall off a cliff the team didn’t fall off a cliff because Pascal got in foul trouble you see quickly said hold my B I got some RJ B said RJ Barrett say I I forced the action Scott the borne say hey don’t forget about me

Dog at Pascal when he was able to get back in and said let me get back in I’m do my thing I think they they got a much balanced team right now I think they they I think they was able to do the most they could um from a balanced perspective

Um with the trade I’m more I’m liking this trade more and more cuz it just look um Pascal gave you 24 Scotty gave you 20 Barrett gave you 14 quick quickly gave you 26 shuder gave you 16 just you see how it just feel like a everybody getting it because now you

Can’t lock in on Pascal you can’t say stop Pascal and and and and everything stopped you you stop Pascal now you got to deal with quickly you stop you go you go to double team quick got Pascal Scott oh don’t forget about those Scott buns out there you know what I’m saying

Huh and RJ you got RJ who just want to he want to force the action at all times anyway um he’s excited to be back home so it it just feel a lot more balanced and a lot more free and I I start to feel like they’re going to continue and

I could tell that just by the the postgame press conference um Darko want quickly to get a couple more a couple more he want him to finish those drives not just always to get out um Scotty Barnes my guy I got to talk about my guy Scotty um it do felt like

Towards the end of that game he kind of was like hey hold on hold on let me kind of force the action a little bit feel like he and he got the Fil A couple times um but it it did feel like he was like hey don’t forget about me it felt

Like with the new guys coming in these guys doing their thing putting up the points it kind of felt like Scott is is I want to say pressing but it feel like he’s trying to say hey hey you know let me make sure I establish my and you want

That you want competition you want competition in the games and in practice you want every iron sharpen Iron Man Iron sharpen Iron Dog um and then uh and then shudder now now some people love shudder some people hate shudder I I’m going to be honest I didn’t like shud that much down the

Stretch in this game um just because he is is who he I’ve been following him and that’s who he is sometime he can get red hot down the stretch sometime he can get colder than polar bear but so it’s it’s it’s it’s hit and miss um with him

Tonight I thought he played well overall just down stretch uh one a couple of those shots just were like wild and I was like hey hey we don’t we don’t need those um now the one thing I I got to be honest I I don’t like I and look look I

I don’t know I I don’t know much about Porter I don’t I really don’t but I don’t like him taking minutes from buet now somebody going to jump in the comments and they’re going to explain that to me and I’m going to hear you out

But I I kind of feel like bu is getting a little bit the short end of the stick here um so we’ll see how all that all that manifests itself but I kind I didn’t like that he only had 13 minutes and I feel like he deserved he was two

Of two he gave you four uh he gave you eight rebounds and 13 minutes and two assists come on man get him man some give him a little bit more time all right um what else I wanted to hit on what what else was very very key to me

Um SE yakum I want to go back to se yakum I think I think you going extended I think you extend him you get him his deal and huh give him the bag right give him the bag um you extend him and then you build around him and I think you you

Got something I I it just look different I I’m not going I’m not going to front this team look different but what I love the most man is when things start to get a little wonky you had somebody other than Pascal said give me the damn ball I’mma Force

The action which was RJ Barrett um now I he he kind of remind me of an anobi with them hands cuz he can lose the ball but you know they they’re not afraid to force the action it’s not a whole bunch of standing around it’s we’re going to force the action we’re

Going to drive we’re going to get in we’re going to drive we going to go we going to get into the hole and make it happen and that’s kind of what you felt with him going down the stretch and then um of course quickly and and I just it

Just felt like a much more balanced team right now um so um what’s they’re they’re 14 and and 20 now um if I’m looking at the standings I I’m not sure what they stand last time I checked they was 12th um I I still think they’re at the bottom

Of that of that um no they they’re yeah they’re 12 they’re 12 they’re literally a game out of a playin spot so as the team start to get better in jail more they got the Sacramento King coming up next and they start to jail more you

Start to say all right they went from a a no dive to now okay hold on your might can get into the play you get it get into the play Then maybe you can get out of the play and get into that six seed which I predicted not saying that’s

Going to happen guys I’m just saying the energy is different it feel like they got a a more balanced team now you’re getting double digits off your bench with with with shuder and I’m quite sure I’m quite sure they continue to fill this thing out you know everyone’s going

To get better and better and they get more of a like they said this whole road trip right now is just about building and getting to know each other as well as winning so um but all in all man you got I got to admit I’m impressed the

First two games I’m definitely impressed with quickly because I feel like tonight he was going more for his shot even though he could have done more um but all in all though man super super super super proud um still want still want Scotty to stop to kind of ease out the

Refs a little bit sometime he gets so caught up in arguing with the refs that it takes away from his um ability to get back or play his game and I I kind of I don’t like the him standing in the corner I need you in the action big

Homie um but other than that man ain’t much more I can say though congratulations to the rap two games in the road next game on the road in um in Sacramento against the Kings with that being said guys please like comment subscribe to the channel till next time you guys be great

  1. Totally agree with your pascal point! I think Raptors keep Siakam, he’s a calming presence and the bucket you need when things get stagnant. Also having him and Poetl balance the young talent we have

  2. I keep hearing on NY media side that they don't like RJs inconsistency. Honestly with Scottie shooting so good now, we need RJ to be another slasher. Only thing we need RJ to become now is a better passer

  3. I hope we keep Pascal. And I side with you on Chris Boucher losing minutes. Chris is a valuable player.

  4. Everyone wants to trade Siakam, i say keep him for now and see how it goes. I understand people wanting to build around Scottie but its hard for a team to win if they all consist of all young players. Look at the Pistons(even though they beat us) its hsrd for them to win even though they have alot of young talented players, they dont have vets to help them. Now look at the Rockets, they were all young players last season but since adding Fred and Brookes, they started to gain traction which kind of shows how vets helps a young team
