  1. RJ Barrett is great and only 23! only 1 year older than Scottie. but he’s endured like 10 times the slander.

  2. Raptorsthrowaway1

    That was a tough watch at times, we got out-tanked. Couple of quick observations :

    * RJ is a tank. Plays every possession with intensity whether against a contender or against bottom feeders like Charlotte. Scottie could learn a thing or two from that mentality and focus.

    * I don’t care about wins when rebuilding. But the effort and intensity is not there. We come out slow almost every night. We look under prepped. And its not because the trade deadline is tomorrow, its been a common theme the whole season.

    * Time to move on from him and I hope that we do. But I would have liked to see Boucher get a couple of mins. Tonight is possibly (likely?) his last night as a Raptor.

    * Dennis could really help a play off team. He has his flaws but he is a good ball handler and can put up some numbers in a bench unit. Im surprised there isnt more interest in him.

    * No mins for Nwora?

  3. Very balanced offensive game from the Raptors. 7 players in double digits and the highest scorer with 23 points.

    Random fact but the Hornets announcers mentioned the Raptors are 10-4 on Wednesdays lol.

  4. ZoroChopper10

    I feel bad for Boucher got no mins lol

    Anyways needed a win for morale sake

    Tomorrow will be fun

  5. Ugly comeback šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

    Feels good to be on the other side for once šŸ„“

  6. gamer15807

    Dick with 100/100/100 masterclass and +9 let’s goooooooo

  7. pocemon11

    Welp, if that was the last game we see of some of these guys, I’m glad it was a W, regardless of how ugly it was. Fine with tanking considering where we’re at, but some games still gotta matter to these guys.

  8. imbiczarre

    Scottieā€™s been really disappointing since he got promoted to be the franchise.

  9. Miles Bridges recording career high on women in sports night šŸ¤£

  10. JoshSran04

    Darko loves schroeder and bruce a little too much

  11. heat_fan_

    Good to win again

    Nice to get Jakob back

    Barrett has been a really good pick upĀ 

  12. FinalMalus

    If RJ’s a toxic asset, call me Britney Spears cause I’m addicted

  13. FallenLemur

    Poeltl with the +6 man just plays winning basketball.

    Happy Miles didn’t get the W on his career night.

  14. RJ is always joyous in his interviews win or lose. Reminds me of rookie Scottie interviews…

  15. justsomedudedammit

    See this is a glimpse of the BBQ future. Scottie will be good in the clutch but when Scotties not giving you clutch buckets you still have Barret and IQ there to get you up when the score is close in the last couple of minutes

  16. Frosty_Locksmith9799

    momentum switched after that Gradey 3.

  17. RJ was great on the offensive end tonight. He actually showed flashes of his playmaking on top of his aggressive downhill type basketball. BBQ Dick is a good start for the rebuild.

    Just wish Barnes could be at least half as aggressive as RJ is on offense lol. Dude is way too passive.

  18. Altruistic-Emu7152

    Did Nwora do something wrong how does his minutes get worst as we play lesser teamsšŸ¤¦šŸ¾

  19. Well, we won against the Hornets. Team barely had any energy, but RJ is great.

    See you all tomorrow when we get to see what our new roster for the next half of the season looks like

  20. Altruistic-Emu7152

    Add Dick to that, kid has been playing two way basketball looks like heā€™s getting better and he gets less minutes šŸ¤¦šŸ¾

  21. Want to see Gradey keep making a 3 a game atleast, hope he gets more mins after the deadline. I like how steady RJ is, stays focused and keeps attacking even when he starts out rough, some nice plays created for teammates aswell

  22. fivehoops

    Do you think they already have a deal in place for Boucher? I mean, it sure seems like itā€¦

  23. Synaptix30

    Gradey made a big bucket. Good to see his shot go in!

  24. spectacular_seamonke

    Shout-out to Jak, absolutely saved us with great positioning and clutch plays in the final 2 minutes

  25. Poeltl with some clutch moments in the fourth. The block and the tip in were nice.

  26. earlyearlgray

    Poeltl wonā€™t get enough credit for this win

  27. b3amfl3ot91

    Really think we need to look at our defensive coordinator this offseason. We’re just not ready on that end almost every game. It’s almost like the only thing they really plan is who’s guarding who.

  28. We might as well tank but they need a win or two sprinkled in there. Can’t let it get to Detroit levels
