Darko CALLS OUT Refs Once Again – This MUST be ADDRESSED | Toronto Raptors News

Folks this must be addressed because through all the trade reports through all the trade rumors that have been going on over the past weeks months for this Toronto Raptors team all the tanking Graphics that have popped up on different YouTube channels people calling for the Raptors to lose to

Maintain that first overall pick and the guy the reason that the Raptors probably won’t have their draft pick for this year if we win a few more games yaka purle with all that being said he has become criminally underrated he’s just a guy that is an elite Center in today’s

NBA he does his job he rebounds well he plays strong defense and one stat that gets overlooked which might have the tanking the people rooting for the tank rooting for the losses rooting for us to pick up that first round pick I’m not saying you’re wrong for hoping that but

Yaka purle might spoil that party because frankly looking at the stats when he and the player that has frankly been the best player for the Toronto Raptors since the OG an anobi trade went down down when he and RJ Barrett are out there on the court together the Raptors

Are 5-2 and they’ve won some nice games now obviously Pascal was on uh the team for a lot of those wins and the team looked different the Ross looked different it’s a handful of games but when yakob hurdles out there on the court the Raptors have an elite

Defensive presence you know the scoring gets picked up with RJ out there obviously Scotty is still Elite but he’s not been playing to the standards he set for himself early in the season but obviously now the defense is all focused on him so he’s adjusting to be a number

One guy but yaka purle is a guy that has a serious impact on winning for this Raptor’s group and specifically when he’s healthy because he clearly wasn’t uh in he had a little rust on him you know when he first came back against the Houston Rockets last week but yaka purto

Give this man his flower so we’re going to discuss him as well as darkov rakovic speaking on the referee speaking about Scotty barns not getting the respect he deserves in the pain I’ll discuss whether or not I agree with it particularly tonight regarding Scotty Barnes but before we dive into that

Folks again over 56% of our viewers are not subscribed to the channel and we want to keep you up to date with all the latest Toronto Raptor news game reacts all that type of stuff so keep it lock to Raptor digest so we can deliver you

All the latest Toronto Raptor news but I already kind of addressed gave yaka purle flowers there in the long winded intro but yaka purle tonight against the Houston Rockets against shenon kept this man who’s been playing like a monster been playing like an Allstar beening playing like the next jic to seven

Points and seven rebounds three of eight shooting you only play 21 minutes and uh you know yaka purle just did his thing out there when they were matched up out there on the court together so that was something that was really cool to see and uh he himself 16 points 12 rebounds

Two assists three steals six blocks for yaka purle four turnovers Force the ball a little bit but 7-Eleven from the field yako purle is a guy that again has just be become underrated by the fan base because we all know that it may have been a mistake for the Toronto Raptors

We’ll see how everything shakes out it’s not until that pick actually ends up translating and we’ll see if it was a good pick how this draft goes it’s going to be five years down the line before we can really evaluate whether or not this is the right deal or wrong deal

But it didn’t look like as much of a home run right now as that trade may have looked a year ago but yaka purle with all that said first round draft pick sunk costs all that said yaka purto is still an elite Center in the NBA he

Does a lot for the stona Raptors team again five- two when he and RJ bar are out there on the court together I’m happy to have yaka purle on this team for the Long Haul and I’ve said it here maybe if the Toronto Raptors and there were some rumors some talk and things

Like this I made my voice on the Raptors are trying to tank they need to get rid of yakap perto if they wanted to get that pick to convey for this season it makes sense to deal away yaka Perle at this year’s trade deadline go for the draft capital and things along those

Lines because I don’t think we’re going to keep our pick if yaka perto is out here playing healthy playing night in night out I just don’t think that’s going to be the case I think we’re going to be too good are we going to be you know making a deep playoff run or

Anything like that no that might be a little bit far definitely farfetched I’m hoping for that the Homer and me is hoping for that but if the aaur in the lineup we’re not catching the Grizzlies who are now on an extreme losing streak here now at this

Point we’re not catching the Hornets the Blazers or any of those really bad teams and the Detroit Pistons San Antonio Spurs or anything like that we aren’t going to be that bad we’re going to get some sneaky wins and tonight was again ugly it wasn’t that great down the

Stretch we blew a 20-point lead they brought it back and all that type of stuff but with yaka purto on this team we are not going full out tank that Raptor down there is not completely dead now are we good enough to make a push in the Eastern Conference playoffs I don’t

Want to get I don’t want to build up my hopes a little bit too much but we aren’t that bad with yaka on this team that’s something I’ve I’ve maintained and uh the only reason I’ve considered you know like for the pro tankers out there that wanted us to proper lose

Games without a center you know scor teams can properly rack up some LS but with RJ Barrett Emanuel quickly obviously Scotty barns who’s now the number one option and he is going to get some heat he is going to get some hate I already see people in our comment

Section turning on Scotty Barnes you know two weeks into him being the number one option on this team it takes growth paint growing paints to grow into that position Scotty Barnes is going to look bad on some nights he’s an emotional player so he’s going to be frustrated on

Some nights that’s just how it goes do we have to be out here delusional and say oh Scotty Barnes is the second coming and this that and whatever no he’s not LeBron he’s not something like that he’s not a superstar just yet can he grow into that sure yes 100% but he’s

Not there yet we shouldn’t expect him to be there yet we should expect Growing Pains patience with Scotty Burns as the number one option and then a year from now if there’s still the lack of energy on Knights like this the passiveness down at the end of games then we should

Be more concerned but these reps these games like we see here tonight where he gets the ball poke loose where he’s missing shots under the rim and Darko rakovic has to call out you know the referees at the end of the game he said this following post game I felt there

Should be a little bit more respect there should be a little respect level for him and give him a couple more calls rakovich in a gentle way saying Scotty Barnes deserved a few more foul calls on the stretch he’s definitely getting poked he’s still a young player in the

NBA we saw this with DeMar rosen especially when he was a younger guy he was always getting fired up always getting teased never getting any calls when he was sort of again the Raptors were worse then might be tough to say because the Raptors haven’t been that

Great especially over the past you know three weeks or so but the Raptors were worse than demaro Rosen probably wasn’t the player Scotty barnes’s you know at this moment in time he wasn’t getting any calls down that that time if you recall that sort of stretch and he grew

Out of it he matured he became a number one option on a team that was the top of the Eastern Conference again was it a playoff picturesque team we made a Conference Finals with demaro rose and Kyle lry the lead guys in the squad you know we made some playoff runs with that

Group so if demard Rosen could develop to that area especially where Scotty Barnes has that two-way capability has that passing Vision has everything on top of it the three-point spacing we’re seeing now from Scotty barns there’s no reason we should be concerned or extremely worried with Scotty barns

Having another little bit of a stinker not a you know shooting wise definitely a stinker four of a 16 from the field 0 of three from behind the three-point line only 13 points but 10 rebounds eight assists two steals two blocks he’s still doing everything out out there on

The court stop turning on this guy stop having such extreme opinion like that that he’s you know again we love getting fired up in these post games and hyping it all up and I I lean into it when we’re winning I’ll call Scotty Barnes you know this that whatever but

Realistically again coming from the biggest Homer there is out there when he’s having a bad game don’t just turn on especially with this age do what we did to Pascal seak by we I mean the fan base as a whole do what we did to Fred Van vet who tonight got a

Standing ovation didn’t play for the some Rockets tonight but you know got a lot of credit there gave a you know love love me some Fred always appreciate Fred vanet that Championship run always always love for the former Toronto Raptors but man don’t turn on Scotty

Barns that’s just my take that’s my call to action for people out here now at this point but Raptors got a pretty pretty solid win in this one again it looked really good for you know everything with the exception of the fourth quarter really you know gritty

Dick two five from the field you know two five from the three-point line he’s getting some shots this release looks a little bit quicker he looks more confident and again the one thing about Bruce Brown that I think some people will say and the biggest hampering on

This sort of trade that ended up going down is Bruce Brown 22 minutes in this one again Bruce Brown might be that guy for the Toronto Raptors in the future he might be a piece that makes sense long term you know depending on how the roster shakes up because again we have

Flexibility to sort of make adjustments for this team but as currently constructed Bruce Brown doesn’t really make a whole ton of sense for this group it’s it’s reasonable to expect him to get traded all the things we discussed leaning into the trade deadline but the biggest sort of concern the reason why

We dealt away Dennis shooter it’s because minutes availability for the young guys for the other wings that play similar positions to Bruce Brown and now you know next game we’re going to have uh aaji as well as uh Kelly oen into the lineups obviously baji actually plays

That position so you know it’s Jordan War minutes only got seven minutes in this game tonight again how much potential he’s 25 you know are we super worried about war but I am worried about aaji getting some s run osai I want to see him actually get some run and gry

Dick 20 minutes again had some moments knocked down a couple shots was fouled and stuff you know there’s a lot of minutes taken away from guys that have actually been playing well so it’s not like we’re tanking playing the younger guys in development and things but there’s just minutes being taken away

From the players that were developing now an injury happens then there’s zero concerns with that so maybe it’s not that much of a worry in my brain but gry dick I’d like to see some run but I don’t want to see one of our younger players are are guys that could

Potentially be future cornerstones if they get some sort of development here at the second half of the season I don’t want to see that limited by Bruce Brown of the future but again Bruce had a really Sol first half sold a brutal layup in the fourth quarter of this one

But other than that you know looked uh looked pretty solid but I mean Toronto Raptors ugly sort of win it was a it was a good win for the first three quarters and then the fourth quarter was kind of a mess Dylan Brooks still shocked how uh

He like 20 points in this game he looks horrible and possessions and then just hits the clutchest baskets on planet Earth one of the weirdest players I’ve ever seen watching him and obviously I root for him for Team Canada I love the villains out there I love the heels of

The NBA so I can uh I can appreciate Dylan Brooks I I’m not a guy that’s anti Dylan Brooks by any means but I can see why he annoys the entire yeah I’m only annoyed by him when he’s playing the Toronto Raptors but I still love all our

Canadian steep down but folks let me know what you guys think about this game subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already anyways I’m signing out cheers
