Raptors vs Pacers Game 58 (PIZZA PARTY!!!!) (February 26th, 2024)
Three consecutive wins for the Toronto Raptors they have finally done it it’s a pizza party for Darko holy smokes they finally do it first time the Raptors have won th rosen’s late March of last season yeah it’s taking a while but they’re here as they beat Pascal cakam
And the Indiana Pacers 130 to 1222 in Indiana before we go any further Raptor fans I’m going continue to reiterate it we are literally a 100 followers away on Tik Tok for hitting that 1,000 so I can start going live during games again wouldn’t this have been a
Great time a great game to watch everybody collectively enjoying the game be a lot of fun link is down below or to Sports Talk on Tik Tok so we can get that thing rolling about 100 followers away so jacked up to get that thing started so we can see what uh we can
Have some fun with it we can see what up all right but let’s break down this game because the Raptors and people who are in tank City or Tank Nation whatever you call they’re lost they are lost right now because the Raptors have won three straight they’re 22 and 36 it ain’t
Great it’s not sugar Cod not still not great however what this win does for me because I’m on team convey the pick well obviously any win helps that second of all you own the Pacers pick okay so with the Pacers losing to the Raptors tonight that now let me go to the conference
Standings uh that gives them their 26th loss and the Miami Heat who are right now the seven seed in the playin have 25 losses if Indiana gets in the playin things can get interesting for the Raptors and that pick it won’t be all that bad now again it’s a lots of ball
To play but the Raptors control that distance a double Wy for me plus we talk about wins and lessons yes today was a mixture of both you won and there were tons of lessons tonight first things first not only is Darko getting pizza or whatever the hell he’s getting for everybody on the
Team he coached an outstanding game today no one’s no one talks about it right everyone rips on the coach when things aren’t going well but you got to talk about when things are going very well every single time today that the Pacers made a run it was answered by a Darko timeout led
By a run or at least cooling down their run of by the Toronto Raptors it was brilliant it was awesome every time and I’m not saying you know they had a massive run they call a timeout obvious one no Raptors are up 12 they cut it to eight boom timeout shut this thing
Down and it was awesome I loved his rotations today great coaching job obviously the the The Challenge on IQ blocking OB to it in the corner you know chose to challenge that after IQ was pretty damn sure it was a blocked shot albeit they look at the review 25 seconds left you
Take a chance right but either way he cause a challenge and they overturn it and that pretty much called curtains on the game so great job from Darko let’s break down this game as a whole though even though we’re three minutes in already first quarter very back and forth hence
Why 30 to 28 is the final score after one quarter tons of lead changes in this game are really entertaining basketball game from start to finish both teams made little runs here little runs there but it was back and forth action all night long Raptors win the second
Quarter 31-28 and they’re up by five at halftime now lots of ball to play five-point game in this modern day NBA is nothing and in the third quarter right gets a little right they closed the quarter really strong and that was unfortunate for the Raptors you needed
To close that third quarter strong they did not you lose the quarter by two you’re only up by three at the end of three lots of basketball to play and they did an outstanding job in the fourth quarter I’m proud of these guys we talk about the late game offense
The Raptors getting a little shaky and what did we see today well you saw a lot of IQ and Scotty pick and roll late in the game and it got a little stuck right things weren’t going well what does Darko do timeout resets the offense I I just thought it was an
Outstanding game for Darko you know I think he really deserved this win the team played outstanding don’t get me wrong but I thought he coached probably one of his best games as a raptor I’m just going to put that out there cuz in the fourth quarter the Raptors dropped a 40 piece
They dropped a 40 piece and they win the fourth quarter by 540 to 35 and they win by 8 130 to 122 they shot the three great 43% about about I’ll be Shad out Grady you know Grady and um and IQ were the main Reas reason that that number looks fantastic
But 55% from the field you knew you were going to going to be able to score on Indiana is just what were you going to be able to defend enough now other than Benedict Maan I thought they did a great job where’s Pascal seak because he was
Dominating at halftime 279 and six seot 11 to 22 Yeah he was good three of eight from three I’ll beat a lot of those threes I think all three were in the first half but they did a great job Halle Burton man he must still be hurt
Because dude nine points no boards seven assists two of 11 from the field one of six from three that one he made was probably one of the most wide open threes you can get it was painful for uh for Tyrese halber but who cares right now we’re talking Raptor basketball all
Right now let’s get to these player stats because there’s a lot I want to talk about when it comes to them and then we’ll wrap it up after that all right let’s start with Scotty B now so much talk heading into the allstar break you know he looks kind of
Checked out all this stuff well since he’s come back from the All-Star break Scotty against uh Brooklyn 18 12 and three shot 7 to 13 was really really good three Steals and a block was awesome right Atlanta 25 and 10 dimes awesome eight of 13 shooting four of
Four from the line awesome stuff there today 21 points 12 boards 12 assists five blocks in the game he was outstanding today Scotty Barnes took that stuff personally later in at the end of the first first half of the Season went to the All-Star Game realized that he
Deserves to be there and is like oh I’m actually an Allstar let’s make it happen and he since he’s come back he has been outstanding not forcing the shot sure he shot eight of 18 today and 0 of3 from distance which is really trailed off for
Him but five of five from the line five blocks in the game had 12 rebounds 12 dimes brilliant job from Scotty RJ due to is a menace like how many Big Shots did he hit late for us the big time three when you’re up six with like
Four minutes ago he to put you up nine just a massive game for RJ 24 points two rebounds five assists 11 of 16 from the field weird 0 of three from the free throw line but two of three from distance and I believe at least one
Of them was that big time in the fourth quarter plus 13 for RJ yaka purle okay we all just got to hope and pray cuz that’s the same damn ankle that he Li he missed time with earlier he goes down in the third quarter doesn’t come back and he was
Dominating 21 minutes he had 15 points 10 rebounds four assists outstanding but he left for the game in injury seven to 10 from the field had a block in the game plus 10 he was awesome IQ man his finishing at The Rim today was significantly better than what we’ve
Seen recently or L since he’s been a raptor and also in his bag that transition three I think he hit at least two of them today maybe even maybe three 196 and2 for for IQ 8 of 16 from the field three of seven from three two
Steals and one block and it was that big denial they had to review it and overturn it in the corner against Obby toppen D got up in against Obi toppen and blocked that shot massive job for IQ did a four turn turn overs in the game
But hey plus 15 in the floor he was he was awesome uh Gary 11 points five boards couple assists five of 12 from the field one of six from three so struggled there today for Gary And Off the Bench Kelly o lenck is he’s just a
Sound vet he really is you knew he was going to fit the offense well when he got traded over here seven points couple boards five assists uh oh I don’t know why it flipped to Indiana here thank you two of four from the field two of four from the
Line one of two from three a steel in the game was an even player in 23 minutes and when yakob wasn’t able to be out there for the fourth quarter he was love it Grady dick and O abaji the two young bench guys were were awesome tonight again
Back to back games for oai who’s been awesome because I think in the last game what did he have like 14 didn’t he in the last one yeah 14 points didn’t shoot as well today but 14 points four boards in in that game today only 19 minutes 13
Points two rebounds two assists four 47 from the field perfect four4 from the line one of two from three in the game for o and were they plus players today he was a plus nine well he was out on the floor and Grady dick is Mr automatic
From distance this dude has fully turned around his year it is remarkable to witness 18 points five boards two dimes seven of nine from the field a perfect four of four from three and I saw on Twitter X that is the first time since 20 7 that a Toronto Raptor player has
Shot perfect four well a perfect from three when taking at least four shots now it’s very weird stat but there you go Grady’s been awesome he had a steal in the game as well and a plus three on the floor Grady dick or was no I think
He was a plus eight wasn’t he no he plus three cuz his game we’ve now learned is not just chucking up threes he’s very confident very good at making those but the pump fake getting to the Lane and his finishing ability at The Rim is damn
Good so Grady is really coming into his Zone and I’m just very impressed everyone was ripping this pick what a month ago two months ago and now we’re thinking dude should have drafted higher than us Grady dick a mutant today yet again back to back 18o performances for him
Now the Raptors next contest is they look to some somehow make this a four fourth straight dub what it was Unthinkable the earlier on in the year they face the Dallas Mavericks though right 33 and 24 on the year of the Dallas Mavericks are seven and three in
Their last 10 they just lost to this Indiana Pacers team yesterday but they come to Toronto 7:30 on Wednesday and the Raptors look to continue their Mojo right now they’re 3 and0 after the All-Star break they look to make it four on Wednesday night all right so you know what guys that is

Just like the other Indiana game months ago it was INTENSE! Also Darko doesn't want Pineapple on the pizza lol

Mavs will be on a b2b when they play the Raps. Maybe they rest some guys?
Loved what I saw today from the guys!!! I’ll be at the game Wednesday! #wethenorth
darkos influence on this offence has gone understated..
there was a graphic from bball index a few weeks ago that showed the raps were top 5 in shot quality (how wide open are your shots) at the rim, in the midrange, from 3, in transition AND in the half court..
it’s just that in some of those areas we haven’t been able to knock down shots efficiently.. but open looks are being generated
Let’s collab Recsolo here thanks
Siakam who? Fred who? NN who?
We never needed them to get back to winning basketball.
Were on the upward pizza trend! 🍕
