This Man is RESILIENT…

This Man is RESILIENT…

This man is resilient Grady dick has been a guy that’s been given an elevated role with all the injuries and all the trades that have made to the Toronto Raptors and he stepped up initially but there’s no hiding it there’s no sort of beating around the bush he struggled a

Little bit as of late he hasn’t been playing the greatest dark rakovich is speaking about it heck even Josh lomberg gave a little report yesterday saying a very rough few games for Grady dick after a productive stretch starter minutes versus some very good and physical teams it’s taking a toll he’ll

Be better in the long run for it but the these are some valuable reps to learn and grow but it’s not always easy to keep things in perspective in the moment and a lot of raptors fans have been struggling to keep that in perspective now I’ve refused to come out here and

Just bash on him after a few games a few bad games he’s hit a bit of a rookie wall it’s completely normal for a 20-year-old guy but in a similar vein that people were kind of writing him off at the beginning of the Season especially with his poor performance in

The g-league and he was able to turn things around really Step Up prove why he was that lottery pick for the Toronto Raptors his last stretch of games again he struggled a little bit as of late but last night against the League’s maybe I was about to say best team potentially

Best team you know the nuggets and Celtics are also in contention there for that sort of title but against the Oklahoma City Thunder who are an elite roster Grady Dick came out stepped up heard all the criticism heard everything that was said and he’s not shrinking in

The moment he’s not like oh I’m looking to the Future I’m looking to next season and seeing how things grow and Blossom there he’s taking everything in stride and taking this elevated opportunity he has to close out the season and even if he’s not playing great every single

Night he is hustling he is bringing the effort every single game and last night it showed up into some high productive basketball I mean Grady dick in last night’s performance against the Oklahoma City Thunder 21 points five assists or five rebounds one assists one steal

Eight of 15 from the field and hit four of seven from the three-point line just an efficient game with the exception of his free throws against Oklahoma City Thunder came out blazing was really hot in the first quarter of that game and just made me really proud is just

Watching a Toronto Raptor sort of young guy that’s been taking all the criticism taking all the heat lately he’s a guy that’s easy to sort of meme on and hate on you know given his last name given his I want to say goof like funny personality out there on Tik Tok and

Stuff people love to sort of make memes about those types of guys and they almost take it as that first versus the actual basketball player but the thing about it doesn’t matter to Grady dick you know all the goof all that other stuff you know the memes aside he comes

Out and he brings it every single night every single game he’s out there on the court and even if he’s struggling with his jump shot which is obviously his bread and butter he comes out with the right mindset he’s never faced he’s always confident to take his shots he

Doesn’t get Matt Thomas IIs where you know he catches it around the three-point line he missed his first one so he’s just not going to take another one for the rest of the game you know he’s been struggling the last couple games so he’s just going to try to pass

A little bit more Grady dick is confident enough to fire up that basketball to put the ball on the floor and make some drives to Make Some Cuts to finish at the basket and that resiliency from a guy that’s 20 years old indicates to me that this man is

Going to have a very very impressive NBA career that’s going to be on an upswing because if you keep doing things the right way you keep playing at that type of level then you’re just going to be a dude that gets better through the thick through the thin the Raptors are giving

Him the opportunity to work through some mistakes that also helps there now and the fact that he’s coming at it from the right approach has me extremely excited did so shout out to Grady dick that was a that was a big sort of moment big sort of game from him last night impressive

Way to close out this uh impressive start closed out the season because the game against the Thunder again the Raptors did lose by about 20 points but it was a lot better than some of these sort of tanking losses have been as of late because as we all know the Raptors

On a niname losing streak right now but last night’s loss was an especially a win because the Memphis Grizzlies they ended up winning a game so the Raptors end up getting a game on the grizzly so they are now officially fully in that six sort of position which is very

Encouraging a very increased odds to keep that draft pick so I am pumped I am hyped to see that sort of happen I’m praying again the Portland Trailblazers win some games because even with the roster that we have currently running out there now we don’t last night we

Didn’t have obviously RJ Barrett Scotty Barn yaka purto Chris bue also Emanuel quickly was out of this lineup too so the lineups were running they’re just not going to win a ton of games the Raptors have lost nine straight even with the encouraging performances I mean

From Grady dick you know JFL had a decent sort of game in the starting lineup you know baji still needs to hit some shots but I like what he’s doing out there on the defensive end Bruce Brown I’m just praying he gets a few more stats so the the ability to trade

Him is a little bit higher come NBA draft day and then Kelly oen his mom was also out there giving interviews and uh wearing an Alvin Williams jersey in last night’s game he’s he’s looking like a dude had a lot of turnovers he’s being asked to play that sort of Scotty Barnes

Role now at the forward so I guess he’s center now position for this team run through some of the offense through him had a bunch of turnovers in this game but still it’s 16 points six rebounds five assists I’m not worried about Kelly o lenck he’s been asked to do a little

Bit too much here now at this point and he’s still playing very very solid for this team so the starters again not any crazy takeaways and a 20-point blowout loss Jordan War continues to get Buckets for this Toronto Raptors team Off the Bench you know 12 points at three

Turnovers but four uh four rebounds two assists had some good stuff to see jonte Porter shockingly had eight assists in last night’s game his playmaking you know and um three turnovers himself so the Raptors are trying to run a lot more stuff just more actions through their

Big man and you know Perle is also a guy that can do it so I’m I’d be more encouraged with pearl doing it Kelly oin on most nights pretty good at you know not being a turnover machine but still being able to facilitate but cool to see

Jonte Porters cool to see Kelly L having some of the offense run through him even if it’s not working out perfectly right now but jontay Porter is a guy that I think will be a a main stay on this Raptor’s roster I think he will be on

This team in the future and people are earning their spots every given game you’re not sure what’s going to happen for one or the other guys but I was happy with jonte Porter jamas Ramsey still playing solid defense not again the we’re aren’t getting crazy impressive performances from anyone

Unless your name is Garrett Temple because Garrett Temple at like what 47 years old I think he’s actually 38 but in his 100th NBA season Garett Temple out here cooking in 18 minutes of action at eight points plus 10 for this game you know two steals two assists two

Rebounds I mean what are we building around Scotty Barnes for folks let’s let’s give Garrett Temple the Reigns let’s give him the keys to the team and uh you he’s a cool evet to have on this roster and Grange and some people the Raptors beat reporters have said won’t

Be shocked if Carro temples around the team for you know a longer period of time just as a veteran presence that can tell the younger guys how to do play the game the right way and he’s still a guy that can space the Flor be a comp NBA

Player so the Raptors go back to I’m not going to say contending for a championship by any means next season but try to make that push for you know playoff spot a playin spot next season having a vet like air Temple to you know just keep things Rock and keep a winning

Culture and still be a capable sort of playing presence you know on the Deep bench I’m cool with it you know the league minimum not uh not eating up too much of your salary cap so I don’t know the Raptors we had a positive with the Memphis Grizzlies winning the Raptors

Are losing again the tank is in full effect here now at this point I we play the Wizards I believe tonight so maybe the Raptors will get a win again we want to keep that sort of push keep the pressure on the Blazers keep the pressure on the Grizzlies to you know

Continue our take to continue to maximize the potential that we get that draft pick so not sure who I’m rooting for in these games but I’m rooting for these Raptors players to play well to have some big moments to have some big games in this one so nice to see gry

Dick overcome all the sort of trash that was being talked about him sort of lately so happy to see him play well but folks you guys the best make this far subscribe to the channel if you guys haven’t already and uh you know let’s keep it locked to the to the Toronto

Raptors as we end off this here I’m sided up cheers
