  1. They pretty much have to keep Battle on the roster now don't they?
    He seems like the exact type of guy the bench has been looking for.

  2. Bruno is HORRIBLE. I know we need size, but I'd rather play undersized (e.g. Mogbo) at the C than play Fernandez. He's gone for sure.

    Carton made no shots, but hitting FTs in the clutch – and after receiving the hardest foul I've ever seen short of a flagrant 2 – is an underrated skill.

    Poeltl had a great game today, and needs to go to a contender. He's wasted on the rebuilding Raps, and everyone knows it.

  3. Will always perfectly captures the emotions of a post game raptors fan. This is why Hello and Welcome is #1. Best raptors content. Best Canadian basketball podcast and it's not even close

  4. LETS GO BOYS!!! PLAYING TOGETHER! THE SMILES, THE EFFORT, THE TRUST. LET THEM BOYZ RUN!!!! LET'EM COOK!!!!
    but for real, very exciting. thanks for the coverage and the positive vibes.

  5. Will Lou is fired up and talking fast on this one! Scottie, Gradey, Lou are on their game tonight! If we are monitoring the best Raps games this season, we can tell just by the pace of Will Lou's react pods. 3x speed! let's get it!

  6. 46 points is 46 points but preseason is still preseason. Doesn't mean anything. The Raptors finished 4-0 last year in the preseason. Everything looked promising. Everyone was optimistic. Then they put up a 25-57 stinker of a season. Bottom third of the league in scoring. Bottom third of the league in defense. The Raptors have a lot of good pieces but we still don't know how they're all going to fit together.

  7. Dude stop saying "its just preseason" that last boston game had us feeling panicked and worried. Enjoy the win!!

  8. Expecting gradey to have consistent performances like that during the season lol. Doubt it.

  9. Scottie looks way better on his jumpers. Smoother, more fluid and not so machanical. If he can continue to improve om his pull up and off the dribble shooting, it'll be a game changer for him and the Raps.

  10. Battle is a keeper, he moves well without the ball, we need 3's, good size, and will get better on D, he at least tried. Carton is 905 bound, like him, impressed with the clutch free throws but we got PG's. Bruno could be great to have to give us some toughness, dirty work, bang with the bigs, we need an Oakley like player, and havent had since Ibaka? We could have a decent bench. I really like the compete level, that team played hard for that win. Ball is almost back, year 30, man im old, day 1 og.
