When Scottie coasts on defense, it now suddenly stands out as the exception on the floor. It forces him to re-dedicate. The overall effect of trading for Shead and Davion has been seismic.
The Rush Hour 2 visor is a great fit for Will Lou.

My takeaway from the pre-season is that the Raptors will be much better than the Toronto media thinks.
Agreed with all 8 points. Watchable is a good description.
Can we cut back on the promo spots a bit? 😊
That's what she shed.
Another classic from stevenlebron!
Lets be honest, they've barely been watchable since Tampa

Are they making an income via podcast vs sportsnet? We all need a paycheck
👍
the main takeaway is that the NBA is washed.. Olympics & FIBA are more entertaining and half the league doesn't show up until playoffs… On court product has gotten worse every year since the bubble 😂
Gradey " Big Dill" Dick
Lag for Flagg
LET THE BOYZ RUN!!!! kinda disgusted by all the "tank for cooper" because realistically thats the worst thing you could do to this young core. throwing their confidence in to the bin, so you can re-rebuild around Cooper. grass is always greener on the other side if you never take care of your own lawn. let the boys run, let them try, let them fail together and grow together for this season. they deserve the chance. jerome on buckets and tea iz my hottie highlight of the week. blah blaH blah engagement yadda yadda algorithm. welcome, subscribe and like , hello!
I have a suggestion for you guys.
Get Jerome or Will to set up a good 4k camera for post-game media availability.
People want to see the post game interviews that Yahoo Sports Canada used to provide very quickly after games. It seems like the official Raptors channel doesn't post them until the next morning.
It'll help draw more Raptors fans to your channel.
Im a die hard Raps fan.
I DON'T WANT THEM to be good this year. Be patient fan one last year. If we don't tank now, we'll end up in the 6-10th range in the East for years to come.
Gradey – aka The Big Pickle – Dick’s confidence is off the charts thus far! He looks like a bonafide starter in the rotation, and is going to prove to be a challenge to guard the way he cuts and runs all over the court.
I think i need those Coors lights cans.. good job Coors, support our boys!
1 takeaway: Scottie is HIM. When y'all gonna apologize for the slander you pandered about him for so long?
Dick is looking fantastic, I hope he keeps the confidence and skill variety to start the real games. While Mogbo fills a position of need, I'm going to have a tough time not comparing him to everyone drafted further down the 2nd round. Shead is great but he's likely going to be behind Mitchell with less skill and experience.
