    I liked that 4th from Scottie. Less jacking 3’s and being more assertive in the paint

  2. TeamZiggler

    We’re such an annoying team to play lol.

  3. AHImusic

    We are playing a whole season, not just a game. This team has grit. Still as inconsistent as every Raptors team over the past years, but there’s something special here!!

  4. crumpledbrouhaha

    Tell me Siakam is playing on Sunday and I’ll be ok

  5. GrimKaiker

    Raptors can hang with the best teams, that’s my best take away from this game.

    Anyone who slanders OG is an idiot. I don’t wanna fucking hear it. You respond to me with OG slander you’re getting blocked

  7. ConsciencelessCat

    I vote the Raptors never play another Friday night again. Between tonight’s and the Philly game….man

    In a night where no one could really hit a shot other than Pascal and OG, Scottie needed to be more aggressive and attack.

  9. Saw someone comment in the game thread about fouling Finney Smith, what a missed chance that was. Dudes shooting 33% from FT 💀

    No shame in losing to Luka. Praying for Pascal.

  11. SexySatan69

    Scottie’s first career triple double leading an entertaining comeback? I’ll take it.

  12. jjkiller26

    I feel like this was the same as every other game against the mavs. The “double the star” gameplay simply does not work against Luka. He makes the right pass everytime and the mavs surround him with the shooters that can capitalize. You have OG, yet you assign Scottie on Luka for some reason? Why not just play him straight up with OG guarding and live with the results?

    The siakam injury sucks so much. Not only does it ruin his superstar momentum he was on this year but it might take him a while to comeback from. His last injury he came back looking less explosive and wasn’t really himself until a few months after. If that happens again this year it could really put a dent into the season.

    Scottie in the 4th was great, but also what makes him frustrating lol. Like why did he wait that long to flip the switch and play aggressive? Just something he needs to work on in his game.

    Time for our supposed depth to show itself.

    OG and Boucher were excellent all night. Pascal was good, hope he’s okay.

    Scottie was invisible for 3 quarters and spectacular in the 4th.

    GTJ was invisible all night and this is one of the biggest problems with Gary. If he’s not giving you buckets, he’s more or less invisible.

    The fact we only lost by one without FVV and Pascal in the 4th may be just as impressive as a W tonight. It sucks to lose but I’m happy given the circumstances

    Scottie Barnes point god games coming up with Freddy and Pascal out.

  17. nanobot001

    People wondering about minutes distribution? Injuries will always solve this dilemma.

    Hopefully Pascal isn’t off long and Fred’s back warms up for the Bulls.

  18. NorthernViews

    Annoying, but we move. Luka did his thing and we lost Pascal in the last bit which didn’t help. Let’s win the next one, going 6-4 for our first ten wouldn’t be bad.

  19. Wow, big “what if” with the OG foul on Luka. Could have been a completely different outcome.

  20. theorganicpotatoes

    Scottie Barnes triple double and a 1 point loss missing FVV and Siakam for the 4th quarter. We take those.

  21. I’d like to see a lineup with all three of Fred, Pascal, and Scottie playing like Fred and Pascal are out.

  22. PhileinS

    hope P is ok. Man Scottie gotta play with that aggression more often he was insane

  23. everything_raptors

    Scottie got his first triple double so there’s that

  24. InfernoHax

    This was a loss that I can proud of. 100% effort from all the guys even with Siakam going out in the third we fought back and almost stole the game. GG Mavs Luka is my pick for MVP

  25. Charming-Victory3337

    OG’s foul on Luka during a one possession game was the nail in the coffin. we’re lucky he missed one.

  26. Scottie can’t keep sitting around chucking 3s till the game is pretty much out of reach. It’s putting us at a massive disadvantage when he’s so timid, his defender just clogs the paint for Pascal.

  27. yaboydrew7

    This one hurts. Hope Pascal is okay, hope Fred comes back soon. Onto the next one

  28. Dimedropper18

    OG needs to be on doncic a lot more. Nurse very stubbornly kept putting Scottie on him and then sending double teaming constantly. That doesn’t work on a playmaker as good as doncic.

    Nurse wasted OG’s 1v1 defense this game. You can put OG on doncic 1v1 and he will make doncic have to work for everything without needing double teams. Just a misuse of OG’s defense this game.

  29. Responsible_Chain551

    The 4Q Scottie is complete different player we missed for whole game
