Screw NBA rules, sign Poeltl long term this month 😁. This guy is what the Raps has been missing since Ibaka and Gasol left. So much options now with him on the floor. Go Raps🏀🏀🏀🏀
The announcer for Raptor is bad, he just yell his guts out to exaggerate an ordinary play. Fast forward to the near end just to find out the final score.
I NEVER WANNA ANOTHER WORD ABOUT THIS AMAZING TRADE EVER RAPTORS GM GREAT F##KING TRADE
Masha Allah is Love.God blesss.
Jakob is a big different Damm

Having Jakob back on the team is going to make Pascal play a more efficient game too.
I went to the game, best experience ever
Being called a conspiracy theorist is a Badge of honor
dame dolla 34 points 8/14 from 3point arc 11/15
What a game for Jakob 30 Points 9 Reb 6 BLK 88% FG Just the 3rd player in NBA history to have 30 Points with 85% Shooting joining Klay Thompson and David Robinson
Bruh idiots really said stuff like Poeltl wasn’t a good enough trade and brother drops 30 in a menace on the boards and finally gives us a strong centre. Like we don’t need the best centre in the world we just need a good one. And the raptors have a good team.

I guess we are not tanking then, very well forward to a playoff spot
Wow Jakob! This is what the Raps have missed – a 7 foot center that can snag rebounds and clean up the glass. Orlando always comes to play in every series against Toronto, so this was an impressive win. Getting that chemistry cooking before the All-Star week. Keep it rolling!
Poeltl is a good trade for the Raptors. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Raptors will make the playoffs now that they have a true center in Poeltl!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Poeltl was the one guy we needed on our team
Glad to see Fultz game is contrinuing to progress good for him…..Good Game Raptors
7:19 ohhhh okay that was low key crazy… and he knew it post
Man, what a dish by Barnes. Really would like to see him handle and initiate offense more. That lightning no look pass is so Lebron 9:07
Hard fought win…
The Raptors finally got the T-Rex
We need to get another big so Jacob can rest and not get injured.
Poetl making everything easier for the raps 🙌 give him more time he'll get better
Where are all of these geniuses who were saying tear it down, full tank, questioning the Jak pickup, Masai is washed, trade the starters for a rack of basketballs and all the other dumb nonsense. Where y’all at? 😂
I'd take 15 assist Freddy than 30pts Freddy!
poeltl really stealing my heart. what a great readdition to the squad :”)
poeltl power!, man, and this is with o.g and trent out
Magic going to be a problem in 2 years love there defense and length
Raptors 7 guys over 10 pts
Poetl 30 pts 9 reb 2 ast 15-17 Fg
Achiuwa 11 pts 13 reb
Pascal 26 pts 4 reb 6 ast
Fred 10 pts 15 ast was dishing and swishing
Raptors should be so much better then 28-31
7:21 did Bol just dribble over 6'9" Siakam?
So much fun watching what Jak can unlock for this team. I too was insanely frustrated for long stretches this year but here’s the thing, we had good players this whole time, it’s just we couldn’t generate advantage situations easily because of the extreme personnel mismatches. So it made the flow that much more painful and created all this isoball because there’s nowhere else to go other than guys needing to go into their bag.
I couldn’t believe the negativity among some fans, I know it’s just frustration but it’s such a downer. There is no such thing as “just” tanking – when you embrace the tank your culture goes in the dump, guys regress and lose their winning habits, young guys don’t develop the right way etc. You can do a one-year “tank” only if there’s a clear story, like everyone was injured or the COVID thing, I mean the Raps did that and got Barnes in the lottery but it’s kind of a one-off thing that you have to frame as a total anomaly. Otherwise you compete and develop your guys. The only other time you blow it up is when the talent is so thin that truly the long-run best case scenario is being a FR exit. But we are not close to there.
By the way, what is so bad about finishing the year around .500, so as long as you have a bright future? The guys will develop and improve by playing competitive ball, and btw plenty of franchise-altering studs have been taken in the 15 range… Kobe, Kawhi, Giannis to name a few.
I have to be honest, these basement dwellers moaning and saying let’s throw in the towel so we can move up like four spots in the draft or whatever… they remind me of that friend who says “why bust my azz at work when I can just chill at home and live off the folks and the government… I mean I’ll just save my energy for some get rich quick scheme because those big moves are the only things that are worth hustling for.” Yeah ok buddy. You work so that you get whatever income you can, build your skills, stay on the grind and allow opportunities to open up. Yeah, sometimes there are roadblocks, it ain’t always a straight line, you know?
I’m sorry Siakam but Peotlt needs to be on that cover.
Thadeus Young was my favorite sixers player back then before Embiid and Simmons era
JAKOB SCHWARTENEGGER
HAS ARRIVED… WELCOME THE TERMINATOR…
OSTA…LA VISTA…BABY!
nice to have a big man who's job is to be by the rim on offense. Way less of this one and done bs.
I hope Thad's okay.
Getting better each game. Get OG healthy qe got a fun team.
Masai is a genius. #WeTheNorth.
I really think that Barnes should play point guard on more possessions, he’s got great vision and can score of the dribble if he’s isolated and once the defence collapses he has the height to pass it over anybody.
Van fleet can beat one guy but usually tries to do to much and ends up getting blocked.
Im also glad Jakob is back, he’s more aware and faster than any other centre the raps have.
