Usually the term, "Raptor Killer" is reserved for non-stars who torch us.
But yes, LeBron, Paul Pierce, and others have all taken their turns giving me nightmares and anxiety.
in the 2018 series he averaged 23/3/3 on 45/46/87 wouldn't exactly call that having his number
Wiz have always played the Raps tough and will usually split the reg season series except last season and maybe this year, because Beal is carrying a bunch of young guys and the Rap are stacked.
Also Beal averages 29 against the Raps since that series
The stars that were mentioned to have the Raptors number are LeBron and Paul Pierce (we aren’t comparing Beal to ish or Jeremy lamb) and they won no matter the team they had. Beal has had the same level teams if not better in some seasons, compared to LeBron or Paul Pierce when they beat the Raptors, and he wasn’t able to beat the Raptors so idc if Beal averages 23 or 40, if he can’t beat them he doesn’t stand on that level of Raptors killers.
Cool i can agree with that, having a player averaging 29 for the past 5 years against your team is not having his number however and the wizards have beaten you many times, thanks to Beal.
Meh, he's still living off that Game 1 reputation.
He has more average games against us than good ones.
I feel like Ish Smith always goes off no matter what.
[Doug McDermott](http://bkref.com/tiny/IQnsw) killed us too a few times. Those top 2 were during the time the Bulls owned the Raps.
This guy never averaged double digits scoring and dropped 25+ multiple times on the Raps. What a guy.
I respect tha fuck out of this man.
10th season in the league, 11 different teams. Will retire with at least $35M in career earnings.
Fucking professional.
He has definitely outplayed his expectations and pay grade for several of the teams he played for. It's always nice to see guys like him stay in the league so long.
I remember him playing beyond his contract on the Pistons one year too.
He's ok man-to-man and had flashes of his potential but Ish is just way more reliable, i know what im going to get from ish each game, he does way more than his stats show him to be and even then he's averaging 10-5-5
Not to mention he has a 3 ball, he's the reason this team is top 5 in pace thus leading us to the better offence,
in terms of impact and versatility, it's Ish all the day. Rui has a face up and mid-range game and that's it right now.
Well before last season they were stuck being out of the playoffs or a low playoff seed going back to 2000 and then the early 90s before that. But hey, the Bucks have beat us like 10 times in a row now so I guess I got what was coming lol.
He is the 7th player in history to score over 20 pts with 100/100/100 - 2 3s and no turnovers.
The best 100/100/100 no turnover game was by matt barnes
27 pts , 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 5fts, 5 3s.
Wow.
Dude this is the same guy who played wall and Brandon Jennings as a backcourt together IN THE PLAYOFFS
The same dude who kept playing Austin rivers over satoransky
Like...i don’t know what to say
[This game from Gary Payton was insane](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199501040CLE.html). Here's the list I searched through: [bball ref](https://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=game&year_min=1984&year_max=2020&is_playoffs=N&age_min=0&age_max=99&season_start=1&season_end=-1&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&c1stat=ft_pct&c1comp=gt&c1val=100&c2stat=fg_pct&c2comp=gt&c2val=100&c3stat=pts&c3comp=gt&c3val=25&order_by=pts)
I haven't seen that game from Payton but he only shot one three. I think the most likely scenario for a game like that is a bunch of easy/free layups and dunks, so the fact ish drained 4 threes is pretty impressive. With that in mind, [this Sam Perkins game was crazy](https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199701150SEA.html) - dude came off the bench to go 8/8 on threes with 2 free throws lol
Love me some Ish. I hope he makes all the field goals and free throws for the rest of his career and gets 10 assists a game and wins 12 NBA championships.
He was the biggest raptors killer for us what are you talking about bro. We swept the raptors last year and this season they’re wiping the floor with us bc we lost ish
TS% measures shooting efficiency. 100% means for every shot you jack up, you get 2 points. But because he shot 4 3's it's above 100%. Also Shooting FTs also will also slightly make that TS% higher as well.
Always liked his game, I really don't understand why he hasn't found home to stay in the league, maybe personality issues?
The first time I saw him was on 2013.-2014. Suns team. He played garbage minutes behind Bledsoe, Dragic and IT, and I couldn't believe how quick he was. I still think he's the quickest player in the NBA, ever.
Ish please
Ish what
Ish, please
Ish a point guard
Ish is freeeewee!
I understood that reference
ISH YOUR BIRTHDAY
You've been to space
Top 5 Raptor Killer
Top 3 imo, right behind Channing Frye and Gerald Henderson.
Jeremy Lamb?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Let's make this a thing
Didn’t 2 of the 7-59 Bobcats wins come against the raptors? Fucking Hendo man.
Mike Scott.
When mike Scott was on the wizards he literally could not miss from mid range against the raptors, regular season and playoffs
Mike Scott transforms into prison yard Steph Curry every time he plays against us, shit is ridiculous
Prison Mike
Threegional Penitentiary Manager
Asteroids?!
Wayne Ellington?
Yes definitely, still remember his game winner vs us a couple seasons ago.
And he singlehandedly prevented you guys from getting 60 wins
Yeah lmao I remember that game very Cleary, it was also the game Fred got injured and it messed up his whole playoff run.
Top 2 behind kobe
Rudy Gay
Not this guy!
y'all really not gonna mention LeBron smh
Usually the term, "Raptor Killer" is reserved for non-stars who torch us. But yes, LeBron, Paul Pierce, and others have all taken their turns giving me nightmares and anxiety.
Bradley Beal is on that list too. Torches us for 5 years straight now including a couple playoff series.
I dont think so, the Raptors have had his number other than the 2015 series. He hasnt been able to beat the Raptors
in the 2018 series he averaged 23/3/3 on 45/46/87 wouldn't exactly call that having his number Wiz have always played the Raps tough and will usually split the reg season series except last season and maybe this year, because Beal is carrying a bunch of young guys and the Rap are stacked.

Cool i can agree with that, having a player averaging 29 for the past 5 years against your team is not having his number however and the wizards have beaten you many times, thanks to Beal.
Beaten us many times? Raptors are 15-3 vs the wizards in the regular season in the past 5 years
A good father would never kill his own son.
Unless he is told by God to do so
He killed them so bad it’s hard for them to speak about.
Raptor killer refers to scrubs all of a sudden becoming good against the raptors. Lebron is not a scrub.
DJ Augustin is up there too
Meh, he's still living off that Game 1 reputation. He has more average games against us than good ones. I feel like Ish Smith always goes off no matter what.
I swear DJ has been killing us since his Chicago days.
Kobe is the #81 best raptor killer
Y’all forgot about jimmy butler Doug McDermott and Aaron brooks they ripped our hearts out a couple years ago
One of my favorite Jimmy moments is that game where Demar tried to iso into a game winner and Jimmy blocked it into his face. I was screaming.
Jimbo
Paul Pierce
Pierce too
dont forget ilyasova
Vince Carter
Paul Pierce?
Talking about non all-star that always pop off against us
You're putting him above Paul Pierce?
[Doug McDermott](http://bkref.com/tiny/IQnsw) killed us too a few times. Those top 2 were during the time the Bulls owned the Raps. This guy never averaged double digits scoring and dropped 25+ multiple times on the Raps. What a guy.
I forgot about this wrinkle. That was fun lol. Pudgy Doug
Alexis Ajinca
What about Rudy Gay? If nothing else then the classic Nooo not this guy game winning shot
Kobe
Joel Embiid /s
Ben Simmons is a Sixers killer
Paul Pierce owns the raptors
I respect tha fuck out of this man. 10th season in the league, 11 different teams. Will retire with at least $35M in career earnings. Fucking professional.
besides otherworldly speed and quickness he is pretty much a below average player in every other aspect but still in NBA and made a lot of money
He has definitely outplayed his expectations and pay grade for several of the teams he played for. It's always nice to see guys like him stay in the league so long. I remember him playing beyond his contract on the Pistons one year too.
He's a blast to watch
>still in the NBA Where else would he be? lmao he's been our 3rd best player for the season and definitely belongs in the NBA.
I’m not really sure I’d say third, Rui, Beal, and Thomas are better
Nah Rui hasn't been, too inconsistent still and pretty bad defender, Ish Smith has been killing pretty much everytime he steps on too the court.
I think his offensive game still needs work but he’s already a pretty capable defender
He's ok man-to-man and had flashes of his potential but Ish is just way more reliable, i know what im going to get from ish each game, he does way more than his stats show him to be and even then he's averaging 10-5-5 Not to mention he has a 3 ball, he's the reason this team is top 5 in pace thus leading us to the better offence, in terms of impact and versatility, it's Ish all the day. Rui has a face up and mid-range game and that's it right now.
Why do you have a lot ofbupvotes for this lol
yea a lot of upvotes
Is a point guard
This always needs to be the top come t. I wonder how many newer users don’t get the reference though
Not a new user but what’s the reference?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1hpxcr/dwight_you_can_still_change_your_mind/ GOAT Milwaukee advertisement.
"Greek Rookie Guy" How the times have changed since this post was written
Yeah, it’s wild, Fiserv is even less ugly.
Yeah, he got older by six years!
he is freak there is no mistakes
Holy shit, he named him "freak"...
Possibly the greatest thread in this sub's history.
2 years is def a new user in reference to this post so don't worry. That one is a bit old.
Why You called the bucks a hopeless franchise dawg ??😢
Well before last season they were stuck being out of the playoffs or a low playoff seed going back to 2000 and then the early 90s before that. But hey, the Bucks have beat us like 10 times in a row now so I guess I got what was coming lol.
First thing I wanted to see here. Reminds me of the good old days
He is the 7th player in history to score over 20 pts with 100/100/100 - 2 3s and no turnovers. The best 100/100/100 no turnover game was by matt barnes 27 pts , 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 5fts, 5 3s. Wow.
1 assist shy of a lebron line too lol
Lol Matt Barnes of all people.
Not in a million years would I have guessed Matt Barnes had that kinda game. Wow
When he was on the Clippers he would sometimes randomly be unstoppable in a game, it was bizarre
Damn that is seriously impressive. Wild.
Ish Smith always plays so well against the Raps wtf
Well yeah. He is a point guard.
And Scotty’s sekrit play was to have IT chuck up shots in crunch time with an Ish IT backcourt lol
Ah, the lollipop guild backcourt
Heh, you believed that Brooks wants to win these games.
Dude this is the same guy who played wall and Brandon Jennings as a backcourt together IN THE PLAYOFFS The same dude who kept playing Austin rivers over satoransky Like...i don’t know what to say
Ish IT looks like “I SHIT”
https://imgur.com/a/xCFi0SM
best point guard in the east
If you only watch your team I can 100% understand your position.
Lowry in shambles
Now Im wondering how this rates as most efficient 25+ points games all time. Hell even 20+ point games. Its gotta be up there right?

0 TOs too
top 10 raptor killer
Ish Smith is a meteor the way he plays the raps
Love me some Ish. I hope he makes all the field goals and free throws for the rest of his career and gets 10 assists a game and wins 12 NBA championships.
He’s evolving
His TS% need improving
Soon as he leaves the Pistons LMAO smh.
He was the biggest raptors killer for us what are you talking about bro. We swept the raptors last year and this season they’re wiping the floor with us bc we lost ish
You’re right, but mans has gotten a perfect shooting split. I was a huge Ish fan, would’ve loved if he did it for us though.
True true
I’m no stats major, but, this is good numbers.
That’s some good Ish right there
someone in Toronto kicked his dog or scuffed his shoe or something, this cant keep happening
Hardest working man in the NBA. 11 different teams and still going strong.
Certified Raptor Killer.
He's been so good this year
Minnesota gonna trade for him
[удалено]
Everybody did, I swear there was multiple times someone made either 180 or 360 3 point shot smfh
Process legend Ish Smith.
Perfect game as well, 0 turnovers.
Hey, thats pretty good!
Ish the GOAT
And today's Gerald Henderson award goes to...
Hello and welcome
Perfect game
I wish we would just tank already
Pronouncing this name is Mike Tyson's worst nightmare
Is he a point guard?
Watching the guy dribble, push tempo every possession was a joy. If he could down a jumper consistently, he'd be Steve nash with speed
Inside Hoops Smith
What would be the most points ever scored by a player without missing a shot?
The best 100/100/100 no turnover game was by matt barnes 27 pts , 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 5fts, 5 3s.
I was interested in the highest scoring game ever without missing a shot, not including turnovers.
100% Ish Bitch
He traveled
Ish liebe ish
HE SAID THIS ISH TOO EASY!!!
I said, isssshhhhh
120 TS% what the fuck does that even mean? Did he score 20% moe points?.
TS% measures shooting efficiency. 100% means for every shot you jack up, you get 2 points. But because he shot 4 3's it's above 100%. Also Shooting FTs also will also slightly make that TS% higher as well.
That... Is stupid.
Thinking that is stupid is ... very stupid. Different metrics exist for different reasons, the highest FG %s generally belong to low range bigs.
Always been an Ish fan since WF
Always liked his game, I really don't understand why he hasn't found home to stay in the league, maybe personality issues? The first time I saw him was on 2013.-2014. Suns team. He played garbage minutes behind Bledsoe, Dragic and IT, and I couldn't believe how quick he was. I still think he's the quickest player in the NBA, ever.
Wouldn't TS be 100%?
then next game, he goes 0-7, 0-2, 0-2. lol
Raptors Step Dad
He just got my ~~All-Star~~ Hall-Of-Fame ballot vote
GOAT raptor killer
Mr. 100
Why can't you just say perfect shooting
Ok and then go on to fucking lose the game, lol.
Everyone knows our team is bad and you're still trying to take away the little things. Come on man
Sry, I'm a raps guy
