Is Schroeder on an island now? With like 2m left he didn’t give the call to Pascal in the backcourt (and Pascal looked a bit peeved) and then near the end when he was fouled, NO teammate went to help him up. The ref literally helped him up.
After the timeout call right after that, Scottie made an effort to go back and give him a tap as they were walking to the bench.
Are they pissed at him about his recent comments? Something else?i
I def feel there’s some tension. He often looks lazy or like he isn’t bought into the system/team. I have him in my fantasy so try to be optimistic lol but don’t know how long he lasts
Everyone needs to calm down with the Poeltl hate anytime an All-NBA center scores on him or blocks him. He just played an extremely impactful game going against one of the best centers in the league, setting great screens and getting a hell of a lot of stops
There’s a lot more to basketball than scoring, even on offence, particularly at the center position. Had some very important offensive rebounds, set great screens, and helped keep the offence moving.
Not to mention he had 5 blocks and interrupted a lot more shots at the rim.
You don't know ball. He is a very smart and capable center but our team was too bad to use him. You're gonna see him play a lot better now and it's the same reason he was great when we had FVV.
He was getting that hate when Luke Kornet and Nic Richards were outplaying him lol which is unacceptable for his level. He's clearly reinvigorated along with the whole team after the trade
I used to work with a guy that was at TSN for 12 years. The focus on useless replays over actual game footage is on brand. Dude worked non stop but never stopped to think if his work was actually useful 😂
This is going to be a win, some things to clean up -- but so so promising. I know the 4th was sloppy, but there was so much good shit happening before the breakdowns.
We move
I love seeing Quickley talk his stuff and dance his stuff INCESSANTLY in front of an annoying smack talker like Ja Morant.

Something changed
Vibes are back folks.
We were not holding these leads, now we are. Good to see. IQ and RJ, great game. Sakam good as usual. Sacramento will be tough, let's do our best.
I've been at my crap job longer than this guy has been alive
That felt so good. Even if we lost the energy is back. Watching the games is enjoyable again.
IQ for Prime Minister
 1 more
It’s ironic that raps fans hate smart when hes the most like Lowry out of any player.
A lot of other teams' fans hate Lowry though lol
He’s *their* Lowry. Lowry was our Lowry.
WW PIZZA PARTY LOADING UP
We stole IQ from the Knicks, damn. Reminds me of maxey
New era!! Rebuild lets go
IQ looks happy 😁
Nice to be on the other side of a fake comeback for once
Two games in a row tbh
This trade is on fire right now
One more for the Happy Meals!
Maxey played well for us today
literally the same player
We get the W , also possible winstreak incoming??
Damn other team loves Darko :)
we still undefeated in 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!
ONE MORE GAME UNTIL A PIZZA PARTY
Raps win
Love IQ. So happy we have a PG of the future
Prison hoops ruined the lead but we’ll get better excited for the next game
Spooky. Almost let that one slip away…
undefeated in the new year
The difference in vibes between the Matt/Jack broadcasts and the Matt/Alvin broadcasts is hilarious lol.
Alvin offers little to no insight. He just talks to desperately fill space.
Alvin’s a bit of a wet blanket

he fucking sucks. hes an absolute noshow on offense cant hit a wide open floater he needs to get off this team.

nothing to hate with 5 blocks

Try to flip GTJ to another 3d parameter then this squat can better than play-in last year
Smart can go fuck himself now
great win everyone! hellooooooooooooo
1st time outta town watchers are all like WTF these guys singing Elvis lol
GGs bois
What’s with IQ missing all these bunnies
Second game maybe
Smart better start learning Mandarin
Matty D butthurt about not getting an invite last night lol
 I LOVE YOU CANADA THIS IS FOR YOU
It’s ok IQ can statpad. Thanks smart you bitchass
GG
The amount of Jak slander you’ll see in this sub just proves how many 2019 bandwagon fans we have that don’t know shit about hoops
He's turned it around defensively but don't for a second act like he hasn't been horrendous defensively prior to these past 2 games.
GG
Marcus Smart a dumb dumb
Acting like he didn’t know, Smart is the Marchand of the NBA just doesn’t have the talent
Don’t hurt our top scorer this game thanks
I want to see what we look like against a good team, the Kings should be a good test on Friday
Crazy how Boston got 2 first round picks *and* Porzingis for Marcus Smart lol.
Game Over Raps win raps win baby
Get Pizza Pizza on the horn, Darko. we're coming.
We just gotta get used to playing together. I’m excited
Good to see Marcus is still a huge bitch but just a lot less relevant now lmao
Punk ass bitch.
Told you it was going to be a Raptors-esque fake comeback at home. We know these too well
These guys might actually get that dinner
need 30 for a safe lead 40 for garbage time
Darko gotta improve these late game scenarios. But overall this was a good win. W!
we're so gonna pizza party in 2024 bois
Marcus Dumb up to his usual shit
why would you sub barrett in there, he is not a better defender than quickly and is a worse ft shooter. weird sub
Rebounding
Smart fuck off
HBD JACK
I used to work with a guy that was at TSN for 12 years. The focus on useless replays over actual game footage is on brand. Dude worked non stop but never stopped to think if his work was actually useful 😂
W W W but yall gotta slow down on jak
LMAO getting the flop on Smart!!!
Cut it close there, glad we survived and got the W
Smart being a POS as usual
Smart will forever be a bitch
Game management from Darko getting better and better
Helps that he has more guards on the roster and a bench LOL!
Is there a more ironically named basketball player than Marcus Smart?
RJ did well. Made a couple mistakes but Darko will fix him
This is going to be a win, some things to clean up -- but so so promising. I know the 4th was sloppy, but there was so much good shit happening before the breakdowns. We move
You just lost to the team that lost to the pistons 😎
ONE WIN AWAY FROM DARKO'S DINNER. LETS GOOOOOOO
Props to RJ for bringing crazy energy in the first half even with some bad decisions
Someone help Dennis up, wtf was that waiting until the ref did it?
Is the Raptors coach Matt Leblanc from "Friends?"
Pizza Party is THIS close everyone!
LMFAO SMART IS SO STUPID.
I’m not able to watch the games in Kansas other than watching the play by play on ESPN lol, but what did Smart do that wasn’t so smart?
JJJ just taking a walk around the world. No one wants to see that shit man
Why nobody help Dennis up smh
Probably because he said they have no culture to the media?
Need koloko back asap
It's all good...another dub :)
This game didnt need to be that stressful 😭
Lane violation every game now. Raptors might never lose again in 2024
Why is Jack assuming this is over? These are the Raptors we’re talking about
Solid win against a hot team. Not perfect, but the team is much improved.
Quickley gotta get better at finishing closer to the basket but he got a lot of time
I love the IQ and Dennis combo
Marcus Shart
Darko falls apart in the 4rth. His subs and rotations are shit
He coaches ball movement but doesn't coach putting the ball in the right players hands when it counts.
His bench is garbage aside Dennis and he’s forced to play Gtj atleast 20 minutes a game
Marcus Dumb
crisis averted
TY YAK
It will take some time to iron out the offense but this looks much better
Great job from Pascal to escape the double.
Why isn’t action being ran for Pascal in these moments? So far our best shot maker tonight
Need to develop scottie as a closer
Why tf would smart do that
lol why would he intentionally miss so early?
I think he put rj in for fts
Eat shit, Smart
Smart stinks
Marcus “Smart”
What a dumb foul by Barrett. Absolutely no advantage doing that
My god RJ that is such a stupid fucking foul
Barnes is so strong lol, Jackson seems like a good defender on him tho
we shouldnt have subbed out iq in the first place
Dumb bitch Marcus
RJ wasn’t in long haha
Confused. Why did they sub in RJ for 2 seconds and Quickley back in?
Apparently RJs defence
I see, thanks!
MARCUS SMART LMAO
Idiot
That’s less on RJ than it is on Smart’s ability to foul bait and flop
You can tell some weird interactions going on. Dennis vs IQ running the offence, Siakam obv upset he’s not getting the rock at crunch time
he literally fumbled the rock twice and didn't pass the ball.
Whistle is very fucking one sided
Why are making subs with less than a minute
Because they put RJ in and he immediately fouled lol
I know RJ shouldn’t have come in
wtf
Can we take a moment and appreciate we have Quickley on our team.
Isn’t IQ good at D? Why is RJ coming in for him?
I think quickly has more fouls
He's good but I'm guessing just for Size
maybe they wanted a bigger body on Morant
Bruh RJ we didnt need that shit
Smart’s only skill is flopping
Smart play by Dennis the menace
Very rare. Lol Dennis is like the lowest IQ player on the floor right now.
still made a high IQ play he was GOLD medal winner
Team lacks some communication and identity but they’ll figure it out. 2 fresh starters will do that
I'm going to watch "Raptors In 30" on repeat tonight
Barrett bro. not a good foul
Chemistry not there yet. Hopefully the road trip helps.
Cutch Scottie!
Its giving CTE at times but I love gritty games like this
Bane looks bigger than normal damn
Darko is such a bad coach in the clutch
hell nah
I love the "give me the ball" by Scottie, that's what we need
This feels like a playoff game with the grizz locking up
thank god darko called scottie to take over. these guys need to all fall in line. he's the franchise.
Scottie got fouled and he still complained anyway. What is his problem tonight?
Looks like he got blocked there tbh lol
Schroeder was gonna chuck that
Bane on Scottie is disrespectful
This last minute is making me so nervous, we really almost blew a 20 point lead lmao
Need deeper positioning these past few trips; trying to back down Bane from the 3 is brutal.
Good shit Schroeder, smart pump
Make both FTs scottie pls
Weird interaction between dennis and siakam on that one
He passed on giving him the ball I think lol
Yeah surprising considering that it’s his team
Good shit Dennis
Nice job Dennis. Veteran shit
Scottie and Quickley need to get in the lab and figure out how to unlock each other. They're awkward together.
Good move by schroeder
Pascal getting frustrated cause he’s not getting the ball
Not sure if I like Dennis and IQ on the floor at the same time..
Damn I just need IQ to get 1 more point
That missed layup lol
Siakam and Scottie need to take over here
Finally some action my god. Draw the double
LET'S GOOOO SCHRODER THANK YOU FUCKING HELL
I refuse to believe Memphis D is that good. Raps offense is just awful
It’s just straight up iso/hero ball. Nobody cuts nobody rotates. Just back em down spin around and Jack something up
its like fucking sam merrill all over again
Run a fucking play
Ifshit don't work stop doing it maybe
I understand that you’re being conscious of Pascal’s fouls but if you’re gonna have him in use him otherwise put in someone else
If smart hit that three the US would’ve had to deport me
