OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

[MindzEye]

RJ gets tunnel vision sometimes, but if he can cut down on that as he develops, build up some man strength to finish through the contact better and just get league average at open 3's, he's a good good player. You don't have to squint very hard to see him as a part of a contending squad imo. As a high end role/secondary player, not a star, but still real gud.

It’s so good to watch the local team play normal basketball again

It's like someone removed the stone of shame from around my neck and forgot to put the stone of triumph on after.

That was a great half.

 

[MindzEye]

That was a great half.

My favourite bit is that they didn't do anything crazy. Shot 48%, 50% from 3 isn't something you keep up all game but it's not crazy for a half either.

It's just a good basketball team doing good basketball team things.

 

[MindzEye]

Great start to the 2nd half, Quickley starting to get comfy with his squad

You know the Boston hate is crazy strong when it transfers full force into Memphis and changes not one iota

 

[zeke]

There's my RJ.

x2.

 

[zeke]

suddenly Poeltl is a block machine.

Rough stretch there for RJ.

Meanwhile stopped JJ at the rim.

 

[zeke]

probably shouldn't trade Siakam tbh.

 

[zeke]

RJ is so bad christ.

 

[Leafin']

What a shit call

 

[MindzEye]

What a shit call

Yeah, it's bad when they still fuck it up even with the replay.

 

[Leafin']

The Barnes - Quickley connect is a thing of beauty.

 

[MindzEye]

That was a dumb challenge, Scottie was definitely moving a bit there.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

we should be scouring the earth for teams wanting Trent's expiring and see if we can add any useful, even expensive bench pieces.
