1. MIP!!!!

2. 2nd game back and RJ already got a 30 ball.. put some respect on Maple Pierce 😂😂😂

3. At least we’re watchable this year lol no more Malik Williams type of guys

4. AGREED.
   As much as I love Scottie.
   We need to build our Offence around Gradey as Scottie just makes magic, regardless of plays running for him.
   FUTURE LOOKING AMAZING IN TORONTO.
   We are competing. Management got great rookies in Mobgo, Shead & Battle.
   First time in 3 years I feel calm with the direction of this team.

5. @benrogers with injuries raptors can be 1 win 14 losses in next 3 weeks. ensures the plug pulled early on the season by 3-4 weeks to ensure a high pick this year.

6. Fun to watch this year, I am happy to lose this way and we can keep top pick ❤win win

7. Portal is looking good now is a great time for raptors to trade him well his value is high. Great centre but is injury prone and doesn't fit raptors timeline. With Barnes injury the Raptors should be focused on developing the young talent. Try to get a top 5 talent in a deep draft. Because Raptors are close to taking a giant leap and if they want to compete with Boston they really need one more really good player. I believe they have a diamond in the ruff with that Comanche kid who should be raptors centre of the future. If raptors trade Portal and Brown and Bouche they can get even more young depth. So Raptors can have a great second unit like we have had in the past. If raptors can get a top 5 pick in the coming draft. I could see them jumping to 3rd or 4th in the east the following season

8. what happened to the 7 foot rookie? why isn't he getting any run given kelly olynk is out?

9. I said it before I'll say it again, the Raptors won't win every game but they will be entertaining. I think we've only been blown out once this year including pre season. Every loss has been by a bucket or two. A few more calls go our way and the result would be different. These results are all with many of our top scores out injured. When we get everyone back, healthy and in game shape? Watch out. 😊

10. His midrange jumper is so smooth

11. Flagg, Barnes and Dick is unstoppable

12. I’d like to see Darko actually add former nba stars to his assistant staff, Guys like Marc Gasol would be great for Poetl. Hell I’d even bring back Matt Thomas as a shooting coach.

13. I respect the ethical tanking in progress, while entertaining the fans. Can’t wait to grab Flagg or equivalent

14. Gradey is going to be the GROAT. Really.

15. Gradey takes it to the hoop better than Scottie, Barnes has no bag, the slashing past the defender open dunk don’t count, Scottie can’t do the acrobatic finishes that Gradey does, Barnes ain’t him like that

16. Dick just keeps getting better, I love it

17. RJ is the next star

18. The NBA will not allow the Raptors to get the Number 1 pick when there's a franchise player,forget about Cooper Flagg

19. Pump the breaks, due to injuries his usage has increased. He is still highly inconsistent.

20. The quicker Mogbo sharpens up his PnR finishing the quicker they will be forced to play him. Mitchell will always be a backup but he's won the backup job in my opinion. We overpaid Scottie. I was saying that from the beginning. He'll be good but he should not get more focus in the offence than Barrett, Quickley and Dick.

21. Somebody get Ben a hat. 😂

22. Trade for Steven Adams and send Boucher to houston. Use Adams as the back up Center getting 15 minutes a night. Put Kelly at PF.

23. I should get a shirt with Gradey's name.

24. Big GRADEY ENERGY!!

25. Mogbo at 30 is a solid pick, if 1 pick later there wasnt a significantly better player ready to contribute that fits us better….but hey, keep Scottie happy.

26. 2 players drop 30 and lose? Sorry but that’s pretty trash rn.
    Raptors aren’t bad enough to tank (injuries aside.)

27. I have done the thing a lot. you shud have mylolions of phawlowers.

28. Great game by the boys but losing still sucks. If we can keep our turnover down and learn to finish we be good.

29. Dick is and will be sick. Need cooper Flagg with Barnes and a big and this team would be awesome to watch.

30. Rj, dick, Barnes, Flagg pls tank and a big.

31. Gradey is now the best offensive player on this team… he needs more defensive prowess tho

32. Everyone is saying Capture the Flagg. Honestly, as generational as he potentially could be, don’t see how he’d fit with Scottie.
    I’d much rather see them nab Maluach. A mobile, shot-blocking 7 footer who can shoot the 3 fills a need so much more. Barnes, Dick, IQ, RJ, Malauch – win.

33. I am sick and tired hearing drummed up excitement about the Craptors, stop buying tickets until they put together a team worthy of watching. Too many excuses about injuries

34. Commented on here all last season, all summer – how valuable that "losing" time was for Grady to get the best experience possible, actual playing time. When the hockey whytes, and house N166az constantly whined how they didn't want to watch the Raps saying "they suck, why am I watching?", I would answer: Because you love sports, you love your team, you love basketball. But the other reason is because you are watching these guys develop. Same with O'j, and same with the guys this year who have no NBA exp. This playing team in a losing season is what carves out all-stars.
