  1. Stop shooting 3s with the game on the line… in the last 5-6 minutes, up double digits… go for the better shot… drive in get a foul… 2 many 3s when ur up, u go for a lower % shot over a 2 or a foul, maintain ur lead… ffs get in the paint.

  3. I hated the last 5-6 minutes last night, before Mitchell and RJ came in we spammed the Gradey-Jak pnr which resulted in 3 made baskets and a wide open Agbaji 3 that has been money this year just didn’t go in but as soon as RJ and Mitchell came in the ball got way too sticky especially when Davion had it. I just don’t get why we don’t keep running that until Denver is forced to adjust. If Jak didn’t foul out and we kept spamming that PNR we could have had a better outcome. I definitely don’t want Mitchell anywhere near the ball down the stretch, he misses way too many passing reeds and shoots 25% from 3. On the final play as well we needed to go to Gradey who had a wide open lob if he ran towards the rim his defender was not even close to him. Gradey needs these touches and RJ went 5/21 last night.

  5. I still find that they give these bigshot teams a run for their money, e.g, the game with the lakers down by 30 or so points and loss by 4 or 5 points with some of the good guys down, I'm not saying they're all not good cause I find the bench is really doing great. But hey, imagine the team is fully healthy. Those teams will have to watch their behinds cause our guys aren't struggling they're playing hard. Love my Raptors No matter what, the losses are a bit hard to take, but I'm patient 💯 ❤❤❤

  6. The statue should be of him catching that low pass from Oakey and ooopp jamming it down against the Clippers. That changed lives and allegiances!!! Or of him screaming and crying at the same time, from the ceremony the other night. That was better than ANY dunk. People who boo or hate on him.. have their own pain that needs to be released. For the rest of us, this is what healing looks like in this context. Imho 😊
