Wanna know how the Raptors became the NBA’s best SLOB & BLOB team? Watch my breakdown: youtu.be/n7zcwTbkvow?si…

let's - and i cannot stress this enough - fucking go

the raptors' defence is moving me

raptors haven't been cutting/moving with their usual zip imo but gotta credit the pacers' defence, they've been insanely physical & have jammed up all the raps' off-ball actions

i'm officially true hooper pilled

can't overstate this. that version of the pacers was much, much better than its 2-15 record & the refs swallowed their whistles (as they should for an nba cup game). raps really had to show their mettle & grind for that one. stayed tough. earned it

brandon ingram hitting game winners, raps 4-0 in cup play, jays dropping $200m on top-of-market free agents. believe in this city believe in yourselves

Raptors had a 41.7 eFG% tonight, the lowest in a win by any team this season.

Not sure why anyone would choose to eat food, watch football, or spend time with family when they could instead join us in talking about basketball. Make the smart choice.

the pistons' defence is truly a delight to watch. perfect blend of brains & brawn

sweet jesus, cade

scott barnes top-5 defender & top-10 passer in basketball. special stuff

the speed with which cooper flagg is improving is kind of terrifying. kicking serious ass at both ends of the court rn

austin reaves is a real sick fuck

sounding like a broken record probably but scottie has made *so* many winning plays at both ends tonight. his defence was elite already but his processing & court-mapping this season are just on a different level. a treat to watch

I know a lot of people don’t like LeBron and are going to celebrate that streak ending. That pass is emblematic of who he is as a player, and I’m glad he made it. Credit to LeBron man.

Only 24 players have played at least 1,297 games in NBA history.

game was super fun & super frustrating. not a ton they could've done with reaves with the way he was going but thought jakobe deserved a look in crunch time. really didn't like the raps' offensive process down the stretch

ingram has by far the highest crunch-time usage% on the raptors. that's as much about the team as it is about him, but worth noting he's at 39% true shooting in those scenarios & the raps rank 25th in clutch o-rating. might be time to rethink their approach to late-game offense
