@RaptorsSlander Great point, also the raptors are playing with a lot of nervous energy, it will help them in some ways but also affect the flow, which will hurt BI.

I hate calling out single guys like this. It’s a team game and defenses work to take some guys out of the game hoping the rest can’t get it done.
BI is a proven guy. Don’t doubt he’ll be there in this series.
Luca Rosano@lucarosano3
Brandon Ingram has been extremely disappointing. He needed to be special for the Raptors to have a chance to win this series and he has done squat.

KAT is set to join Nikola Jokic as the only two players in NBA history to average 20+ points (on over 50% shooting), 10+ rebounds, 3+ dimes and 1.5 made three-pointers per game in consecutive seasons.

During the Knicks' current five-game winning streak, Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging: 6.5 assists and 11.3 rebounds, while shooting 65% from the floor and 93% from the FT line. Cheat code.
English
@RaptorsSlander Also no point guard:IQ ain’t it. He’s an off the bench PG or SG playing high minutes, but not the floor general. RJ can score at the others detriment. Every play should be rotating through Scottie or BI somewhere around the foul line.
English
Both Barnes and Ingram struggling offensively, and it's because of the return of Jak.
When you have a non-shooting Center it forces other guys to space the floor. So this is what you get, Star players hanging out in corners because your Center can't shoot from more than 5 feet

This can’t be the Scottie Barnes offensive experience.
English
@RaptorsSlander Great to see him doing well. But not a finisher consistently
English
@squiberto Yeah we've been watching OG for a long time. We know
English
No.
OG is an important piece, but in the NBA getting a bucket in crunch time is simply more valuable.
OG is at best your #3
KNICKS BEAST@KnicksBeast
The Knicks have gone 78-37 in 115 games with OG Anunoby. His 68% winning percentage is the highest of any NBA player from 2023-2025. Franchise cornerstone
English
@RaptorsSlander @LeaderHunk Yea not EPO, testosterone or human growth hormone. Cmon
English
@LeaderHunk Yeah I suspect the vaccine is a part of these problems itself. Complete mess.
English
Damn the science backs this up. I’m a bit surprised to be honest. NBA athletes are in incredible health. Strange tendon weakening effects?

LONG COVID is running through your fave NBA players (and you) Dame Lillard deep vein thrombosis, Wembanyama deep vein thrombosis, Jayson Tatum permanently uses an inhaler, CJ McCollum had a collapses lung, Giannis sidelined from training camp a few months ago

@RaptorsSlander Duke produced two guys that can really play the game the right way.
English
I knew Cooper would have a good first year.
I didn't think his numbers would be similar to Scottie Barnes, playing his 5th year and an All Star selection already while looking close to another one right now.
All Things Mavs • Flagg For ROY@All_Things_Mavs
Cooper Flagg and Scottie Barnes are the only players in the NBA this season with at least… - 380 points - 145 rebounds - 70 assists - 30 steals - 10 blocks He’s already one of the most well-rounded NBA players, and he’s only 18 years old #MFFL
English
@RaptorsSlander Just saying, Josh Hart is on there too. They both defend anyone, and play overly aggressive defence. Cherry picking a stat.
English
Scottie Barnes has so many fans that are going to self harm when they read this…
ALL NBA Podcast@ALLCITY_NBA
Here are the 10 defenders who have allowed the highest percentage of blowbys when defending drives this season
English
@RaptorsSlander Definitely not aggressive enough offensively. He pushes so hard on defence that I think it limits his offensive zone touches and aggression.
English
Why do people do this Crap???
Barnes went 15/11/5 and looked rather average.

Scottie Barnes vs the Brooklyn Nets 34 PTS 12 AST 11 REB 3 BLK 2 STL THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA 🏆

@michaelgrange Great read, well written. Hard work and taking risk pays off

There are plenty of Canadians in the NBA these days, but a general manager who grew up in smalltown Alberta? That's new. I chatted with Atlanta Hawks hoops boss Onsi Saleh about his one-of-a-kind journey: sportsnet.ca/nba/article/in…

This is a good sign amid all the Doom and Gloom.
The Key to the Ingram trade was him fitting with Scottie, the franchise player. So games like this, early in the process, are a good sign they are figuring it out.

@RaptorsSlander Scottie is not better than him and won’t be, but definitely a better playmaker. Giannis is past his prime IMO
English
@RaptorsSlander Both are pretty respectable, bucks were the 6th seed that year.
Now look at their first year and compare team performance.
Individual stats are comparable to team performance.
Giannis won’t win a title again, as his ego is greater than his drive to win, comp. to when he won
English
A bit early for this….
🌶@spicyPenjoyer
to everyone that said pascal siakam can’t be a top option on a winning team
English
@RaptorsSlander Needs to release his bench more, Brunson looked like he was sleeping last night.
English
I'm going through a DEEP reconsideration of the Knicks. I was so high on them, Leon Rose made so many great moves. Did he make them too fast? Did he not confirm the fit of all the pieces before adding another big piece???
I'm suspecting their style of play isn't modern
