S.B

@Ozoon_CA He was amazing this year, & a huge part as to why the raps even made the playoffs. He had a few bad games, but he was injured. How quickly people forget. You don’t just turn your back on a great player because of a couple bad games.

Run it back or trade him?

@Josh_Almeida @SleeperRaptors I agree, & although Giannis is a superstar, he’s only getting older, & is very expensive. I like what the raptors are building with this young group, why throw it all away

@SleeperRaptors No. There hasnt been any of these trades work out for anyone. They are just franchise killers. U cant trade all your young pieces and all your picks. There is no team that has been successful doing this. Not 1

If Giannis Antetokounmpo is really available this summer. Should the Toronto Raptors go all in?

@DRaps04 I was at this game . Haha, I remember Gradey going off. Lol. I also remember everyone chanting Bronnys name at the end of the game, & JJ putting him in for the last 5 seconds.🤣

I mean he’s gotta still be in there somewhere right

@Hoop_Engine @TheNBABase @0uttis Yes I am aware. Lol. I’m just saying, he was a beast this yr, he’d probably be a DPOY candidate if he played on a different team. People weren’t even aware of how good he’s gotten until seeing him in round 1. Maybe now, more people will start to pay attention.

@StephanieBowes2 @TheNBABase @0uttis They don’t explain it because those type of stats don’t exist unfortunately.

Scottie Barnes on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: "Shai don't really foul bait, yo. He's aggressive going to the basket so they call fouls for him. There's no reason to hate on his game" (h/t @0uttis )

@MCD1592 @Jackal21O @21pt0TheShank It was above the kneck area. The definition of a flagrant 2 is, “unnecessary and excessive contact committed by a player against an opponent.” Doesn’t state intentional or not. I get that he was clearing space, but you have to be aware of what you’re doing.

@Jackal21O @21pt0TheShank He was clearing space, which happens multiple times in an NBA playoff game when guys are climbing all over someone. Guys trip players, hit them in the nuts, actual dirty plays that warrant ejection. It wasn’t the intent, it was the result. Which isn’t right.

1) McD slaps Wemby in the head/face (NO CALL) 2) McD holds Wemby’s arm after Wemby gets the rebound (NO CALL) 3) Wemby sings his arm with the ball in away from McDaniel’s & inadvertently hits Naz 4) That’s the only foul that’s called & Wemby’s ejected

@Hoop_Engine @TheNBABase @0uttis As soon as you said “Barnes is not even a defender” you lost all credibility. He’s one of the best defenders in the league, He had over 100 steals & 100 blocks this season., but the stats don’t even explain how impactful he is as a defender.

@TheNBABase @0uttis This is just totally false, Barnes is not even a defender. Don’t understand why he’s nut hugging a known flopper.

@PrinxeDJ @PlayersChoice_ Ya, no.

@PlayersChoice_ 2017 Kevin Durant is better than 2019 Kawhi, and it's not a conversation.

Who would you rather have as your team's starting SF?🤔 2017 Kevin Durant or 2019 Kawhi Leonard

@notblasta @devana1125 @TheHoopCentral @JoelXLorenzi @LADEig It’s becoming a little much. He must be taking Lukas position making a fuss over every no call.

@devana1125 @TheHoopCentral @JoelXLorenzi @LADEig He literally cries like this every single game

Austin Reaves is absolutely FURIOUS at the ref: “That’s some bullsh*t for you to talk to me like that…Pus*y.” 😳 (via @JoelXLorenzi, h/t @LADEig)

@aaronharris02 @pitlessball A solid big that can rebound would be a start. 😁

@pitlessball Raps are in a good place but missing 1 more piece. Its coming but no idea who. Webster will pull the trigger when the team is ready. Any Thoughts?

Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles

@ExclusiveRaps @Dripw @pitlessball So that’s where the injury happened. What an assholio.

@Dripw @pitlessball And then he did some dirty shit and swiped down so hard it almost tore CMBs thumb off the bone causing him to miss the rest of the szn. After he did come back it was an issue for him for the remainder of the season. What a fat dirty pig Luka is

@Mr_BiggerBlue @PlayoffDude You’re right, but tell that to the people using it as their argument towards Shai. I’m just responding to what I read.

@StephanieBowes2 @PlayoffDude That has nothing to do with their basketball skills lol

The worst player here needs to be cut. Who’s it gonna be?

@SleeperRaptors A. He was was a big reason the Raps even made the playoffs. I get he had a rough showing, but he seemed to be turning it around, scored 23 in the 4th game, then he got hurt. We should be supporting the players regardless.

Toronto, what grade you giving Brandon Ingram this season? 21.5 PPG 5.6 RPG 3.7 APG 0.8 SPG 0.7 BPG 47.7 FG% 38.2 3P% 82.0 FTM%

@abzizOne @SleeperRaptors @Raptors @NBA He played 77 games this season.

@SleeperRaptors Nothing to grade here. As usual soft as cotton. How about he plays more games in the season and actually show up in the playoffs. Why did we even sign him? Idiots in the office. .@Raptors @NBA

@Templeglazer @dudeitsthatguy How quick they forget. He showed up for them all season, played 77 games, & was a big factor in the Raptors making the playoffs. Also, he’s spoken about how much he loves playing in Toronto, & how he found his love for the game again.

@dudeitsthatguy Ingram has done a great job shooting the long ball this season. His spacing makes him more impactful than RJ. People seem to forget how good Ingram was before the playoffs.

PG: Scottie Barnes SG: Kyrie Irving SF: Brandon Ingram PF: CMB C: Domantas Sabonis Bench: PG: Jamal Shead SG: Ja’Kobe Walter SF: Jamison Battle PF: Mamu C: Aday Mara WHOS STOPPING THE 26-27 TORONTO RAPTORS 🔜💍

@OV0Brandon @LegionHoops He’s been in a rebuild for the last 2-3 yrs, &only been in the league for 5. First yr after a rebuild & they made the playoffs. They are not “ass” they’re young, but the talent is there. Scottie’s finally getting recognition. Best player that series & will only get better.

@LegionHoops yall been saying this for 3 years now, hes an all star on an ass team. He should be averaging 30

Scottie Barnes deserves more respect. He’s one of the best players in the NBA. His big moment is coming, just wait on it.

@catul_lafortune @LegionHoops Maybe game 4, but game 3 Toronto took, & never looked back. I don’t know why everyone doubts Toronto. Those boys are hungry.

93-89. Series tied. Cleveland had two All-Stars, home court, and a 2-0 lead. Toronto had no Quickley and no business being here. Harden had 8 turnovers in Game 3. Mitchell disappeared when it mattered. The Raptors didn’t steal two games , the Cavs gave them away. That’s the most dangerous kind of series. Game 5 in Cleveland, and now nobody’s comfortable.

JUST IN: The Raptors STUN the Cavs and tie the series 2-2. WOW.

@falapimenta10 @LegionHoops Raps are no slouches

@LegionHoops The Cavs are straight-up horrible and they stink like shit Donovan Mitchell is the most overrated player in the league, and James Harden has been overdue for retirement for a long-ass time. These guys can’t even beat the Raptors… it’s the end for the Cavs 💀

@mrlegendairy904 @PensareBBall This is only his 5th season, & they’ve been in rebuild mode for the last 2-3 years. This is his first opportunity in the playoffs to really show who he is as a player, & he’s only going to continue to get better.

@PensareBBall It’s the Cavs Man U gotta stop pen lol man ain’t played a meaningful game yet against an elite team nor has he strung together consistent seasons of what he’s doing allow guys to become what u envision stop trying to force them in position give it time smh

Apologize to Scottie Barnes. Now.

@tempfadetj1 @troytrilla @GammuVlash @PensareBBall He’s normally not a 1, but he is the glue that holds the team together. He does absolutely everything on the floor. Elite defender, & playmaker.

@troytrilla @GammuVlash @PensareBBall Right now yes. I’m talking about the ability to do that for a full season and then a postseason. I haven’t seen that.
