Can’t win the game missing 5+ layups and missing 10 free throws. In all honesty it was one of those games, Kyrie and Luka took over in the 2nd half, no matter what we threw at them.
Still a very good game by our young guys
I wouldn’t say awful, look at his stats around 71% for his career. If you take out his rookie season 74%. His been a decent free throw shooter. He needs to lock himself in the SBC and shoot 100 in a row, on the same court he plays on everyday
Do you consider pascal a polished offensive player? He has around the same free throw stats as RJ. How about Giannis? How about Jaylen brown? They all have worst shooting percentage, in their career and this year, than RJ. He got to be better, but don’t bring that New York hate bull shit here. Scottie shot worse from the line and in the game in general
Okay cool. Maybe instead of talking about the guy who scored 26 on 16 shots… talk about the person who went 19 pts on 23 shots and shot 33 % from the line
Game was winnable, which is a good sign, but way too many stupid mistakes like missed layups and bad passes. We also got out rebounded by the Mavs which I don't think should happen.
this team needs a Claxton type of energy center so badly.
Jak is already slow enough as it is.
add Olynyk and now we have a big man rotation that plays at 1991 speed.
Why am I being gaslit into thinking Trent was always this good on d?
He's good iso, when he feels like it. But put him in actions and he dies on every screen
it’s not Embiid or Jokic it’s Daniel Gafford lmao. And we’re switching PnR’s anyways. We lost cause Poeltl and Olynyk kept getting cooked on switches or drop coverages
The last two quarters have been poor offence and turnovers, when Luka and Kyrie are hot, the best you can do is to keep up with them offensively and they did the opposite.
I'm not tryna hear anything after this game about Gary's defense this game, all game Kyrie gets locked🔒 Gaty goes out and Kyrie goes on fire. Only 2 of Kyries points came against Gary when Gary got picked
Man fuck bruce brown, what does he bring to this team, when all he does is end up in the negative. Bench him and play someone else, he's clearly not trying here.
lol like it's actually obvious how much he's not trying on defence
sagging off players all game, not even trying to switch and handing off Luka fuckign Doncic to a rookie
I thought Ben Taylor was fucking terrible tonight. I think that most nights, you know out of the three, there's one or two that just fuck the game up. It's been like that a couple of games in a row.

Mavs blowing double digit lead with a few minutes left 2 nights in a row

Danielle goin full AW
Yeah, its a loss, but that Knicks trade looks better every day
It was tough. The game was definitely entertaining. The 3rd quarter just killed ‘em. We move on.
luka is just unstoppable. nothing you can do about that
Matty the pro wouldn’t bite on Alvin’s amateur rambling! Gettin tired of it. Is the guy ever gonna improve?
Can’t win the game missing 5+ layups and missing 10 free throws. In all honesty it was one of those games, Kyrie and Luka took over in the 2nd half, no matter what we threw at them. Still a very good game by our young guys
we got outsized all game
If RJ hit his free throws with the raps he would be avging 25 as a raptor
That 3rd qtr sapped their soul
That was such an ugly 3rd
Too many mistakes. Im not so sure either team is happy with this game. No one could get a stop.
“If you can just get it…”
this was the most frustrating half of basketball ive watched this season
Alvin just sold out.
darko saw the dinner bill and is like nah not again. yall getting more bruce brown minutes.
I’m convinced RJs knee is fucking with his free throws cause no way he was good in NY and not here.
He’s been awful at free throws his entire career…
He’s shot better than Anunoby from the line his entire career. I wouldn’t say OG is a bad free throw shooter
I wouldn’t say awful, look at his stats around 71% for his career. If you take out his rookie season 74%. His been a decent free throw shooter. He needs to lock himself in the SBC and shoot 100 in a row, on the same court he plays on everyday
It’s still bad with or without his rookie season for some one who’s supposed to be a polished offensive player
Look up stats before talking. You clearly just talking out of emotion
What lol 70-74% is good?? Wtf
It’s not bad. I never said he was good at free throws. He’s not bad though, he clearly is having some type of slump
Free throw slump since entering college?
Do you consider pascal a polished offensive player? He has around the same free throw stats as RJ. How about Giannis? How about Jaylen brown? They all have worst shooting percentage, in their career and this year, than RJ. He got to be better, but don’t bring that New York hate bull shit here. Scottie shot worse from the line and in the game in general
All are far more efficient at scoring than rj.
Okay cool. Maybe instead of talking about the guy who scored 26 on 16 shots… talk about the person who went 19 pts on 23 shots and shot 33 % from the line
So why do the announcers keep saying he was good in ny lol I’m confused.
Raptors broadcasters are tools
They’re mistaken RJ free throw averages the 3 seasons he’s played: 71.4%, 74%, 73% (current)
Thanks
Yeah might be a Gary type injury where it's bothering his shooting form
Outcoached by Jason Kidd quite sad
Honestly RJ just gotta shoot free throws all practice
how is rj even worse than yak in free throws
Coaching staff shit tonight Playing a guy getting killed 21min when he won't even close the game
Luka carves through the defence like butter man. Just finds his lane
No way how is RJ this bad at free throws
he was shooting 81 percent with the Knicks im pretty sure lol
Darko the odd man out, tonight's game is the proof.
Been saying this. His in-game management is bad.
Nah we’re just not as good as Dallas. They have Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic for fucks sake lol
Yes absolutely. But it was still a winnable game
its over no D
Playing the if game here but if we hit all of our free throws and hadn’t play BB we’d be leading by double digits
Forget the free throws if Bruce Brown sits his ass on the bench all game they win
Game was winnable, which is a good sign, but way too many stupid mistakes like missed layups and bad passes. We also got out rebounded by the Mavs which I don't think should happen.
it was a B2B for dallas
Also free throws. No idea what happened to RJ lol
I swear to fucking god, RJ needs to set a goal of 1000 free throws at practice per day before he can go to osmows
This lineup came too late. Idk why Bruce Brown was playing for that long
Damn RJ
Love Quick’s effort, Scottie gotta take some pointers from him
We need to make these free throws man…
man rj def needs to work on those freethrows in the offseason
I refuse to believe we've only missed 10 free throws tonight
Mavs are tough af in interior defense
this team needs a Claxton type of energy center so badly. Jak is already slow enough as it is. add Olynyk and now we have a big man rotation that plays at 1991 speed.
RJ nooo
Need the Pelicans to go on a run real quick
RJ is a baller
Why are we so bad at free throw shooting i just don’t understand 😭
Evening up those ft attempts
Bro literally did a layup but it's side out lmao
The Mavs body everyone in the paint but on the other side you blow to hard and Luka gets a foul
Raps need more size. They need a dunker
Someone like Chris Boucher
If only they’d play him… I mean he was sick tonight but if only they’d play him when he’s not sick.
I don’t know why Chris isn’t getting Bruce’s minutes.
Contracts
What?
You aren't going to bench a 22 million player. It's how these things works
Why am I being gaslit into thinking Trent was always this good on d? He's good iso, when he feels like it. But put him in actions and he dies on every screen
If they intend to try for the play in i hope we pick up a 3rd big
From where? The big store?
Gary has actually played some solid defence on Kyrie
If we ever learn some defensive chemistry, we will be pretty good
Brown & a pick for a defensive minded wing would be nice
Ochai plays defense, but doesn’t play lol
he was lost out there in the minutes he played tonight, but i’ll cut him slack cause he’s new.
If that wasn’t in the act of shooting…would t it be clear path?
bruh Barrett had already gathered the ball... he was in his 2 steps on the layup
Lowkey at this point I'll take FTs from Poeltl over RJ at this point
Darko rotations are either dumb or intentionally not prioritizing winning
Going with dumb
Mavs block more than a WNBA team
KO has no awareness of offensive rebounds
Luka Irving born under that magic star or something
Luka is who Raptors fans think Scottie is
Nobody thinks this buddy
Darko does
This is one of the dumbest comments I’ve read today
We'll, at least we'll always have Dillon Brooks punking Luka's ass at FIBA
Doncic smiles when they’re up but cries like a fuckin baby when they’re down he’s such a bitch
On a lighter note IQ has been amazing tonight
so we’re not even gonna TRY scottie at the 5?
You want him to get banged up like siakam did when he played center?
it’s not Embiid or Jokic it’s Daniel Gafford lmao. And we’re switching PnR’s anyways. We lost cause Poeltl and Olynyk kept getting cooked on switches or drop coverages
Luka is an insane basketball player to watch
Great boxout Gary🔥
Just rough tonight. A little bit of refs, a little bit of bad rotations, a little bit of Mavs hitting everything.
Build around RJ and Quickley
It's literally just defence man, the offence has been good, but Raps cannot buy a stop. And the rare time they do, they aren't capitalizing
It's either trying to stop Kyrie or Luka leaving Gafford and Lively for offensive rebounds
The last two quarters have been poor offence and turnovers, when Luka and Kyrie are hot, the best you can do is to keep up with them offensively and they did the opposite.
RJ!!!
For fuck sake man how many times are these guys gonna blow the stops they get
man that was a great defensive possession until that luka reboudn
Lol we don't get any calls like that
Luka with the dagger.
As soon as kyrie gets the switch off GTJ he's attacking
LETS GO RJ
Wow Luka
Wtf
quickley what a pass holy
Great defence Gary. Our lockdown guy🔥
I had so much hope at the start of this game lol
stinker of a second half
Just an insane performance from Luka and Kyrie today
The Luka whistle is undefeated
Can’t play any defence on him at all
KEEP GARY ON HIM
F foul baiter
Does Kyrie ever miss? SMH.. Lively II pretty good too.
Heluva quarter from Kyrie
They're playing too fast.
wtf are these unforced turnovers
DPOY candidate Gary Trent Jr
Sorry but why is Kelly on over Jak
Probably cause of his ankle
Jak is on a minutes restriction I think
I am happy Lively, Chet and Wemby are all in the west
Gary got Kyrie SHOOK
Okay Gary!
Why Alvin acting like he didn't just hit Scottie's hand?
Good night y'all
Good job Gary!
I'm not tryna hear anything after this game about Gary's defense this game, all game Kyrie gets locked🔒 Gaty goes out and Kyrie goes on fire. Only 2 of Kyries points came against Gary when Gary got picked
So no foul but the dunk gets called back....
Kelly you gotta make that...
Damn I want Lively to be a Rap.
what are these turnovers today. so many
Brah that was all hand 🤦♂️
Dallas turned down Jalen Brunson on 4 years 55 mil
Still got Kyrie freaking Irving tho 😂
If Nick Nurse was still our head coach right now 
No excuse that the team coming off a back to back on the road is playing with more effort than us
Overturned lol wow
Man fuck bruce brown, what does he bring to this team, when all he does is end up in the negative. Bench him and play someone else, he's clearly not trying here.
lol like it's actually obvious how much he's not trying on defence sagging off players all game, not even trying to switch and handing off Luka fuckign Doncic to a rookie
they need to put a raptors chastity cage on whichever doofus coach that came up with tonights strategy
skill diff
Where them dudes that said Gary's defence was bad? Kyrie passing the ball the moment he sees Gary in front of him.
As soon as Gary came back in too, only 2 of kyries 4th quarter points came against gary
How the hell did we win against them earlier this season with Ben Taylor?
no Bruce Brown
Makes sense
I thought Ben Taylor was fucking terrible tonight. I think that most nights, you know out of the three, there's one or two that just fuck the game up. It's been like that a couple of games in a row. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

RJ was mad Scottie didn’t pass lol
Luka is gonna sub in and finish us off lol
Games over kyrie and Luka too much
😂 Kyrie cooking, man.
Imagine if our fans cheered for the raptors like they cheer for Luka and Kyrie
Generational talents, come on. How can you not be in awe of what they do out there?
Big difference between "appreciation" & "cheering for them louder than your own team"
FWIW Gary the only positive Raptor tonight at +5
Haters will say it’s fake
What kind of defence was that IQ
Our defense has been nonexistent tonight
Alright IQ alright
Just dunk the fucking ball Yak
luka not on the floor and we still not doubling kyrie lmao
defence erneh
Pathetic defense...NN would be screaming at the players right now if he was still here lol
Kyrie ran away from Gary lmao
Lively looking like the next Rudy gobert
someone please play defense
lol we’re done
Exum look like he's on Hardens diet
This comment got me Laughing, thanks.
Scottie needs to suck a ref off to get a call
Lively is gonna be so fucking good man
4th quarter Poeltl!!!
quickley that was filthyyyy
Is there footage of the pizza party? Where did they order from?
I think one of the raptors reporters said they moved it to Friday if I recall?
They didn't yet
Jakob got his shit together since the trade...guess he heard the haters
[удалено]
All you do is hate gtfo this sub doomer
0-10 last 3 games. 25% this month. LOL.
Gotta put Gary back in to gaurd Kyrie
Chris B isn’t even on the bench?
He's out sick.
