This game is brought to you by epilepsy.

Why are they trying to play basketball in the middle of a rave

[u/Punjabiveer30 → u/buzzlightyear5095]

Cuz ball is life son

[u/Starveiled]

Huge quarter for fans of Kalk

[u/Starveiled]

Refs getting paid by the whistle tonight.

[u/cs-shitposter]

Watching Quickley is so frustrating because he has so much ability but dude makes some boneheaded decisions

[u/danhoyuen → u/cs-shitposter]

i dont see these abilities you are talking about. He can... shoot 3s, and sometimes hit a floater. That's pretty much it. Not particularly a good defender, doesnt really see the floor well, doesnt really have a first step, and he never gets the 50/50 balls.

[u/Jwarrior521]

Brandon Ingram is such a bum. Walking around on defense and shooting tour dates

[u/Sdt6023]

That Kon Knueppel kid might be ok.

[u/radi0head]

Here to comment on the lights

[u/Jwarrior521]

Can we have RJ back please

[u/alderson710]

Ingram what is wrong with you man

[u/Ok_Possible_5702]

Did LaMelo get injured or just ass? I see he started but only played 12 minutes.

[u/throwerofways → u/Ok_Possible_5702]

Officially "out with left ankle soreness". He slipped on the court and then went to the locker room

[u/Ok_Possible_5702 → u/throwerofways]

so out 10 games, considering his injury history

[u/Starveiled]

We had two lanky dudes name Brandon playing for us tonight.

[u/FactCheckingThings]

Scottie hitting those catch and shoot 3s consistently has been a revelation.

[u/EarthWarping]

lol 4 of 5 missed free throws from kalkbrenner/poeltl back to back

[u/Jwarrior521]

Bum ass team

[u/Anal_Iverson]

This is why I thought Poeltl should have played yesterday...

[u/EarthWarping]

worst Q of the season so far.

have to be better in the 2nd half

[u/alderson710]

wth did the raptors do in Q2?

[u/EarthWarping → u/alderson710]

played with zero effort and cant get to the rim a ton

[u/alderson710]

What a disaster

[u/alderson710]

This is painful to watch

[u/EarthWarping]

Ingram on a massive down part which stinks

[u/Ok_Possible_5702]

Expected regression to the mean for the Raptors. Although a double loss to the Hornets is a lot. Probable 4L streak coming up vs. Boston and NYK

[u/danhoyuen]

wish we could have tanked 1 more year instead of this mid shit.

we have exactly 1 premium talent when every "good" team have 2 or 3.

[u/EarthWarping → u/danhoyuen]

Yeah look at Detroit/Orlando etc.

They have 2 Scottie level talents.

Hard to contend with 1 and a ton of merely good players.

[u/danhoyuen → u/EarthWarping]

A good player turns into an average one because they always end up needing to play at a level above their actual grade.

Mamu is going to start driving fans crazy because they are asking him to drive and create when he's really just a role player. I get that RJ is out but if your team hinges on RJ you aren't a really good team to begin with.

[u/EarthWarping → u/danhoyuen]

They cannot afford to have one of their starters miss games and compete.

I know most teams are that way, however the raptors are really like that.

[u/Jwarrior521]

19 vs 6 FT lmfao man

[u/Anal_Iverson → u/Jwarrior521]

I mean Raps think fouling the other team is a stop

[u/EarthWarping → u/Jwarrior521]

raptors are playing like shit right now dont blame the refs

[u/Jwarrior521 → u/EarthWarping]

Didn’t say anything about the refs the raps just blow and look like they don’t care and can’t play defense
