That floor spacing was nasty as hell especially without IQ. Grady had a decent game and I truly think Shead needs to be our backup PG.

[FourOn]

He was playing in units with Shead .Boucher .Fernando and Mitchell.disgusting roster

They should have positioned Immanuel Quickley (IQ) at the top, with Gradey Dick and Jamison battle in the corners, while Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl worked in the middle. This setup would have opened up the lanes and allowed them to effectively break down the zone defense.

Scottie will okay. Mobley is just a different type of breed defensively. I never saw the raptors beating us not even the slightest chance you guys are rebuilding. A promising core too. IQ going down sucked to see I love his game and what he brings to the raptors. You can see the difference he makes when he’s out there. You guys missed RJ as well. Scottie, RJ, & iQ complement eachother well. Now it’s time to keep adding those complimentary pieces like Shaeds and more. Also I would like to see the Raptors go and get a center who can make a difference in the paint and stretch the floor. Really wish Flip landed there but he ended up in Utah. Gonna be fun watching IQ level up as the season goes on

They really missed Rj barrett last night

On to the next. First day at full time. No one knocks it out on the first day of starting a new position. Need that full squad. Tempered expectations. This is also a learning moment for the fans and podcasters, to chill and learn to watch the development of the coach, team, and individuals.

That's not the Scottie Barnes I've watched for the last 3 seasons. I'm fine with forgetting about that one and moving on.

[minecraftmotivation]

one problem with scotty is if he's not feeling the jumper early he'll lay off and end with 12 shots like tonight. Would love to see him keep firing especially against a tough interior defense

[arkinsam]

limited offensive moves is what I saw in Scottie's game last night...no shot creation for himself to draw defense and make it easier for his team to is his what 3rd or 4th year? he's got to develop more shot creation off the dribble

[deanebona]

I think they need to make more plays out in the perimeter. Also, rebounding needs to be better defensively and offensively!

[C--C]

It was 5 on 1 with the support he had man.

[yohsephcassidy]

keep runnin boys! dont stop, keep going, its gonna be ugly, thats not the point. get up, keep going!! thxz for the reality check Es

[deanebona]

I believe Darko we will need to switch up the starting lineup more to find a balance

[aquamarine]

Bad game from Scottie, but the lack of quality depth and reliable outside shooters killed us. With all the injuries, we've basically got starters and third stringers, and that's it.

Ochai was impressive, tho'. He needs to play with good players, whereas Gradey can probably do well with bench units. We'll see who starts when RJ returns. But either way, Gradey gets 25-30 mpg.

Guys, y’all are rebuilding. This season will make Scottie a better player. I’d like Scottie more if he didn’t steal ROY from my GOAT Evan Mobley

[DriveLapseCA]

Bench him! Misses misses misses both the current game live and Wednesday's game! Bench!!!

[itsquiwi]

your can ignore all scotty mastakes all you want but saying his team is the main reason he looked bad when he chose to hold the ball forever and try and use his very limited offensive game against one of the best defenders call his daddy aka mobley

[johnhamilton]

Scottie benefits from having Barrett and IQ on the floor. When the defense focuses on him as the only option it's easy to scheme against him. He will figure it out getting used to being the first option.

[daniel.kipfermilverton]

I might be an old head here but if you are horrible in the game don’t come to the press conference all dolled up. Wear your uni or whatever. It’s just a bad look.
