Bruno Caboclo, who is now probably only 1 year away from being 2 years away or something, also died for this.

I’m pleasantly surprised at how satisfying their offense is to witness on a fundamental level. Especially after what felt like an eternity of pascal and FVV isos post 2019.

Scottie Barnes has not had a FTA in two games. Sometimes we’ve swung too far towards ethical.

FireFlyz351 | Slovenia

He’s got a bad whistle with the refs I recall he had a handful of games last season with very few FTs.

danielisverycool | Raptors

He doesn’t have great burst so his rim attempts usually don’t have the momentum that inspires foul calls, if that makes sense.

Leafs absorbed all the bad vibes from both teams to concoct a potentially all-time worst season for the team

The fact they might give their pick to Boston (Top 5 protected)? Cherry on top of a malicious sundae.

Darkos gotta be the frontrunner for COTY. Maybe 2nd behind Bickerstaff

CazOnReddit | Raptors

43 | 12 hours ago

It’s probably Darko for now though I think Spo has a good case right now with how the Heat have performed without Herro/their revamped offense

YoungCanadian | Raptors

20 | 10 hours ago

I think Spo’s new system is very apparent for people watching - its coaching that calls attention. They’re overperforming too which is the number 1 predictor.

Plus, he’s gotta win eventually right? Universally liked guy, this season seems like the perfect time - kinda like an actor winning their first Oscar, people are gonna be saying “he’s gotta win at least one”.

Detroit was good last year. Toronto won 30 games. I think it’s a lot closer than you say.

realsomalipirate | Raptors

If the pistons keep up a 60+ win pace it’s not going to be close. It’s far more impressive to go from a good team to a great team versus a bad team to a good team

FuzzyGuarantee2350

10 | 11 hours ago

The only way the pistons win 60 is if they continue their historic run of playing bad teams/teams missing their best players.

grudgepacker | Bucks

You may not be wrong but that doesn’t negate their point either

schoolhater12 | Raptors

I love Darko, but I think it has to be the suns coach. They are supposed to be 10 games under 500, instead they are competing for a playoff spot

IonHazzikostasIsGod | Raptors

They are supposed to be 10 games under 500

Not really? They were a perennial playoff team who fell into the “3 stars and no depth” trap and recovered the second they pivoted

2002 Kings vibes man. Scottie really reminds me of Webber with superior defense.

Maybe there’s no “true #1” on the squad but they’re a “team” team through and through

2002 Kings vibes man. Scottie really reminds me of Webber with superior defense.

Scottie’s been awesome but idk how you compare him to Webber; even if he was great at distributing, CWebb was a PF/C who primarily played interior

Gavin1453 | Raptors

14 | 11 hours ago

Positive post-game vibes can lead to a little bit of exaggeration

CazOnReddit | Raptors

2 | 11 hours ago

Relative to their era since the PF position has evolved a lot since the 00s - not to mention the game of basketball in the NBA

grudgepacker | Bucks

4 | 11 hours ago

I don’t disagree but by extension are we saying Scottie’s a PF/C? Because if so, I don’t agree with that at all

14412442 | Raptors

Well he’s the starting power forward, so I guess he’s a PF

legend023 | Pelicans

They’ve been insanely healthy thus far this year too

Not sure if that’s entirely sustainable but it’s encouraging

CazOnReddit | Raptors

11 | 11 hours ago

Poeltl started the season with a back injury, Ochai is still out dealing with one and i’m pretty sure Walter was out to start due to an illness

We’ve definitely had some luck with health given Ingram’s not known to play 70+ games but we haven’t been some beacon of health

Ok_Respond7928

11 | 11 hours ago

That’s just not true. Jak missed multiple games, Ochai has missed time, CMB has missed multiple games and Mamu has missed time.

legend023 | Pelicans

0 | 11 hours ago

Most of those guys are their bench, and even then they’ve played most of the season

I don’t think there’s been a healthier team in the league thus far, and that’s not a bad thing. The best ability is availability and it’s working to Toronto’s advantage.

chippyjoe

11 | 11 hours ago

Might not look like it but Jakob Poetl is their most important player. They lost 4 in a row or something when he went down or was playing hurt. If he goes down again they’ll go on another losing streak because they have no replacement for him. They probably have at least 2 more wins if he didn’t start the season injured.

Jazzlike_Koala_9566 | Raptors

5 | 11 hours ago

Jakob is our only center dude. The games we lost were with him out or on minutes restriction. We got dominated in the paint by the Bucks, Rockets, Mavs, Sixers and Spurs.

Chief_White_Halfoat | Raptors

4 | 11 hours ago

I agree they’ve been healthy, but I would also point out that for most of this season the team has done wildly better when there have been bench players out there, Mamu and CMB in particular are key they’re two of the 6/7/8 guys along with Shead in the rotation.

FuzzyGuarantee2350

10 | 11 hours ago

They were insanely unhealthy last year so maybe it’s just balancing out. They should have been around a .500 team least season but came out the gates with the roster in shambles and could never recover.

-vinay | Raptors

3 | 10 hours ago

Given the injury luck the past few years, we’re due for a healthy season

Gavin1453 | Raptors

They’ve all been under 35 minutes each game so far which probably helps with that

Good job, Raptors! They are 2nd in the “biggest surprise” category out of the East.

Heat had a game like that a few days ago, where 5 or 6 guys all had at least 4 assists.
