Scottie Barnes and Kawhi at Raptors media day
Man, I want Scottie Barnes on my team.
Barnes and Mobley would be crazy defensively
But we got Barnes and CMB 💪
Barnes and Mobley would be an insane book store.

Barnes and Boyles
Everyone wants Scottie Barnes on their team. You have to get in a long queue
Lmao raptors ain’t letting Scottie go for anything. The traded up to get him for a reason
If u guys took him with the 3rd pick back then…. we would have just switched our players. Suggs would still be 5.
No, Evan Mobley already
I love Ev. I think he and Scottie do things the other can’t (or don’t).
Maybe we’ll see them on Team USA
These two gonna be a real problem
The defense is gonna be off the charts
Season can’t start fast enough
Raptor basketball is so back!
So fucking hyped for this season man. Our defense is gonna be hellaciously good with from the bench unit with Shead, Jakobe,Graves and CMB staggered with Kawhi and Scottie even IQ somewhat hold his own this top 5 defense easily.
Modern day Jordan & Pippen
Maybe they can pick up Jalen Duren as their modern day Dave Corzine.
We have modern Luc Longley, thank you
You can have Jakob Poeltl and RJ Barrett for him
No rj
Poeltl would be an upgrade to how JD performed in the playoffs, and is currently acting.
We just need CMB to go on a one week bender and we have a modern day Rodman
Whose a modern day Carmen Electra? And who do we send to Vegas to retrieve CMB. Scottie or Kawhi.
Modern Day Carmen would be like a Kardashian or Jenner. Maybe Sydney Sweeney.
so excited to see them play
That’s actually tuff
All I see is 2 🐐’s
Bro I’m so HYPED for this season. Success or disaster it feels good to actually have hope and expectations again.
Raptors are stacked with win now AND future potential. They have this 2-3 year Kawhi window, but also have a super young exciting core of Shead, Walter, CMB and Graves.
I think CMB is phenomenal, and Walter can be a great starting shooting guard. Shead is better suited as a defensive specialist bench piece, and who knows with Graves. They’re good pieces but it’s not an elite young core by any stretch.
It’s not the Spurs for sure, but it’s also not like we mortgaged our entire future for the Scottie/Kawhi combo… I think thats what he’s getting at
Shead will be the starting PG once IQs contract expires, and he’ll thrive. Toronto loves undersized bulldog guards. People said the same things about Lowry and FVV when they were young. The NBA has moved away from smaller traditional pass first PGs, but Shead is a throwback to a CP3, Deron Williams or Lowry. ‘By any stretch’ is such silly hyperbole. They’re a top 5 young core, especially defensively.
Man I’m a Toronto fan but this is a lot of homer glaze. Shead has never shown any of the scoring prowess that FVV or Lowry did from the moment they entered the league. I love the guy but I think if they really push the chips in around the trade deadline I can see them going after a starting point guard. Top 5 young core… I can maybe see 5-7 range if you’re including scottie but he’s 25 now so I wouldn’t consider him a young player anymore. Like Spurs, OKC, Utah, Mavs, Washington all clearly have more young talent.
A guy repping australia, using the term ‘glaze’ non-ironically, and being unrelentingly pessimistic in their hyperbole is not the flex you think it is. Im willing to wait and come back to this post when my point is proven correct. You likely aren’t as you just parrot the opinions of pundits and paid clowns.
Realistically what do those knees say tho?
He’s back!!!
Finals runs run potentially
best duo in the league - full stop.
There are interestingly three teams with arguments for having two top 15-20ish players.
All of them are in the Atlantic with the Knicks, Raptors and Sixers.
going to be a LOT of good games, though imo the Sixers’ claim to top players is a little shakier than the other teams
yet they have the most hype starting 5 of all three!
It makes some sense because if it fits and if it’s healthy, talent wise obviously it outstrips everyone else.
But those are very large ifs.
Depending how you feel about Chet or J-Dub you could say the Thunder.
Personally I don’t think either are top 20 players, but I don’t think it’s completely crazy if people do.
I think JDub when healthy could lay claim!
MJ and Pippen
Kawhi in the Terrence Ross fit😭
Imagine the conversations these two are going to have
Can we fast forward to the season plz
Fire me the fuck up
This is all I’ve wanted since I heard Kawhi was coming back 🥲
Kawhi finally back from vacation
Beefy Boyz
Why Kawhi wears these headband, arm band and sleeve all of a sudden?
He was wearing the sleeve at the media day in 2018, maybe he just wanted to add some media day drip
Allen Iverson
AURA
That perimeter defense is going to be lethal
You get a screen to switch off Kawhi…and Scottie is waiting for you…and if you get past him and get to the rim….CMB is waiting for you. Man that’s tiring for the offensive player
that’s the Hw 401 special for you. Lane’s gonna get clogged all day.
Yep. It’s gonna be hell
Dominating Duo! Wish CMB was their too!
mj and pippen. yup. 6 rings starts now.
Shit’s gonna be crazy!!
real humans will glaze this squad then say miami is play in bound
So excited for these 2
If Kawhi had done a shoot like this with SGA maybe the Clippers would have had more success…
His dumb ass and pg13 totally destroyed the future of the clippers along with the front office… kawhi legacy is making the worst team in nba history even worse… 🖕
Cues the Kawhi laugh.
Nahhhh lol
Incoming load management
We started that for Kawhi actually lol.
