These are the type of comments that I was alluding to yesterday @samfolkk. It's good to provide analysis but when you don't give context this is what happen.Who was on the court with RJ when he won those mins?Were the line upshas players that was more offensive/ defense slanted?

What was RJ's usage + effective field goal % for the 1st 5 games BI was on the court and ehat was it for the last 2 games? Who were the primary natch up or defenders on RJ games 1-5 and 6-7. I like your analysis but I would like more context.

Look at this.Tell me how many "star players who won a chip in the last 20 yrs were bad D players?The two that I know of Steph Curry+in 2019 after GS lost to Raps he used that series as a reflection point to get better. Brundon who literally had to have so many defnse around him.
Replying to @eepdllc @samfolkk
2/3 all stars, and borderline all stars aren’t impactful defensive playmakers. The NBA still revolves around offense in regard to its “star” players. It’s why there are only like 5 truly impactful players on both sides of the ball. They’re very special players indeed.

Look at the lies. SB allowed OG ! Kat to go by him twice in the 4Q b/c he had 5 fouls w/8 mins to go. It's not like your boy RJ who was getting back door cuts alk night by Bridges and making dumb reads on offense b/c he wanted to score by any means necessary. Go cheer for Knicks.
You dudes aren’t going to talk about Scottie getting blown by multiple times?

Imagine this from a Heat fan. Without @Klow7 you all wouldn't even have a top 5 seed much less the #1 seed in 2021-22 when he dragged Miami to wins with G-Leaguers while Bam, Hero + Jimmy sat. Davion Mitchell can't even sniff Kyle's worst yr as bb player.

Look RJ's stan. Perhaps he should watch CMB college tape. He just wasn't ask to do that last season and was in&out of the line up due to injuries.CMB is a high bb iq player,a good play maker who is a bully driver &definitely can produce paint pts with better efficency than RJ.
Replying to @Whi2Ximes
I’m a fan of CMB. But, he hasn’t shown any downhill scoring proficiency. Great playmaking is crazy. He’s smart, and has good hands, so I’m not saying he can’t grow in that department. He hasn’t shown it though. Desiring these things happen doesn’t equate to the comparable.

This is what NBA fandom has become. Don't even bother look qt anything other #s or show clips. Mind you this was in reference to a player who was 2nd in MVP voting and a DPOY that season.

Is comment like this that makes you wonder if some people in Raps' fan base a. knows anything about the game and b. why some of us, including me don't have any qualms if RJ gets traded. At least we will get rid of personnel like this who spew hate+ garbage towards SB.
Replying to @OwnedByToronto
Atleast he was a better perimeter defender than Scottie in the playoffs. Thats a big step. He put the clamps on harden and even held his own guarding 1-5 when he had to guard Allen for multiple games. He’s capable of pretty solid defense

Using selective data to say this should get you banned from @Raptors fan base. Do you want to know why Allen suddenly found out he was a big in gm 7 and cooked RJ? RJ was horrible on Harden in gm 1 which led to Darko turning SB and CMB to take on Harden +DMitch at the POA
Replying to @RaptorsNationCP
RJ guarded Harden better than anyone on Tor . He doesn’t have to be an All NBA defensive player, IMO. If he just defends in the playoffs as he has in every playoff series he’s been in, Tor can get to the Finals.

This is a really crazy take.
Best 2 way player in the league without question! He was robbed of an all defensive 1st team. Now his offensive game has reached new heights. Superstar status, he will be an all-star this year.

The most delusional fan base in the league. SB was the 2nd best defender itl last season. Of the 3 players here, he is the best 2 way player. As an OG @Raptors fan I've watched both players for years. If OG was half the player SB is now Masai wouldn't trade him. #delusional
If he isn’t at least All NBA 3rd team, All Defense 1st team, and an All Star this year, then we riot!! He would have been all of those if not for the NY tax from the national media! They love Scottie Barnes and the Thompson twins, but won’t give OG his flowers!

This. A healthy @Sixers team who was #4 to win the chip and hwalthy @Bucks with MVP Giannis who was favored to vome out the East.Let's not forget Raps was the under dog even with KD out. Name 1 team who faced a healthy team on their way to the chip? How many real contenders?
Replying to @RaptorsShaq
Everyone who makes the argument about the golden state thing is annoying. We defeated the stacked 76ers… and the bucks who were so dominating just to get to the finals…. We had the hardest run to get to the finals… and then we beat the giant!

Believe me when I said this person is the most delusional "Canadian NBA fan" I 've seen on this app. I am wondering if hesaw the defensive schemes @Pacers used on Shai? Even this pass playoffs the defensive coverage Shai had all playoffs far exceeded what Brunson experienced.

Tagging @ScottBarnes561 another disrespect this off season. The media and @NBA fans think your team is not good enough and got lucky last season. Time to elevate your game + show that what you and the team did in the playoffs wasn't a fluke. I believe in you + the crew.

The word "elite" n basjet ball is do over used in a bad way. If Peyton was an elite defender @Denver would have been much better defensive team over the yrs & perhaps would have paid him.
Bad, bad take. Holy undersell. Watson is an almost elite defender. And can cut to the basketball physically unlike Strus/Wade. Their weakness is playable depth EVERYWHERE. They have 6 guys, 1 MEH, and the rest are Double G League players

In all my time watching Nuggets I don't see Watson defending well enough to be a perimeter defender holding down a team who is already devoid of good oetimtet defrnders. He has size but he doesn't use it well on the defensive end.
Huge acquisition for the Cleveland Cavaliers who have desperately needed an athletic up-and-down wing who can defend. Tough losing Max Strus, but a necessary subtraction to address this.

Scottie Barnes Contract, Salary & Cap Hit 2026 | Spotrac spotrac.com/nba/player/_/id/…. He is making less than many talented players in the league. His game has grown each year and he hasn't hit his prime.He played lije a 1A vs @cavs . Bb is more than box scores; SB has shown us that.

This is how other fan bases see Tempo. They don't talk about Portland Fire, another expansion team like this. The Ls are one thing but as a Tempo fan I need to see the players play with fire and fight like they did tonight for most of the gm.
game made me want to pull my hair out for most of it & Toronto is a disaster but you take any win you can get with Jess and Azzi out. second half encouraging for Paige but man i’m waiting for that MVP caliber performance. brutal 3-game stretch coming up, don’t feel great about it
