    Sharpe with 14pts 5 boards 3 assists 1 steal (actually 2 they robbed him one to Mays) and 2 blocks and 40% from 3. Not bad. Ayton with a double double including "Yeoman's work" on the glass, and Scoot finally looked like Scoot. Not a bad prediction! I didn't think we would win though! Great to see it!

    I predict Scoot has a breakout game vs Detroit. Calling it now.

    Still haven't reached 100. Lol.

    Man that's such an embarrassing loss for Toronto. Love it.

    Are you serious? Scoot and Sharpe aren’t going to lead the team to wins anytime soon. They are 19 and 20 years old.

    Malcom is the perfect vet for Scoot.

    These guys needed the experience of contributing to a win, especially Scoot but this was also a win with big contributions from Toumani and Jabari as well. Shae has had wins he was a big part of.

    I mean yeah, Brogdon closed this out for us and if the Raptors could have hit open threes at anywhere close to their regular rate we wouldn't have even been in this one... but I'll take it. Wins are going to be hard to come by this season.

    @inconceivable you and your optimism were right sir. Great call!

    Billups needs to do a much better job getting him easy looks. Also saw him posted deep on the block a number of times and didn't get the ball from Grant/Scoot for whatever reason.

    Plus as Scoot gets more comfortable in the pick & roll DA should continue to get more and more easy looks.

    Stats have Jabari with only one block - I'm sure he had at least two and maybe more.

    Our defense was fantastic tonight, and/or the Raptors suck at offense. Looks like Dame would have helped Toronto tonight :P , but also I'm pretty sure I wouldn't trade Dame for Barnes if I was Toronto that kid is talented AF!

    It's the most quality win of the season. It's of the highest quality, as opposed to losing.

    Um, okay. It kinda helps that the Raptors can't shoot for shit.

    Don't agree. They have entirely different skill sets.
