If you want to watch a wide open “Pond Hockey” type of NBA game, this Raptors/Warriors game is just that so far.

So tough to keep up with them. I'm really impressed with the way the bench played against a lineup that had Durant and Thompson, but as soon as Green and Curry came back in they went on such a run.

Words you wouldn't think you'd utter: The Raps are hanging with the Warriors thanks to Pascal Siakam. Balling right now.

Would have liked to seen Siakam put back in down the stretch, Ibaka didn't do much at the end.

I thought they were doing less of the iso stuff this season on offense. Last few minutes have been nothing but that.

Yeah, don't like that play-calling at all down the stretch. Thought that was a foul with Thompson on Lowry on that last possession, but still could have gotten a better look and not left it up to the refs.

So what have we learned so far? Raptors can't beat good teams playing Pound the Rock basketball and they can't beat them at Chuck the Three either.

IMO they lost that game on the possession with just under 2mins and a 5 point lead. They didnt even try to use the clock, rushed a shot and boom..turnover, game momentum is swung.

I cant imagine that Casey would have told them to rush the ball up the court and throw up a quick shot in that situation. Just seemed so dumb to me.

They lost that game because the two ball vacuums - lowry and dd - forgot that ball movement kept them in the game all night.

And Casey refuses to have any accountability for those two.

I definitely had high expectations for Ben Simmons, but I'm still blown away by how good he's been in the first few weeks of the season. And he gets to do it in the relative unknown with ESPN choosing to spend most of it's time reporting on every time Lonzo rips a fart.

They are such a weird team with tons of potential and at the same time tons of injuries. On any given night they could beat anybody. Going forward you have to think they will be very good.

Raptors managed to win in Portland with Bebe being the star which is kinda funny. Though he is good for a couple of good games per year.

Great win against the Jazz (who were previously undefeated at home), solid rebound after that awful Denver game.

The Raptors are such garbage. Down 16 at half because they can’t get their legs moving and are missing 3pt shot after 3pt shot. Finally get a little life after half and are taking it t the paint, get it within 7, start firing these BS 3s again and are back down 13.

Dwayne Casey is a ####ing moron. The Raps bench just played probably the best quarter of basketball I’ve seen all season completely demolishing the Wizards in D and in the paint, get the Wizards second 15 point lead of the night back down to 4, and this clown removes them from ththe game to put JV, Ibaka, and Derozan back out there to play zero defence and take Soft perimeter shots. Wizards back up 8 within less than a minute.

Unbelievable!! Done watching tonight. Bad call by Casey. They came back and down by 3 and you took all 5 of the guys who made it happened. I can see DeRozan coming in for CJ Miles because he wasn't doing anything. Replacing VanVleet, Siakam and Noguerra?? Why???
