the rockets play offense like five cousins kissing
New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where @vivekmjacob.bsky.social joins me to talk about how the Raptors' clutch time & against-good-teams issues
🏀It's time to lean more on Scottie late
🏀The grim numbers behind the Do Something Brandon offense
🏀How this version of RJ can help

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where I take stock of a suddenly tight and compelling race for the 5 & 6 seeds in the East
🏀5 weeks of March & April hoops that matter? Kinda rocks!
🏀The Raptors have a chance to prove they're in fact good
🏀RJ's resurgence & more!

how can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad, Jake
New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where it's become painfully clear, if it wasn't already, that the Raptors are asking too much of Jamal Shead.
🏀No matter what happens, this summer needs to be the end of years of devaluing guard play
🏀The suddenly tight race for the Top-6

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where @trillbrodude.bsky.social joined to play a stupid little game called: Who's Better? It's as simple as it sounds.
🏀Scottie or Chet as a DPOY candidate?
🏀CMB or Derik Queen long term?
🏀Raptors or Lakers / Sixers / Hornets?
Fun one!

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where I dug into another loss to the Knicks, who are just much better than the Raptors.
🏀Progress against the good teams, yes. But not enough.
🏀Why it's good that the Raps' flaws have been laid bare repeatedly
🏀Starters humming & much more

glad I put in the "half quarter" qualifier here because letting bridges loose for that lob was absolutely crippling
as good a half quarter as RJ has played in a Raptors uniform
there's undeniably been some progress re: the raptors hanging with good teams. problem is they were so decidedly not hanging with them before that there's still some gap to make up.
finding a lot of solace in how much ass the raptors starters are whipping
raps have done an okay job bouncing back up after some big time wallops from the knicks but man it's just oh so many wallops
raptors starting five: +12
every other lineup: -23
raps starters just keep on being very good at scoring
Samuel rules, and is trying to break the rim every time he dunks (which is more or less every shot he takes)
New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where @vivekmjacob.bsky.social ask the question: is this the night the Raps finally beat the Knicks?
🏀They're gonna have to figure out how to score on NYK...
🏀Cavs or Knicks in round one?
🏀Our ideal 1-8 East bracket

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social where I went solo to talk about the Raptors falling to Wemby in a hell of a game.
🏀Why this game reminded me of a loss to OKC in 2014
🏀Learning the hard way: it's the only way
🏀4th Q issues, weird lineup choices, JAK BACK(!) and more!

ahhhh and we may be in for The Coward's Ploy Pt. 2: 2 Cowardly 2 Play It Straight Up.
just the way I like my thrilling banger of a game to end: strategic free throws
ahh, the spurs with The Coward's Ploy up 3...
wemby arms long
next all star we need to see scottie v. wemby in a game of HORSE, but its with defensive plays
simply has to be more to the late game offense than draining the clock trying to get it to Ingram in the post every time down
think going shead-quickley is the right call here
no IQ, Barnes or Ingram on the floor to start the 4th trying to hold a lead against the 41-16 team led by the french god of limbs is a bit of strong choice
raps being crazy physical with wemby and its kinda working but i'm a little worried they're poking the 7'5 french bear
love to plagiarize
raps up at the half despite shooting 28.6% at the rim and taking only 18% of their looks there
fun half of hoop that
