Game Day: Raptors (23-28) @ Suns (26-25), Mon 1/30/23

Dario was cooking, why take him out?

Monty tends to take dudes out in the middle of hot streaks. It's weird.

If only Jeremy was here to read that...

He'd be finding a way to give Ayton credit for Bridges playing so well.

Ayton unlocks Bridges

Siakim fuckin sucked tonight

[INFORMER]

[The Bobster]

22 points, 13 rebounds tonight

[Split T]

Had some big rebounds down the stretch too… I still think his defense has majorly regressed but tonight he played a good game

That DA put back was the difference maker I felt like. Good for him.

Mikal looking like Durant out there lately with the jump shots. Love to watch him evolve.

[Drewsprocket]

Raptors need DeRozen back and they’d be scary good. I like a lot of their roster but they need a real connector to put it all together. They’re a team of fantastic role players with perhaps one star.
Reminds me of our roster now with a clapped out CP3.

International night against the Toronto Raptors. A bit on the nose, no?

Seeing as they're the only International team in the Association, I don't think it's an accident. Also, I heard a lot of our friends from the North in attendance.

[Superbone]

Crowd booing Ayton for going up soft and blowing a bunny.

I don't know if I've ever been so angry at Ayton for the entirety of a game. He was embarrassing himself out there as he would never block out his man and the Raps got offensive board after offensive board. If Ayton hadn't got that tip in in crunch time, I may have never forgiven him.

[Superbone]

These Raptors seem like a bad team, like a whole that is less than the sun of the parts. They seem all out of sorts. They can't stop Bridges or Ayton.

So YOU'RE the one that woke them up.

[Superbone]

Mikal > OG

I wasn't impressed with OG tonight. He was like the invisible man out there and did literally nothing.

[Superbone]

It’s comical how much Ayton refuses to dunk it lol

Wide open down the middle, just throw it down dude lol

7:40 left in the 1st quarter: DA’s most ridiculous non-dunk of his career?

It was something. Just unacceptable.

<sigh> At the very least, he actually dunked the ball a couple times later in the game.

[Split T]

If you just watched the 2nd half like I did, Ayton was ok tonight

[Superbone]

Why would DA fade away from 3 feet after an offensive rebound while guarded by Scotty Barnes?

Do you really have to ask?

[Superbone]

What the heck is this halftime show I’m getting on league pass with Bill Walton? Is anyone else seeing this?

No, what was it? This is the second time it was mentioned in this thread.

[Uncle_Gene]

Okay, Ayton made me think twice about a trade for Siakam for a night.

Great win, Suns.

[Superbone]

I love that Toronto has zero fear of Aytons paint presence.

When he’s playing like this, there’s no reason to have any

PATHETIC!!!

[Superbone]

Is that Earl Watson on the raptors bench? Didn’t know he was on the staff

Yes it was.

[Superbone]

First to 100…

Not us.

[Superbone]

Need Bridges to take over

Ask and you shall receive.
