Scottie Barnes & Brandon Ingram scored or assisted on 60 of the Raptors' 97 points tonight.

Bro I’m sick of the Cavs. Just be gone!
The Raptors clinch a top-2 seed in the East’s NBA Cup bracket & will host their quarterfinals game on either Dec. 9 or 10. Seeding/opponent are still TBD but they’re likely to face the Heat, Cavs, Knicks, Pistons or Bucks.

They finish the group stage 4-0 with a +55 differential.

It’s so weird to think that BI, Jak and Pascal are from the same draft class.

I also didn’t realize BI was the #2 pick. Ben Simmons at #1 feels crazy now.

Poor Pascal. He has Jak blocking him, BI shooting game winners on him and Scottie putting him in foul trouble.
Jakob Poeltl blocks Pascal Siakam, the Raptors go down the floor and Brandon Ingram hits a jumper with 0.6 seconds left to give the Raptors the lead and eventually, the win.
The Raptors have now won 9 in a row.

Why did Darko start CMB? it makes no sense with Scottie, Jak and CMB on the floor.

Didn’t last long but just give Ja’Kobe the start for some rhythm.

What’d he say after the basket? “I said that’s why I’m here. That’s the cleanest I can say it”

Damn BI…don’t put it like that 🥲
Brandon Ingram on going at Pascal Siakam in crunch time: “I knew he was in foul trouble and I knew he didn’t want to be overly aggressive, so he was at my mercy at that point.”

Raptors were 2-45 when trailing by 10 or more last season, the worst record in the NBA.

They're 5-5 when going down by 10+ this season.

Just finished the Raps game. Damn that was DRAMATIC. felt like it was setting up for death by buzzer beater…even after BI’s great shot. I was so worried they were celebrating too early 😭

I don’t like how Fournier’s finishing looks.

Raven knows how to do a post entry pass
Gamecocks first half:
- Madina Okot is doing what Betts couldn’t, just getting hers off the glass
- Agot Makeer is a bucket in transition
- Looking for Tessa to level up

Final game of NBA Cup group play for Raptors (3-0) tonight. Orlando (3-0) & Detroit (2-0) still have to face each other so only 1 can remain undefeated. Toronto can clinch a top-2 seed & home court in the QF today with a win over Indiana AND a Milwaukee (2-0) loss to Miami (Giannis is questionable).

Damn. Would have been nice if RJ could play against the Knicks. Get well soon.
Raps confirm no structural damage for Barrett. It's a knee sprain and they will re-evaluate in a week.

He’s a trash person. And listening to them praise him is nasty.

Remember about a year ago, the nba reopened their investigation into Hayes after the tmz video came out? More than a year later, has anything even come of that?
