Darko was hired as a player development coach and for that he has done an amazing job. Look at Gradey, Jakob, RJ, Ochai improvements since last year. Keep going Raps!!
Exactly. and yet some people in this comment section from previous games want Darko fired. Insane takes. Whether is directly him or the coaching staff as a whole, they have unlocked something with this group of players. Whether it be the starters in RJ, Scottie, Grady and Jack (Hopefully IQ comes back soon too), the bench guys like Boucher, Ochai, Davion, and the rookies with Mogbo, Shead and Battle. Almost every single player has exceeded expectations this season. Imagine if we can trade Bruce/Kelly for even more players that actually contribute to winning... Raps are in a GREAT position right now, and that is thanks to Darko and his staff.
Clearly the Raptors’ synergy is one of the factors that they’re playing so much better now than last season. Love the energy & enthusiasm. Their records don’t actually show how good they are. Raptors are truly fun to watch this year. Let’s go, Raptors! 👏👏👏 #WeTheNorth🏀🇨🇦
That's because he's taking more shots than he's ever have,at 19.3 but his fg% is at 43% and 3 point% is at 33%. Around what he's always been in his career, The only difference is the amount of shots he's taking.
To be fair, these aren’t interviews. Yes, the questions could be more original but most are sports journalists and I feel for them at times, having to ask the same question in a different way every single game.
alot of them ask questions to lead to a specific set of words they can quote the player as saying, specially in print. leads to alot of moronic questions overall which I could imagine is annoying for some of these dudes.
@@smz257 Yes, its the most annoying when the interviewer then goes to the next player and says so-and-so said this previously, like they are tight, when its just a forced answer.
Davion Mitchell needs to slow the ball down when it gets to his fingers on his shots. He's quick flicking his shots and it's rushing his touch, needs to feel the follow through better.
@@fringe_minority ya, and he make some smart plays and passes. but his defence can't be taught at this stage and he already has it. the offence will come
The season is not even a third over, lots of time to catch that 6th post which is only 3 wins away. Raps beat a championship aspirations team last night - f@ck losing, "just win baby!". This team reminds me of when they traded Rudy Gay and thought they were (rebuilding) and BAM!!!! Multi consecutive play-off appearances which turned into a Championship. This teams hustles, plays hard and inspired, plays with confidence, adjusts well in game, no selfish players with expectations of where and when they play, everyone has a leaders mentality, they can run other teams to exhaustion like they last night to MInny. So much can go wrong waiting hopefully with fingers crossed for a draft pick, when the opportunity presents its self as "now". Humans think they have it figured out (lose, get Flagg, get a championship), how's that working so far with the Leafs who waited for Matthews? If you get top pick for 2025, IF, will they fit on the team? Will they be a bust? Will they be OK, but not up to expectation? Will they take a few years to take off? Will they be a soft twinkie mayonnaise injury case? Will they have a bad attitude? Did they peak in college? Will your current team stay healthy so the plans gets played out? So many hurdles - 16 games have been played, that's it! Lets go get it! Strike while the iron is hot! ..we'll see what Flagg is worth the next three vs formidable opponents.
Love Rj still wearing that jersey after the game he definitely loves it
if we ever trade him imma stop being a fan RJ here for life, has to be done
@peachulemon likewise, when Rj was traded I stopped caring about the Knicks

Ochai shut down Edward’s
imagine if we still had nurse. yikes
@@RyansCraftHUBis 26 points on 45/55 splits shutting him down?
Giving Darko credit for RJs work is crazy 😂

It's crazy how people were saying that RJ was a throw-in in that OG trade. He's playing like an All-star out there
Scottie is way ahead of his years. Lucky to have him. Loves his teammates, loves his team.
Love this team; Darko does not get enough credit for the improvement of a # of players! RJ will be an all star...
100%

Rj works so well with scottie, hes been playing so well but scottie makes him efficient
Love the RJ&Scottie combo. This team is fun to watch!
RJ is a beast but also looks like he is having fun out there. Love his humour
even on a minutes restriction Scottie impacts winning
love how rj always speaks French in his interview
Scottie with the sharingan 🥷🏼
RJ KIDDING ME?!!! let the boys run! love this win for them!
SO FUN TO WATCH GUYS!!
Lets gooooo chef darkooooo
Great win Great team effort .❤
Lets gooooo raptors 👏 watchout NBA we comin
Nice win
These interviewers sucking the energy out of the room as usual 😒
some of the questions, besides being obvious and leading, are also poorly stated.

RJ and Scotty can’t wait for you to be in the all star game together!! Best of luck and keep scrappin’
Scottie is talking through the plays more directly and with less searching. He's processing rights now
Beating the Timberwolves❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Davion Mitchell needs to slow the ball down when it gets to his fingers on his shots. He's quick flicking his shots and it's rushing his touch, needs to feel the follow through better.
but defensively he is very good
I really like Mitchell as a PG, hopefully shooting will come for him
@@fringe_minority ya, and he make some smart plays and passes. but his defence can't be taught at this stage and he already has it. the offence will come
@@renegadechoiralso even if the offence doesn’t come having a defensive specialist as your backup point guard is still a plus
I want the draft pick, but it's impossible to cheer against these guys. Love what I'm seeing from our squad.
YEAH YEAH! 🦖🦖🦖🦖
3:39 moments like that on court biuld team chem
New yorkers currently punching air watching RJ ball out
I like rj
Love that new Raptor jersey. I don’t like the claw in the basketball logo. It should always be the Raptor

Darko would LOVE Egor Demin
Anybody still wish we had OG rather that RJ and Immanuel Quickley?
