[CorrectCrusader]

Could have a large impact on the raptors pick conveying or not.

GSG

[Robz4000]

Tonight we are all Raptor fans.

[LeBowen]

Tonight we are all Raptor fans.

And the Spurs will inevitably disappoint us yet again.

[CorrectCrusader]

And the Spurs will inevitably disappoint us yet again.

:rollin:rollin:rollin

[slick'81]

Who will out tank who tonight?!

[CorrectCrusader]

Wemby decided to go ham tonight I see

[Russ]

Spurs 8-0.

Emergency . . .

All hands on deck. :lol

[TekXX]

I mean i know it's possible that the Raps could tank another 3 years but they can keep the pick this year in this draft.

[poopbox]

Of course Julian fucks up a simple pass

[poopbox]

Probably the first time Sochan been doubled in his career :lol

[CorrectCrusader]

Every offensive possession that doesn't run through wemby is absolutely braindead lol

[TekXX]

Are the white leggings good for anything or is it a fashion choice?

[LeBowen]

Not sure if Jeremy or Melo...
What's with those sleeves and headband all of a sudden?

[poopbox]

Hell nah at that pass by Victor :wow

[heyheymymy]

Love the platinum lineup

Jones
Vassell
Johnson
Sochan
Wembanyama

[thiste]

9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks in 6 minutes. Not too shabby.

[Frenchfred]

compression is good for blood flow so muscle recovery

[r0drig0lac]

Raps wants that pick, they play way below their talent, that's definitely intentional.

[Frenchfred]

the tank commander in the game, we should be okay with another loss

[scott]

In a must lose game, it's good to see Zach chucking up 3s early. Need some major Branham minutes tonight.

[scott]

Grady Dick is a rich man's Cedi Osman

[heyheymymy]

TOR has the Jayhawk duo out together

Dick and Agbaji both played together at Kansas

[AusSpur]

We have to stop Dick's penetration.

[PhantomDashCam]

I assume in workouts/scrimmages Zach Collins must be a deadeye P’n’P 3 Pt specialist from the top…

[TekXX]

Raps wants that pick, they play way below their talent, that's definitely intentional.

You're probably overrating their talent. I doubt there's a NBA player that exists that would play bad to please a front office.

[Frenchfred]

Raps wants that pick, they play way below their talent, that's definitely intentional.

if they get it, they should be better next year so the Spurs could have it in a better draft in 2025, probably has more trade potential as well.

[heyheymymy]

Zollins All World tank defender GOAT

[TekXX]

That Dick is nailing it.

[heyheymymy]

Wes officially turned the corner yet?

been looking great the last month plus or so

[poopbox]

Pop playing Wesley and Branhim at the same time :lmao

Collins legit let Olynk WALK from the 3 point line to the rim :lmao

[AusSpur]

Collins ticking off his three trademark plays already:

1. Clank a wide open three-pointer
2. Drops rebound
3. Turnstile defence

[LeBowen]

Idk how can anyone say Wesley improved his finishing...

[poopbox]

They called that foul on RJ only cause they missed that blatant travel by Olynyk

[PhantomDashCam]

Wes officially turned the corner yet?

been looking great the last month plus or so

I think he has. Seized his opportunity when it was available and shows no signs of slowing down.

[Rosewood]

RJ Barrett has such a stupid look on his face anytime the camera pans to him.

[Mugen]

Goddamnit. They should have benched Wemby this game.

[LeBowen]

Tbh, if Raptors are going to play like this for the rest of the season, this game doesn't change much.

[Spurs Brazil]

Those Wemby passes WOW

[Dejounte]

Idk how can anyone say Wesley improved his finishing...

I dont know how you can say nothing when he has two good finishes and then be keyboard-trigger happy right when he misses one.

[thiste]

14 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, +17 in 10 minutes. Unreal.

[LeBowen]

I dont know how you can say nothing when he has two good finishes and then be keyboard-trigger happy right when he misses one.

He just randomly threw it off the glass on that transition attempt.

[TekXX]

Is Dan Weiss Bill Lands successor?

[Pauleta14]

In 10'23" Victor has,,,

14 pts 5/6
4 rbds
5 ast
2 stl
3 blks
:lol

[Frenchfred]

14 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, +17 in 10 minutes. Unreal.

could potentially go for a triple double

[Pauleta14]

Victor MUST be our futur starting PG

Imagine the fun... :lol

[Rosewood]

This dude Wemby man. Unreal that we got him.

[BatManu20]

Wemby shitting on these dinosaurs so far. Gonna be a blowout victory tbh. Should’ve sat out starters this game smh.

[r0drig0lac]

5x5 tonight for Wemby

[TekXX]

Hey guys stop fighting, we're getting the win on this road trip, just lay back and enjoy it....watch out for dick.

[BatManu20]

Wemby over Jakob :wow

[TekXX]

Wemby be kind to Purtle, he was a bright spot in the "wasted years".

[thiste]

You can't dunk from there

[heyheymymy]

always looks like Victor mis timed his move until that multi jointed spider appendage limb unfurls additional forearm length and he finishes the play successfully.

there was a rebound some other game a while back where Wemby was out of position for a rebound with the opponent between him and the rim and Vic unfurls that freak show long arm and plucks the rebound from around the opposing player like stretch Armstrong.

[BatManu20]

God Branham just sucks

[LeBowen]

Where does Collins even get the confidence to try and take Jakob off the dribble and then attempt a reverse finish?
He saw Wemby do it?

[thiste]

I think if he has any brain cells he should've realized by now that there are a lot of things Wemby does that he can't do :lol

[SPURt]

Nice to see Vassell eating on open shots with Wemby in

[Pauleta14]

The day Victor gets a pick and roll partner it'll be unfair

(so frustrating to watch in the mean time)

[spurraider21]

well then... spent the last hour putting 1 kiddo down to sleep and then moving on to take care of the other sick kiddo

seems like i missed a good half :lol

[Rosewood]

The statline is only showing Wemby with 1 steal. I swear I saw at least 3 :lol

[Frenchfred]

The statline is only showing Wemby with 1 steal. I swear I saw at least 3 :lol

he has 2 on ESPN

[KingKev]

As a Toronto native these two organizations are definitely banging eachother on the low. This lil thing of theirs straight yp turning me into a conspiracist.

[Frenchfred]

Wemby is playing great but his TOs, jeez

[CorrectCrusader]

When tf did Poeltl learn to shoot free throws?

[CorrectCrusader]

Why do these idiots keep challenging wemby?

[SPURt]

7 blocks, keep doing what you’re doing Raps

[LeBowen]

The fuck are Raptors even trying, lmao.

[Raven]

quad-double ?

[AusSpur]

Discovering that Jones is terrible at setting up Wemby in the half court.

Every time he uses Wemby in a pick and roll screen, he kicks out to the 3-pointer shooter, rather than looking to set Wemby up.

And when Wemby is in the post he refuses to pass it until he walks out toward him near the three point line.

On the break Jones is great at setting him up.

[LeBowen]

Kind of ridiculous that Barnes is an all-star, nowhere near that level.
Typical East.

[thiste]

19 points, 8 rebounds, 7 blocks, 5 assists, 2 steals

[AusSpur]

He has a 5-by-5 is we count his 6 turnovers

[CorrectCrusader]

Yeah Tre doesn't know where wemby will be so he just passes out instead of inside. That needs to be developed

[PhantomDashCam]

Raptors commentators are losing their minds over Wemby…
”Incredible thing to witness this guy in person…”. League is on notice.

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan loves to hump the floor

[PhantomDashCam]

Kind of ridiculous that Barnes is an all-star, nowhere near that level.
Typical East.

He’s been poor tonight but has had a great year. I think he has a legit shot at an Olympic team spot too.

[thiste]

Wemby was never hyped. It was just the truth.

[poopbox]

The Hammer play :wow

I nutted :cry

[CorrectCrusader]

Wemby won't have a chance at a quad double because the rockets are playing so bad... lol

[Robz4000]

Wemby won't come back into this game tbh.

[TekXX]

where's drake?

[Dejounte]

That block was definitely a goaltend by Wemby lmao

[Mr. Body]

Barnes is an All-Star. Sochan is guarding him really well.

[Raven]

... this guy

[Spurs Brazil]

It’s the Wemby show

[Frenchfred]

I really hope that he gets his triple double with 10 blocks

[thiste]

Everyone in that arena got their money's worth.

[Arcadian]

He should go for the quad double!

[Pauleta14]

23 min - 23 pts - 11 rbds - 5 ast - 9 blks - 2 stl - 80% shooting (2/3 3pts)

[mudyez]

Come on! 1 more block and 3 TOs and we are witnessing a quadruple double. :rolleyes

[SPURt]

Branham cooking Meaty Dick

[baseline bum]

What a finish through Dick by Branham!

[Silentbob]

just 1 more block for wemby before he sits out the rest of the 4th

[spurraider21]

wemby just carelessly hunting for blocks and assists right now tbh :lol

[BatManu20]

Wemby’s teammates are so ass :lol

[spurraider21]

keldon with the cock block

[lefty]

That nikka We,by can also pass like Magic Johnson :lol


wtf

[Silentbob]

wemby with the cock block for the trip dub!

[Raven]

players legitimately giving up on life lmao... what a game

[BatManu20]

There’s Wemby’s Triple-Dub.

[baseline bum]

wemby with the cock block for the trip dub!

Dick doesn't have a vertical

[Arcadian]

:lol I can't believe Gradey Dick attempted that shot. It's like he was trying to help Victor get the 10th block

[spurraider21]

Dick doesn't have a vertical
ive heard girth matters more than length

[thiste]

He got it!! Pop's probably gonna sit him now

[lonrot]

We are very lucky :bobo

[mudd]

This win is going to hurt!

[poopbox]

10 block triple dub for Victor :cry

I nutted again :wow

[Pauleta14]

THIS is entertaining af :lol

Devin Magic Vassell for Vic who keeps writting history!!!

[SPURt]

Of all the games to lose, this is the one and of course the Spurs dominate

[ginobilized]

Another triple double for Wemby!!!

That first Quadruple Double is gonna be sweet. Might be this season. Assists are going to be hard with these knuckleheads.

[spurraider21]

:lol I can't believe Gradey Dick attempted that shot. It's like he was trying to help Victor get the 10th block
like favre taking the fall for strahan

[Darius Bieber]

Still not exactly sure what Graham did to Pop and the Front Office to be wasted on the bench all season

[baseline bum]

ive heard girth matters more than length

A Dick with neither will never finish at the rim

[Tyronn Lue]

Dick doesn't have a vertical


ive heard girth matters more than length
Quality

[Barfunk]

Damn, Wemby with 10 blks!

[Tyronn Lue]

Victor is going to turn a quad double eventually.

[Mr. Body]

Still not exactly sure what Graham did to Pop and the Front Office to be wasted on the bench all season

Spurs front office doesn't like drunk drivers. Wait.

[thiste]

This is the mother of all garbage times

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs front office doesn't like drunk drivers. Wait.

[spurraider21]

A Dick with neither will never finish at the rim
he shriveled up there when he saw wemby

[Raven]

think the guy shitting himself in front of wemby, then going for another shot just to have his soul raped, is the best highlight of the season and his #1 argument for DPOY

[heyheymymy]

27/14/5/2/10

LEGEND

[Robz4000]

Wemby gud.

[Raven]

also noteworthy was jeremy putting barnes in his pocket.

[lefty]

Already better than Michael Jorpoker

[itzsoweezee]

Unreal

[baseline bum]

he shriveled up there when he saw wemby

Definitely high bust potential with Dick

[CorrectCrusader]

Notable, Julian only had 10 minutes

[Tyronn Lue]

I was visiting the Raptors forum. They were having fun with Dick. "put dick in" and "Dick fills an important hole"

[ace3g]

[MI21]

This was a hilarious game. Wemby looking like he is going against toddlers, Sochan turning Barnes into current Ben Simmons, Vassell shooting like prime Klay Thompson - what a laugh.

[heyheymymy]

what are Wemby's best away games this rookie season?

@TOR got a show and @DC saw some brilliance. @PHI was high scoring but not the best night, one of the @POR games and obvs the @PHX double header early in the season

[Pauleta14]

@ Cleveland

The PHO game was great, cos against Durant, in a close game, with clutch plays from Victor.

[CorrectCrusader]

French post game interview:

I am working on a article about Miss Martin, your former school headmaster that lives in Toronto now and I wanted to know what was your relation with her and what did she bring you to the beginning of your career ?


I just saw her 5 minutes ago, and at the beginning when I came at the Nanterre training center she was the school headmaster, but now it’s more like a friend. She worked « hand to hand » with the training center, especially Mickaël Bur, and how to explain, it’s not really in the frech cultur to mix up sport and school, but what she allowed us to do was at this time almost never seen before, and she really helped me going through my highscool years, and particulary my last year when I was already on journey with the pro team and I had the baccalaureat at the end of the year, so she gave me access to private lessons and so on, big effort from her and almost never seen before (in France)


I don’t know if you it but there is a large french community in Toronto, and I don’t know if you have the time during this type of game to visit the city, but if you do, what do you think of the city of Toronto ?


During this type of game we don’t really have the time but I have been to the restaurant last evening, and I will go again with the team this evening, and for the moment I’m not disappointed. It was the best sushi I had since I left France

[jjspur]

Poeltl wanted to go to a winning team and get paid. Guess he only got paid.

[slick'81]

he got shit on by victor for sure

[jjspur]

he got shit on by victor for sure

Wemby : Explain to me one more time why the spurs wanted to keep Poeltl ? You know the guy whose shots I blocked last night.
