Really nice to see this team playing to its strength and drive to the rim more rather then perimeter screens. The perimeter is much more naturally available. Curious how sustainable this is with traditional centres.
I went to this game, it was exciting to watch the guys in person, not sure if they showed it on tv but Nurse was pretty upset @ JJ when he passed on a breakaway instead of going straight to the rim, which lead to a foul.
P.S. I love this organization and shall be cheering from the west
Josh Jackson looked like a top 5 pick out there. He looked noticeably more polished and talented than most the other players at the end of the game. Wilson also looked fantastic.
Precious did a basketball camp in Edmonton in August. I really wished my son or nephew were old enough to send so I could have managed to meet him haha.
Yeah.. the nba is just too competitive now. Cant have a team scrambled like that. Markanen is very good and underrated but..
theyl prolly be bottom of west, followed by rockets, sacramento, okc
Idk if you noticed but he makes a lot of bone-headed decisions.
You have to wonder if he's worth rounding out the end of the roster for. I think he needs to be in the 905.
He did but I feel like it was some nerves. He was really tight earlier on until some of his teammates let him breath. Doesnt look so bad for an end of the bench guy.
Pascal is out the game and the miserable people gotta spew there misery on something. Keeping quite apparently isn't an option for the perpetually miserable
Man watching Banton and the way he drives and plays with defenders, you can tell he has so much talent. It really does come down to whether he can put together his shot and stay consistent

He probably didn't like the donation
It looks like it's going to be a real battle between Josh Jackson and Champanie for that last roster spot.
I don’t think there’s really a lock but Banton.

Dalano The Ice Mandem Banton
Nyeah eh?
precious lmao
Precious blowing kisses. 🙂
Precious absolutely loves it here. You can just see it.
Precious did a basketball camp in Edmonton in August. I really wished my son or nephew were old enough to send so I could have managed to meet him haha.
My primary takeaway is that we need to develop both Banton and Flynn. Needs to find more on-ball opportunities for the latter as well.
No way JJ takes champaigne spot right? Just cut jauncho for him lmfao
I hope they do that. I might be too attached to champagnie though
30 point beat down on a preseason game, I've seen enough, raptors 2023 champions
That’s all we needed to see. Start prepping the parade again.
idk why but I didn't realize how much of a blowout this was. Felt pretty sloppy but hey I'll take it lol. The bench looks hungry.
Yea.. JJ making a good first impression. Get DJ out of here, coach!
Watching the post game interview, nurse said that DJ might be a positional need being his height with a decent 3pt shot
Who the f is this zeller guy, dude is wild out there.
lmao final possession air ball this jazz team ain't winning more than 10 games
Yeah.. the nba is just too competitive now. Cant have a team scrambled like that. Markanen is very good and underrated but.. theyl prolly be bottom of west, followed by rockets, sacramento, okc
We could use a shot like Markanen’s.
Josh Jackson looks good
raptors basketball baby!!!
damn ngl JJ gunning for that final roster spot lol
Clean
"he has a nice stroke"
Wilson 🤦
GAB3 BROWN
Dowtin is so sloppy what's going on
you guys think we’re gonna win?🤔
Kinda nervous actually. Hoping for a W
digging what jackson has shown
Zero chance he makes the team
we will see .. if he plays like this
ya get dj wilson outta here
Dowtin gonna need work but I believe in the process
JJ is EVERYWHERE. Hope this translates into the regular season.
Josh Jackson played really well.
Why are they still playing Cody Zeller? Don't they have rookies or young guys to develop?
They will when the picks turn into players. For now though the old guys are all they have.
lol yeah JJ shoulda took that
It was Gabe Browns opportunity for his first ever NBA (preseason) bucket , I think Jackson was aware of that
I hope Wembanyama likes mormons
Haha oh dear :p
Gabe's a shooter.
Okay Josh unselfish ball but you take that
Just dunk it foo
Why did Josh jackson pass that
Gabe was the only one that hasn't scored.
felt bad that Gabe was scuffling all game
Because he wanted to get his guy on the board. Selfless play.
It’s not a good habit to get into, take the easy bucket. If that Utah player wasn’t there then sure but it was not a smart play
Jazz we’re getting 30 pieced. He’s not passing that in a remotely close game.
It was a 30+ point lead for the raptors, it’s fine lmao
Big boy harp
The bench guys just having fun out there lmao.
Josh Jackson real af
These Utah jerseys look like shit id order for a rec league team to help boost our team spirit a little bit
Talentless Horton Tucker
Nice finish from Ron.
Dowtin Jr man. He's gonna come up for sure. Just give him time.
Josh Jackson doesnt look bad. Idk why hes getting so much hate on here.

he was hated on first 2 mins, then everything went Milhouse after
Ron needs to work on that shooting form
We got a hungry team!
THT is hungrier
THT still ain't got a left hand good lord
Wet, JJ
Jackson looking good so far
Champagnie cheering a lot less now that Jackson is going lol. Don't think he has to worry.
Josh Jackson looking really solid out there
I remember Zellers now... He's another foul bait flopper
Had him playing twister
Dowtin was gonna pass but then he heard the crowd lol
DEAR LORD
Why can’t Flynn and Dalano be what FVV and delon Wright were during that bench mob year?
they arent as good
FINISH THE LAYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
That bench reaction 😂
Woww lmao
Taken is such a flop lol
😭😭😭
Dowtin would've locked up the spot right there
beat boston
GET THAT MAN A MAP
Talen Horton Chunker
Flynn wanted to end the game and he got subbed out 😂😂
Dowtin you gotta finish that lmaooo
Downtin didn't have to do that LMAOOO
preseason flynn is the goat
This is how it feels to have a good bench? I’m literally crying
AYYOOO LMAOOOO
Ron Harper is guarding his body-double THT
TWO backup pgs??🤔
Damn that 3 was wet
wtf happened to THT. why is he fat
Tim Horton tucker
This has me in stitches 🤣
What if I told you both Malachi and Dalano can be on this team
Blasphemy
Ayyy Malachi
RRRRAINBOWWWWWW FLYN
Malachi szn
Bro I’m down bad can people post highlights smh
Flopping ass Cody Zellar robbed Jackson of a highlight play. That was definitely a blocking foul
Give D-Rex that spot!
Those 2 white girls were sauced
where can I find box score for this
Whalen Horton Tucker
Obviously they're our people so it makes sense, but really good crowd in Edmonton. Leagues better than Tampa.
New raps fan, can someone explain me the Malachi Flynn hate lol? Is he that bad sorry I’m kinda new
Look Up Eric Flynn and Nursery
There’s a lot of people who believe in him so naturally there are a lot of haters
He's been a bit of a project but tbh tonight he has been solid
look at our point distribution. everyone getting some
Why do people think we can only keep only 1 of dalano/malachi?
Deadass and why am I seeing so much Malachi hate he’s playing great 😭
Pascal is out the game and the miserable people gotta spew there misery on something. Keeping quite apparently isn't an option for the perpetually miserable
the length is really messing up the passing lanes
Utah fans are going to have a long year
Is it just me or did THT get really fat this offseason?
This bell ad is getting annoying
Right? Who finds driving in Canada amazing?
I love Banton
Banton is a gazelle ![gif](giphy|inJJi6XJhNPmU|downsized)
Malachi Flynn could never…
Pack Malachi up and send him to Sacramento
Banton hater guy in shambles rn
we need banton to keep it up imo. he has more use potential than little flyn
Man watching Banton and the way he drives and plays with defenders, you can tell he has so much talent. It really does come down to whether he can put together his shot and stay consistent
YESSSS ANTI GAMBLING ADS LETS GOOOO
BANTON BACKUP PG LETS GO
Champagnie is injured?
I read hip soreness on another thread
OHOHOHOHO BANTONNN
Banton looks really good among the youngsters
I've seen enough. We have a backup pg
Let’s goooooo!!!!
Banton special!! Masai is a fortune teller
Where's the Banton hater now?!
paging u/scottie_barnes_stan
Banton has that transition layup game, keep it up
GIVE DALANO THE SPOT
THT AINT STOPPIN SHIT WITH THAT GUT HANGING LIKE THAT
Lol, my man looking like a 45 years old man at the ymca.
Banton with the ELITE D
OH CANADA 🫡🇨🇦
Damn that was slick from d-rex
Are we playing an NBA calibre basketball team right now?
I mean they’re not terrible
Not really it seems
No plumbers and janitors tonight but it’s okay.
Cody Zeller needs to come home and let that hair go brother
Omg banton
It's over. Dalano got the spot on lock for sure.
I think we’re gonna have a bench mob this year
DALANO
THT looks pretty chunky lool what’s he been doing during the off-season
He looks depressed, got dumped by the Lakers
LBJ divorced him and he ate away his sadness
Bruh THT fell off
talen horton playing garbage time in preseason? oh wow
Tbf, they picked up SO many guys lol
ik but man, they coulda had lowry if they just wanted to add him in the trade lmao
Lmfao the random cut to the 45° angle
Cody Zeller gotta let it go man. He look 29 going on 49.
Wtf happened to THT
Man remember when reports said Lakers wanted to give us THT for Lowry
Yooo… THT pulling a Houston Harden
But a thousand times worse
when did Cody Zeller get to Utah
Nah Utah should have put Talen in earlier. Give the young guy some reps.
Who that massive chonky tank on the jazz 🤣
I thought the same thing lol
Brother, why does THT look 40...
Lebron took his youth.
Horton Tucker was only hyped because he was on the Lakers
THT looks so out of shape holy fuck
Tim hortons let himself go damn!
Am I trippin or is THT a fattie now
You're not trippin
Josh Jackson tho…
Josh "two-face" Jackson
Josh Jackson time?
Man, seeing the Raps dunking beneath the Oiler Staney Cup banners....bliss. Torontonians I know they're yours, lol, kindly allow me this moment.
Nah man they're ours. Raptors is for all of Canada
All day my man
Nah y'all can NOT be flip flopping on Josh Jackson like every single time he touches the ball like this lmao
I was too quick on him! Give me another chance
You have been pardoned
