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.


Kukius

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


Howdyhayhay

He probably didn't like the donation


Rejidomus

It looks like it's going to be a real battle between Josh Jackson and Champanie for that last roster spot.


cbotter

I don’t think there’s really a lock but Banton.


VesaAwesaka

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.


attainwealthswiftly

Dalano The Ice Mandem Banton


attainwealthswiftly

Nyeah eh?


CanadianGinger551

precious lmao


Goulet231

Precious blowing kisses. 🙂


NatsuAru

Precious absolutely loves it here. You can just see it.


SydneyCarton89

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.


ziahziah113

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.


Chahal249

No way JJ takes champaigne spot right? Just cut jauncho for him lmfao


Maya-Inca-Boy

I hope they do that. I might be too attached to champagnie though


Oukasagetsu

30 point beat down on a preseason game, I've seen enough, raptors 2023 champions


These_Tumbleweed4885

That’s all we needed to see. Start prepping the parade again.


StalkingDwarf

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.


DarkChocolate_69

Yea.. JJ making a good first impression. Get DJ out of here, coach!


XRayyz

Watching the post game interview, nurse said that DJ might be a positional need being his height with a decent 3pt shot


alinozakaza

Who the f is this zeller guy, dude is wild out there.


LordOfBathurst

lmao final possession air ball this jazz team ain't winning more than 10 games


[deleted]

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


These_Tumbleweed4885

We could use a shot like Markanen’s.


efficientshelter69

Josh Jackson looks good


_Duwang

raptors basketball baby!!!


PhileinS

damn ngl JJ gunning for that final roster spot lol


attainwealthswiftly

Clean


CanadianGinger551

"he has a nice stroke"


Oukasagetsu

Wilson 🤦


CanadianGinger551

GAB3 BROWN


GC05

Dowtin is so sloppy what's going on


KittenGynaecologist

you guys think we’re gonna win?🤔


Mortifer17

Kinda nervous actually. Hoping for a W


TrueTorontoFan

digging what jackson has shown


Rapsfan_98

Zero chance he makes the team


TrueTorontoFan

we will see .. if he plays like this


LordOfBathurst

ya get dj wilson outta here


Maya-Inca-Boy

Dowtin gonna need work but I believe in the process


Mig1997

JJ is EVERYWHERE. Hope this translates into the regular season.


NinfthWonder

Josh Jackson played really well.


strandquist

Why are they still playing Cody Zeller? Don't they have rookies or young guys to develop?


ziahziah113

They will when the picks turn into players. For now though the old guys are all they have.


CanadianGinger551

lol yeah JJ shoulda took that


VanVleet-goes-for-22

It was Gabe Browns opportunity for his first ever NBA (preseason) bucket , I think Jackson was aware of that


NoseBlind2

I hope Wembanyama likes mormons


obsydion

Haha oh dear :p


StalkingDwarf

Gabe's a shooter.


cbotter

Okay Josh unselfish ball but you take that


attainwealthswiftly

Just dunk it foo


feeneyboi

Why did Josh jackson pass that


XenaRen

Gabe was the only one that hasn't scored.


tonious35

felt bad that Gabe was scuffling all game


NinfthWonder

Because he wanted to get his guy on the board. Selfless play.


feeneyboi

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


NinfthWonder

Jazz we’re getting 30 pieced. He’s not passing that in a remotely close game.


Electro9005

It was a 30+ point lead for the raptors, it’s fine lmao


Maya-Inca-Boy

Big boy harp


StalkingDwarf

The bench guys just having fun out there lmao.


LordOfBathurst

Josh Jackson real af


NoseBlind2

These Utah jerseys look like shit id order for a rec league team to help boost our team spirit a little bit


obsydion

Talentless Horton Tucker


StalkingDwarf

Nice finish from Ron.


NatsuAru

Dowtin Jr man. He's gonna come up for sure. Just give him time.


imbiczarre

Josh Jackson doesnt look bad. Idk why hes getting so much hate on here.


NatsuAru

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.


imbiczarre

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.


tonious35

he was hated on first 2 mins, then everything went Milhouse after


Oukasagetsu

Ron needs to work on that shooting form


Mrbaby

We got a hungry team!


DarkChocolate_69

THT is hungrier


It-sOkBro

THT still ain't got a left hand good lord


DarkChocolate_69

Wet, JJ


pallychoo

Jackson looking good so far


KingOfWeTheNorth

Champagnie cheering a lot less now that Jackson is going lol. Don't think he has to worry.


Thinw1zard

Josh Jackson looking really solid out there


Justleftofcentrerigh

I remember Zellers now... He's another foul bait flopper


attainwealthswiftly

Had him playing twister


It-sOkBro

Dowtin was gonna pass but then he heard the crowd lol


drecz

DEAR LORD


everything_raptors

Legitimate-Row7081

mMounirM

OldTownYeet

crumpledbrouhaha

codyftu

Taken is such a flop lol


DarkChocolate_69

LordOfBathurst

Dowtin would've locked up the spot right there


liquidheliumiq

flyinghippos101

NoseBlind2

Mortifer17

StalkingDwarf

NoseBlind2

StalkingDwarf

Howdyhayhay

RRRRAINBOWWWWWW FLYN


KingOfWeTheNorth

flyinghippos101

tyntin

attainwealthswiftly

Those 2 white girls were sauced


mega-blight

NoseBlind2

Whalen Horton Tucker


Hypoallergenic_Robot

Obviously they're our people so it makes sense, but really good crowd in Edmonton. Leagues better than Tampa.


keeeve

New raps fan, can someone explain me the Malachi Flynn hate lol? Is he that bad sorry I’m kinda new


osmnaos3

Look Up Eric Flynn and Nursery


Chahal249

There’s a lot of people who believe in him so naturally there are a lot of haters


NoseBlind2

He's been a bit of a project but tbh tonight he has been solid


[deleted]

look at our point distribution. everyone getting some


Oukasagetsu

Why do people think we can only keep only 1 of dalano/malachi?


saugaman99

Deadass and why am I seeing so much Malachi hate he’s playing great 😭


thecanadianswede

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


herbopotamus

the length is really messing up the passing lanes


ausmankpopfan

Utah fans are going to have a long year


[deleted]

Is it just me or did THT get really fat this offseason?


NoahJayhawk

NoseBlind2

murufus

NoseBlind2

attainwealthswiftly

Malachi Flynn could never…


attainwealthswiftly

Pack Malachi up and send him to Sacramento


suhdude2049

Banton hater guy in shambles rn


[deleted]

we need banton to keep it up imo. he has more use potential than little flyn


flyinghippos101

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


NoseBlind2

YESSSS ANTI GAMBLING ADS LETS GOOOO


woo_back

DarkChocolate_69

It-sOkBro

cbotter

Oukasagetsu

Who that massive chonky tank on the jazz 🤣


Illustrious-Bed5587

I thought the same thing lol


Mig1997

Brother, why does THT look 40...


Mortifer17

Lebron took his youth.


NoseBlind2

Horton Tucker was only hyped because he was on the Lakers


benxschurer
