Darko Rajakovic may not have been willing to admit it with his words at practice yesterday but he did with his decision to bench Jakob Poeltl in the second half of Game 2. It's time to start Collin Murray-Boyles

Ja'Kobe Walter (illness) and Immanuel Quickley (hamstring) are questionable for Game 3

luke kennard who have you became dude
Hope Wemby's ok, that was a scary fall to watch. Blazers were great down the stretch, great moment for them. Will be interesting to see how a young Spurs squad responds if this gets pushed to at least 6
In the here and now of the playoffs, obviously a 2-0 series deficit with an inexperienced team is daunting. Big picture, was good to see the identity they've been trying to build show up in the playoffs. It shows there's a path to winning Game 3.

New @lockedonraptors.bsky.social with @vivekmjacob.bsky.social where we dug into the very real signs of life the Raptors flashed in Game 2 before turnovers did them in.
πRunning, defending & playing like the Raptors
πBI's very bad night
πA great night for Darko & much more

this rivalry is built different
Nikola is that you???
even if that's not a foul that's two points for hitting the net, no?
Jokic seems absolutely gassed, Wolves got a chance to steal one
now we pray
Louis Varland the type of pitcher that gives you goosebumps in April
You see THJ diving to save a ball and then taking a charge and getting hype of his hustle... that's a veteran role player knowing he's got a real shot at winning a chip
Ant is battling, looks like the knee is really bothering him
There ya go Vladdy
Darko defends BI post game
"Brandon is a very important player for us, the ball did not go in tonight... I got absolute support for him."
After what BI said after last game he had every right to be more critical but this is the right move as head coach, at least publicly
BI earned his criticism tonight, terrible performance. Scottie needed to be more assertive in the first half. Darko needed to start CMB.
On the plus side, wanted to see this team's identity:
Won points in the paint 64-52
Won fast break points 16-2
Defence was quite good
might not have mattered with how poor BI has been tonight but would've been nice to see how this ended up if CMB started from the jump
dwane was brave enough to bench demar, i'll give him that
RJ should be coming in for BI
two killer shead turnovers this fourth quarter...9 mins left
THIS IS THE SCOTTIE I'M TALKING ABOUT
good, let's see some dawg. thank you, rj
insane pass by mitchell
Jamal you cannot put yourself in a bind going in the air like that and turning it over
it's winnable. take care of the ball. keep pushing. keep working paint and out. keep up the defence.
This is how Scottie should be playing the first quarter
