You guys are way too negative about the team. They havent even been rebuilding for a year shit takes time and they arent even that much worse than a team like Indiana who had a lucky ECF run. I would rather the direction the raptors are going in now than watch them continue to try and run back a mediocre core that had a 2nd round ceiling at best.

Will debate Pensare on Scottie era challenge. If you are so confident in your Scottie hate Will, you should debate him.

These two dodos are the biggest scottie barne haters along with the rest of the crappy toronto media. These two have been exposed by Pansare Basketball.. a guy who actually understands basketball.

This show has become sarcastic and negative to raptors without evidence. I hope people keep the receipts for Will takes

I get the idea if you're too high on your own team. You might lose credibility in the reporter world. But seriously, "blake Murphy," you have to have some positivity when you're talking directly to Raptors fans.

The hate they have for Scottie is turning me off and that’s unfortunate because I’ve been a long time listener

Pensare's latest video brought me here. I get that they not tryna be delusional, but some of this effort to be straight down the middle takes away from the actual Fan Experience. I don't even think BELIEVING Scottie is as delusional as some of the orher shit i heard other reporters say about thier teams. Didn't like the discourse around trading Scottie for KD/Dame. Proven right, shoutout Pensare. In general, i enjoy the podcast for the most part. Will in particular had a history of Genuity that made most regular fans like myself identify to his work at the beginning.

Not going to lie I feel like Alex and Will are a little too negative about the team and the players, like I get it’s a raptors podcast and they were one of the 8 worst teams last year but it’s a team you’re making content about and both of them have admitted to watching the team since they were young I don’t get it I just wish they were more engaged and more glass half full/optimistic about the team

I’m sorry to be blunt but I find Alex frustrating at times. He often acts like it’s a chore for him to talk about the team, yet he is co-hosting a raptors podcast lol. Also feel like his negativity and indifference has really influenced Will’s coverage of the raptors lately. It’s okay to be critical of the team, that’s the fan experience, but this feels different. For example, if I’m tuning into a raptors centric show, I don’t want to hear the host constantly apologizing to guests he has on for asking questions about the raptors... Will’s passion for this team is what made his podcasts so enjoyable and special to listen to. Sad to see.

why are there so many bums hating on the podcast this was a good video

Trust Will Lou to downgrade Scottie every chance he gets. Its true that Barnes is not yet a top 10 player in the league but that could very well happen. I"m sure Will Lou will not notice it if it happens.

Saying they value young teams who can win over empty numbers..but putting the spurs at 2 is wild. Even paolo added more impact to his team than wemby. How about we rank the best young cores as more than one player and off winning more than hypothetical potential. That makes thunder and magic at 1&2. And go from there.

Can’t believe this guy really compared lively to KG 💀 , aye lou you needa get some ball enthusiasts on there

Will doesn't see the vision of Scottie like Masai and Raptors do. That should tell you all you need to know about this show.

Interesting list, raps in 8-10 ranage, so there is 8 players that Masai should trade for if offered for Scottie? Who hangs up first argument. Orlando and New Orleans are on the same tier. Maybe there the only 2 teams in that tier.

These two were entertaining when they were young and reckless with their honest takes. Listened to Will's post game breakdowns even though he doesn't have a good eye for basketball or understanding of the game, he was invested in the team and made an effort. Now his takes are old and tired, and he doesn't put in the work to talk about the team like he does. Once a new podcast team that is informed and energetic comes up, these guys will be irrelevant.

Don't get the negative comments here, they were not negative about the core. They fully said wins was a huge factor in these rankings and that they need to see the Raptors core win more before putting them higher. Spurs being ranked top tier does 100% contradict the "need to see them win" criteria. The only defence is that they started winning games late in the season and Wemby is just that good.

I love Scottie, but will Lou is a casual. So ofc he’ll underrate Scottie, but I don’t blame him. He needs to be great for the whole season and not for a period of time. I’m feeling like Scottie will prove to the casuals what he’s capable of this season tho 🔥

I think you’re really misguided about basketball stop your negativity.

Great list. Let's go BBQ! Would love some visual aids on your KZfaq stuff. Love the new pod

Not sure that Wemby alone is soooo much better than Chet that you're better off taking the Spurs over OKC's trio, plus the plethora of other young players they have. That's a rough take from Alex. And man, you guys are negative on the Raptors. Are you doing the right podcast?

Alex rubbing a beard he doesn't have lol

I want to see an entire season with the cookout, BUT 1000% needs to be with Poeltl. He's the glue that keeps these guys all in motion and aligned together with his screens and passing. The raptors had an 11.5 net rating when all 4 played, which is below the Celtics 11.7. I know we fell for this end of the 2023 season when we first got Poeltl, but remember, we came back in 2024 with no FVV, so it is not quite the same.

The laughing and sarcasm has become a turn off.

Will Lou loves BBQ 🫄🏻

Sensitive people in the comments always got something to nitpick

How are the Spurs ahead of the Twolves and Mavs?

what about Memphis? Is morant over by 25 yrs old now

Minnesota, coming off of an appearance in the WCF, is somewhere in Tier 1 with Anthony Edwards (All NBA 2nd Team), Jaden McDaniels (All Defense 2nd Team) and Naz Reid (6th Man Of Year). The Toronto Raptors would be near the bottom end of Tier 3 / borderline Tier 4. I really like the Raptors 2024 draft class to add to BBQ and GD.

raptors young core is better than indy and minny and its not close

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc-XqpiSu9emj6c.htmlsi=HLcrWW5OqNOyC464&t=276 Who is that over Stephen A.'s shoulder?

Damn the haters really showed up for the comment section ahlie

Jabari smith jr.???

Wooooooo

Scottie Barnes is winning MVP next season

Maybe I wasn’t paying attention but I didn’t hear any actual hate towards Scottie. Came here after watching Pensare and as much as I believe in Pensares takes, i feel he was overreacting. Can someone time stamp where Will was hating on Scottie.

Disliked and unsubscribed. The over the top Scottie Barnes hate is turning me off this show.

We need to bring Ron Harper Jr back!

Orlando has the best young core

No Orlando love? Banchero and Wagner bros look pretty good.

Please sell a T shirt of young will flexing 30 dollars next to the tree

Raps fan but they stink and give them no shot at the playoffs.

Y’all sleeping on the Knicks young core: McBride, Toppin & Sims 😂🤣

I can't wait for you all to eat your words. Stop overhyping Wemby? He is tall and has some skills. If he was that good how comes he didn't let Spurs got more wins? I like Wemby but I think there is too much hype around this guy. His play-making is non existent. Not only that has a big man we do not know how his longevity in the league will looks like. Wemby is no Lebron.
