Open Gym Pres. By Bell S12E03 | Family

In this week’s episode of Open Gym, after a huge home win against the Milwaukee Bucks, a ride along to the airport with Pascal Siakam sets the stage for one of the more unique road trips in the NBA schedule. Jakob Poeltl is welcomed back in San Antonio as the Raptors muster up a big comeback win against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Valuable practice time and immeasurable team bonding outings help vault the team past Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. #Raptors #TorontoRaptors

i don't know what we achieving under darko, but i love the energy he's bringing to the franchise

[@RafaelLopeztattoos]

an identity and chemistry are two pretty obvious things to me....these are things we lost and were proud of leading up to the chip year. also player development which most of the NBA were envious of. See OG Bench Mob

[@stuartstevens8995]

I (edited) my take. I honestly can't take him (100%) seriously... (yet)... I don't mean any disrespect. I just feel like this team (possibly) needs some tough, professional leadership.

[@fasdude38]

@@stuartstevens8995 Dude... Darko has forgotten more about the game of basketball then either one of us will know in a lifetime. You can feel that this man really cares about his players. He doesn't demand respect--he earns it! That is the kind of guy that you want to play your best for.

[@jsnchoy]

​@@stuartstevens8995 nba coaching has evolved. Tough nosed coaches dont last long. Unless the front office has your back as a coach, its very hard to manage egos in todays nba Early 2000s , yea coaching was hardnosed and direct. Also you dont know what hes saying behind closed doors. Hard to judge him until we see how the team performs for half a season

[@pampermenetwork]

That is literally the best part, the energy.

[@amitkumar77172]

OG always got me cracking up lol

[@kimses7611]

I just love OG

[@iLumiinater]

We want to see more post game locker room content

[@pampermenetwork]

I agree. That one video got me off the fence with this roster. The vibes have completely changed for the better.

[@stuartstevens8995]

But I was hearing nothing but positive vibes with the ‘old’ roster on these videos (from commenters) or am I wrong?

[@hotdogboxd]

@@stuartstevens8995Bro didnt pascal punch nick nurse like two years ago? obviously the vibes werent good after Bubble season

[@stuartstevens8995]

I am not saying they were good (I dont think they were). I'm saying I thought I saw a lot of people (most people) in the comment sections saying the vibes were good - last year, the year before etc. Am i wrong? @@hotdogboxd

[@stuartstevens8995]

and do you understand what i mean?@@hotdogboxd

[@King_of_Sofa]

That's some strong team chemistry right there!

[@neilgirvan8678]

Wow! Darko was such a great hire!! You can see the positive energy he brings.... it's infectious. You get the feeling that these guys really like him and will give 110% every time they are out there. Why? He brings respect so he gets it.

[@delexannavaratnam9476]

OG at the end is hilarious HAHAHHAHAH! GIVE HIM THE MAX.

[@kimses7611]

Totally agree n I love him 😂lol

[@osmanmohamed6882]

Is it me or is this getting Shorter and Shorter episodes!!!! We as fans love Open Gym

[@notDonaldFagen]

Yes, but also seems to not be having us wait 3-4 weeks for one longer ep.

[@kimses7611]

It would be nice for a lit bit longer

[@spicy_xinger]

they cutting back the budget

[@melian9999]

Darko, got me in the feels with that speech after the dallas win. This team is coming.

[@shanellmoonesinghe896]

Thad a big time locker room leader

[@gryffinberner]

I wonder if he would make a good assistant coach for Raptors

[@julianarosa3940]

Loving this energy, seeing these guys smiling with lightness and togetherness. I'm rooting for this team a lot. Sending positivity to the raptors.❤🦖

[@topet124]

darko is a dawg, i like him

[@huhsayitagain]

Seems like everyone made the right moves in the off-season. Darko is writing a new Raps chapter. Love the energy, the togetherness. NN is LOVED in Philly. They're giving him a lot of cred for their strong start. FVV seems to be a Houston KLOW and on a 5-gm win streak. Nice go see everyone thriving.

[@motivationmastery684]

Great locker room vibe! Love it! Give Masai [or Bobby] another Exec of the Year award for hiring Darko!

[@DanielYim02]

How can you not love this team! #WeTheNorth

[@louissehighlights6783]

Love the team’s chemistry! Their chemistry is so much better than the last season when it’s only been a few months. The HC is really the one instilling that culture to each player. All I see right now are positives. Darko is doing the right thing. 💪🇨🇦❤️ Pascal got his medal, Scottie got his medal, OG got his medal. Who’s next? 😂

[@MStar10]

Dennis got next!!!

[@djgolf3256]

Lmao OG is hilarious 😂

[@Kiviuq1000]

@TorontoRaptors just make these at least a half hour long please!

[@dj9one212]

I can definitely sense the good vibes in this episode

[@lisab2747]

You gotta love OG...unless he's defending you. Awesome team chemistry, looking forward to this season!

[@thewaraichreport]

Love this, shows you the human side of basketball players.

[@mbehzadi]

Love this team's spirit!

[@muvzyhoops]

Raptors Top 6 seed best believe that

[@pampermenetwork]

I loved this episode. Shoot, it looks like these boys are having a lot of freakin fun (and Darko is the freakin best). I am going to judge the boys based on the Milwaukee and the Dallas wins and the 2nd half of the San Antonio game. Those games they played together, integrating ISO elements, 0.5 offense principles and limited turnovers. If they play that way all season, Raptors are going to be a tough out. Really tough. I am starting to get the vibes. I see the direction clearly, now. And it's obvious that everyone is buying in, even the boys that have never seen the floor (like Thad). Love it.

[@medved4030]

Great chemistry!. This is going to be an exciting season for the Raptors

[@minky8299]

Lets go Raptors! 🤩

[@michacarolus6571]

Love the vibes, Darko seems to be a great person and he gets better a coach progressively.👍💯

[@aramkim9915]

Darko is LEGIT!!

[@jaimev2491]

Warms my heart to see the team chemistry this year ❤

[@tristantrey]

Very well done as always

[@therealpeopleofvancouver]

I got tingles, the vibes are back baby! The angles from the Scottie step back and the OG three was really nice too!

[@janleo9837]

As german Darko reminds me of Germanys Gordon Herbert and its definitely no coincidence that our hero Schröder is part of that Team. I expect big surprises…

[@bengorniak2721]

About 30 minutes too short. Vibes are immaculate, which necessitates longer episodes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@yussufmohamed157]

This is the best crew so far it's been a long time let's goo raps 💯💯💯💪

[@Deeveedends]

Unlike last year, this year’s team is fun to watch. They are “together”. Family!!!

[@valr852]

Pascal,appreciate the maple leafs sweatshirt,but boy I wish our hockey team had our raptors heart,they should all come and watch you guys play so hard every night❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@andrewhan7426]

Tremendous episode. Good job.

I think they sell them in the arena. I've seen fans with them.

[@CJHan]

I hope Matt Devlin commentates for the Raptors until he retires.

[@MussellRartin]

Agreed! but he has to stay away from the Blue Jays booth

[@fifthbusiness1678]

I’m sure he will. It’s a great gig. He’s the voice of the Raptors, just as Shulman is the voice of the Blue Jays. We’re lucky here in Canada, as both are among the best in the business.

[@notDonaldFagen]

Bucket and book it.

[@JoshDominic]

Compared to other NBA team annoucers, I find him to be one of the most boring tbh. And Jack is even worse with his corny catchphrases

[@Hemant.s]

@@JoshDominicagree. Jack needs to go. Alvin is trying but not quite there yet.

[@MrShadow205]

That was so much fun.

Shows how much you watch and understand basketball

[@PShoota43]

@@BabaYagaGamiing😂😂💀💀

[@RadeenChoudhury]

@@BabaYagaGamiing Not really. I just felt like giving NN another shot would have been worth it. Darko was an assistant or in Europe for the past few years so he didn’t ‘t have any NBA experience. Fair to say that I was doubtful he’d know how to handle a team. And this video clearly shows that he knows how to handle the team on a person to person level.

[@BabaYagaGamiing]

@@RadeenChoudhury bro he’s been in NBA for 10 years developing ton of NBA players reason you didn’t hear of him its because in NBA its a popularity contest. If you haven’t noticed NBA is starting to change to an actual basketball organization and moving away from one linear basketball. Perfect example is clippers thats the basketball style NBA moving away from and brining more exciting team oriented basketball. It don’t matter how many stars you have on the team that dont work anymore.

[@peterd.2963]

GREAT SHOW.... RAPTORS....‼️ GREAT TEAM WIN...❕❕

[@fasdude38]

I don't know how much of this is scripted I mean the guys know that they are being filmed. Still...it seems pretty authentic to me. If they actually like each other as much as they appear to in the video, with this talent, how can this not be a 50+ win team this season. Our schedule has been far from easy and downright unfair to play the Sixers twice on back to backs. Yet...we are still .500... "and that ain't bad" to quote Jack Nicholson. Let's bring some of that fight we used for those wins in Texas to Boston, and show them that alll the sports analyst have it wrong...that the Raptors can hang with any team on any given night--even the highly touted Celtics. Go Raps!!!

[@MStar10]

I know what you are saying - but honestly you can't really script any of the things that are being said or done. The main proof is how they are playing on the floor - it shows its authentic!

[@xav3ng3rx]

LOL omg why is nowell's locker spot near the door. Poor guy, cant wait to see him at a 905 game!
