Raptors had tough schedule so far (8th in the league, https://www.espn.com/nba/stats/rpi/_/sort/SOS)

Last season, we were 8-7 after 15 games

What do you like or don’t like so far?

For me, I really love:

  • the vibes this season with Darko in charge
  • bigger rotation -> more opportunities for player development
  • Malachi Flynn, he might be a backup PG we need
  • not playing starters 37+ min every game
  • not having NN and FVV, I don’t think we really miss them
  • Scottie and Pascal
  • OG not handling the ball a lot
  • Gradey Dick’s confidence, he will be really good in 1-2 years

Don’t like:

  • Trent Jr this season
  • Jakob’s slow start
  • Precious decision making when he pretends he can be a creator. Keep it simple, play defense and rebound
  • OG/Pascal/ Gary contract situation. I think Trent is gone at the deadline and we resign OG and Pascal (max contracts or close to it)
  • People wanting to trade everyone and start rebuilding now (Before you use Magic as an example, just a reminder that last time they won a playoff series was in in 2011-2012 season. Are you willing to accept being bad for 10 years?)
