The healthy and well rested Raptors just lost to the worst team in the league (Blazers) on a b2b, without Simons — why won’t Masai/MLSE decide to blow it up and give the keys to Barnes?
Barnes is fine, he’s developed a reliable scoring prowess while being able to defend 1-5, but everyone else is playing subpar. Why do they keep trying?
My personal head-cannon is that our ownership is desperate for any chance at postseason ticket revenues and won’t let Masai pull the plug and re-build properly.
Not much evidence to support this thought process, beyond the fact that Ed Rogers is a cunt.
