Be thankful that newer people are showing an interest in the team
why? this sub would be a hell of a lot nicer to read without the constant complaining.
and wanting what is best for it in the future
source? this sub is furious at the FO for not getting “Grayson allen” for fvv. for not taking 28th and 29th picks for OG which they’d complain about anyway like they are with gradey over keyonte george or jordan hawkins.
you have no power over your emotions otherwise you’d leave the subreddit of a supposed dogshit team ran by supposedly unredeemable management
because the team wins about as much as they lose and the 3 best players on the team are really good?
We are getting gouged on tickets
then don’t go
tv packages
then don’t watch
jerseys
then don’t pay for them
We have no direction and fans are still paying a premium for this shit that is a basketball organization
fans bitch about adding players to the pascal timeline. fans then bitch there’s no direction. think it’s insanely obvious they’ve chosen a direction, they just haven’t done anything stupid like trade scottie+og for KD which doesn’t make us a top 2 east team anyway.
everyone wants Scottie’s usage and numbers to go up, Scottie+bench is kind of the blueprint
It’s easy for him to find Pascal or OG
It’s a growth experiment to be more assertive and look for his own shot when it’s all on him
Thinking you know more than people who are paid to follow and study prospects is stupid.
Because you tank to hopefully get an All-NBA guy and some help.
You already have that in Pascal+OG+Scottie.
Scottie did not look foundational last year while Pascal played like a top 15 player until fatigue really kicked in due to once again leading the league in minutes
It was quite clear by that point how deficient the team was
It’s like they didn’t have a quality center, and became one of the best offences in the league with Fred+Poeltl pick & roll!
Them losing in the play-in affirmed that.
They lost to free throws. The Heat lost their first play-in game even worse than us and they’re not tearing it down.
Investing in the current was throwing good money after bad.
No, trading OG for the 28th and 29th picks or Fred for Grayson Allen or Luke Kennard is throwing good money after bad.
Yeah the YouTube app’s search capacity is scuffed, noticed this even with Open Gym videos on the Raptors channel that’s impossible to find on it.
I used to have to just use the internet browser app and plug in the url with the remote to get G-League games hah. Or Chromecast it from the computer and hope it fully transfers over to get perfect quality
Starting lineup:
JFL / Dick / RHJ / Gueye / Maker
let’s get it!
wow weird it’s like we didn’t have either shooter while playing the bucks the 2nd time or og against the healthy celtics the 2nd time in a 3 point loss
we’re not some powerhouse like the Celtics.
they just got blown out by the same team that blew us out after being so clearly not a powerhouse that they gave up a 3-0 ECF lead and had to reshape their entire core
Idk if Turner was available. We do hear it all the time but then also, it’s like the 4th year the league thought he’d get moved and then he just doesn’t.
Blazers were 27-28 before the deadline and we were 26-30
It was easier for them to freefall tho, Dame was having one of his best seasons ever and that was kind of it. They started getting blown out and lost 15 of their last 17 games, and Dame missed 11 games in that stretch
Lot more win-now talent on the roster than the Blazers who haven’t really show any flashes. Plus other teams were lowballing and Scottie didn’t look anywhere near the player he’s been this season. Made sense to stay put
Yeah 100%, I put down Scottie slash Pascal cause they’re competing with each other for one spot.
Not related to the Raptors at all but damn, [Blue Jays have a really nice Black Friday deal going on that’s still active. Got a ticket to their 2nd home game for legit $10.
“it’s facts” meanwhile your whole post is just you being emotional
scottie doin this to a longtime, top 2 raptor great is like when a new antagonist’s first scene in a tv show is to kill a major protagonist
Yep, Jak trade was needed. This team is plenty talented but had glaring positional holes. It looked better to buy into the Siakam timeline than the Scottie one given what we knew last year.
In having Kawhi/Danny/Serge/Gasol walk (not the problem), we effectively let a 5th, 8th, 8th, 9th, 20th and 25th pick walk because of where those trade pieces were drafted at. It was never going to be clean
This subreddit turned on Fred because Nick played him through injuries. But apparently it’s just that he was never actually good anyway and a completely selfish heroball chucker. Ignoring he made an All-Star team taking 10 3s a game.
And they’re a hell of a lot more charitable to Gary than Fred
biomechanics exist, it has to be graded on a curve
why do you think teams have their guards take technical free throws instead of centers and why do you think hack-a-shaq and hack-a-jak exist
if every near 7-footer was supposed to be able to be an elite jumpshooter and ballhandler, we’d have a lot more discount KDs in the league
we won by playing the starters a lot of minutes as a response to the bench not contributing. ha
