can’t be the only one who sees how horribly this team is being mismanaged right? We were firmly positioned to land a top 6 pick no less than a month ago and now a stretch where we are squeaking by bad teams has us chasing a play in spot? If you’re against tanking I get it but come on you can’t tell me you’d rather us get embarrassed in the play in/first round than landing a top 6 pick and possibly Wemby/Scoot.
Nick nurse I've been very happy with you my man!! Maybe OK maybe not maybe considering even the whole fanbase was calling for it too but just maybe all you really needed was a good serviceable big man and you've gotcha one of the best in the league. I'm seeing a pretty good team now!!!!! Lettsgoooo
This pascal interview was a vibe. You could feel the joy and confidence in the team and our guys now in his speech and composure. This how winners supposed to be!!!
The second fugliest game of the season. Ugly shooting %s, with the FT being especially atrocious. Leaving 12 FTs on the table is inexcusable. I'm especially surprised that the refs didn't gift wrap a win for Detroit. I'm thinking they saw how horribly we were shooting FTs so, they had no problem putting us at the charity stripe. Allowing Detroit's 6 extra possessions and +16 rebounds, is concerning against one of the worst teams in the NBA. It still baffles me why, bottom-feeders appear to play uncharacteristically elite defence against us. Yet another game that we would've likely lost had this been before Jan. We squeaked out a tough win though with clutch FTs at the end of the game, and that's what matters. I'm wondering why teams are not implementing the "Hack a Jak" defence tactic at the end of games. If I were Poeltl, I would we spending 70% of my practice time, practicing FTs with a good FT coach. The Cavs which are currently healthy are an elite defensive team that can score with ease, this next game will be the ultimate test for this post Jakob acquisition version of the Raptors. If we play to our potential, it should be a great game. Go Raps!!!
Pistons were obviously trying to lose. Casey burned the time-out, and then didn't challenge on Marvin (not that he was going to hit 3 free throws lol). Terrible win, but a win is a win.
This team is allergic to ball movement. We make it so difficult to score in the half court bc everybody is standing around watching ISO.
If you are moving the person who defending has little chance to over help on defense and your teammates have enough space for a backdoor cut or to attack the rim.
Stop standing around and watching ISO, and move the damn ball.

We played crap teams. That 7 of 8 games means nothing
raptors missed 10 free throws ………against good teams that spells L
I said it yesterday, I'll say it again – play Dowtin more. He deserves it.

Dowtin 👏

Imagine Deebo joining this team 😂

Definitely a big shout out to the Raptors fans in attendance in Detroit!
NN. Please play Joe W. He's your best 3 point shooter, it will space out the floor for everyone else. Almost lost this one because of draught.
