Ujiri wants to win again… so is trading for Kawhi again?
No??
You got Jakob Poetl instead??
LOL!!
Dallas are STILL looking for their second….
Who – BESIDES RAPTORS FANS – gave those trash team a chance??
I WANT NAMES!!!
Sleepy scottie can not shoot 3s . Unless he improve he will be an average player. Period.
I agree with you my reaction was the Lakers beat the raptors 122-112 they should've been sellers
Not sure why NN has gone to a small ball lineup with FVV, Trent and the guy from Washington. I get it if they are losing but the starters were dominating and it was like taking the foot off the gas. No way FVV should be playing the entire first quarter when every other starter comes off. Should have taken Fred out when the Washington vet subbed in. Nurse has done this twice now with disastrous results.
Og and Scottie get no praise because they are so inconsistent
I could see from November this team isn’t competitive enough. Lotta people thought I was nuts. This team is what we are seeing.
The worst thing is that not only haven’t players improved, they have regressed.
Who is that on?
Just to let you know our bench rn sucks with a bad version of Trent and less mins and scoring with Boucher, Thad, Achiuwa and a new Barton.
But hopefully our 1st round pick will be a good bench scorer
It's clear this team continues to decline under Siakam and Fred's leadership. Siakam's numbers have improved, but he is still not the #1 offense option–he probably will never be that guy. After 3 years under Fred, he still hasn't been able to make his teammates play better as a PG. What's worse is the lack of bench under Nick Nurse, who continues to run the roster as if he was coaching playoff games. Nurse consistently plays the starters 38+ minute a game without giving the bench players a chance to develop. I am not surprised if Nurse is replaced after the season. It's clear Nurse has lost the respect and confidence among the bench players especially. Just look at Flynn and how Nurse has been treating him. I really don't understand why Flynn is even on this roster after the first two years.
It's time to say goodbye to Fred and maybe GTJ. If GTJ wants a big contract, he can go. His defense isn't there anymore, and his shooting has been incredibly inconsistent.
I agree this team needs to change dramatically on and off the court. This is probably Coach Nurse last year. FVV and Trent are gone too, along with most of the players sitting on the bench doing nothing.
Everyone get on board the tank baby!!
We hit a point where we had to decide the direction of this team. I wanted to tank when it was still early enough to get Wemby, but they opted to go all in on this season and trade for Jak. We didn't deserve to make the playoffs over Cleveland last year, and we don't deserve to make the playoffs this year. It's a shame because we have talented guys. I think a glaring issue is coaching but Masai has always waited to fire the coach until it was a last resort, even dating back to his time in Denver. Other teams go through 4 coaches in a season some years. This team is not equal to the sum of its parts, because its parts are pretty damn good. Hopefully next season we have a new coach and a better year, but I said that last season too.
At least I have to work during this horrible season and only need to read about it
Pls rid us of pascal and fvv
Get rid of Nick Fred and Pascal.
I think we need to fire 🔥 Nick Nurse this man is pushing the guys to play
LOVE FRED BUT the ref they're gonna be out to gets us even more than before hard to watch basketball.
Siakam and Fred core is done…
Idk why people are still suprised with the decision. Masai himself said he'd rather do his work duing the summe because " there are more teams willing to do more" rather than just the few at the deadline. Relax and just enjoy the downfall before the upswing.
Well I was happy Pascal did not take any shots. Like in the clippers game Pascal kept taking shots and made us loose the game. This game Pascal and Fred finally let Scottie and OG have the ball. The biggest issue is that in the fourth OG was not given the ball to score.
The trade for Yak was dumb. He cant shoot. He does not spread the floor.
Pascal Siakam for Victor Wembanyama?
Luca, this fanbase is not ready for what a "rebuild" and "tanking" looks like. As disappointing as the team has been this year. There's no way these fan calling for picks could sit through 3 years of even WORSE basketball. I go all the way back to 95. I can't sit through multiple years of losing. Look at Detroit, Houston and even Philadelphia? All those years of losing for Sixer fans and they can't get out of the second round?? Detroit, for all their talent still stink. And Houston?? Well they're probably the worst managed team in the league. It really comes down to coaching for the Raptors. Maybe a new voice is what's needed? Nurse is still coaching like he's got the 2019 Raptors. That's the problem.
OG and Scottie compliment each other very well. It's time to move on from Coach Nurse, Fred and Pascal
If we pay Fred in the offseason idk what to say. This team is a nightmare tbh.
Cut Loose Nick Nurse. Player development is Zero on his profile. Ime udoka is the right replacement, if he can clear his issue.
I blame pascal siakam because he is trying to get everyone involved, he should just be selfish and start padding and make his # and see what you fool would say
Agree, they need to break it up. They are not good enough. Poor fundamentals and poor execution many times on both ends of the court.
Dont worry . Malachi flynnsanity is about to go on a massive tear.
Mistake was trade deadline thinking they was going to make noise. Raps is a good squad without a top flight player. Sinking and tanking should be secretly the goal. Draft top 5 what’s the pour of this season .
Morale plays a big role in a team's performance. Raptors have some great players, but when the NBA has you pegged to never reach the playoffs this year, that's what's going to happen. After the Denver game they seem to lose their spirit. It's when they realized no matter how well they do, the officials are going to make sure they lose. This is because of Vegas and betting apps which have taken over the industry and now they call the shots.
I thought they can do sign and trades if need be during the summer?
People need to stop blaming the players who are being played. The problem is NN PERIOD!!! He is arrogant, and he is the problem. This team is not developing a team of young talented players…it's NOT BEEN happening! Nurse punishes consistently. Ok, if they don't play to capabilities, I get it. But the problem is he is killing confidence. It's so apparent it ain't funny! Nurse goes on spurts of 'liking a player', then he goes cold on them. His punishment period! There are two people to get rid of in this organization. NN and FVV. These are the 2 who unfortunately had their best Raptors days behind them. Keep the rest (for the most part), including Pascal Siakam and this team with flourish.
Pull the plug already
Egotistical players ruin this team. Fred too focused on his money so he's gone. Siakam is NOT gonna get a supermax extension
