  1. A lot of y’all might not see it yet but the way this front office handled this trade deadline will have this franchise in mediocrity for a little while post this season. I pray these idiots realize getting swept by Milwaukee isn’t worth it and lose every single game to end the year

  2. Y'all really lost to a 23-year old rookie and without their star. Embarassing. Both fred and barton needs to be arrested and sent to China this offseason

  3. in these tight games it always boils down to shooting consistency under pressure. Thats where elite shooters separate from the rest. On average the Raptors have less numbers of those kinds of shooters.

  4. The season is over. Even if we made the playoffs we would just embarrass ourselves, our offence is literally trash , too many wasted possessions on pull up 3s or just 3s in general, the ball hogs on the team are not that consistent so we are usually doomed during crunch time

  5. I’m a huge fan of the Raptors and have to swallow hard just to pay to watch your games live with my family but this L is the most embarrassing. I know there’s no Gary, no Scottie, no Achiuwa, and OG trying to play through an injury, but that shouldn’t be an excuse. I was expecting for the next man up mentality. I see no energy, no hustle, no defence. Just sloppy game from the very start.

    I’m still wondering why after that Barton poor performance last game with the Bucks, NN made him as a starter? You could’ve put in Thad or Malachi or Dowtin or Ron Harper Jr. as a starter.

  6. We lost due to coaching and a shoot first PG not being a floor manager first then look for his shot..This is a terrible lost..

  7. I need an explanation for bringing Farton into the starting lineup before I even consider spending another moment of my time watching this team. He STINKS. He literally shot 0 for 6 from the field last game, and was waived by a team further in the dumpster than the Raptors. Is that not enough clues for this idiotic coaching staff that putting him on the floor should not be a priority?

  8. When you allow 39% FG pg took 22 shots, the team is doomed for lottery pick. NN and his son need to get the hell out

  9. From the jump this game was hard to watch…horrible offence, no defence, Fred’s hero ball, Siakam bricking 3’s right after just missing FT, and OG w/ tunnel vision at the rim. Tough to support this team when they constantly let you down…

  10. Fred was so inefficient man 7/22 – 31.8% FG, 3/12 – 25% 5 TO Jeff Dowtin pls teach Fred how to play D. He can’t even guard Nambhard and McConnell😂

  11. When are the raptors going to realize you need a guy who can knock down corners threes. It’s so congested because there’s no spacing you can’t win because there’s no flow. An be honest this team don’t have iso guys so it’s amazing they run so many ISO’s plays as well.

  12. NBA needs stats for blow by received, jack up long contested 3s, forcing low pct hero ball, missed open man to show how bad Fred played as Fred fanboy needs proof but everyone else can see it clearly. 😂

  13. Low % on high # of shots for Freddie, I get it… but Fred & Jakob are NASTY together, very promising…

  14. What happened was Chris Flew by the players on pump fakes all the time and giving up open shots or 5 on 4 plays because hes out of bounds collecting his thoughts.
    Fred with bullshit transitions 3s when no shots are falling…
    Will Barton needs to be let GO!!!
    Jeff Only played 6 minutes…
    Lost to a buncha Rookies…
    OG non existent on offence with scottie and Gary out.
    I could sit here all day stating the obvious…
    They are a play in team and i hope that we can get to 7th or 8th and go up against Brooklyn first… anything other than that i dont see us making it out the play in.

  15. Just when we get our mojo back three key rotation players get injured smh fucking ridiculous

  16. You Raptors guys are pathetic you cannot expect to do the same stupidity and get winning results. One what is this Will Barton he miss every shots he take stink. Christian Koloko keep shooting three points just pathetic

  17. How many times you guys gonna ask questions about canadian players who cares man? Hyping them up. Enough for this nonsense giving them energy.

  18. HEY Precious Achiuwa. Listen, My Brother. You Got The Physique That Is Asleep And No One Knows Better Than Me That Your A Game Changer When You Come In And Do Your Thing. I Love It When You Get Down And Mean And Hungry To Jam Slam That Basketball. Dude Achiuwa, When I Was Doing My Thing In Competitive Sports I Had Coaches That Never Help Me Out Cause I Was Another Number, So What I Did Was Push & Grind Quietly To Earn My Place And Respect & Recognition From Those That Pushed Me Aside And Were Not So Nice To Me Because I Was The Wrong Color And Race. Ask Yourself Precious, Is There Really A Wrong Color Or Race? Hahahaha Let's Go Achiuwa Soldier Let's Go Man. Time To Step Up And Earn Your Stripes!!! Let's Go Raptors Let's Go!!! Stop Being Nice Men, and Start Demanding Respect Because Your Game Is Doing The Talking And They Got Nothing To Say But Good Job, Nice Jam, WoW What A Pass, Oh Sh*t WoW What A Jam. And Don't Let The Fame Go To Your Head Cause That's When You Slip, Stay Humble, Grind & Find Your Way Cause There Is More Than One Way Cause Were All Different Individuals Working For The Same Goal. "WIN" "WIN" "WIN" This Is Why Were Alive, This Is Why We Play, Nothing Else To Say Except. "I Believe In All You Raptors, I Don't Listen To The Rubbish Unless I Wanna Learn How To Be Better".
