  1. So tired of this midget Lavine slutted you out all night and you did nothing but stagnate our offense in the fourth. If this FO pays this man I’m done with this franchise till his contracts over👍

  2. Your coach should be fired tonight. I geniunely hope you do no return after tonights performance. Nothing short of disgraceful to go 18/36 from ft because of a screaming 9yo… this team wasn't mentally prepared.

    You should be waking up at 4am and shooting fts until preseason next year.

    Fragile… fking fragile..

    Ntm, your defense on Lavine was absolutely forgettable tonight. The Raps really could've used Jeff Dowtin Jr. tonight….

    But thats an entirely different disconnect that needs to be dealt with this offseason… 😡🤬

  3. Bro averaged 3 Hail Marys Per Game this season.
    Although it wasn’t all his fault, he damn sure contributed to the late game heaves to end our season…

  4. You hogged the offense that is why we lost and you guarded Zach who got 39 points on you. I pray you walk I dont want you in the team. Or you come off the bench.

  5. Garbage second half by this man hail Mary layups cause he didn't wanna pass and pull up 3 bricks

  6. As a PG, Fred doesn't make his teammates better.
    If the Raptors want to rebuild for the future, Fred has to go. Let Scottie be the #1 and #2 scoring option. He wasted this year playing behind Siakam and Fred.

  7. Mr.top50 played hero ball in second half that’s why we lose. I hope never see him in raptors uniform again

  8. pack nick nurse and fred bags this is the end, trade gary for a 1st rnd pick, resign poetl, trade siakam to portland for young players and picks. Its time to rebuild STOP WAITING DO IT NOW DONT WASTE SCOTTIES LOVE FOR THE GAME

  9. That 3 pointer Fred took on the break when we were down 3 was downright selfish

  10. Aside from everything Fred is a great Raptor nothing but respect to him. I love him just like DeMar and Kyle the fan base shouldn’t turn on him. Obv he is not the defender he once was or there was too much pressure. He’s still a great Raptor. ❤

  11. Fred is no leader. Can’t even lead the team win at home in the playin tournament. He’s no top 50 too. Shot 36% FG tonite. Terrible.

  12. Gotta respect the dude for not hiding from the press win or lose. But it's best for both parties to part ways. Hopefully we can sign and trade him.

  13. If you want to truly test your patience, watch the fourth quarter offense that Raptors ran today.

  14. 22 shots to make 26 or 28 points. A pylon on defense. Fire Nurse for not setting plays for Barnes

  15. Hes in for a rude awakening when he finds out what other teams are willing to pay him. Isiah thomas all over again.

    He is gonna regret turning down that money from masai.

  16. Raptors fans in 2019 went from saying we’re the next golden state we’re going to be a dynasty and win multiple championships now to saying fire NN and I don’t care if Fred leaves or not since 2019 y’all have lost in the first round twice and have missed the playoffs twice that’s what happens when you don’t draft and develop players like Golden state does

  17. Fred has been awful majority of the season. He has done more harm then good & he hasn't led Raptors to much during his time as PG.

    Just in this play-in game v Bulls he started off well. Raptors started off well, played great defense, moved the ball well.
    Scottie, Siakam, FVV all making 3's.

    Then that 3rd quarter happened. It was an abomination, FVV hijacked the offense because he was shooting well.

    It became the Vanvleet show. Raptors were playing so well prior to him doing that.

    He knew he had it going offensively, he knew it was a big national TV game on ESPN, up big.

    Vanvleet was 1-9 from 2 for the game. Yet that 3rd quarter he was just running deep into the paint constantly, attacking the rim like he was Ja Morant.

    Everyone was just standing around as he went iso ball.

    By the time he started to play team ball everyone else were cold after not getting many touches.

    Vanvleet in the first half played well because he wasn't playing selfish, he moved the ball, played commited defense.
    Siakam got him in rhythm open shots from 3.

    That 3rd quarter Vanvleet played like he was chasing a max, made the game a showcase on ESPN.

    This guy wants a max, hell no.

    Rather he gets moved.

  18. Fvv was never a leader. He forced himself there so he can make 💰. He said it's all business. So let him gwan his business. No way any other team will let him pull the stunts he did and get 40min/game. He takes 0 accountability has a so called leader.

    He was his best as 6th man. And that's the most he should be. Coming off bench BEHIND a true point guard. He should be a shooting guard. He don't care to make anyone better.

    He is a the locker room issue. Players checked out a long time ago bc this man gets away with murder. Why would anyone want to play with him.
