This team is going to surprise a lot of people. Not saying they’re going to ECF or anything, but the 30 win predictions are crazy to me.

I’m going to see a lot of those apology forms on this sub this year, aren’t I…

The league is going to be .500 from top to bottom this year, they’ll be right in the middle of that and make the playoffs.

I think picking up McDaniels and Schroder and a full season of Poeltl will surprise people. The Raptors were on a 45-win pace after the deadline. Losing FVV and Nurse is a blow but a full season of Poeltl plus adding McDaniels and Schroder to the depth/ starting is a lot more upside than given credit.
I honestly can’t see Otto playing as few games this year either so if he can play even 30 games that’s a huge boost too.

Assuming they don’t fall into injury trouble, I think the Raptors will be more competitive this year. That also is hoping that Poeltl isn’t too banged up to start the year and Koloko can hopefully make a recovery by early ’24.

I think the fans forget that every season we are underrated by US media.

They were bottom of the league in 3 pointers made and 3 point percentage last year and this roster seems to have less shooting. That starting five is going to be operating in tight spacing but this team is still really talented and will probably over perform.

We’re in basketball hell: 38-45 wins.
The rebuild should have happened after Kawhi left but we overvalued what we had in Pascal.
