Free Jalen McDaniels & Otto porter
Yes 25 turn overs to 29 assist
This team is not good. They are not having fun. You can just see it and feel it.
Masai has not constructed a good team and he has contributed to the depressing environment with a lot of what he’s said or hasn’t said in media
Masai should have gotten rid of Achiewa and Flynn years ago. It’s a failed experiment that’s never ending
Darko is not the right coach for a team that, according to you, is hoping to make the playoffs. He’s a development guy. I am not impressed with him at all. We should’ve stuck with NN or gotten a different coach
Scottie Barnes should not be given the keys to the kingdom after what he showed last year. He is nowhere near near ready to be your 1st option, especially for a team that supposedly wants to make the playoffs
The fact that they are wasting Spicy P and relegating him to 4th option is just nuts
Masai is looking like a third-rate team president with the total lack of movement with this roster. He got lucky with the Kawhi move. He’s done nothing of note since then to improve the roster
It’s called growing pains. Everyone goes through it. If anything this is what I expected of the raptors. Frustrated with the front office but still love the Raps regardless.
Scottie need his Pippen
As for Otto, they’re probably just preserving him. 8 games in 13 days.
The Raptors were playing tonight like they were stoned.
God we r trash
Trade everyone and move the team to Vancouver already!
The raptors don't have a center.Jakob Poeltl is not a starter in the NBA.He is blowout of position and can not shoot.He does not fit Darko's system.Achiuwa is a big disappointment,no energy, he thinks that he is in the beauty salon, does not play hard, sometimes just walks peacefully on the floor.Gary too inconsistent.Trade these 3 players.
Toronto's players don't have a fight mentality.They play like nice guys except for Scotie,OG and Dennis.The only person with a dog mentality will be Marquis Noewll and needs to be tried in the rotation.He has that mentality that he has to win every time he is there.
I have been saying almost every digest video that Precious has hands of stone and basketball IQ to match. What is this failure doing on the floor. Watch opposing players simply blow past him on his inability to switch on defence.
How did we get surpassed by a team that was tanking last year
Flynn has run his lucky rabbit course in the NBA. Let the man go play overseas if he can even find a job.
There is some reason why Otto is riding the pine. It must be a punitive reason. To let the likes of Precious play at all over Otto is disastrous,
Sad ! It's not the coach, and cannot really blame the roster. It's the management. They really need some experienced, consistent star players. I never understand about signing players because they are young. Why ? have you ever heard of a championship team consisting mostly young players ? You try and develop a young player, so either he never improve and ends up being dropped, or if they do, some other team grabs them ! Why think about 3 or 4 years down the road ? We need a championship NOW, not 5 years from now. Look at the old guys, KD, LeBron etc…they deliver, game after game, at 35 years old or more. Doesn't it say something ? I predicted before the pre-season games that this team will NOT get to the playoffs. I hope I'm wrong but my the look of things, I'm not. The only consistent player is Dennis Schröder.

Bro is flanbergasted by Trent's laughable performance tonight
This is a bad start to critical 7 games and it should shape future roster move. Orlando has passed us by? We got 2 straight losses to Orlando last year and it spiraled down our season. Pacers at ATL and Raps at ORL so no complaints on back to back same issue both teams.
Last on Def first priority is to stop the ball and we could not on straight line drives.
There's no polishing this turd! The Raps do not look good, and are increasingly falling back to playing a lot of ISO-ball. Pascal doesn't seem to be buying into Darko's movement offence that was supposed to reinvigorate this team. Shitty passes and not being able to receive shitty passes along with pylon defence lost us this game. None of our player's played a decent game–to my eyes anyway. Atrocious effort and pathetic loss. Hats off to the Magic…they looked like an NBA Championship contender against us. My prediction that this would be a 50+ win team when everyone got back healthy was a pipe dream. Unfortunately for us, there are very few teams this year that are as shitty as the Pistons, so I guess I should be ecstatic if we can ever get back to .500.
raptors sucks seeiously they cant score. trade everyone already we need a new team and fire masai please
I'm really getting sick of Masai's stubborn BS of doing nothing to address this team's needs. 14 games in should tell u this is a no man's land/mediocre team that's expected to be flirting around 500 to under. Which means we're too good to suck and too bad to be a playoff contender. MLSE needs to have some balls and tell Masai and bobby to stop being soo delusional and stubborn about this team and make some god dam trades to regain some assets and depth, or we'll call Bob Myers to get it done for us
Sorry no excuses, no coach or system should tell Fowards, to box out help the Center grab the rebounds…every one standing still, ball watching…out hustled by the Magic…remember Nick said to Masai as he was fired "good luck with those guys".
