@Toronto Raptors

[Wolstat] Darko said Raptors are playing to win, get the experience of the play-in. Also talked about getting better every day (which I’d say is a more attainable goal).

    Well sure ain’t looking like that by starting Gary Trent

    That spurs game was absolute embarrassing, 23pt loss at home

  2. WorldTwisting

    They had the experience last year and are 5 games back. It’s unlikely

  3. Phil_Dude

    You know, a play in win or two just might emboldened this team to extend a 1st round series beyond 4 games

  4. FallenLemur

    Every move they have made has suggested that they’re good either way they go.

    Lose games we get our pick back

    Win games we still have our other picks for this draft.

    I don’t think FO cares which way this season goes.

    Players/coaches obviously want to compete and would rather win games.

    Nothing wrong with this. They should be playing to win. Intentionally losing is bad for players to get used to. They should be mad about every loss.

    We’re not getting to a point where we guarantee keeping our pick anyway. The difference between a 50% and 35% chance of keeping our pick isn’t worth intentionally losing out for the season.

    We gonna play to win…proceeds to sits Chris and play Ronald McDonald.

    I mean… he kinda has to say this. Can’t just say we playing to lose to get a high draft pick.

    Seems like a fair way to approach the rest of the season. It’s not like the players are going to be asked to lose anyway.

    Raptors could definitely get into the play-in. The bottom of the East playoff picture is not that strong. The Raps end of season schedule seems pretty good as well

  10. They’re two spots out of 10th and haven’t looked like a good team in months. How do they intend on making the play-in

  11. Scobesanity

    It must feel good to be able to say this with a straight facing knowing there is ZERO chance of that happening with this roster.

    You know what Wolstat? Nobody wants your hater attitude. You have no basketball acumen and will conduct no basketball analysis. Either do some actual reporting, or get back to tweeting the quotes.
