  1. ISO ball is not working having FVV main dude is not working starting Koloko is not working stop with the excuses

  2. This team is genuinely not good and no trade aside from getting a superstar (not happening) will change that. Sell the farm and rebuild nobody wants to watch this garbage product

  3. We're are ranked 29th which is the second last team when it comes to offense and ranked 27th when it comes to shooting. This is so disappointing 😞

  4. I know weed's legal in Canada and all but when all these reporters talk about "continuity" surely they realize the Raptors are missing 2 starters and 2 main bench pieces.

  5. Winning & trying to develop players is a real thing w us, a lot of our mistakes early in games are bc of our young players. The margin to win nba games really is that small, especially for us

  6. I pove masai and the idea he and nurse want for this team but please. Get some shooters. Get someone that can create in the half court. Pls

  7. This team sucks. That is the full potential of these players and cannot be what they are not.
    Needs a shakeup

  8. A good offense makes defending easier.
    We have a crap offense, therefore it takes a lot of energy on D.

    The narrative about 'effort' is hollow. These guys are trying, but they are in the wrong place in the wrong time.

  9. Masai and Bobby, for crying out loud, do something! Anything! For a team with the most continuity coming from last season, I sure want this roster to end. Vision 6'9" is a fluke. We need shooters and a proper center. #WeTheNorth

  10. Nick never takes responsibility for himself, only ever blames the players. Your schemes are shit on both ends, wake up and stop being stubborn. Make adjustments.

  11. I hope the front office has a plan for this underperforming Raptors because they will not win 47 or 50 games this season. If they are lucky maybe 41 or 42 games is the most they can win and that is a play-in team. I mean December, January and the rest of the season are very tough game schedules. Also, the possibility that the Raptors will go on a long losing streak. Well, the team lack 3-point shooting, mid-range, shot-creators, perimeter defence and rim protection. So many flaws and deficiencies that the Raptors will not win many games. The only option is a full rebuild unless the front office addresses all the issues. If they do nothing the season will end early meaning out of the playoff picture or standings. I remember Masia said a play-in is not an option. In that case, the only option is full rebuild or contending. The front office has to pick one. So far the Raptors are doing a good job of being bad. The truth is the roster is not good enough and will not go far. Even if they wait until the end of January it will not work out in their favour because most games are against teams with winning records, better than the Raptors and some are top teams. Even if they make playoffs they will not have playoff success or pass the first round. The Raptors cannot afford losses piling up because this could turn ugly in a hurry unless the plan is tanking this season or foreseeable future to collect picks and develop younger players. Also, they cannot hope for the team to get healthy because the Raptors have always been prone to injury and that will not get better year after year. A prone injury team is always a prone injury team. Time is moving and sooner the front office has to make a decision. Either way, this team is not ready to win now or sooner. The team construction is flawed and has many issues to address including coaching. Imagine since the end of the 2019 season the front office has not made any improvement in this roster construction. It is been 3 years and the front office continues to ignore or not address those issues because hoping their players will make a jump or improve. The only way to improve the team is to add and subtract players year after year. Well, the front office has not done both very well in those 3 years except drafting Barnes and time will tell if he becomes the player they expect him to be or if he becomes a bust or just a role player. Good luck! By the way, why is NN playing VV and Siakam for 40+ minutes every game and every season? These players will have a short career or career-ending injury. What a mess! This team is dysfunctional!

  12. THIS IS A HIGH PROFILE TANK JOB. DON'T BE FOOLED MASAI KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. WE'RE LETTING FRED AND SIAKAM PUT UP NUMBERS SO THEIR VALUE CAN BE INFLATED. IF MASIA AND NURSE REALLY THOUGHT THIS TEAM HAD A CHANCE, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE ACTIVE WITH TRADES IN THE OFF-SEASON. TANK SEASON HAS BEEN FULLY ACTIVATED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS SEASON!
