Fred van fleet needs to stop shooting 16 shots a game. He's been awful
they need to actually play
One word… perspective, thanks E. Although I must say… I LOVE FVV.. but starting to think maybe we do trade him if we’re gonna do the 6’9 thing… hate to say it but could be amazing to have Scottie at the 1 full time…
Fire NN first.
A Center.
Trade it all for SGA
Fred and Gary plus picks for SGA. Keep OG. Khem and 2nd for Mo Bamba (not sure how to make salary work here). Scottie to the Point. And use rest of the season to develop a bench guard from anyone that's left.
It is also not good.. if the coach doesn't have a play.
It is also not good if the players are forcing each possession because the coach is just letting them do all ISO all the time.
It is also not good when the coach doesn't trust the other players that even when his star pg is shooting 0/11, he still lets him play 35+ minutes and doesn't even give the bench players a chance to play.
Thanks E. i don’t get why E is not on at 2pm. Those guys are over reacting and pandering to some players
They’re just not good enough E. No need for all this chatter and no one likes excuses.
Of course we need to make a trade
“Play in for what” . Blow it up. Masai and Bobby been evaluating this team forever. The direction is a rebuild. Keep OG, Scottie and trade everyone else. Tank for top 3 picks and go from there . Siakam and FV already hit their ceiling here like e.g demar and Lowry. Great players but can’t take the next step.
Trade Fred
I agree what he says there was not enough chemistry. Look at what happened to the Knicks. They were bad early in the season and now started a 6 game win streak.
So I believe we should wait and be patient.
I just hope we can start winning again! Let's go Raptors!! 🦖🏀
Wow finally someone that makes sense. No need to panic Raptors fans
Most of the time in Raptors history. after making a trade the young player starts shooting like Jordan. Hold on to your assets. Most young players take time to be good to great. Do something we have never done before and draft a superstar. Just be patient and steady like Freddy. Merry Christmas folks!
Well, moral victories do not count only W's. But, most of the losses were lopsided or beaten down. The way this season is going the Raptors will have a long losing streak. The schedule is tough in December, January and the rest of the season. After OG came back the Raptors still have no will to win and FVV is a liability because he is playing hero basketball. I mean throwing hail Marys, jacking up shots and bricking them over and over again. Time for a change! Come on front office and management do something! This is unacceptable and embarrassing! Losing has to stop! enough is enough! Let us know if you are fully rebuilding or trading and adding pieces to this team. The Raptors will not make it through this season. The 6'9 vision is not working because positionless is useless if you cannot shoot and play defence. Also, FVV is not 6'9 so he does not fit your 6'9 vision. He is a liability for both offence and defence. This is a mess! By the way, get rid of NN and let Earl Watson be the new head coach.
Trade some of the bench and get healthy. Man everyone is so annoying with the panic.
