Fire Nurse, trade Fred and start rebuild. Don't understand what direction this team is heading towards at this point.
When you guys play bad it looks really really bad an when you guys have a good game it looks really good..team figured out our stuff..coach it's now on you to react an stop talking…
Nick has lost the room …. NN schemes require maximum effort and these guys aren't giving him that to execute what he wants. They might need to hear another voice in the locker room
Fire nurse , hire ime udoka, trade or sell everyone except Barnes siakam and OG and precious ( maybe sell siakam at a high rn) retool and get a great draft pick

NN is as much to blame for this loss as the ftont office. Your rotations sucked tonight. Why took Diwntin Jr. out when he was playing well & the catalyst to cut the lead down. Outside of Pascal your starters weren't doing much which include O.G. Don't get me dtarted on Scottie. Why is he not aggressive from tip off. He seems to say oh well when his shots don't go in. His playmaking was very iffy. ENOUGH!! Every tm that wants to get righr just circle the gms vs Raps @ SB arena. Imagine GS & Phoenix put Brooks & his tm to shame & you have him come here hype up & attacking Siakam & no one to stand up for him. You can see on his face that he is frustrated & tired. Scottie was drafted b/c of his degense & this yr he is worst on that side of the ball. Downtin Jr. put him to shame.
There not ready to win yet still need some pieces. Be patient let guys develop, first round for what.
Pretty unacceptable effort on NN's part. Flynn's been on fire. You didn't start him, why????? Every year the Raptors are the #1 team for different starting lineups. NO rhythm at all, too experimental.
Why RU NOT even giving Champaigne?? Scottie is the only player who does shit and gets away with it.
Pick up Cousins or Dwight Howard for the rest of the year. We are being crushed under the net.m
This knucklehead started juancho and koloko and expected to win… juancho literally scored ZERO last game and he didn’t score yet again… like what spacing does that provide pascal/Scottie especially when JJJ and Steven Adams are protecting the paint?? GTJ immediately got subbed in and hit a bunch of threes yet he didn’t start… this roster is so poorly constructed and isn’t built to have any injuries.
Poor roster construction, all forwards aint cutting it. You need guards that has the foot speed to keep up with the opposing guards,. That starting lineup is nasty af, no spacing at all for Pascal
The tank commander is looking over your shoulder.
Nurse has lost the locker room and isn’t a top 10 coach fire him trade VanVleet Boucher Birch waive Juancho Dowtin and get Pascal actual pieces that help him and give OG Scottie more touches and trade for a star some some shooting and big like Turner
Is it time for the media to start calling Nick out? His defensive schemes are brutal and his offense is one of the worse. Players also look like they've quit on him.
Koloko needs to be sent to 905 to gain experience. Birch needs more playing time. Use your bench, and just right off this season you will just burn your stars like Siakam, OG and will get hurt again for nothing. Raptors team are just for dleague. Without stars they will not go nowhere. Nick Nurse coaching sucks big time. Letting his team down on the first quarter of the game. JA morant did not even break a sweat on this game. BARNES playing PG and did nothing just take 3s which he is not a shooter. Man, it's so hard to watch NBA now, such a Dleague competition now.
Stop screaming about they need a solid Big they had Jonas!! 😂 They rather give Bo Cruz starting minutes and DNP Thad. I’ve been saying for years this dude is a fraud. Plus the team tuned him out an I don’t blame them. This guy coaches like high school coach get rid of this dude bring in some shooters and a big. Please send Koloko to the G league for God sakes 😅
NN sucks coaching a development team, n that s it.
This game against the Grizzlies sums it up that the Raptors have no depth. The season is over with no consistent shooters, bad defence, and an overall lack of talent. This team is a lottery team and time to face reality. This is the front office fault for not improving the roster for 3 years now. They need to address all the weaknesses or else the team will continue to be imbalanced, outplayed and lose. This team will not turn it around if the front office does nothing and address all the issues.
It’s time to get a big man, it’s been time for a while now
Tank and get a competent X and O coach. A coach that is conscious of minutes, rotations, etc.
I hope NN enjoyed that gift wrapped ring.
Nick is saying what I thought, the offense is draining our defense.
We are in no man's land now…
There're lots of trolls out here. So imagine if the were our GM.
He got lucky when he took over the team . He had gasol, kawhi and Lowry and never needed his coaching style…He lost the room and guys don’t listen to him anymore….
