trade siakam
Trent failed us. We need 3 point shooting from the bench.

Highlights of Raptors recent history. Lose to Celtics in bubble because how do you win when you have 2 six foot point guards, 1 very inconsistent small forward, a center that was left wide open because his closest thing to offense was throwing 3 point bricks and a power forward getting double and triple teamed because he has no help. Next couple years, some decent players on the bench who don't get playing time and when they do it is in situations they are not used to or during cleanup duty; Matt Thomas was a huge loss. Trade away good bench players and don't develop young players well. Draft Scottie Barnes, okay. He wasn't and still isn't ready to start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starting last year, they lose game after game in the 4th quarter and never come back themselves. The team: Poetl is a solid consistent center and an upgrade. OG under Nurse has had very slow development. With his talent, he should be a star by now. Gary Trent has some down games but is a solid shooting guard, Van Vleet is still learning to run the offense and get other players involved, but he is always improving. Siakam is a very good player that would star on any other team. He needs help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The bench is okay and can develop except for players like Malachi Flynn that will fly the coupe and become a solid star with somebody else. Let's guess where the problem lies. Um maybe Nick NurseđŠ
I stopped with 9m left in the 4th. Thinking they would make 2 more 3pters for the McDonaldâs fries. My disappointment when I woke up this morning was tremendous
Good show guys. Thanks for your excellent coverage all season
Lebronto đđ€Ł
Raps security failed us
I do love your humour Alex! You both make me smile! Sooo disappointing. It was shocking to watch it unfold. It felt like we had it in the bag.
Please discuss that yes, Fred had some great Offence BUT, BUT he had some absolutely horrible offence last night. Why does Fred do this consistently! Why???
I noticed the screaming on the very first FT, and realized by the 2nd Player at the line that it was from opposing team. Didn't know it was Demar's daughter until near the end of the game when the camera went to her. WOW…I wonder if it impacted? Horrible FThrowing last night.
So glad I found your show this year, easily my favourite place for Raptors review. Thanks for quality programming and endless laughs. BTW I traveled to Toronto to watch the Miami game and bought some bubble tea just because of you guys đ
My bros, this was a great episode and was therapy for me – very entertaining and the facts!
Not that ive ever blamed Bobby, but Masai has elevated him and put him as the voice of the organization.
When you have a robot as a GM, what kinda culture are you gonna make?
Robots dont know heart.
All we heard this year was, 'we need more effort'
Might as well be saying 'we need more energon'
wait who is derek and JR. are they both producers. whats the difference bt the 2
Youâre being very diplomatic, Will. I watched that game on my iPad with headphones, and that kidâs screeching was beyond annoying. Honestly … the first time I heard it I nearly jumped out of my seat. And then I was talking to the screen, asking them to locate that brat and tell them to stfu. The missed free throws were the obvious difference in the game. Demar DeRozen finally got his revenge for the way that trade was handled.
Iâve been a fan of Nick Nurse since before the championship. But given way he handled that question about his future, and how disingenuous he was whenever it was brought up afterwards, and how his many âschemesâ appear to be a challenge for players on most nights … I think itâs time for a change. Be it Ime Udoka or Earl Watson, a change is gonna come.
Pat bev was right. this team is trash
What an embarrassing ending.
fred was guarding Zach which allowed Zach drive to the paint so easily. Then he hogged the offense in the second half. I hope fred walks i am tired of him taking horrible shots and play bad defense.
People needs to understand if Fred is our core we aint winning any championship. Fred should be a 6th man and that is it.
All Fred cares about is his money and stats
This team will never win with Fred and Pascal leading them. Both guys are not good in the clutch. Fred for a volume shooter shoots a horrible percentage. Then you have Pascal who can't throw a ball in the ocean whenever those last 12 mins start counting down. That only takes away from what OG and Scottie can do consistently in the 4th.
If you just saw the team stats, you would've thought we had Andre Drummond
12:05 – Scottie is on his development curve, and he should take over
But, Fred is on that contract curve, and you know he wants to go hero ball. That hinders Scottie greatly
This is on Fred and Nick
28:13 – players should use that scream as background noise while working on thier shots by themselves
Raps fan in Europe and this was indeed the one game I watched this year. Glad I âmissedâ the season.
Too many forwards, guards are too selfish. Start over. Also Will says he never makes excuses for the team but constantly trips over himself to make an excuse for Fred or Siakam. If we're paying guys max money who can be shook by a little girl yelling ship them off yesterday. Nick talking about taking time after the season literally did zero to change how trash this team is lol. Only people who it made a difference to is Raptors fans and media who have the victim complex and can't believe he'd want to leave this trash roster that the front office so graciously has molded for him over 3 miserable years. Nick isn't the right coach for this team because the team is bad and won't be good for years if they keep the core.
NN just danced around the questions
My defense has been sharply lowered đđđđđđ
