The Toronto Raptors have a 2-4 record as they head into a matchup with Victor Wembanyama on Sunday. Scottie Barnes has taken a leap, O.G Anunoby is mimicking All-Defensive impact, Otto Porter is slowly climbing into form, Pascal SIakam and Gary Trent can’t figure out the offense or defense, and people are justifiably worried about the pending free agency, draft pick surrender.
But I think the Toronto Raptors are 2 moves away from possibly unlocking one of the most unlikely contenders of all time… it’s hiding in plain sight. And no one can see it. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe I’m crazy. Wouldn’t be the first time. Won’t be the last.

I want to feel the same way but let's face it… Our shooters are not consistent enough.. we have no Dogs. Scotty will be one soon but Raps needed changes now because Masai and Bobby mess up our team.. Losing guys for nothing over and over again. We the Nort is not even Load anymore.. For years we had the best home court fans.. Now don't even expect to get consistency from our team only inconsistency. We are a mess and Unfortunately we will have to trade guys that should still be here had Masai and Bobby do their Jobs. Boucher is mess.. Jacob Poeltl is a hot mess.. He can't even make a shot near the basket.. We have all the wrong peices.. Nurse squeezed out as much has he should. why are we not using Freeman Liberty.. He can't be worse than Malaki. Our entire organization is hot mess
Chris Boucher 12 million,Trent 18 million, Thad 8 million, Porter 6.5 million, Flynn 4 million, Gary Temple 5.5 million.
Equates to 54 million of Trash Players, that's over 50 million of wasted and pointless money.
This is on Masai, WTF is he drinking. Just dumb. .
Rob..can u explain 2 me one thing. WTF would he pick up 8 million contract on Thad, it was a 1 million 2 buy out.
Stupidity….so dumb.
I would be pretty happy if the raptors managed to get aj griffin and patty mills at this point
Love it. I have been saying the same thing . That half court offence is coming ! And the rise of Scotty is fantastic !
Nope want to keep Scottie. Tatum is not it.
I don't under stand why the front office didn't pick up more shooters after signing Dennis
Why is nobody on this team willing to take a charge?
Pascal seems lost with the loss of Fred.
Rob's advice to the Toronto media. "Read a book". Good leadership. Address the problem. Provide a solution đ
Sorry to say but someone's defense is really bad!
The King of ALL Raptors Media!!!! Preach and educate!! Minute 40!!!! Keep on Keepin On My Man!!!
The Raptors biggest problem is the fact that the owners of the leagues will do what it takes , through the refs, to sabotage the Raptors. That Chicago game was disgraceful
Yeah. The raptors are 2 moves away from being two moves away from being a team that could win a playin game.
Going to be a long season but I appreciate the misplaced optimism
Pascal reminiscent of a baller ina. đ€Ł
The worst play of the season by far was in the Chicago game when Pascal got stripped by Caruso and jogged back on D, while Boucher and another player ran out to stop Lavine's drive. Pascal kept sauntering up the middle of the court guarding no one as Boucher dove out to challenge Caruso's 3 as Pascal still wasn't up the court. Caruso hits the shot, Game over.
U trolling?đ
Zero Superstars found
I like OG, Jakob, and Schroder as a defensively inclined, higher IQ supporting cast of veteran talents around Scottie. Everything else ought to be up for potential shakeup. We need another reliable 20+ppg scorer, shooters, and 1 additional big beside the growing Koloko, and it doesnât NEED to be precious. The old era is over, someone tell Masai.
Since Masai isnât going to tear things down fully in-season, most likely will be selling Siakam for 60c on the $ and asking OG to step up. We should all be fine with that.
Yes, man…. I've been feeling the same just from the eye test. Thanks for doing the research and backing it up with the data.
My prediction is Siakam will be traded. I can tell to his gestures and beside lets not waste his talent, lets trade him and get a player that can help SB & OA
