  2. AreYouAJedi

    im sad for the end if a great era but its time to embrace the tank

  3. pallychoo

    I know they’re tanking but sheesh this is a bad loss

  4. Scottie, Barrett and Thad Young played well. the rest need to get it together man

    I know half our role players are in trade rumors but goddamn.

    Can’t wait for Poeltl to come back. our defense is SHIT

  5. Cheechers23

    Massive victory for Team Keep the Pick

    Big loss for Team Convey the Pick

  6. Such_Maintenance4720

    we are actually a bottom 6 team in the league lmao

    we didn’t even try to be either, that’s the sad part

  7. Raptorsthrowaway1

    I dont want to hear “We are rebuilding” or any other excuse. That was a disgraceful effort tonight. I don’t care about losing, but how are we being out hustled on our home floor against the Memphis G League team. Just embarrassing effort from everyone other than RJ, Scottie and Thad.

    Multiple nights this year we have come out without any game plan or any sort of defensive integrity get in a hole and cannot come back. How is Darko preparing these guys for these games?!

  8. Unkempt_Foliage

    Well our next game isn’t for four days and there is no travel so we at least have sometime to work on things.

  9. unclekarl_

    THIS LOSS WAS A HUGE WIN FOR TANK COMMANDER!

    We’re officially in position to keep our pick

  10. drewtheblueduck

    Downside: We may never win again

    Upside: we got a “Barnes Young Dick, Quickly Barrett!” lineup tonight

  11. SirMrJames

    Honestly the best loss you could ask for in terms of draft

  12. DannyzPlay

    This is it folks, raptors rebuild basketball has officially arrived!
    Strap in, it’s about to be a long and bumpy ride.

  13. The_Notorious_Donut

    I’m having such a good time rubbing it in Knicks fans faces how well RJ is doing

  14. 6th best odds, RJ and Scottie cooked tonight and we’re probably trading Bruce for a center tomorrow. I’m almost fine with how awful tonight’s game was.

  15. ZoroChopper10

    Thad young was our 3rd best player

    Feels like our vets checked out, brown, schodor, Boucher

  16. Must lose game ✅. Here we come 6th pick.

    But for real. This team had bad defence and rebounding. The offence looked awful. Quickly and Schroeder could not run point to save their lives.

    at least Scottie and RJ played well.

  17. BeNiceMan99

    Scottie had 22/12/8 with 6(!!!) blocks on 14 shots with a +2 in the 8 point loss.

    ​

    But judging from the game thread, you would think he was playing horrible. I cannot believe the “criticism” for the kid this franchise has decided to build around. I get that we suck & I get that you miss OG and Siakam. But ffs, grow up. This kid is REALLY good at basketball & he’s 22. Some “fans” are insufferable.

  18. Thaddeus Young was our third best player tonight lol

  19. Altruistic-Emu7152

    Did Jontay get benched or was his eye injury that bad?

  20. TaylorRooksBathwater

    It’s pretty embarrassing that the Grizzlies are getting production out of Vince Williams and GG Jackson while we’re still out here watching 40-year-old Thad Young miss easy layups lol. We have very little to look forward to outside of Scottie and some picks, shit is bleak tbh.

  21. PageFlicker

    I stopped watching after the third quarter to hard to watch and didn’t need to feel depressed before bed.

  22. eLevateAFFN

    Alexandre Sarr or Cody Williams will be sexy in a raptors jersey

  23. i wouldve fallen asleep if not for Scottie and RJ (and Dennis too)

  24. Sensitive_Potato5128

    To all you bums in the game thread – We’re tanking. We are going to lose. A lot. There is absolutely no benefit to beating the Memphis Grizzlies right now. You all wanted to blow it up and trade everyone now you’re surprised we suck. Gtfo

  25. murphyslamz

    Putting Gradey in during crunch time seemed like a tanking move to me

  26. Scottie was playing insanely well on both ends of the floor, he almost got 25/10/10/5.

  27. pascalshaka

    Shoutout to Thad young. Showing the young guys how to play the right way. Rough showing from everyone not named Scottie, RJ and Thad

  28. CageyCanadian

    Fakest of comebacks but I liked what I was seeing in the 4th. Scottie was out of sorts at first but had an excellent second half. RJ is a bucket. Grady > Gary. Building chemistry will take time.

  29. Digi_awesome

    I need to leave this sub man. We had a sub 500 record, then traded some of our best players and are gearing up for a rebuild and you guys are complaining? Put aside the effort, no one likes playing for a bad team but we’re also trying to lose. What did y’all expect after trading OG and Pascal? Games are gonna be ugly, that’s what it’s like to be a bad team and if you don’t like that you really don’t have to watch, and if you think Masai’s done with the trades, you’re probably wrong.

  30. Tough loss tonight for sure. But after the Pascal trade. I have zero expectations for this team.

    Raps need to learn how to win again. Unfortunately, that is also part of the development process.

    They got no crutch. No Siakam to help get a bucket. No OG to lock down on D. They are going to have to learn how to win without them and step it up.

    Shout out to RJ’s hustle tonight.

  31. JoshSran04

    RJ and scottie gave the team all they got but no one else did anything asside from maybe thad and schroeder

  32. elegantagency_

    The raptors are gonna be bad for a long time. I don’t see any stars on this team other than Scottie and RJ. Everyone else including IQ not looking consistent at all.

  33. GeniusMouthBreather

    Could’ve watched Embiid and KAT make history instead of this sorry ass game

  34. cad_internet

    Terrible defense + terrible guard play = losing to a terrible team. DS with some mind-numbingly bad TOs. Gets picked off on an inbounds play and does a ??? double dribble. Can’t finish at all. IQ with TOs and couldn’t hit shots. But boy, GTJ is just special. He is useless out there if people are not feeding him open shots. Disgusting on D, on the boards, just looking like he’s out there doing cardio and avoiding injuries.

    RJ another efficient game. Very good offensive game. No, I didn’t anticipate RJ would outplay IQ by this much.

    Thad is clearly being put in an unfair situation. However, he knows how to play with Barnes and you see those two clicking.

    Boucher with his patented key mistake every game. Frustrating player and he needs to be traded for anything.

    Barnes had a great game. 8 assists but could’ve been way more if people could finish his passes. Yes he turned the ball over a ton, and missed some easy shots, but he played his ass off and made great plays. 6 blocks is just ridiculous.

  35. passiveparrot

    30mil for quickly is sounding crazier by the day 

  36. Dreadmaker

    For everyone who’s saying that Poeltl isn’t important or wasn’t worth a FRP – him not being there is _easily_ the reason we lost tonight.

    Jakob isn’t letting them get 20 offensive boards, and it was hardly a blowout – if he gets even 5 of those 20 back, we win, probably.

    Him not being there lately has been a really huge factor in why we’ve been so bad – we don’t have a defensive big to anchor us in there. The team looks completely different with him there, and when he’s back, I’m pretty confident the difference will be immediate.

    *Also*, related, although Thad has been honestly playing amazingly lately, we need a proper backup center. I think Jontay might be that thing one day (even soon), but still – getting a good young center back in for example a Bruce Brown trade or through the draft would be great. I’m super bummed that Koloko didn’t work out after all – I was excited about him.

  37. Do people think we end up 6th we’re 100% keeping our pick lmfaooo?

  38. These n00bs are not gonna out tank us for the top 6. Amateurs.

  39. b3amfl3ot91

    The story of the game was being too sloppy with the turnovers and just the lack of hustle to overcome the size difference.

    We need Yak back

    Brown didn’t look like he particularly cared about this game except for a couple possessions

    Trent was invisible

    IQ was off

    Scottie needs to play with more poise

    Jontay looked like a G leaguer in a very short stint

    RJ was solid

    Thad shouldn’t be playing this much but we literally have no choice

    We have 4 short guards and our centre is 6’8″

    We missed like 4 layups in a row from 4 different players in back to back possessions

    No one can screen properly

    Lack of focus and predisposition coming into the game

  40. SlapThatAce

    The fun losing is over, this team is now unbearable to watch. Couple of things:

    1. IQ is running blindly into walls and can’t hit any buckets. Is this what he is? If so, then Toronto got duped into trading OG for RJ.

    2. Young was an absolute work horse tonight!
