It’s OBVIOUS Now…
Folks it is obvious it is clear to me it is clear to anyone that watched the last three minutes of this basketball game the Toronto Raptors versus the Washington Wizards and if you are one of those fans that watch that you are truly a sicko a Saturday night you’re watching
This horrific sort of game that’s going on by two of the League’s worst teams here now at this point the Raptors who are on a 10 game losing streak it’s obvious to me that regardless of if they’re purposely tanking or not I don’t think this team coached by Darko Messi
At the helm the players trying to earn their stripes earn their spots are actively trying to lose the games you know not trying to play well however when things get tight when things get close and you have that opportunity to snatch defeat straight out of the hands
Of Victory the Raptors are going all out on that tank in 2024 I know people are saying in the comment section and of the belief of this too don’t get me wrong I’m of the belief that this team is trying they’re they traded away their two vets star
Players Pascal and ogi and anobi they trade away them and then you know an un an uncomplete roster an incomplete roster they’ve dealt with a bunch of injuries and players away from the team this team is cooked right but down the stretch of this game there’s no hiding
It here now at this point there’s no argument against it I don’t I don’t even have to speak on this I wouldn’t have to if people watch the close of this game but the Toronto Raptors sold that whoever’s whoever’s on team tank they’re watching that game and they’re looking
At Kelly o to make a point you know top of the key pass to the corner chucking it straight into the 10th row of that Washington Wizards Arena they’re watching that and they’re they’re saying I’m breaking out someone cooky because the Raptors they sold this game
They were up pretty well they they had this game in pretty good control and tanky fans I’m rooting for this team to lose now at this point I’m rooting for amazing games from our players you know younger guys stepping up but we want these losses The Season’s a lost cause
Here now at this point we want that draft pick so I’m on that team sort of Route against the the Raptors here now yeah how can you not be at least but holy smokes the Clos of this game was was shocking Kelly oen the point to the
The corner pass out to the out to the way that was bananas possession after Gary Trent Jr who put up a lot of points in this game definitely wasn’t the most efficient night but we’ll still give credit to Gary Trent Jr whenever he puts in 31 points but you know 10 of 26
Shooting and one of seven from the three-point line but came in and for the buckets he was getting he had some stuff in the mid-range he had some stuff around the court in this game but Gary Trent Jr really struggles finishing around the basket now it’s a bit
Egregious and I don’t want to extrapolate him he came in for a dunk down the stretch of this game and just absolutely thrunk it straight off the front of the rim but those are in back-to-back possessions in crucial moments of this game Grady dick who had a good game
Tonight as well Grady dick who I I made a video on earlier praising him for bouncing back and he’s been good in the past couple games had early hot start in this game as well but completely airball to three this is all within the last 3
Minutes the Wizards are going on a run they had a couple airballs themselves these are two Elite peak of their Prime all Talent at tanking two of these teams are right at it right now and the Raptors just outdid them they just outdid him folks again I got
To make this graphic for losses here now at this point the celebratory sort of L’s that are going on cuz it’s not a win streak and we’re on a 10 game L streak right now for this Raptors group and again it’s it’s just we’ve accepted it here now at this point the
Loss is piling up I’m of the belief we could catch the Blazers I’m praying Toano Banton steps up scoot has a close to the season that’s a rookie of the year caliber but if they win three games to close out this year the Blazers do and we continue on this stretch continue
On this just L after L after L after L we’re getting that top five pick like or we’re in the top five odds to get our drapping that’s just what’s going to happen like we’re we’re passing the Grizzlies who thankfully won last night but I think it’s doable guys I think
It’s doable to catch the Portland Trailblazers this loss to the wizard solidified my confidence in this team losing every game for the rest of the season maybe they’ll prove me wrong maybe that won’t be the case but the master class at the end of this one with
Chucked passes into the 10th row thrks out the front of the rim air balled shots left right and Center I mean what can we what can we take away from this game other than this team is optimized you know with all the injuries with all the players out of the lineup
We optimized for that tank but there were some positives again I’m out here I’m still rooting for my old Toronto Raptors kelly lck didn’t have seven turnovers in this game so that’s a positive but one crazy one at the end had 1410 two steals or 14 10 assists six
Rebounds two steals one block filling up the stat sheet as always Gary already addressed him jamas Ramsey with the start only 18 minutes played some solid defense was a plus nine for this game I’m surprised they didn’t play him more just given his impact on the defensive end but eight points four rebounds
Interesting that he got the start on this team as well so that’s uh you know that’s interesting stuff there but uh you know Garrett Temple three points good stuff you know one to two from the field Bruce Brown Point Bruce Brown 11 points six rebounds three assists getting those stats up you know
So we can potentially trade him at this year’s uh this year’s NBA draft but Jordan War again 16 minutes seven points 3 six is continues to be a little bit of a bucket for the Toronto Raptors Off the Bench but doesn’t get a lot of run JFL
One of five from the Field Four Points Mohammad duay a guy on rooting for and people say I’m pronouncing his name wrong every pronunciation I see of it is Mohamad duay so I I could be wrong but I’m just I’m just leaning with that but poor fellow man two points had that
Hor really really rough game the other night where he was getting some opportunity getting some run I’m praying he just has a couple really solid NBA games so stays in the league keeps getting his money keeps getting that paycheck so that’s uh that’s my hope for Mohammad but I don’t know what analysis
You want from you know Raptor’s team who’s rebuilding and without five of their best players the Washington Wizards who are the League’s worst team we’re now on two- game win streak maybe we catch the Wizards at this point you know in terms of in terms of the tank if
They play us twice they’re getting a couple wins but if we don’t get this draft pick because there’s a lot of risks in losing games like this and again I’m sure this wasn’t Messi Jerry’s plan wasn’t his sort of approach following the trade dead line with everything that was said
With everything that went on but you run the risk of instilling a losing culture in this group like a really bad one and if it’s all for nothing if it’s all for the Spurs to get that seventh overall pick I’m just going to fly out to to
Adam Silver we all know the Spurs the lottery luck that they tend to get if Adam Silver gives the Spurs is seventh pick in this year’s draft steals it from us I’m boycotting the NBA I’m G use my platform use all the digest media I’ll get the Knicks in there Nicks digest Celtic
Sixers I’ll get i’ll get heat digest Lakers digest Thunder digest is loading up soon Warriors digest is loading up soon we’re boycotting the NBA this is what’s going to happen I don’t know folks I I’ve had some rans up following these games I don’t know why I’m watching this it’s
It’s my job now so I guess I have to but it’s rough it’s rough anyways I’m signing out cheers
The Toronto Raptors are on a 10 Game Losing streak right now, however, despite the injuries and players out of the line up the close of this game made things pretty clear what’s happening with this Raptors team. Ben Rogers breaks it down.

No I didn’t watch! Why would I watch with March madness being on at the same time? I’ll take the NCAA tournament any day over a regular season meaningless Raptor game!
It's official. We're the new Pistons.
I watched and enjoyed the young guys working hard. I am excited about the Raptor's team next year ! It will be so interesting what the team might look like next year. I am looking for grit next year. Also are the Raptor's TALL enough.
NO MORE NBA
Your job is to watch March madness and educate your subscribers on potential Raptors first round picks, over a meaningless Raptors wizards game!
The draft I heard is very weak this year. What kind of player will they get even if they get a top pick?
Lmaooo if we boycott the nba adam just gonna move our team to vegas. The Las Vegas raptors would win a chip next season tho if this happened
Keep the tank commanders for next year we want to lose next season too!
It's obvious…. going for the draft pick!!!
You're not boycotting. You're not giving up the digest income, the half dozen platforms that have spawned from your channel.
Raptors will probably suck next year, this draft sucks, so realistically its better we get 7th
Cut Trent, find a suitor for Jakob, sign undrafted FA like a FVV and load up for 26 27 and 28
In Masai we trust
Rather lose than win tbh
I watched the game tonite! It was a battle of who wants to lose more badly! 10 straight losses now. I think they will clear the table and lose every single game left in the season. It shud be obvious to everyone that they are losing games on purpose! Hope it works out and we get the number 1 overall pick in next years draft!
Listen to all fans under the ujiri vodoo spell make me sick men.
How many beers, Ben? 🦖🪖🍕🍺
I'm loving the tankathon. And it helps that our key players are injured. I feel that way were not developing a toxic losing habit, only a temporary necessary one for our draft odds.
I was like "what y'all doing Raps?" last 3 min. "Wooh, thought y'all was trying to win" 😂
Just watch Olynyk and Bruce Brown at the end of the games, they have been the Tank agents for the front office for a while now. 😂 I kind of feel sorry for the rest of the team because they look like they really want to win.
6th or less speeds this nightmare up considerably.
7th or higher…an additional year of pain.
Let’s get this season over.
One solid draft pick
2 solid signings
We will be fine
Raptors should try to get Jordan Hawkins imagine having him and Grady both on the floor two of the best shooters in the 2023 draft class 😂 klay and curry 😂
Fred van vleet drops 10 3s in 3 quarters
I am a huge fan this is so ugly omg. Time to fire both GM’s
Raps can still lose the draft pick if a team moves up over them in the televised Lottery. And a team has moved up from 7 or lower each of the past few seasons. If one team leapfrogs the Raps they will drop to 7, if they finish 6th. The only glimmer of hope is that the Raps move up in the Lottery but even then there are no real difference makers in the top 10 draft picks. The top media hyped draft prosect Alex Sarr is a serious project. I see players in the 11-25 range that may be just as good and some even better than the current projected top 10 draft picks.
Thanks Uijiri LOL
Gary Trent can’t make a lay up unless he’s wide open and never passes the ball on a fast break 3 on 1
NBA draft is rigged and Canada isn't getting it.
