Jk I don’t watch college ball he’s just a behemoth who can shoot free throws.

Yeah we totally would’ve won this game if we had a center, even though we’re playing a bunch of g leaguers. If only we still had Precious Achiuwa

except Bobby doesn’t want to win right now so he’s trying out guards

Are people still watching games? I feel bad for the reporters that have to act like they care. The draft lottery would be all I would be writing about.

It’s funny how fast it’s hanged when we were bigger team with majority of team in that 6’9” range. Now we don’t have “size to win games”.

It’s not only size, it’s just getting someone who really gets after it on the glass. Dennis Rodman wasn’t an elite rebounder because he was a physically imposing big, it’s because he wanted it more than the other guys. Rebounding is often about how badly do you want it. Hustle is a big factor. Every game the Raptors are getting outrebounded by double digits. Olynyk does some good stuff, but in 21 games with the Raptors, he’s only had 1 game where he’s had 10 or more rebounds. 1 out of 21.
Need to get a rebounding big man next season to be coming off the bench along with Olynyk otherwise guys like Drummond, Gafford/Lively, Okongwu, Bobby Portis etc will crush us. Giving up offensive rebounds to me is the most frustrating thing to watch in basketball.
You can play elite lockdown defense, but if you don’t get the rebound, then it’s all for nothing. This is fundamental basics here.

I watched when Scottie was out, but when RJ went out I stopped. I always go to NYC raptors games, but can’t even be bothered going to the nets vs raptors game next week

Why are we talking about size, get skill first

We’ve been screaming for a center since the luxury rotation of Gasol and Ibaka. Good 5’s are few and far between

We dont really have a path to being a good play off team next year so I dont really care about size and losing right now. I care about draft position, adding talent (at any size / position) and development.
Ideally we keep our pick this year and next and add two lotto picks to this core as Scottie enters his rookie max extension in the 2025-2026 season

Poeltl meant so much. We have no other starting C.

we had a roster full of tweener 4/5s.. at some point we had an entire lineup of 6’8+ players on the floor together

No size is good right now …… for tanking.

Vision 6’9” is very blurry.
Dr-Tightpants
Gee, it’s almost like the vast majority of our bigger players are injured or something

I’ve got a great plan. Lets trade our best bigs for FRPs. The person who wins the least number of frames is #1. – our front office
eMan117
Yes, if only we had a team full of 6’9 players, then we’d be unstoppable

You have to be a Raptors addict to continue watching these games.I watch Kings and Warrior games since our season has been finished
octopus86sg
yea, they floating the idea of 6 foot 9 again. size matters but it must be surround with players who can shoot. we have a bunch of 6 foot9 back but we are such a dickhead with no one shooting decent 3s.
