Tbh I think RJ is the 1st option.
9:45 Learn how to coach Defense first.
Not having talent is one thing. Not being able to have defensive schemes and making the team play with effort is not good.
Long season. Just need to be more aggressive. Short memory with this one. Hope IQ is alright. š
Well.. at least chris had a good night š¤¦āāļø
Lets gooooo raptors š no big deal, onto the next watchout philly
To get smashed like that on opening night at home is a coaching issue. Once quickley went down the team was clueless what to do.
Love this team. Bright future.
Fire Darko he can't coach for š©
Darko is not the coach to lead us to a championship I said it so did @nbanav said it š
Donāt understand the outfit bro however told you to dress like Diddy ā¦ fire him/her
the defense of this team went south when coach NN left, jsus chrst
Donāt understand the outfit bro however told you to dress like Diddy ā¦ fire him/her I cannot concentrate on what Barns is saying either this outfit what a shame
Yo this team humbled me hard tn. š supreme ass, forgot we tanking
Rj is the best player on the team. Not having him on the floor didnt give us the spacing we need. It is what it is. We got smacked. So what. Come back friday and see what happens.
Barnes is just a Robin and he needs a Batman
On the bright side y'all set a new home opening record š
30-point L on the Raptors' 30th anniversary. What a way to commemorate the start of the season. #WeTheNorth
Poor darko never had a chanceā¦
Hi Raptors This ones for Darko. Poeltl needs to stop being the gentle giant. Remember at the end of last year, when Poeltl was grabbin rebounds and stompin on guys his size. When Poeltl has tabasco in his cereal and it burns to be losing, that's when you actually start playing at your level. Hopefully Darko doesn't wait till half season. An easy day or a double practice day should have a warm-up session of mid-court basketball shooting then shooting full court like the one Gradey tossed, but working at, at least hitting the rim to start. Then back to mid-court shooting at the net, just like my friend Pritchard. Why you think Pritchard made that shot in the NBA finals last year? Because he has practiced it on repeat. I'd like to come in to practice or talk to the strength & conditioning coach. Miss a shot in practice and give me 10 push-ups. You'll learn quick soon that you hate push-ups and that it's much better to work on technique. Either way you get stronger and you work on shooting when your arms are fatigued and burning from lactic acid. You *unts need to be men or at least start mingling without being or looking like snotty nose brats and gain your R.E.S.P.E.C.T. from veterans. On the court is strictly business, off court your friends or not, it doesn't matter. The coach needs to lash you with a willow stick when you slack. No slacking. The willow stick don't hurt but draws concentration to have you get back on vision. (ONLY at practice) Also learn when to sell a foul and if not called get up and get going. No time to cry or pout or piss and moan. Let's Go Raptors, Let's Go!!!
Scottie got paid and now he's checked out
Road to 0-82
The game went to the Cavs on the first tip in/offensive goal tending, then the almost shooting foul when the foul was on the ground. Then they started to play bully ball on Grady. That first body check/push to his hip on the high screen, then the flagrant 1 no call on his attempt going to the rim took the wind out of the team. It was basically a sign that the refs were going to give the game to Cleveland. "That's Marc Davis".
Barnes was useless and coaching forget about it
We lucky for boucher
lotta yall in the comments pissed about this loss but this core is deadass going no where unless we get a top pick this year. Scottie is clearly not a no.1 just from how he plays we need someone like coop or ace. Its not a bad thing to be bad this year, its our only chance at being good in the future.
When are the Raptors going to realize they need floor spacers? You canāt play Davion and Jamal together. You need to play your best shooters against a team like Cleveland, who can defend the paint. This was a terrible coaching jobāI couldnāt believe how the coaching staff came up with this game plan tonight.
