Fred ain't going no where cause he's a champ same as Siakam, same as O.G. same as Achiuwa, same as Scottie, same as Poeltl, same as Boucher, same as Trent Jr., same as Flynn. Inconsistence breeds mediocrity. and a 40/41 season is on the no/no oh!/oh!. What happen to Boston? Without Jalen Brown Boston 's at crossroads. Game was off the charts and thank the fans for missed Chicago shots. Cause they where wired for sound!!!
The Raptors did what they’ve done all year. They find ways to lose, no lead is safe with this team and they just find way to lose games. Change needs to come in the off-season because this core isn’t it. I think some BIG changes needs to happen or else this team will just be an average team.
Siakam had all the calls going for him and literally went 5-11. That is totally unacceptable. You can't defend that. All his turnovers were game changers too.
Just loved what Jones said "that somthing is going to have to happen to them that jolts them so badly that they will strive to become the best player they can be and never take anything for granted".
These guys never, or very seldom criticize Nick or Fred. I'm hearing Ujiri is keeping lines open with Nurse. I don't know, maybe it's time for a coaching change. Fred turned down $114 million over 4 years, it's insane, that's a lot of money.
So embarrassing ! 19 points and they just blow it up?50% FT. and next season what we have 13th pick? Raptors is in a bad situation next season period! We need change!
I think Nick is done here now and thanks for your great work over the years but a new approach is necessary. What he said publicly about reevaluating his future was unconscionable. No confidence in his bench but then you never give them enough minutes to get into a flow. Pascal and Fred are one and two in usage in the league. Fred is being eaten alive against Zack who is going off and is one of the most athletic guys in the league. Why not Banton on him for a bit to play him hard, knock him around a little and eat some fouls? You've got a 16 to 19 point lead for quite a while, you have to have more rotation players into the game if only for two-three minutes to rest your main guys. Shooting is a constant issue with this team. Only half your free throws?! For real!? Lots of off season decisions on players with an eye to managing the cap. Good luck Bobby and Masai!
I have to wonder if the Raptors, including Nick Nurse (if he's back), are ever going to start taking every loss personally. All season, I heard from Nick Nurse and various players "it's just one game" after a close loss. In game, it translates into "it's just one missed shot, one missed free throw, or one missed cover". They never ever seemed to get shocked out of their complacency by any of those losses or mistakes. Over the course of the season, the ridiculous number of close losses added up to the play-in game. Over the course of the last game, the ridiculous number of missed free throws, ill-timed turnovers, and bad play decisions added up to the early season exit. So, is it time to develop a greater sense of urgency over those small mistakes and close losses that add up the the disappointing exit? This team has way too much talent to have faded out this early. They should have been 4th in the east. The play-in should never have become an issue.
The ball movement was great in the first half, second half everything slowed down and reverted back to Fred Hero ball. Siakam is absolutely terrible in the clutch, the anti clutch personified. Deebo's daughter screaming on every free throw sitting next to Nav is seared in their brains.
No one admitted that Beverly was his perfectionist pest self. He shut down Toronto in the second half and we allowed Levine to get his match up with Fred. WTF was Fred doing guarding Levine. Blew by him time after time.
These jokers are afraid to say ‘boo’ about the problems with this team. Praising head office and the coaching staff ??? Are you insane. This entire organization has been hideous. When you are concerned about your job you aren’t the right person to ask these questions and answers from.
Did Nurse start vacay early? Where are the adjustments, time-outs? Barton as a vet and Thad would have been usable and not hurtful. Instead play starts for 40 mins and they have nothing to close the game out with
🤣🤣🤣 Hats off to DeRozan's Bulls. They were the better team. This game re-emphasises that this Raptors team is NOT better than it's record. This is the type of game we've been having all season and lost 20-30 times (conservatively). You gotta keep Barnes, Poeltl, and OG. Blowup the rest of this trash team–including NN–for all I care. This team "choked" (I believe) to get rid of NN. That would explain their total mental collapse in the 2nd half. Game ball goes to Derozan's daughter for the blood curdling screams during all our FTs that seemed to really affect our mentally weak players. 🤣🤣🤣 RAPS 1-2-3 CANCUN!!!
Raptors we’re not there best this game or this season but this was never going to be a contending season the team has to grow through losses and failure. Be patient and try to enjoy the journey in the words of Ricky Bobby if you’re not first you’re last
Jack don't wish more fvv years on us. His time has expired here but we thank him for 2019. He was paid for it now wish him luck and find a point guard that's happy involving others.
I said if before, Fred was the main reason Raptors lost. Playing hero ball every chance he got meanwhile letting Zach Lavin cruise past his ass every time. Blow this team up now. Good luck with that Masai Ujuri.
The new 6'9 Vision might've ended tonight. Predicting big changes next season. Nicks face when Vucevic shooting the final freethrows was something. Might be the last time we see a lot of these guys in a Raptors jersey appreciated their tenure…good final episode too
Masai is washed!!!! He should just quit still evaluating this team. The 6'9 vision has no one who can play D, make/create plays for others. 6'9 guys are pathetic as hell with rim protection, soft as charmin – giving up And1s like Hudson Bay's out of style.
I love Demar and not happy he was ever traded. His daughter supporting her dad with a shrieking squeal every free throw cost them the game though. The players know who was screaming at them. She got in their head. They're human. The players complained to the ref. Nothing was done. Not her fault. Staff should have stepped in. Is this the new NBA? Is this karma because of the trade years ago?
Embarrassing behaviour by the Rosen’s family, that was low class shit. I’ll be the last time we see him sitting courtside ever, if the Raptors actually have a pair of balls and a backbone
18 missed free throws. 50% from the line in a “loser goes home” game. They make 5 more (which would still represent a dismal 64%) and they win. 5 more out of 18. As many here have said, the Raptors found ways to lose all season long – especially blowing Q4 leads. And to those who defend NN saying it’s not the coaches fault, just watch his unemotional commentary after the game. He should have been furious, frustrated, humiliated AND admitted he played a part in their lacklustre season. He showed little emotion. Thanks for the great years, Nick, time to go. Glad this year of disappointments is finally over – too bad it ended with such a whimper . . .

they missed 18 free throws so Nick should be fired?
Same as Banton, same as Koloko, same as all Raptors players that have ever worn the armor. I don't know ……………………………….
These 4 look so sad. As am I… wasted opportunity, Randy was so quiet tonight lol😢
I wonder if Demar's daughter would do that against the Miami Heat. 😂
Disgustingly embarrassing…let a child get in their heads…fucking pathetic.

Lol heard Derozan's daughter is banned for the Miami game

Why the fuck we allow that annoying girl do that shit whole game!?

Thanks to pascal for being an all star and our ONLY bright spot this season

Anunoby is leaving this summer!

A screaming little girl brought professional athletes to their knees.

Hahaha all of these Raptors looking for huge contracts and what have they got to show for it. No results means no big paydays. Fact.
These jokers are afraid to say ‘boo’ about the problems with this team. Praising head office and the coaching staff ??? Are you insane. This entire organization has been hideous. When you are concerned about your job you aren’t the right person to ask these questions and answers from.
Fred has a players option for next year he can exercise it if he wants
Did Nurse start vacay early? Where are the adjustments, time-outs? Barton as a vet and Thad would have been usable and not hurtful. Instead play starts for 40 mins and they have nothing to close the game out with

Need to move on from Fred and Siakam. The clutch players are Scottie and OG. They need the ball in their hands when the game is on the line.
The new 6'9 Vision might've ended tonight. Predicting big changes next season. Nicks face when Vucevic shooting the final freethrows was something. Might be the last time we see a lot of these guys in a Raptors jersey appreciated their tenure…good final episode too
Leo enjoying them fry’s

Loss felt like when we got swept by the wizards
I love Demar and not happy he was ever traded. His daughter supporting her dad with a shrieking squeal every free throw cost them the game though. The players know who was screaming at them.

Okay, Sherm’. I stand corrected. 18 missed free throws is not NN, and, certainly, it was unfortunately contagious.
Embarrassing behaviour by the Rosen’s family, that was low class shit. I’ll be the last time we see him sitting courtside ever, if the Raptors actually have a pair of balls and a backbone
What do you do with Trent? gets 30 then cant hit the side of a barn the next game… on any given night.
NOT GIVING UP ON THE RAPTORS. WE THE NORTH ❤❤
The raptors insisting on letting Fred be a star #1 or 2 option is killing them. His ego is too big to admit he’s a role player
Replace the entire broadcast crew, its time forvsome new blood.
Fuck this team, blow it up.
Raptors are trash
18 missed free throws. 50% from the line in a “loser goes home” game. They make 5 more (which would still represent a dismal 64%) and they win. 5 more out of 18.
