Scottie was brutal this game 8to
Tank culture equals losing which equals more losing.
Suggs over Scottie
Mobley over scottie
Sengun over Scottie
Franz over Scottie
Scottie in his fourth year still dribbles the ball off his own foot. How any offence could be built around this guy?
This is not a good team and nobody is developing .continue with bad habit
Yeah, after 15 years I finally gave my seasons tickets last summer after they raised the price about 20% each of the last two seasons. Not regretting that decision.
No non-casual Raptors fan wants to win this season. But we still want to be entertained. The home loss to the Knicks was entertaining. The Nets loss was an obvious, not even ethical, tank job. But still entertaining. These last three games, man. Woof.
Anybody paying to see this product live is wasting their money. I won't go see these debacles. I prefer to spend my hard earned money on concerts. At least there you are pretty much assured of a positive emotional outcome. I don't know who can afford or wants to afford these Raptors.
Scottie b is the problem.. not fully on him but the keys were put in his hand prematurely.. he isnt fit to be that #1 guy.. doesnt see the game like that, doesnt effect the game that much
I've been a season ticket holder since day one. Tonight for the first time ever in 30 years I left the arena at the end of the 3rd. I was shocked at how they have returned to the isolation offence simultaneously to losing all effort on defense. With the vets back, this team plays worse now than it did at the beginning of the year. This team wants to lose this year I get it, but there is no excuse for lack of effort. It is a sad day. We were more fun to watch in year one. At least they tried
Darko’s team is breaking all records left and right for wrong reasons.
Ok let me educate you Lu……no point guard = turnovers. You think SB a PG he has no PH handles and is way too slow. You sound like someone who has never played the game Aryana serious level. Remember jen you were delirious in 2019 when the Raptors were rolling all you said was how great they were well son they ain’t that great right now so say something intelligent and interesting or talk about Leafs. You’re a disappointment!!
Injuries youth = poor season deal with it
Accountability is becoming a big issue for the Raptors. How many guys have been benched for poor play? Scottie Barnes isn't their best player recently as far as effort goes- it's usually RJ. If someone gets more than 5 turnovers in a game, first, why are they left on the floor in that game, and why aren't they benched in the next game? Bet they'd be more careful about not making so many turnovers! I don''t see the coaches ever holding the team to account for poor play. How often do you hear Darko ever sound pissed off at the players after a horrible performance? Accountablity for poor coaching? Where on earth is their defence? What are they doing about it? I'm not seeing much pride on this team. I don't hear the players holding themselves or each other accountable, and why should they, if the coaches don't? Remember them talking about changing team culture? We're still waiting. 😠
Cade over scottie. There will be more Losing next season.Scottie will get tired , if not already. Should trade poetl now and trade scottie and iq at the draft. 4 first round picks..2 very high and build around a younger core with these draft picks plus walter, gradey,ochai,r.j. plus 2 picks next year
….
Brutal game. Time for Darko to go, he’s lost the room. No one is even trying. Scottie 2 years away from being two years away.
I encourage media members to be more vocal when talking to staff / media.
Same as fans going to games.. we get ethical tanking but be more vocal about what we’re seeing as a product..

Wishing for some Dwayne Casey pound the rock philosophy now
16:22 anyone notice how Raptors have stopped putting out post game interviews for at least 3 weeks now? 🧐
Cant believe peopple were charged to see this garbage of NBA basketball was played
I really think losing a guy like Pascal really shows this season. He was a leader. I’m not sure Scottie is a leader in that same way. I wish they kept him, and had him alongside BBQ. I don’t think this kinda game happens if Pascal is still around honestly.
Yo, I miss the days of RJ leading this team and fighting for their lives until the very inevitable losing end. No one complained about an entertaining loss while the guys learned. But man, where's the result of all that learning? Where's the improvement? Unfortunately, plenty to complain about the way this team is playing right now.
we tanking. great result.. KEEP IT UP!!!
Scottie ain't him man… 4 years in. We keep this up with no development he's gonna ask out 1000%
1. Can’t believe there was a time where Scottie was easily better than Cade. That time is long gone.
2. This team needs a veteran presence that can lead the room and help Scottie become a better leader. A loss like this doesn’t happen if vets are there.
As a Raptors fan, I sincerely mean this – I hope we don’t get a top 3 draft pick. Mainly because we don’t deserve it. Also to teach all the fans cheering ‘Tank’ that this is such a cynical strategy for the franchise.
Wasn’t expecting The Will crash out pod going in but, also wasn’t really surprised as that’s gradually what it morphed into lmao.
Completely agree with him on the points about needing to set a culture though.
