The Raptors Are Making It Too Obvious Now..
The Toronto Raptors produced one of the most egregious attempts at tanking in their recent game against the Orlando Magic.. but still won the game. Despite doing so, it made their intentions for the rest of the season extremely obvious. However, with by far the easiest remaining schedule in the NBA, can they still put themselves in serious contention for the first overall pick and Cooper Flagg?
Masai Ujiri is seriously going to try..

Man shame on the magic. I’m genuinely impressed they lost. Their coaches reaction to Jakobes gamewinner says it all, he knew we tried to slide them a free win 😂
Had to be embarrassing for the Magic having their starters get beat by the kids.
So excited to see the raptors next season hopefully we can secure the pick
I swear I love the Raptors, but hoping they lose to achieve a high draft pick has been frustrating… I mean one they keep winning… and two the teams below them aren't winning😅😅
We just have to change our mindset. They didn’t try to lose on purpose but they put young talent in positions they normally wouldn’t be in and see how they develop and respond.
These younger players are developing and growing building the winning culture playing the bench in clutch situations is great for there experience
No more half measures. Sit bbq and Poeltl and ideally we have a Shead or Robinson injury as well. Something that makes us play with no pg or no center or something drastic.
Isn't Flagg staying at Duke for year 2?
We have to keep doing what we did. How many players could we realistically sit to make enough of a difference.
I might be the only one who sees the Raptors activity trying to loose and throw games as horrible
I don't want to hear from you saying that they were tanking and it was pretty embarrassing when half this damn fan base been crying about tanking. Save it
it's a 905 championship tune up.
If they make it to the g-league playoffs, schedule the games at the Scotiabank.
It’s crazy how this guy won’t criticise the franchise at all huge booster. The only one worse I’ve seen is raptors digest
Horrible game
i will bet my 1978 Ford Pinto Raps not getting Flagg. too much politics in the Nba. Trump will intervein ..lol
They should just only put out 2 of their main 4 guys out on the floor at the same time, for the whole game, instead of these isolated, obvious, 4th quarter shenanigans.
Just rotate guys in and out all game.
raps not getting cooper flag😂
free country. everyone sees thing different. the way your saying it is stupid cause they are developing wins. You don't work for Raptors so stop suggesting
winning teams don't start rumors about trading away their culture RJ Barrett.
Its obvious Raptors supports duke, and they are going to pile up duke players do not get rid of them
Not compared to the Jazz!
I love that Shead purposely gave away the ball to the magic with 12 seconds left. Then Orlando was up by 2. Ja'kobe then ruins the tank by hitting a magical 3 in the last second. It was hilarious and amazing. They won with their bench.
We need an tank emoji
