Glad to see the channel is growing!!
Raptors aren't the best at anything.
This is getting stupid and one of the big reasons the NBA isn't as good as it used to be (and fans are losing interest). nearly 25% of NBA teams are competing to LOSE GAMES. It's so blatant it's become a key part of NBA analysis. Look at the stands for these games, folks aren't watching in person or online/ on TV as these games are total BS. The Raptors are going to be a team worth watching next season, and I hope the NBA figures out how to get all teams seriously WANTING TO WIN.
That small man Darko has an ego and can’t see beyond it. WTF is SB and Quickley playing tons of mins
The Raptors are losers! Lose when they should and win when they shouldn’t. SB and quickley have nothing to be proud of. They played against mostly rookies and g leaguers who were inserted to tank.
You don't see the big picture.
We're going to let the young guys lead us into the play-in.
During practice we practice hard, and Brandon gets his reps.
The regulars win the 2 play-in games.
Then in first round vs Cleveland, we debut the Carolina Reaper (Ingram).
The Cavs have absolutely no info on us. Maybe they use NBA 2k to simulate something.They don't know how to prepare.
We are the first round trap
The tank was a mirage, especially with this schuelde
The Tank is a Trojan Horse or a mirage.
Also spliting the rest time, gives more opportunities for Scottie/IQ, and Jakob/RJ to work separately.
10:43 – just because they say it, doesn't mean it's true.
11:20 – Ja'Kobe is Jesus Shuttlesworth (jr)
You got the holy trinity of NBA SGs
Jordan, Kobe, Walter (Ray Allen)
Add Ja'kobe as the "Holy Quad" (just so happen to be his current injury)
Alex is on to something. There are football leagues in Europe that do almost the same thing with regards to relegation, for example. In Wales, the first phase of the season ends in February and then the bottom four teams are carved out and then they each play home and away against each other (so six games in total during this phase). Then, the teams with the two worst records get relegated.
The Raptors closed the game with their young players one time all season, stop acting like it’s been going on all season. They say it’s player development, Scottie and IQ needs developing too. The season is almost over stop crying about wins and loss just enjoy the games man, this sh*t is so annoying. If we win you cry, if we lose you cry. I really don’t know what you want from this team smfh…
The Raptors will have a tough time losing many of there upcoming games. The other teams are just straight up bad.
We should never be upset about a win.
lol Media harasses the team for not putting the guys back in, and now you complain when they do.
Make the bottom 4 teams ineligible for sharing the tax and if they are a tax paying team they have to pay double. So if they tank not only do they lose roughly 20M from tax sharing but they also lose $ from the lower fan turnouts.
