Raps got embarrassed last night – and Sabonis, wouldn't have played any better defense … he would have scored 20+ to help us keep it tight. I'm at the point where I realize if this team is to get better and take the next step, RJ and or IQ or both must go, same with D!ck and Walter
When Kyle Lowry was 24, he couldn't do what you said at all. Why would expect our 24 yr old to be that level already? It would be nice I guess, still ridiculous to expect
Shead has been AWFUL lately
How did u not understand this from the get go… jakob at best is a BACK center on a good team… raptors have to decide what they want to be and unfortunately they(b webster) decided this season to be a bottom end playoff team most likely out in the 1st rd. Hopefully they decided in the offseason they want to be more(trade for a starting center/better shooters)
We can’t beat any good teams 🤣 1-13 vs top teams
Honestly, I believe this is our ceiling. I don’t see our team getting any better and I think trades definitely need to happen in the off-season whether it’s RJ, Gradey, JaKobe, or Jacob
So far looking like Yakapodles season is a wash. Horrible 1st game back. Smacks of shades of Otto Porter junior nagging injury.
Re-eval over all star break but I have a feeling they shut him down till playoffs. I'm okay with that . I'd rather a strong and sturdy Jak for a 1st rnd exit to at least give us a shot rather then to have him relapse and get shut down right before playoffs.
TJD might not be it but I think we are next man mentality rn if Jak's still not right.
Patience guys. Remember its year one of Progress. We getting mad at them basically because they are doing better than most expected and now some people want more already. Patience. We just need to decide who is a keeper and who is not in this championship team building process 😊
Four Raptor players embarrassed themselves last night. Peotl( Can never spell this name) Shead, Dick and Ja-kobe. They looked like they shouldn't be in the NBA. The quicker they are moved the better. Play some of the G Leaguers.
How the hell did Grady get so much playing time ? Put in Martin.
Why do so many people give Poetl a break by saying he needs to get his conditioning back. That was the whole purpose of his recovery and training. I would expect his conditioning to be there when he is cleared to play. What I do worry about is his confidence. He was extremely tentative last night.
You get lit up by the likes of Paul Reed you have no chance.
Man. I hate this channel more and note every time a video drops… the guy hasnt played in 25 games and your shitting in his first-game back….. smfh. This channel is straight cooked.. thisnis officially dubbed… the casual channel.
Is it a good time to bring back Adrian Griffin as head coach for next season?!
I'd leave poeetrl on the bench. Only because I think he will be hurt again .
Jak isn’t very good. I don’t know why he is praised as a top centre. Grady looked like an amateur last night. Got the ball ripped out of his hands multiple times.
We should’ve traded shead for Jose
No.lie we need a point guard that could get us set an a defensive big man
Hahah everyone needs to chill, were saving it for the playoffs 😜
He's not the same Poeltl from last year. His back problem isn't fixed and hasn't gone anywhere. It's still going to be there next year. Back problems don't just go away. I like him, but his situation's a huge problem now.
He's a good back up.
Not unusual to overpay by the front office.
Not a hater. FACT
Get him Healthy and Producing, TRADE.
I was at the game. Sat pretty close. Jak was deplorably bad. So was RJ. They also left Cunningham wide open form the same spot for 3, 4x in a row. If Grady dick can’t be as good as Duncan Robinson, he needs to not got min. Awful game
Need a front office that knows how identify and generate a trade that we are the benefactor for a change, not the Bitch.
They might need to waive Jak and move on tbh
Trade RJ and IQ for Kahwi in the summer.
"Are we getting impact off the bench?" OBVIOUSLY NOT
Cam Thomas would have been a game-changer for this team. But instead it will be "addressing issues in the off-season" (that never seem to actually get addressed).
Bobby should really consider declining Gradeys 7 million dollar team option you could just give that 7 million to mamu
