  1. This team needs a Jalen Brunson or Donavan Mitchell and a Toumani Camara or two.

    these good teams make threes and hit the paint like its breathing air and you simply cant compete getting like 20 points combined from the backup shooting guard and point guard position (and shead and jakobe dont even be combining for 20 most nights)

  2. Yes. Been thinking this for past week or so. 1st round exit is inevitable at this point. They are just not good enough.

  3. Wow! Finally I find a channel that keeps it real and tells the truth about this team and some of its players. Great analysis guys thanks!

  4. Unless their first round team gets an injury in the last week of season. Say Harden or KAT goes down and we are healthy then maybe.

  5. I agree there isn’t enough talent, consistent two way players and shooting. Too many of our players are not offensive threats. But we are taking good steps. I guess we need to continue to build by the draft, either make a big trade next year, etc. Our margin for error is slim, which I think is why we can’t beat the top teams. I think we should play Alijah Martin – bring him up and give him a shot.

  6. What the Raptors really need is a very tough coaching team. Right now, the players are really too soft. These days, it’s actually more interesting to watch the Hornets and the Pistons.

  7. It’s really hard to understand why the coaching team is trying to develop Scottie into a DPOY-type player. What we need is his all-around impact, not another smaller version of Poeltl.

  8. 1st round yes. Very slight chance at 2nd, but that is fine. Next year is where we should be looking at improvement. I think (as much as I hate it) RJ and Jakob have to be moved.

  9. I’m glad podcasters don’t play the game because they’d quit before the season started – this is the first year with this lineup and they’ve been injured and podcasters expect them to beat the top tier teams now or they suck. Give them another year boys – stop expecting them to be champions today

  10. I'm personally waiting until the playoffs to determine if Scottie isn't a #1. If he's a playoff riser I couldn't be happier with him and BI as my top 2
