The 2019 Raptors had experienced floor generals like Kyle and Marc that facilitated play making and ball movement for a more unpredictable and dangerous offense. The 2022 Raptors today do not truly have an experience floor general and have a very predictable ISO offense. FVV is still a catch and shoot 3 Ball SG specialist who needs solid play makers to be successful. Expecting him to be Kyle Lowry's replacement, as a play maker himself, has been the biggest mistake that the Raptors have done in years. The team either needs to focus on developing it's young PGs, including Scottie, or acquire an experienced PG that facilitates ball movement and decision making like Kyle did. This includes Coach Nurse focusing more on being a development coach right now and far less of a play-off coach. He's coaching roster minutes and limited bench use like it is the playoffs. That stunts development and will only cause more wear and tear injuries.
we need shooters now. I don't wanna watch you guys hustle for 50/50 balls and bully people in the paint for a win. Have not been enjoying raptors basketball this season at all. Props to Pascal for improving though.
As a magic fan, this team needs to start making trades and surround Pascal with winners or blow it all up. He’s a top 15 player in this league. Having OG and Gary are great, but you can’t afford Scottie and Fred consistently playing badly. Also, this team has no depth. The meme about Masai seeing somebody who’s 6’7” and salivating are real.

Lost 2 straight to the Majic. That's crazy.
