How much more evaluation does this team really need. You don’t need to be an advanced stats guru or a basketball expert to tell that we are very ass.
Really rough loss, everyone on the Raptors should look hard in the mirror after this one.
This game reminded me that dalano banton is on the team
CoMpEtE!
If I hear ONE MORE TIME about how amazing we are defensively… “2nd best in the league since” blah blah blah. We do NOT play good defense. We do NOT play good offense. We shut down a few lottery teams and are pretending like we’re not shit.
Sit the starters next game. Lose to the Bulls, and call it a season. Holy shit this team is literally painful to watch.
That was fun!
I mean… at least we are not Dallas?!
Craziest stat of this game is that Celtics only missed 7 2-point shots all night, and five of those were in the fourth quarter. Granted a lot of that is awful defensive execution by us, but that’s still seriously impressive offense.
Compete fans looking so fucking stupid right now.
I want to see a starting lineup of Jeff, Dalano, Wieskamp, RHJ, and Koloko on Sunday.
We really traded a 1st round pick to move up 3 spots in the standings. Just awful asset management. The trade deadline Set this franchise back three years at least
I have straight up contempt for the FO man, things did not have to turn out this way. Masai has to make like a laundry list of decisions in the off season he could have addressed by the deadline.
[My honest reaction to this game and players ](https://i.imgur.com/LdCnsp0.jpg)
lets blow it up. dont care that we dont have our pick next season. trade for some young guys and picks and take next year to develop. this roster is going nowhere
And people wanna see this team in the playoffs?
For this team to know the stakes and come out like this is embarrassing.
It’s time for the heads to roll, we don’t need to wait until next week.
SLAM HAUSER 4 MVP
This wasn’t a very Good Friday
Hopefully Toronto will get an NBA team next year.
@Masai Ujiri
Don’t let the score fool you, it wasn’t that close
But…but….. Jakob is a difference maker. This team is better than their record. Pascal is our all-star, all-nba, championship player who averaged over 20 points in the finals. The team is young and developing. Scottie is the next Giannis. At least we’re not Detroit.
Matt Devlin is a bit of a obnoxious homer at times, i think he can be good at his job if not great but is knee deep in his own fandom. As someone that hates homerism and hearing Alvin and Matt, I understand they’re here for more casual raptor fans thats fine ya know. But today? Fucking over drive.
The raptors will beat Chicago and lose to Atlanta because thats what they deserve.
I just think the team has checked out competitively. Shame to see it, definitely need a coaching change. Love what Nurse brought to the team early on, but it’s been stale 2 years and the guys aren’t producing. Just disappointed in this squad 😔
Good effort by the Raptors keeping it to within single digits for most of the game.
Boston getting the lead up to 19 near the end of the 4th was just terrible luck.
Go Raps Go!!!
Hope Nurse enjoys Houston.
The Toronto Raptors are a Canadian professional basketball team based in Toronto. The Raptors compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a member of the league’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division. They play their home games at Scotiabank Arena, which they share with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team was founded in 1995 as part of the NBA’s expansion into Canada, along with the Vancouver Grizzlies. Since the 2001–02 season, the Raptors have been the only Canadian-based team in the league, as the Grizzlies relocated from Vancouver to Memphis, Tennessee.
As with most expansion teams, the Raptors struggled in their early years, but after the acquisition of Vince Carter through a draft-day trade in 1998, the franchise set league-attendance records and made the NBA playoffs in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Carter was instrumental in leading the team to their first playoff series win in 2001, where they advanced to the Eastern Conference semifinals. During the 2002–03 and 2003–04 seasons, they failed to make significant progress, and Carter was traded in 2004 to the New Jersey Nets.
After Carter left, Chris Bosh emerged as the team leader. For the 2006–07 season, Bryan Colangelo was appointed as general manager, and through a combination of Bosh, 2006 first overall draft pick Andrea Bargnani, and a revamp of the roster, the Raptors qualified for their first playoff berth in five years, capturing the Atlantic Division title. In the 2007–08 season, they also advanced to the playoffs but failed to reach the postseason in each of the next five seasons. Colangelo overhauled the team’s roster for the 2009–10 season in a bid to persuade pending free agent Bosh to stay, but Bosh departed to sign with the Miami Heat in July 2010, ushering in yet another era of rebuilding for the Raptors.
Masai Ujiri replaced Colangelo in 2013 and helped herald a new era of success, led by a backcourt duo of DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry. The Raptors returned to the playoffs the following year and became a consistent playoff team in every year of Ujiri’s tenure. Under Ujiri, the team also won five Division titles and registered their most successful regular season in 2018. However, the team’s failure to reach the NBA Finals prompted Ujiri to fire head coach Dwane Casey after the 2018 playoffs concluded and to trade DeRozan for Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green later that summer, as well as to acquire Marc Gasol before the trade deadline. Toronto also saw the breakout of Pascal Siakam, the 27th overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft, who won the NBA Most Improved Player that year. In the 2019 playoffs, the Raptors won their first Eastern Conference title and advanced to their first NBA Finals, where they won their first NBA championship.
This is not a post-season team.
we lost to them without most of their starters even playing. you know how disrespectful that is? it just shows you how good boston is and they dont have to rely on 6’9 guys on defense.
i just hope major changes come this summer because there is no way this can keep continuing with this core otherwise we’ll stay in purgatory. we need to let scottie grow his wings. you can choose whoever you think is holding us back, but its clear since february we shouldve tanked. that back to back loss against the magic in december is where this all started
our offense is trash, straight doo doo. the best playoff teams are teams that have a pecking order on Offense. that is how we won in 2019, we had kawhi. our current team plays offense by committee or whoever wants to shoot. pascal iso’s, fvv getting his, og. masai even mentioned the team being selfish in his deadline presser. best case wouldve been to pair scottie with a top5-8 pick and start a new era with whoever we keep and let go
Embarrassing for the team, and even more embarrassing for the FO for rewarding this core…
Real tough watch
Well, that was fun.
I don’t understand. It was clear we were going to lose this game from the start. Why did Nurse wait so long to put some of the end of bench guys in?
I would rather watch young players develop and be looking forward to a top 10 pick. This product is shit.
This team has been so overrated by this fan base. Some of you actually thought they were goign to win 50+ games this year.
We’ll play a good game once or twice a month and the same posters will emerge from the shadows to talk shit.
Like we’ve had worse seasons in terms of record etc. But this is one of the funniest seasons ever. The sheer amount of failure this year is going to be hard to beat. Losing in the play in at home to Chicago will be the nice cherry on this steaming shit sundae.
Payton Pritchard is the goat
Making the playoffs last year was the worst thing that could have happened
How about them Blue Jays tho
“We still believe in this core” 😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
That was pitiful
We can’t tell fred and pascal we’re tanking! Instead we’ll set the team back 3 years
Literally 81 games in and theres people in here who think this team can find another gear when games get “serious”. Lmfao
Y’know, what Nurse said was weird but I don’t blame him considering how trash the roster has been for the last 3 years.
95% of you need to grow up and stop living in your own miserableness
solve your own problems and stop watching lol
it’s not like walking out of a job, there are no career or financial repercussions that come with turning off the TV
you will be happier
armchair GMs currently doing revisionist history to come to the same strawman arguments they can cry about
_________
Be more well adjusted. Don’t report me to reddit for mental crises/suicidal ideation like has happened a few times recently. Move on!
No garbage minutes for Thad?
Worst loss of the season for me. Forget the play-IN implications, but back to back duds against division rivals.
Coaching was atrocious, the whole staff should be fined.
Players: just going through the motions and apart from a brief moment in the third (before Siakams bs midsection tech) was looking like the comeback was in full swing.
Go from here: there’s a serious communication issue on FO-coaching-player level. Nothing short of leadership will solve this issue. This is on Masai and more so Bobby as the GM. Let’s hope these millionaires get put professional pride before previous issues.
I thought this team would look better after signing Rico after what he did to Siakam. A season later and wtf. No one improved
The Hawks just lost to the Sixers bench squad…SMH.
Do you guys actually care about the team or trying to make yourself feel better by shitting on fans of the same team
