Raptor lost
Tanking is so stupid. We aren't catching the bottom teams. We're literally competing for the 7th pick.. Just play BI and get him reps with the starters while going for the play-in.
LMFAO 😂 I saw Jak hit the 3 and i immediately said to myself “Bens gonna make a video hyping this up”. 😂😂😂never change Ben!
Next up, Jak with the crossover ankle breaking fadeway 3 point buzzer beater to win the game
Thank God we lost
Trade Sloppy Barnes it's clear he isn't it, he can't even lead a team past a G League team… Pathetic
5 turn overs for sloppy Barnes against ymca players… Let the excuses roll in
Jacob should only take 3s for the rest of the season lol
It's not game changing, stop!
Welcome back Ochai
Big Jak all the way for the dunk was fire 🔥🦖
I vaguely remember Jak taking/making a 3 in his rookie year.
We didn’t fowl for 15 seconds,it was kinda funny,and Matt was yelling gotta fowl gotta fowl 😂 Let’s go Raptors 🔥
Don’t trade RJ!🔥🦖🇨🇦
Just like Marc Gasol learned to shoot the 3 later in his career.
Not sure why we were even close to winning the game vs Portland. I’m so annoyed at that the end of this season. A 3 game winning streak is unacceptable
Yak is now worth 5 first round draft picks
Ochai and a second round pick for a future first. Then sign Robinson and Lawson.
Brook lopez became a 3 point shooter because at half time on laker he use to have an all star competition 3 point contest with a fan. It literally gave him 30 practice shots every game at half time while the crowds are watching and cheering him on. That's where he got his shooting confidence.
I need yak to just take every 3 he gets and work on it. Fuk it why not we’re trying to lose anyways this is the perfect time for him to try to develop that there’s no risk and MASSIVE reward if he actually becomes a stretch big would be crazy for the whole team next year
40% that is elite play. How about 33% 1/4 , 2/4, 1/4 every three games would be enough to make defender think about it.
I really think 76ers will drive for 5 since that gives them some good odds at top 4 but also lets them slip one in lottery and still keep pick.
Nets could be caught. NO more slippage to anyone else only 15 more for the tank.
Ben, Ben, Ben … It was nice to see Jak hit the shot but there was a bouncy luck to it. He'll not be doing it with anything more like a late carrier Lopez.
He was 0 for 2 from the free throw line. Relax bro 😂
After watching last night's game I am making the following announcement.
I will not be watching any more games for the rest of the season the game so disgusted me.
The team which still has a decent chance to make the Play-in and with their roster can move onto the playoffs but they benched most of their good players in the second half and did not dress the others.
For most of the 4th quarter it was the who is that on the floor and they collapsed.
One example was watching Battle who could not stick with any of his Defence assignments and kept on getting beat. Others could not make any open shots barely making contact with the rim.
I do not think I am the only person to feel so disgusted so I hope others read this message and share their own feelings.
An team who intentionally plays to lose is not a team I ever want to cheer for.
