It was just as ive been saying they are not ready still a few years away they need a backup point plus a big who runs and rebounds this series is just giving them experience they are not beating cavs so stop it

I want to see barnes off ball and forcing the pace higher. If yak is injured then sit him. They need healthy players on the court not someone moving half speed.
Game 2 and game 3 to the raps. Barnes get 30 tomorrow.
Lawson and walter are the unsung heros tomorrow. Quick doesn't play till game 5
Max Struss is the reason they lost game!!!
A B and C
Nobody talking about Barnes refusing to pass to BI?? BI was visibly pissed. Barnes ain’t ready for playoff basketball. He’s been the downfall of this team because he can’t run the offence when their pg spot is depleted. He’s a child
I googled my name and seen people with same name as me for social media accounts I don't have that are not me. Guess I'm safe
Yak has been dealing with the back all season!
RAPTORS defensr against the 3 and haloed defense in the paint was terrible
All Glory to God
What did I tell y’all? This was a bad matchup. Poertl is useless
Like I said beginning of year , we need an elite center , and a good PG to be a contender.
Didn’t y’all say you’d rather play nicks and raps would beat cavs in a series ???
The problem is sloppy barnes 🎉🎉🎉
Poeltl was good for us for 2 years, but he's gotta be replaced. We don't have time for his injury. I'm even looking the same way at Quickley. I hate to sound so cold. There's no 2 ways about it. You can't have starters dealing with ongoing injuries going into the playoffs and to seriously expect to survive. As well, we were supposed to have a solution for the three point shooting. We still don't. Whether it's for the starting lineup or off the bench. Each one of the Raptors apart from Scottie, has to be playing at their next gear up. They're not doing that. Upgrades in personnel are going to need to be made for players who are more experienced and more mentally tough. They don't need to be superstars, but they need to be clutch players.
If they lose at game 2, it's over. We don't have Kawhi and the toughness of Lowry.
Stop giving Jakob excuses!! He's simply not at that level anymore!
Darko is an idiot
Ayeeeee
If guys are hurt we shouldn’t play them this is the playoffs I don’t want to hear I was playing with a broken leg, ankle or whatever injury this is the playoffs where intensity comes. James Harden being in the league for 17 years he shouldn’t be better than these young players. It’s nonsense.
Our coach is out of his league.. This is why an inexperienced “vibes” coach was a horrible idea..
Biggest reason was Strus was the biggest reason hitting 3s. That changed the dynamics of the game and for the Raptors they were playing a protective mindset though trailing the game.
They needed to lose this game to fully understand where they are to move forward in any future playoff game. We need a new big.
Poeltl is straight garbadge.
The solution to the 3 is to hit 3 also if you can't defend play battle
If Shead is not going to pick up full court all game he shouldn't be out there. He often doesn't choose a direction to get the ball moving and his shot is so sketch. Just play Walter with R.J., BI, Jakob and run Scottie as the PG.
I hope we can win at least one game, maybe two. Then retool properly for a wire-to-wire championship run in the fall.
scottie was good from three
Thats all fine and dandy but they should have been prepared better, period, dead subject
Im gonna be watching ur game 2 stream just to see you slide down your chair as raptors get beat down lol
No matter what Toronto changes…… they're not beating Cleveland regardless.
Raps got killed inside. Giving up 52 points in the paint is a recipe for disaster. Midway through the 4th Q, when the game was already decided, it was 7-1 offensive rebs. Need to shore up the int defense and rebs. Scottie only 1 reb, Ingram 2 rebs, RJ 2 rebs. Give Mamu more mins as he had 8 rebs and -4 in 20 mins.
Take care of the ball. Scottie and RJ combined for 9 turnovers and both had the worse +/-. Losing battle on the glass + turnovers = losing # of possessions
Teams roster is flawed. Quickly isn't gonna make a difference. Cavs in 5. Off season changes are the real focus. Gotta move Poetl/ I.Q contracts. Investing in Poetl was a bad move. Gradey draft pick was a mistake as well.
