  1. It's depressing. Not just the players. There's something very wrong with the management and coaching staff. there is no focus, no direction. At lease 3 players (high salary, main guys), have to go, and get 2 really top players with experience. Not from G-League or 905. Well, if not, in my opinion, they will get nowhere.

  2. Nick nurse gotta stop trolling man… dude started koloko and Juancho like what spacing does that provide for pascal/Scottie especially with Karen Jackson and Steven adams protecting the paint?? GTJ immediately subs in and drains a bunch of 3s like what is that bro… this roster is also very poorly constructed and isn’t built to have any injuries.

  3. What do people think trading Gary is going to accomplish? Raps need a lot more help or blow it up

  4. Can't defend and we struggle to score. Ladies and Gentlemen: We have officially reached "bottom-feeder" status and entered the Wembanya sweepstakes. Whether we were trying to or not we've been tanking for the last month folks. It would have been nice to protect our starters from possible injury and to at least seem like losing so much was deliberate but here we are. I enjoyed the game nonetheless. Ja is must watch TV. I enjoy watching him play now even more than Steph. It was nice to see Dowtin getting some playing time. His stats won't blow you away, but he passes the eye test as an excellent playmaker. If he could shoot a reasonable % from 3, he would be an integral rotation player. Did anyone else find it odd that NN had a group of guys that were actually playing well together–enough to get us within single digits–, and then brought back in a bunch of players that pissed away all the progress that we had made to make the game interesting? (The same players that had been ineffective all game and allowed us to get down by 22+pts.) Go Raps?

  5. We haven't had a decent rim protector with any size for years and have lost the ability to consistently move the ball because we don't have a truly talented pg/leader who can run an offense. How is this obvious to everyone but Raptors management?

  6. Why is NN starting Juancho when he scores nothing. Not today, nor in last game either. Do these players not practice their shooting like Pascal, OG, Gary, and Fred practice. I recall hearing how Kyle went to gym every morning to shoot, before any other player arrived. We are consistently empty with offence for certain players. Scottie doesn't get aggressive until well into the game…AGAIN! And yes, we need a BIG. It was glaringly obvious tonight, although Precious will help with that, even though he not a true big. It is just so frustrating to watch this night after night. Pascal must be so discouraged.

  7. Nurse, get his starters to get injured again for trying so hard to win. This team needs help like center Myles Turner trade for him. Adam's just killed the middle, and JA Morant did not even break a sweat of this game. Why not let Flynn start as your PG, Barnes, no business taking point, he needs to play inside game period. At this if the Raptors will get trade then they might use the bench and tank for this season. Nick Nurse have no play at all. Just play ISO game. Let Siakam do his thing. Darn, any coach figure this out.

  8. Am I crazy or does Scottie play with more enthusiasm, energy, and focus when BOTH Pascal and Fred are not on the floor??

  9. You were all blowing it up,including you BEN on thev6'10" across the board.Aint& never worked,wonder why.Barnes has big head syndrome! You all want Scottie,the turnover extraordinary guard handling the ball! FLYN should have been gone at the end of last season.GTJ doesn't compare to Norm GTFO!! YOU all wonder why so many injuries,where's the bench? MIA! Barnes will never be NBA ready at best bench piece! Guy missed7 in a row,and you give him a reward. Trade FVV he cant do 40 miss anymore,the raptors ground him down.BEN you're giving Chris praise for 1three!! Lol!! Keep stretching,getting as bad as the team you rag on.Raptors no longer play D,what they been known for forever!

  10. We’re not good enough to be a good team but not bad enough to be a bottom feeder…thats what you call basketball purgatory…better decide soon which team we should be…but i think we need to retool and worst come to worst rebuild…

  11. Yikes. The only good thing about this season up to this point is what Spicy P's doing for my fantasy team with honorable mention to OG for providing so many steals.
    So, Ben who's this year's tank commander? 🤷

  12. Fred sucks and Siakam is a 2 3 option mfs! Not to mention or centre need. We have no trust in help defence

  13. Pascal Siakam is my favorite Raptor all time

    Selling high to boost a tank wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world

  14. Dowtin is riding the pine due to politics, it’s Flynn’s time. He’ll get consistent minutes next year. You guys are just diving the fan base. Fans gonna be asking for 15 players per game at this point. I’ve wanted Dowtin out there all season as well.

  15. Agree, Jeff Dowtin somehow change the flow of the game. He’s really good, NN replaced him and back again the dragging pace..
