I don't see y'all as tougher to beat ever since Birch got there. Y'all still have a lot more work to do especially on the defensive side of the basketball. In order for this team to be relevant again especially next season, y'all are gonna need more depth. Case in point Birch is a free agent this summer. But then so is Lowry. I mean you should get rid of Hood, Baynes and then GTJ is a free agent too.

But even so which people you bring in to make y'all a playoff team again?

Then as far as the draft, comes down to luck of the draw as far as ping pong balls go and then deciding on who y'all are gonna draft.

The Canadian government won't let y'all play at Scotiabank Arena for some reason but yet they let the Maple Leafs play there. But if the Canadian government still can't even let y'all play at home, then y'all have to find another home yet again or you stay in Tampa for yet another year.

I am not sure if you have been watching the games, but raptors have been playing hard and have been losing close games to playoff bound teams. Once they added help to the front court, team has looked decent. Honestly if they didn’t sit the key players, they would have been in the play in tournament by now. With a high draft pick and some decent off season pick ups, this team will be a playoff team again. The core is decent and this is just a retool season.

I see you that need to be enlightened. Allow me.

1. The leafs only play against other Canadian teams, that's why they can be at home. that was an easy one you coulda just googled it bruh. Its a cool little tool to use.
2. the core of this team has already won a ship, so what they're doing in the offseason is retooling around them + adding talent through the draft.
3. If you dont think the team looks much improved with Birch you simply haven't been watching my friend.

Freddy not playing tonight really hursts me. Im about to go to the finals in fantasy, but with Freddy sitting I likely lose this week and get eliminated. Am I being to selfish for wishing that he played, its $800 bucks on the line :laugh:

Not sure if we have discussed this before, but how do you think bargnani would do in the modern nba?

prob pretty decent. porzingis is very similar to bargs. I think he would have developed better in the modern NBA too and in a better organization.

Nice to see JV do well. I thought he was gonna be a better Gasol when we got him. That didnt happen but hope he continues to do well.

I believe raptors are eliminated or almost eliminated from playoffs with that loss.

I share the same opinion. In the modern nba he would have been developed toward his strengths, instead of highlighting his weaknesses.

I’ll never forget the season they wouldnt let him shoot 3’s. Like wtf?
