The Raptors just keep losing these close games.

GTJ had a shaky offensive debut but I thought his defense was pretty damn good.
Yeah he looked solid, especially considering he had no practice.Quote:

Powell is having a very nice debut with the Blazers.

Still puzzled how we managed to lose both. And with Ibaka signing for a fam bargain with the clippersQuote:

we could have easily done with out Gasol. Any one who has watched him knows hes cooked.Quote:

Y'alls problem is Baynes if you want me to be brutally honest with you. Yeah he's supposed to be depth at your center position but really signing him in the first place was a mistake. Shouldn't have even signed him to begin with. Like how y'all got rid of Len and bought him out, you should have done the same thing to Baynes and bought him out but for some reason you hold on to him.
Simple you buy out Baynes and create even more roster space on your team. Do that and go into the buyout market again and get a better center.
I mean buyout market there are still centers out there like Drummond, Whiteside, Boogie Cousins that the Raptors can grab.
And then you can fill out whatever other roster spots are available with whoever you want.
But either way it still won't fix the main problem of y'alls team. The main problem of what it really boils down to is the fact that the Raptors have no closer. If the Raptors had a closer or could close out games, then the Raptors would have a better win loss record no?
Before y'all think I'm baiting or trolling, I'm actually not. I'm giving you honest assessments here. Point blank period. I'm not knocking y'all in any way.
It comes down to defensive identity and the Raptors lost that when they lost Ibaka and Gasol after the Bubble season ended. It also comes down to basketball IQ as well and this season yeah it shows in flashes but then at times it does not.
Yes y'all are still trying to find your defensive identity once again. But another problem too is certain rotations within your lineup.
Am I right or am I wrong? I'm just giving an astute honest assessment, not even an opinion either more like an actual observation from a distance. See I'm giving it to you straight and just areas of need that your team needs to address if you want to get back to winning basketball.
Now all things being said, today y'all have to face Powell and the Blazers tonight. Just that quickly too after the trade went down just like 4 days ago. Trent too also has to face his former team.
It is going to be weird but emotional all at the same time.
So I'll reply. I don't interpret this as baiting or trolling. The only thing... We know.Quote:

None of that is visionary.
It's also why we don't buyout Baynes. Let the losses come. Or why we don't be big players in buyout market.
Boucher has been excellent, but he lacks the strength and rebounding to start at C. It's a step back year. Develop the kids, have an active off-season in draft and free agency and regroup.
You actually don't need to be honest with us. We are pretty honest with ourselves....
So does Trent get to guard Powell tonight?👀👀👀
No Lowry tonight.

i dont care what anyone says. Raptors are stealth tanking. No way they seriously think Baynes should get this many minutes.

He can just put OG or Johnson at the 5 like he always does.Quote:

OG's offence quietly coming along. If he even takes a small step attacking off the dribble or shooting off the dribble, it would be huge for us.
They not even looking for him. He was open on the perimeter on a few possessions and they’re lot even looking at his direction. Maybe Nurse gotta draw some stuff up for him to get some looksQuote:

GTJ's offence kinda bad rn. He looks like a lost puppy out there. He needs Lowry out there to hold his hand. FVV isn't going to babysit him. Hopefully, he learns quickly and picks it up.
They did draw up a play for him and he knocked it down from three but yeah he looks understandably out of rhythm.Quote:
