Scottie and yak are good defenders. Hopefully quick and RJ can make the next step as well

I don’t think expectation would be contenders yet. Hopefully at least 6th next season

Teams gonna need a lot more than 2 guys to become respectable defensively. Injuries are part of basketball and something every team deals with, we just can't be this pathetic when it happens. This offseason cant come soon enough.

Not only that, this team has 0 entertainment value. Last year was so ugly to watch and this year is going to be even worse. Those douches have been here for 9 years and we haven't gotten a single playoff win in the expanded playoff era.

We only moved up 1 spot in the draft lottery during that 15 game losing streak. That’s how trash the teams are ahead of us.

4 wins between us and Portland. I can count 4 losable losses that we had to win. We could easily be 5th if it weren't for pizza parties and stuff like that.

If Miami is able to get away with always having one or more of Herro, Robinson and Rozier on the floor at the same time...we should be ok with Scottie, Jakob and one more net-neutral or net-positive defender...

Damn, didn’t know Indiana had the tiebreaker vs the Sixers. Both teams probably winning their final games, it’ll likely end in a tie. Hawks have no reason to play their main guys that final game.

Are you really going to compare the personnel of THIS Raptors team to the Heat? They've been to the conference finals/finals in 3 of the past 4 years for a reason.

Then we need to talk about how they have who many consider the best coach in the business while we could have one of the worst lol.

There's like 5 players on the entire roster that are worth thinking about.

Scottie
Jak
RJ
Quickley
Dick

Everyone else is a certified bum. And of the 5 mentioned, one is a rookie and the other is a center with very serious limitations. We can't miss on any of the picks this draft or it's gonna be ugly for a long time

I like Olynyk as a player but I wish he'd try to make the simple pass at times. He's always trying to make a flashy pass. Still love his offensive game though.

It is bad enough sucking without a tilted floor as well.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

And that was when Beal was averaging 30PPG and before he got the supermax. Need a little more context on the delusional ppl from that thread loll.
