Raptors Locker Room Cleanout

I legit watched the final 20+ games for Temple and Dick.

Sure the losses were ugly to watch but I feel like Temple won every minute he played. Dude didn't light anyone up but he didn't get punked either and it was a fun watch. Someone will probably clown him for getting chase down blocked in the final game but don't forget that immediately preceding he ripped the inbounds pass right out of the opposing player at half-court and chased that **** down.

That's the kind of veteran you want around a bunch of young players. This is a career journeyman on the wrong side of 30, and he's still out there busting his ass.

Sorry I can't believe this. Too many people told me Darko is a bad coach, TF does it matter if his players like him. Ship this fool out, couldn't even win us a chip in his rookie year like Nurse, what a clown.

Oh yeah, the raptors never got that defensive centre, or that stretch centre, or at least two knock down shooters to compliment the core....oh wait they did all that.

Just because your manager is liked by all their staff, doesn't make them a good manager

I have been neutral on RJ until today's comment.

Since he looks up to OG, I'm now a fan of RJ

Barrett seems like a good dude. Recognizing weaknesses is a positive.

Must be cool for RJ riding around Toronto, after the season, as a guy from the city. No boarding a plane going home elsewhere.

Any word if there will be end of season presser by Masai or Bobby?

Those players you refer to would likely be bench warmers on a playoff bound team... this team would still be lottery bound. They need TALENT ...

It wasn't even a train wreck. More like watching a shopping cart roll slowly across a parking lot to lightly bump into a car and not even leave a scratch. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things and is utterly forgettable.

Watched those interviews on YouTube. Barnes and Barrett are going to be the leaders for this team real soon.

Based on what Kelly said about the offensive scheme, Darko probably running something complicated or orthodox. Kelly could just fit in seamlessly but another veteran Bruce Brown can only practice with the Gleaguer to learn the system.

Well, we had pretty much nowhere to go but up.

Yak is not a bench player. And when you are saying you want to surround the 3 players with talent, that means some of that talent would be on the bench.....

Everyone, including you, is too reactionary into what's happening in the present.

So by me constantly preaching patience with Darko....that is somehow too reactionary?
