Raptors have put out their deep bench unit to tank. I will not gain any respect if they win this. Paolo and Franz came to play. No one else did.

Those are literally the players that beat us last game.

But the problems run far beyond a lack of shooting.


Minnesota was/is kind of going through similar things with a vastly better roster. Early on when they were way under .500, Edwards said in defense of Finch, who was getting similarly reamed by fanbase/media, that the players are doing a bunch of bull and not listening to the staff's plans and it's not like the coaches are playing the game on the court.

That's how I mostly feel about coaching. Especially for a coach who has had a young team overachieve for an extended period.

Do you see Scottie Barnes out there guarding anyone? No because he’s a good defender and Toronto wants to lose this.

Paolo has had a very good game. 4 steals and super efficient on offense.
