Long term, 1-9 record would be most beneficial. We need a fresh outlook.

I actually think the Raps are going to get slapped around a bit for the first 10 games. This board is going to be absolute chaos if it happens too, the trade Scottie threads will be rampant, but the schedule is pretty tough early on

@ Atlanta - W
V Milwaukee - L
@ Dallas - L
@ San Antonio (B2B) - L
V Houston - L
@ Cleveland - L
V Memphis - W
V Milwaukee - W
@ Atlanta - L
@ Philadelphia (B2B) - W

The Raptors need to find a way to split (at least) the games against Atlanta and Milwaukee, and win against teams like Memphis and Philly. Anything else is kind of icing on the cake for the first 10 here. If the Raps can come out of the first 10 games with a 4-6 record, that's a pretty good outcome.


Pitching a perfect game so far!


Let's hope I'm wrong about one of the next 2!

At least we should have CMB who was missing from the first. And with how had Poeltl played in the first game it wont be as big of a koss

5-5 is looking legitimately possible as I would think we take ATL on Friday with 2 days of rest, but Saturday is looking less likely as PHI will have 2 dyas of rest and we will be on a back-2-back.

UNLESS, Philly decides to load mange Embiid vs us and use him Sunday vs DET (which IDK what they will do)

Seems likely we'll go 5-5 w/ a win against the Hawks and loss against the 76ers

Hope we can win both though. 6-4 after these first 10 games would be great.

Did not anticipate:
- the Cavs would play without Mitchell, Garland, and Allen
- the Grizzlies would suspend Ja Morant

And I forgot the Bucks were on the road on the second night of a back to back

Return to Toronto Raptors
