The production value of home broadcasts is kind of mediocre. Not just the Raps either.

Somebody better get fired for that one

Darko'a gonna give the team Participation medals. Got Ted Lasso running this damn team

You don’t think they should fire the person at Sportsnet responsible for not showing a replay there?

I saw two of them on cable, just not great replays. Not sure what you saw.

But what I took you post to mean was way funnier.

[Tripod]

How did the Raptors lose to 3rd stingers, that’s on Darko with his slow starts

Did you see how **** our bench shot? That's not on him

Its not on him to not use Battle?

I have been a Battle advocate from the beginning.

But mamu, Shead and Walter can't go 2-19 any game and expect to win.

Any time a game ends like that, it always makes me think of the 2016 Sacramento screw job. Are they ever going to add 0.1 seconds in our favour?

the ball was in his hands when the clock ran out. No screw job.

Game should not have been this close when playing a depleted team. It shouldn't have been close, and you can't be trying to come back from o double digit deficit.

I didn’t say it was a screw job. I meant I always think of the T-Ross buzzer beater in Sacramento that got called back because the clock started late when a game ends with a shot on the finger tips. Maybe one day we’ll win a game/get to OT on a similar type of play, but not tonight lol.

Just seems this team goes one step forward then two steps back with these let down games.

[Tha Cynic]

Whenever this team loses it’s due to the bench not producing. Not a hard fix, but they need at least one more consistent bench player and it will drastically change these outcomes

I don’t call a regular time replay with a view from the stands an actual replay.

I suppose there may have been a double meaning to that post though; Darko’s rotations were bizarre (as was sticking with Quickley in crunch time who shot terribly all game long while playing no defense).

Proves that no game is an automatic win with this team, this team is not good enough

100%. You can't have a team missing 4/5 starters and be going back and forth with another team's bench. Denver's starters didn't even play well, but they played well enough to win. Raptors needs to upgrade their floor badly.

LOL I remember when Mo Pete hitting a prayer to get it to OT against Washington

I can't be the only one that's not worried about this team

[nestea]

Last game Shead mentioning his teammates are struggling with their shot. Did he forget himself?

[Landomar]

The Sportsnet clock started 0.3 seconds after the in game clock, which is why I thought Ingram's shot definitely counted (I was looking at the Sportsnet clock and the ball is clearly in the air with 0.2 seconds showing). The Sportsnet clock didn't start until the ball was out of Barnes's hands, though, so they were clearly slow and the in game clock was more accurate. On the In game clock the ball is still touching Ingram's fingertips when the clock hits 0. If the in game clock person pushed the button 0.1 seconds later than they did, the shot would have counted, so it's too bad that they were 0.3 seconds ahead of Sportsnet instead of 0.2.

Absolutely, they need to get rid of some deadweight like Walter and Dick and get a legitimate 6th man who is a proven scorer.

It's a .500 team in an injury riddled conference. The real problem is next season. Healthy teams and rebuilding teams with new top talent and plenty of flexibility to improve quickly. Raps? This team is locked into current path with little upside.

His scoring is G League caliber. Overrated defender too.

This season will end up a replay of 2021/2022. In fact, we are heading back to that timeline today in our rebuild cycle
