I'm pretty sure they were just complaining about someone digging up old posts on them then they do the same thing now (search old posts) too. Most toxic poster ever.
If you're going to troll at least be funny or interesting. He's neither.

Sad everyone here simply enjoys ad hominems and not discussing basketball.

Not surprising considering the people who said this thread were stupid are pretending like they didn’t make a horrible prediction and are saying COVID is the excuse and not our mediocre team.

I mean, again, personal shots about good or whatever you think you’re doing, but the same people who have been proven wrong time and time and time again with facts just use the “you suck” as a narrative discussion point.

Anyways - are you enjoying the Raptors playoff run? Or the Raptors easily being a home court team? Or the multiple all-stars?

As long as people can convince themselves this is a good product, that is their prerogative but when we are again fighting for a playoff spot next year, it will be fun to see those pontification their hubris to simply have their hubris.

If 90% of people have a bad opinion and they all agree with it, it will make one feel as though they’re correct, but no amount of And1s can retroactively change the fact this team is not good and has no avenue to be good this season other than winning the draft.

But let’s see when we are all changing our easy playoff team, to play in team, to “stealth tanking” all over again next year.

This dude was outraged about posters pulling up old posts and then he does it himself.

Just sad at this point.

Lol I woke up today, saw that box score and immediately thought about this thread. Buncha sheep with rose goggles on, too bias to accurately assess our talent.

You might have a point if these guys didnt pick BRK to beat the Raps in last years playoffs.

Nah man you have tank coloured glasses on. You're speaking as if we weren't the team most ravaged by covid, injuries, sitting players out, and in Tampa. This team beats the hawks when healthy - sorry if bumping this thread didn't have the impacted you desired.

Firstly, I didn’t bump it, someone else did. Also, every team had covid we were worse than Atlanta since the first game. Not trying to hear the revisionist history. We gotta realize we are nothing without a star. I’ve been arguing with people since game 1 of the season that the season would be a waste and we should try and tank. You wouldn’t believe the things ppl called me and said to me, and now look. I was told I’m not a true fan ffs lmao. It’s sad people are so emotionally tied to the teams success they can’t be real with themselves. Sad.

The year prior to Tampa, without a 'star', the Raps won 50+ games and were within 1 minute of a conference finals appearance.

People realize it's not always black or white right? They aren't a terrible team when everyone is healthy but they also arent a contender. They're somewhere in the middle.

You can debate what steps should be taken to improve and there really are no wrong answers. It takes extreme luck, along with very competent management to win a title. And even with all those things, you still might not win. Gotta enjoy the process or pick another team.
