You can't make this up, omfg.


Why are you on Reddit for basketball discussion? It’s absolutely awful. I’m embarrassed by the Raptors subreddit whenever I land there.


I don’t understand how people read Reddit. The comments aren’t even in chronological order. I get Reddit if you want to find something specific, or focus on the most commented or liked posts only, but if you’re on a forum and want to to read every comment, that’s not it


I don't get it either, and I REALLY don't get going on another team's Reddit. Like, you can just not do that lol

But let's try and sweep.

Teams are going to dislike playing us in the playoffs if we can get healthy.

agreed. pg13 may play tomorrow as they are sitting him out in back to back right now

You need a mix of players and sometimes you just need that cocky sob on your team as well.


You guys love saying this **** for our players but if we were facing him you would be bitching about how dumb he is.


Boog! Those guys make the league fun and interesting. There isn't enough of them any more.

.....and yes you want them on your team. I would take prime Metta, D Brooks, Dennis Rodman, Oak all day every day on my team.

Even the GROAT was annoying as hell to other fanbases. Other fans always hated his antics. But we love the guy.

Masai thanks for the BI trade,

Masai, THANK YOU

Masai wanted Maluach. Bobby overrode the decision.

You can thank Masai for bums like Dick, Walter, Chomche


this narrative gotta stop lol josh lewenberg is the clown who keeps putting out that nonsense with bobby/masai differences when its all false.

masai was all in on CMB

from pelley:

Keith Pelley specifically said Ujiri told him about how special Collin Murray-Boyles is and how excited he should be about him.


Yeah this makes zero sense. Pelley specifically mentioned that Masai said they got a really good guy in CMB. CMB is very much a Masai type of pick.

Masai and Bobby worked well together because they collaborated so well, not because they had differing opinions on everything. There’s a reason why they signed Masais entire team and them fired him lol

The Knicks are the most talented team in the East and always smoke us. Pistons have looked amazing all year but I got no clue if they can keep it up and how we match up with them.

Rest are not scary even if we might not be favored.

And being arrogant is also stupid if you suck. If gradey dick did the same thing would it be cool?

The thing is, Martin doesn’t suck. He was a huge reason we won that game and almost beat the Celtics the other night.

But you’re also preaching to the wrong guy. I’m a similar personality in sports. Very competitive. And if you try to show me up like Maxey did after the three near the end of regulation I’m definitely talking spicy to him the rest of the game. Guaranteed.


Maxey is the type of player that likes to dish it out but can't take it.

Glad someone gave it back to him.

yeah... CMB is 100% the type of player they have taken - without question.

Can't believe no one else noticed but when Maxey hit the 3 that he thought was dagger he was talking trash about how Martin can't cover him or how they dare put a rookie on him.

I'm glad Martin clapped back. This guy is going to be a player. Reminds of Norm.

i think celtics, knicks at least have our number. we're not enough a strong 3 point shooting team; we go minutes without scoring and im not too confident of our POA defense.

We also don't have the size to handle both the Knicks and the Celtics right now.

I think it's evident he's not one of those guys. He's needs good players around him to play better himself.


He’s a good player and actually played some great defense on Maxey in the clutch. Maxey is just too good.

Stop treating him like he’s a starting PG and you’re good. Let the dude do nothing but shoot. Do not put him in positions where he has to make decisions. He has routinely been a plus player in the NBA. Martin being serviceable may actually help IQ a ton and have him off ball more as you can play Shead with him a lot more.

To be fair, reading other teams’ game threads after a win is a guilty pleasure of mine so I get why he’s in enemy territory. I don’t know why he’s on Reddit though.

IQ was really clutch near the end, his corner shot and the pass to cmb. IQ is fine.

Maxey just said “he talks too much” after he hit the three on Martin, which is pretty fair considering Martin’s a two-way player who played twenty total NBA minutes before tonight :lol:
