Seriously though, don't put much stock in tonight. Clearly Rusty and disjointed. Felt a bit like the Pistons game or the New Orleans game. Raptors always come back with a strong effort. Expecting a good team win tomorrow.

I must say though, Charlotte might be one of the biggest loser organizations in the league. Playing their starters down the stretch in a 30+ point game and Harrell acting like he's prime time. Pretty embarrassing. They were on a losing skid and finally won a game. Acting like they won a playoff series LMAO


They are in their glory. They live for these days.

There was a noticeable inactivity from several posters during the 7 game win streak.

I'd estimate we had 4 of these games so far this season? Maybe 5. Thats pretty much right for a tean with our record.

This also makes us look really reckless. Why are we running him out there if he's sick?

not an excuse though since every team goes through the same thing

This was to be expected. Thad only had a limited amount of time to practice with the team and then during this extended break probably forgot a lot of the plays/assignments. Another game or two and things will be right on track.

To believe that the Raptors are anything better than a play-in team (when fully healthy) is incredible.

Fred FAN here… I got nothing, that was awful. Not just Fred, we had four starters that didn’t belong on an NBA court. Worst game of the year.

Does Harrell pose after every made bucket? Does every NBA player have to do that cringey flex after making a bucket with contact? How is Pascal able to avoid ever getting touched on every drive?

Scottie did most of his damage in the 2nd quarter when it was still somewhat a game

This constant whining about playing time is bizarre.

We have BY FAR the worst bench in the league.

Sometimes guys are ailing or sick and we win. Qhy would nurse play the worst bench in the league every time our starters are not feeling 100%? We'd be far under 500 if he did that.

And then it becomes about "recklessness"? Lol

    When we win none of these same criticism exist and you can’t be objective at all otherwise you’re a hater.
