fake win, the defending champs were missing their 2nd star player in Jrue and 3rd option Brook Lopez


If that's what you seriously think...oh boy. Middleton has definitely been more of a 2nd option than Jrue both of the last 2 seasons. Jrue's numbers are largely inflated from a few stretches where Giannis+Middleton missed multiple games (like averaging 29/5/9 in a 4-game stretch in December).

Lopez as a 3rd option? lol. He has averaged 12 PPG on less than 10 FGA in his 3 seasons with the Bucks. He was the 5th option in 18/19, 4th option in 19/20 and 4th or 5th option last season. Portis has been the much better offensive player for the Bucks and just as effective at boxing out/collecting boards. The only area where Lopez is definitively better than Portis is rim protection.

Nice to see PSizzle come through in the clutch!

Freddy Allstar getting exposed for the role player that he is though so that's a positive.

He's been arguably the best 2-way PG over the course of the season and a top play by most statistical valuations, but sure, "role player" lmao


I don't even think he credited Fred when he had that incredible third-quarter and was player of the week. Nothing will ever change his mind.

It's just pure hatred. And it's unfortunate. Fred is like the point guard every team wishes they had. Guy plays both ends of the floor and is an incredible leader. Like what more do you want.

Went through the schedule, because we got a bunch of fake wins (like tonight without Jrue and Lopez for the Bucks for example). 11-18 is our realistic draft range now. Which isn’t bad, hopefully we are in that 11-13 rather than 15-18.

Fred carried the team defensively. It was beautiful to watch. I think he cemented himself as a top 3 on ball defender at his position.

My bad. Usually I can tell when you're just poking fun at "team compete," but I legitimately thought that was an honest response lol.

Naw man, he a glorified role player stats chaser, basically a poor man's Westbrook. Stealing all of Scotty's shots and spotlight. A detriment to our success.

Freddy all star is currently getting double teamed more than any Raptor since Vince Carter. It's a major factor why Pascal has been going off lately.

Better than Lowry scoring 5 points on 10 shots before a late-game three in a blowout.

Not bad at all considering teams have been playing FVV like Curry lately. Siakam and OG have been getting a lot of good looks the last few games because of the gravity of Fred. Still, through this "slump" FVV is averaging 23.5/3.5/6.5 with more steals (9) than turnovers (7).

Can't imagine not enjoying the Raptors win cause I'd rather see them draft a mid-late lotto pick.

Team mediocre sleeps satisfied, team loser dreams of future losses.

At least boogie tried to rationalize his hatred

Like I'm not trying to resort to personal attacks or anything, but this is just mind-boggling

I'd rather cheer for losses and the 11th pick than just enjoy the team and let them pick wherever they pick. Also, I'm gonna take runs at FVV because I'm a huge fan of the team.

Agreed, biggest fake win since our Fake Championship beating up on the short handed Warriors.

why you all have to take this so seriously? I'm here for the draft pick to make the team better. If the team is too good for that lottery draft pick, I'm not going to call up Masai to convince him to tank.

like I said, let's wait to see what happens to the team by the trade deadline. One win / one loss doesn't make a trend or prove the current talent level of our team.

Return to Toronto Raptors
