Why is this Raptors team beating the Mavs? Lol

Because they can?

The Mavs are hot garbage. We can easily beat them if we aren't careful.

I don’t see us realistically losing to the Mavs who are in the playin hunt.

This should have been clinched sooner if we're being honest. The sooner we clinched at least 7th we could have gotten our core players minutes. It's obvious Ingram has been ready for months and young pieces don't want rest.

Whos gonna Ben Uzoh against the Mavs? AJ Lawson? Poetl better not play so AD can feast

Having it come down to the last game of the season would be the most entertaining outcome, would give that game a championship feel so I'm here for it

We have the best record of the bottom 10 teams, in the last 10 games. We knew it would end this way…

Ingram just had a PRP injection. Not sure he is ready. Which is ... alarming.

AD will probably catch a non contact injury from breathing too hard before our game

I don't think that's a real treatment... It's usually sold to the masses as a hair loss cure that has suspect results that don't last (would need continued treatment). This is more of a therapy like a massage than a real injury treatment.

Masai apparently said he doesn't give a f*** about finishing 7th or 8th last. Not those exact words, but he views this as a super strong draft.

19-3 start for the Spurs in the 2nd quarter to take the lead.

Would be a perfect night if they win.

The bolded is what the organizational messaging has been about the 2025 (and 2026) drafts, since as far back as at least June 2024.

COME ON, SPURS

PushDaRock · Post #815 » by **PushDaRock** » Thu Apr 10, 2025 3:40 am

If the Spurs win tonight, that simplifies everything

But if not, then there's the OKC-Suns game tonight as well to look at with many implications. The Suns are still in the race for the Play-In, but if they lose tonight, they are out, which could have them shut down all their starters when they play the Spurs next.

Other angle is if the Suns win tonight, the Mavs will still need a W when we play them which means they will be playing their starters while we rest some of our guys.

Regardless of what scenario plays out, we should probably have a decent chance to lock up 7th

He also didn't care to pay more for that 12th pick in 2013. He gets emotional and makes dumb decisions.

What organizational messaging? You interpreted organizational messaging as rebuilding this year and next - it's been proven wrong

If we stay at our current draft range (7-9), who would you like for the Raptors to draft?
