Look at what he’s been given to work with man.
The bench features Bembry, Baynes, Len, Yuta, a rookie, Watson, Thomas, TD, and Norm, who’s been bad.
This is not a good roster. Thats evidenced by the change in the rotation every night.
Sure the roster has its problems but this roster is better than a 20% win percentage team. We’re sitting below all the crap teams of the league and a lot of these teams have far worse rosters
When you look at it Siakam looks like the only dependable scorer in the starting lineup the Raptors have atm.
Looking at the stats it looks like the Raptors are constantly playing 4 on 5 with the starting rotation.
OG is inconsistent as he's either completely cold or he scores 18 points on 9 shots like tonight.
Lowry has not had a great last 5 games, FVV has cooled off.
Honestly, it seems that they need another inside prescience to steady the variance that relies on the 3 ball.

Opponents are getting more FT on average because they have a varied offense with players who generate contact.
Our team by contrast is simply too small and doesn't have scorers who are creative around the rim.
I'm not a stats guru but I would imagine losing the FG attempt totals and rebounding battle every night isn't going to amount to many wins no matter how close the games are.

I'd like to hear from that Len fan
Brianinphilly where you at.
Explain yourself
Len is the worst center on this team, worse than Baynes.

These losses are draining.
If we don't sweep this charlotte 2 gamer that might be it for me. Officially join TWO, Focus on dissertation defense, and hope for a high draft pick.

Literally. What’s the plan at this point? Play our way to a 500 record, get knocked out of the first round and get a meh draft pick? May as well call us the Toronto magic.

Pistons made horrible moves throughout free agency aside from Grant. They signed like 5 Centers in the same day lol
You say they traded for Russ as if that was supposed to make the wizards legit lol. And yet the majority of their wins have come with Russ out so that should tell you all you need to know.
We had the 2nd best record in the league last year and yeah we lost our bigs, but after signing Baynes the media thought we’d be at least alright and wouldn’t drop off too much. Don’t pretend like this team hasn’t been really bad in comparison to expectations with the roster they have. 2 all stars from last season (1 a starter)
I knew the wizards wouldn’t be legit with Westbrook. He’s trash. But the wizards gave up wall and a pick for him to get worse? Also go on the general board and see what people were saying over the summer. Over half of them had wizards as the 6-8 seed. Same with the media.
Also you’re severely undervaluing the value gasol brought. He was literally our anchor on D. You play him instead of Len for the 7 or 8 minutes that Len played the last 2 games and we probably win both of those games.
Also you’re putting the blame on nurse for being 2-10 this year but not giving him any credit for being the 2nd seed last year? The truth is we overachieved last year and we’re underachieving this year. Over 72 games our record will even out to around 450-500 unless we trade Lowry. Losing what was the best center rotation in basketball hurt us bad whether you want to admit it or not.
Again, I’m not advocating for him to get fired. I said his resume is the only reason he’s not being questioned right now, which you seem to agree with by mentioning his resume from last year. Obviously Nurse isn’t solely to blame for our record so far but he’s not faultless either. His rotations haven’t been all that great and he hasn’t been managing minutes all too well either. 6 double digit blown leads don’t just happen for no reason. It’s on the players as well as the coach

Another bright spot... Siakam is good... I was really harsh on him during the the first couple games...
I still don’t think he’s a #1 option, but many players aren’t and that’s okay. I think he falls into that Paul George tier IMO. He’s almost there, but he’s not.
IMO he could be a 20/8/6 type player as a #2 option.

Could be Len's burner. I've never actually seen him post on game days. Just saying.

Raptors turning people to TWO game by game lol. I really doubt we’d sweep the Hornets, but we could split with them I think. Hayward seems to be on a revenge tour with how he’s started this season and LaMelo is getting more and more comfortable with every game they play.

He's been blowing layups all season. His footwork is kinda sloppy and he doesn't get deep post position (so he works much harder just to score).

I was actually called a Trump supporter for saying this core is weak because of low IQ.
Don't worry, there will be a response quoting me doubling down on it and my mental capacity being lacking
Facts. I got called an idiot and a new fan because I said we aren't a top seed this year.
