Darko has us losing in cruel and unusual ways.

Exciting game where Raptors make opponent scared ****, refs screw Raptors, Darko makes flabbergasting coaching decisions at the end of game and we win the tank.

So remember when I said Darko is a joke of a coach for his late game management and a bunch of folks went at me?

You all know who you are so I hope you enjoyed this one lol.

Yeah once again besides the very end it wasn't an embarrassing game by any means and once everyone is back from injury it will be interesting to see what we've got. I hope the players aren't getting too frustrated with these losses.

No timeouts for last 2 plays is definitely a tank move.

So should the media ask Darko why he'd give the ball to Poeltl down 3, or is it best to not draw attention to this so the league doesn't investigate us for game fixing?

Refs are either working overtime for Masai to help us get Flagg or we're going to have a really hard time beating teams when we're actually ready to win. This is getting a bit ridiculous now lol

Wrong decision to go to RJ for game tying shot when he's been completely crap all night. So it was either another bad coaching move by Darko or a stroke of genius. Don't know which!!!

Darko has to be tanking because having your best free throw shooter inbound to your worst down 3 is unexplainable

When you identify what the goal is, you realize why Darko is here.

Poeltl catching the inbound pass was a tank move or just incompetent.

we never get the benefit on foul calls lol.

with that said, IQ back and no awful 4th quarter turnovers.

Like I said in the game thread, I refuse to believe Darko isnt intentionally tanking. There is no way he’s stupid enough to even leave the possibility of Poeltl catching the ball with his back to the basket down 3 on the table, unless that’s exactly what he wanted.

Ochai has really turned the page this year. He's playing so well and looks like a keeper long term.
