PG: We need a longer practice 

Post#1 » by Childs » Mon Dec 30, 2024 1:34 am

Most pts given for Memphis, 2nd most TOs in Raptors hx. Making records. Response from Memphis was pitiful.

10 losses in a row.

Not sure why folks are so upset, we just improved our defense by 19 points from game to game. The extra long practice worked!!! Lol

I don't want to hear ANY complaints about this game. Need I remind people that IQ is still injured? We need to give this healthy roster at least 25 games to see what we really have here. Mitchell and Fernando were also injured. Bruce Brown needs time to get back to normal. Mercury is currently in retrograde which certainly complicates matters. I hear Scottie is still injured, possibly playing with a broken ankle. Just have patience guys.

If Darko wants to motivate this team he'll offer to take the team to get McDoubles for back to back wins lol

-Darko has lost the team, and has shown enough the past two seasons to indicate he’s a mediocre coach. I don’t expect him to be back.

-Scottie is a great foundational piece, who frustrates some fans because they mistakenly swallow the team’s marketing of him as the franchise player to mean he needs to be a Kawhi or Tatum takeover level player on offense. He’s still an All-Star, and a winning player who needs better players around him and likely a much better coach.

-Rebuild still moving forward as expected, nothing to see here. If you can’t take these losses tune out until the draft lottery, it will be better for your mental health.

Is this the worst Raptors team ever??

What is Darko and the coaching staff teaching these players about defense?

This team has looked like they haven't played together before for the last few games.

With all the injuries, and people coming back, some of that rhythm from earlier has definitely been thrown off. Give it a few games and they should at least look competitive again once they play a few games together. This team at least looked cohesive and was fun to watch before. This recent stretch of injuries have really messed with chemistry. But now the full roster is almost here so let's hope we can get a stretch of games with no injuries..

But there is no way guys like Olynyk and Boucher should be playing over the rookies. None.

I feel like the team started to treat Darko like a joke as early as last season when he mentioned the pizza party nonsense. At least on a subconscious level, at first.
