Panic.

Shooting slump, not abnormal for shooters, I've seen some great shooters shoot like trash for the first 8-10 games, then kill it the rest of the season. Total production wise though, he's down to 20.8 mpg, so that's a factor.

I would give anything to go back to the days where I never had to hear about prop bets or same game parlays.

Same. Silver laid down with dogs and is now shocked that he woke up with fleas.

Can anyone check average fouls called per regular season game from last year vs. this year so far? Seems WAY up.

23.0 this season vs 18.6 last. You're not wrong.

Good lord. Ref ball is here.

Gobert really stole that DPOY from Wemby didn’t he

Raptors are that team that makes 21 threes on 53% and gets blown out.

the defense looks horrendous. The rebounding is nonexistent. Opponents have doubled our rebounds in the last 2 games.
The issue is that this team is so reliant on Poeltl, we have no suitable replacement for him. It's not good for your team to be so dependent on a role player.

Very, very, very poor roster construction and so many problems that were clear from start.
Nothing close to backup Center.
No true point guard.

Army of players with identical or very similar skillsets, who all need ball in their hands to be effective. Odd fits of Ingram-Barnes, with very similar & overlapping preferred positions & basketball habits.

Raptors in same time shoot lights out and can't beat anybody.

From start of a season i couldn't buy into notion that team, with so man errors can win more than 40 games. Even on East.
Victor averages 1,8 blocks more than Raptors.

I honestly have no clue how to fix Raptors fast, At some point at least one of Barrett, Barnes, Ingram has to go to boost PG/C positions. Fact that team burned so much money into Quickley for being glorified bench scoring combo guard who happens to start by accident for sure doesn't help.

what's wild is that we already tried this "all wings, no guards/centers" strategy with Siakam and OG and it sucked then too.
The original sin was trading for Poeltl when we had the opportunity to tank in the Wemby draft. That ruined our chances in 2 drafts and continued us on the path to keep making trades to chase the play-in.
