Does anyone know of a website where I can export the Raptors schedule as a calendar invite and add it automatically to my calendar?

I've never used it but if you go to nba.com/schedule there is a link at the top right titled "Add Games to Calendar".

Maybe that's what you need?

The above poses an interesting question. Do we have someone this year that could break into the top 5 best on the team and who would they be replacing?

It’s such a flawed starting 5.

Small backcourt and small frontcourt.

I think Koloko is going to end up a part of the rotation quicker than most people expect.

Agreed, but we definitely need talent at the end of the day regardless.

I'd keep FVV but want Trent off this team, hopefully we can put a package together to get someone better and I'm sure Masai and Bobby see this.

Sometimes I think Nurse is the GOAT coach with some of the stuff this guy has our team achieve. Once the team is in sync and understand the system, we can beat anyone but it's always like we gotta work so much harder and tbh it's due to the players we have. I love how our team likes innovation and thinking outside the box, that's what you gotta do with what you have available, that includes not being able to attract top talent due to where we play, it is what it is.

I hate that this team has such huge egos that Nick actually has to entertain the idea of an honourary 3 minute start and then making subs instead of just starting who he wants game by game.

What teams have done that in the last though? I can’t think of any teams that have just changed their starting lineups game to game. Really hard to build consistency with players having different roles on a day to day basis. Hard to see anyone on the team with a big ego.

Umm if you asks any of those starters, to go to the bench to start, they would dislike it.

To me, Nick sure sounds like a guy who wants a real C in his starting lineup. And really, do we want a fully energized Embiid, etc... pounding our smaller guys. It's one reason why our guys get dinged up.

Moving Gary(though I like him), to the bench just solves so many issues. Gives the other starters more shots to get into the game. Gives us a bench scorer with good defense. The issue is Koloko is still so raw and slight and Birch is Birch. Hopefully this years Birch is better...early on it looks that way.

Lol, did you see him last game? He did not look like an NBA player, let alone a rotation one.

Not sure he was asked. I don't think it's the type of information you necessarily just offer. This team is usually pretty hush on injuries I would say

Thats just one game .. there will be ups and downs as a rookie. You have to evaluate on the entire body of work (summer, practises, pre-season) and by all accounts, he's looked solid and will help us. Team needs a big.

First time getting a chance to listen to this. Some interesting insight into the back of the roster decisions early in the video. He says they're mostly looking at team fit and what the team needs right now, and also that he personally (but doesn't want to speak for the other coaches or the front office) is leaning towards offence.

I wonder if that means that Gabe Brown is getting serious consideration? It seems as though he's been the best shooter of those end of the roster guys all throughout pre-season and from what we've heard about camp. Shooting is definitely something the Raps could use more of, so I wouldn't be surprised if Ron Harper Jr's two-way spot is in danger from Brown.
