Our Rotations and Medical Staff Suck

[Ranger One]

People way too upset over a mediocre team.

Haha! This right here tbh. Who really cares at this point? This team as constructed isnt winning anything for the next 5 years. We're at best 1st round fodder. I could understand the rage if we were an elite team fighting for the #1 or 2 seed and had finals aspirations. But cmon man, people around here need a reality check. Too many here still huffing that copium from 2019.

Hm, what can we blame next? The towel boys didn't provide the right towels fast enough to dry off the player's arms so they missed their FTs!

We're the 8th seed, 2 games back from 4th. And that's with Pascal missing a bunch of games. Is this not EXACTLY the tier we thought they'd be at the start of the season? Lol..

[Andreas Orphan]

I blame this devastating two game losing streak on that head chef of theirs, Ryan Gallagher. He needs to be fired ASAP. Tank for Gordon Ramsay.

[Joker]

Our medical staff is probably above average but we did have multiple guys out with hamstring injuries at one point, which is a little questionable in terms of what team protocols they have for hamstring strengthening/flexibility. Otherwise a lot of injuries this year that are hard to avoid. Pascal slipping on the wet floor, Scottie landing on someone’s foot, Precious’s bad landing, someone stepping on Otto’s foot - all just bad luck.

[PhilBlackson]

It's not the medical staff, the coaches & management that need to shut down Scottie & Fred.

Idk why they keep pushing these guys out on the court when clearly they're not right. It's only hurting (pun intended) the team & them.

I disagree. Toronto has been non stop praised for their medical staff led by McKechnie over the past decade. The man was a trainer for 6 championships.

Nurse has repeatedly said Scottie is fine and fit to play. This is the NBA, nobody is 100% at all times, they all have to fight through the minor stuff. Scottie is playing bad because he's a limited player dealing with increased responsibilities in his second season.

FVV is just cooked tbh don't see what a staff could do about an unathletic guard losing a step he couldn't afford to lose

are you actually watching the games? Dude is looking like Wince Carter on every play. He's clearly not healthy.

Raps have gone stale. They still have some great pieces which could be part of a championship team but Masai simply hasn’t done much of anything the last three years.

Year after year we all see we need a big man. Year after year he doesn’t land one, this past offseason I think we all thought he’d finally land one and be more aggressive, nope

Is Masai even in Toronto anymore? Rarely see or hear from him. The man’s a sleep at the wheel and if he ain’t careful will eventually lose this team and send it back to the joke we once were.

Masai has not been the same hungry lion since the title

Nurse, medical staff, rotations are not to blame. Our off-season was basically removing all our end of bench players for more end of bench players. We didn’t move the needle at all.

Juancho is now out with an ankle injury, it is kind of crazy how many players on our team this season have been injured. I'm just expecting someone to go down every game now.

Guy looked like he turned the same ankle or each ankle on back to back possessions.

Masai and co are still considered top 3 in nba by just about everyone accept some “fans” on this board

People way too upset over a mediocre team.

People want to see a positive development curve. Mediocre or not. You want to see growth.

Perspective is required however.

well thats not how life works. people underperforming can quite often help a team too. Now the raptors dont have to max out fred. now pascal wont get his super max etc. now we dont have to overpay for gtj. the only really bad ones are the ones on rookie scale contracts aka Scottie who im honestly happy with.

If gtj and fvv want to unperforme or come back down to earth in a contract year who am I to complain not like were going for a championship

The roster itself is mediocre at best, so the rotations are going to suck. Can't speak on the medical staff, though.

[alan_156]

Trust me, our medical staff is great.

[Brettfinch]

It's such crazy thought that we just aren't that good and haven't been able to get things going as a unit. Yall just wanna tank so this fits the idea. Also can tell how new some of you are to the raptors Fandom and have been very privileged to recent raptors basketball. You can't imagine what it was like having Premo selected 1st overall. Appreciate this.

Team is at .500 despite massive injuries through the first quarter of the year and yet this “season is a wash” and “we’re a treadmill team”. I don’t know how people manage it but this board keeps getting dumber even when you think it’s not possible to get any dumber.

You mean to tell me you didn't expect this team to be first in the East while playing the majority of its games without some of our best players?

[Blazing_royale]

We're not winning a championship anytime soon. Chill y'all.
