I'd even be tempted to sit Gary Trent and just play FVV - OG - Barnes - Siakam - Poetl every single second and win by a final score of 48-32 every game. Just for fun.


I think that'll likely end up being the starting lineup (and maybe not 48 mins but Nurse does love playing his starters a lot!). Then let Trent just be a gunner off the bench with Precious Achiuwa and Chris Boucher.

Maybe not quite as entertaining as those potential 48-32 games could be, but it'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out. lol

Insanity/Bi-polarity of being a Raptors fan


Truly the worst fanbase on realgm and it's not even particularly close. It never ceases to astound me how pretty much every move Ujiri makes is lambasted by 3/4 of the people posting on that forum as if they somehow know better when the guy has managed a team that's won a championship and missed the playoffs once (during Covid playing in Tampa) in the time he's been here.

I havent been active on our board for more than a few years now (last time was prolly 2016?) for this reason. I did a quick pass thru today after the deadline just to gauge the temp on the board and man, nothing has changed.


a championship - one of the hardest things in sports to get - is still not a cure for stupid.

Celtics fans are the worst. Immature. Have a nice day sir.


Sounds great. Glad I could inform you who Robert Williams was today. He's on a team in your division even so it might come up in the future!


He never plays but when he has he is very good. Hopefully he can stay healthy for the playoff run. You guys got Muscala who is a legit shooter and end of bench guy. Might come in handy at some point.

I've been giving Nurse and the Raps the benefit of the doubt in regards to their bad defense this year. Now that they have a capable back line defender in Poetl, there are no excuses. If they don't perform like a top 5 defense for the rest of the year, someone's reputation is taking a hit. The defensive personnel here is ridiculous and now they've plugged a major hole.
