If you're a young player on the Raptors, why even bother ? Lol this is why tanking is a terrible idea. All this losing will kill you inside. Lose games this season, but need to try to build a good team quickly if these are your guys.

Scottie and RJ showed up and showed out.

Silver lining.

Vince Williams eyes lit up seeing Gradey single coverage, dunked on him straight drive from 3pt line.

Scottie with growing pains performance. He kind of figured it out at the end. Too bad it’s too late

Cool. Another 120 games of this and maybe we get a top 3 draft pick.

We're tanking with no draft pick. Just genius management by Masai

There's people here that want to enter a full rebuild, where we tank for multiple seasons.
Such a nonsensical idea, Scottie will bolt first chance he gets.

Big stat lines Scottie and RJ and a W for tanking.

Would’ve been perfect if IQ played well too

Had to see it for myself.

With the way we're playing from here on, we can actually look forward to a top 6 pick

Worst loss of the season maybe? Lol everyone besides Scottie and RJ were embarrassing. I never wanna see a clip from this game ever. 6 game road trip coming up and Clips on Friday its gonna be real ugly. We might keep our pick just cause we're that goddamn bad.

We're getting zero spacing even when Barnes is being doubled. Darko needs to figure out why this offense is so slow. Why can't Quickley get any open shots? The only player who's finding this easy is Barrett.

Well things have gotten bad. Does a better coach get us to .500?
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

Return to Toronto Raptors
