Pretty sure we lose this one, especially if we trot out a similar lineup to the other night.

With this team who knows. Some nights they come out and look really competent.

If IQ and RJ are both out though its a wrap. Thats our offence.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I think they already ruled RJ out, and IQ is questionable last I saw.

Raptors looking to (avoid?) join(ing?) Charlotte and Schroder as the only opponent with multiple losses vs Detroit this year.

As long as Brown plays, I'm confident we lose. We just need our tank commander out there.

Ya just never know. In the Tampa tank season, we beat a similarly tanking Orlando team, lead by Paul Watson (30 points) and Yuta Watanabe (20 points). I wasn't too pissed, because I thought it showed we had lots of young talent (along with Jalen Harris and rookie of the month Malachi Flynn) going forward.

Then I learned never to trust stats accumulated on a bad team.

Edit: it's interesting to see that both Watson and Yuta turn 30 this year. Not exactly "young talent".

Yeah I think we need at least one of them playing if we're going to win. Would like to see the Raptors win regardless, maybe Dick will have another big game.

I turned 30 too, sometimes I feel life has passed me by.

:lol: I didn't find my true "metier", as the French say, or dharma, as Hindus say, until my mid 30s. And I didn't have kids until my 40s.

Keep your mind open, and get out there and accumulate contacts.

I've been noticing Darko's strategy, he makes guys play hard for 3 quarters and tank the 4th, seems about the best strategy for development. This is a must lose game can't let useless wins interfere with the plan.

We need to sit RJ and Quick tonight. A loss would be huge.

Quickly and Trent Questionable. RJ out for personal reasons meaning he is personally invested in tanking this game.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….
