Yep I’m more worried about the Pacers catching teams than teams catching the Pacers. As long as the teams ahead of them keep winning I’ll be happy

That's good. I got both Heat and 76ers finishing ahead of the Pacers in that case.

Our entire roster made us as the 7th worst team in the nba. Some people (not you) think we can just bring back everyone and actually be good lol.

Do you think we'd be on a 15 game losing streak if healthy?

Nope but we'd also be major underdogs against Indiana even if healthy lol.

I think you’re over-rating the Pacers. They are 12-9 since the all star break. We’d be dogs against them for sure, but major underdogs is an over statement.

With that said, without Poeltl and Barnes, we’d have trouble guarding Siakam so even with a full team given who’s available, it will be a long shot. Let’s hope we can pull one out.

Miami seperating

A Philly win tonight would be uuuuuuge.

I’m rooting for Miami. My hope:

6 - Miami
7 - Philly
8 - Indy

But I’ll settle for Indy in 7th vs Philly in 8th

Syd-TK3 · Post #1091 » by **Syd-TK3** » Fri Apr 5, 2024 1:30 am

Yea a miami win is way more important Philly could honestly go 5-0 to end the season with that schedule

Syd-TK3 · Post #1092 » by **Syd-TK3** » Fri Apr 5, 2024 1:46 am

Nvm miami with the greatest choke ever

LoveMyRaps · Post #1093 » by **LoveMyRaps** » Fri Apr 5, 2024 1:46 am

Heat epic choke.

Oh well.

Not really overrating Indy even though I do think they're good. They're just missing the early season Halliburton who was playing at a MVP level.

My comment was more to put down this current version of a completely healthy Raptors lol. I do like BBQ as a starting point but we just have too many holes otherwise.

Just want Pacers in the play-in. Can't see them beat Miami or Philly.

Now that Haliburton's hot start is a thing of the past, there's a chance they don't. Should be an exciting play-in for Raps fans :lol:

People actually think that the Raptors will be the only team that is allowed to improve this offseason while everyone else will stay the same or get worse loll.

Poeltl only played in 14 games after the Siakam trade where they went 6-8. In two of those losses RJ was out. Scottie got injured in a 3rd loss against GSW. Meaning we went 6-5 without injuries.

After the OG trade, Raptors were 3-1 with the new group + Siakam before a Poeltl injury. Bringing us to 9-6.

Edward Rogers just straight up lying with those stats , I’m assuming cause he wants Masai out of the picture.

Part of being a good team is being able to overcome injuries. Every team gets hurt, only the crappy ones cry about it. It just exposes the lack of true depth and lack of roster balance on this team...

What’s your point. All I did was list the stats.
