Is 1st page real estate still worth anything?

Brothers, this team is simply too good to tank if healthy.

Really should have Agbaji start in place of Dick if the team is serious about winning

I get this starting lineup is still trying to figure things out now that everyone is healthy but this was a lousy loss.

Way too many dumb mistakes that cost them an ultimately winnable game.

And i'm not including Darko's very obvious tanking move via not playing Shead or Boucher who were excellent tonight.

I enjoyed this less than multiple blowout losses this season.

This was an ugly ass game to watch.

+17 with Shead
-24 with Quickley


We're forcing the ball into Quickley's hands. We need someone else controlling the team

Scottie came into the year as arguably the best player in his draft class, now it’s debatable if he’s even top 5

IQ with the FVV like performance in the 4th tonight

RJ just awful all around

not too surprised that they lost. they're just not all that good. think people are still in denial about things thinking they're something they're not.

You could probably add prime Kawhi to this team and they would probably be a play in team at best. Defense, rebounding, coaching and ft shooting are all awful. They also play with 0 heart

Masterful tank job by Darko

Boucher 5-6 in the first quarter, doesn't take a single shot for the rest of the game

Star J 0-8 from 3, 5 TOs, -17 and top 3 most minutes played

I had this team winning in the mid 20s before the start of the season. Don't know if we will get to that.

Return to Toronto Raptors
