Absolutely pathetic. They were up 21 pts now getting doors blown off.

No Franz, no Suggs. There's no one to rally the team on the floor. They've been looking defeated for awhile now.

Paolo looks absolutely dead. The team is in shambles. No offense. No defense. No direction. It’ll all be fine but the timing of all this is brutal. It’s so easy to blame this on injuries and go through the trade deadline with no moves.

This team has given up. So sad after fighting so hard for weeks.

They're down to 3rd stringers and are thin on depth. It's hard to compete when you're down 7-8 players and your Star player is on minutes restriction

The regression of WCJ and Cole Anthony into 3rd string level players is as much a story this season as anything. Yes, injuries are the primary thing that have derailed our season. But these are two guys we have had available that have not delivered. Well, Cole at least had his moments, but has been awful overall. WCJ hasn't given us anything all season.

No hot takes from this disastrous game aside from officially disowning Wendell Carter Jr. Goga isn't an all-stsr but he has always stepped up and produced for us when his number was called. Wendell can't even give us NBA-level minutes when we desperately need him.

It's insane. At least Cole has a team option in 2026. Our team option for WCJ isn't until 2028. Just gross. That's three more seasons of guaranteed money.

Sorry I missed that…I’ve been pushing for noted shot-blocker Olynyk for months

Too many injuries and the Raptors been playing solid lately as they beat a Healthy Celtics squad two games ago.

Sure, nothing to do with talent or being tired.

Just pull Paolo and rest him before he injures himself at this point.

At some point it catches up to you. Let's not underestimate how amazing it is that we even have the record we do. The injuries we have had would have buried anybody. We're struggling mightily right now but we've done an amazing job staying afloat amidst massive adversity.

Truly, my only takeaway from this is: WCJ is not a guy I'm interested in having be a part of this team.
