PG (@Atl): Raps take Hawk Two-ah in Atlanta

[nestea]

He's pulling guys who struggle

the guy who should have been yanked out of the starting lineup weeks ago

Gradey Dick has been a godsend for the tank.

Yea on the bench

[Van_Trump]

Boucher: Trade me or I will destroy your tank.

[TimeForChange]

next 3 games against Pelicans, Wizards, Bulls.....could potentially have 8 wins in the last 9 games.

At that point, Masai can confidently say "I owe it to the guys, who worked so hard, to go for it (play-in)"

[Rapsfan07]

We really have to stop winning games. Seriously ruining what's already been a really bad year of basketball. We need to make this pain worth it

[EastonEddy]

Trade Boucher immediately and Poetl if possible.

If we screw up the draft this year we are going to be the biggest treadmill team in raptor history.

[srhcan]

Couple of days ago Raps were guaranteed to draft in top 5. Now its all lost

You mean top 6.....bottom 2 isn't realistic so no point in stressing over it.....best case is 3-4 which is top 7 guaranteed (4 has 2.2% chance at 8 which is insignificant)......Hornets and Nets are the main competition for those spots.

We were at bottom 2 at that time, only Wizards was behind us. Now we are at bottom 5.
This winning streak has cost us dearly. This team's ceiling is not that great. We need more talent to become a powerhouse and drafting higher is the best way to do it. We only get our current best player Scottie because we drafted high at #4. So why we are getting allergic to draft higher this year when there is an aboslute need for it?

Lets keep rollin to the play in!

inconvenient truth...we're too good! -Phil Blackson

Warned: Baiting

We're walking a precarious path here towards that territory.

we're playing teams like Warriors, Celtics, Magic, Hawks that are in losing slumps....some of it is just bad timing. And Magic, Hawks have had key injuries.

I saw a comment from a Hawks fan that said that they have a winning percent of .268 without Jalen Johnson going back to last year, that's a tanking team percentage.

A High pick would be nice, but the internal growth might be better.

Remember, this is Darko-ball, not Selfish-ball (2022-23)

[MEDIC]

lol this post-game presser. darko can hardly contain his happiness.

vibes gotta be good in the locker room right now. gotta get those trades in ASAP

You know he was dropping F bombs.

Dude was coaching completely different than early in the season lol. He's doing rogue for wins. He's pulling guys who struggle and making good rotation decisions

He must have read all of the "Fire Darko" threads.

Quick. Someone make an "apologize to Darko" thread.

[WaltFrazier]

I never thought so till recently but maybe Boucher could help my Knicks.

This is an offensive league, the roster needs someone who can consistently break the defense down. That is realistically acquired via draft, the higher the pick the better. Otherwise, you could waste many seasons spinning your wheels.

Well, there goes the tank ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the 13th pick again, watch the franchise be in a rut for the next decade.

I hate the Gradey Dick pick - he is going to be a 1-dimensional player for a long time before he can be good enough both sides of the ball to start for a contender, if he becomes that. But the alternatives at that pick were even worse. I ultimately blame Masai for messing up our draft position over pointless wins and a play-in game that caused our 2023 draft choices to dwindle to Gradey Dick. And Masai is doing it again this season - for the reason of pumping some SRP-worth veteran player values in a year they called rebuild year 1

You seem like someone who will literally never be happy.

No deal. No Canadian resources for you unless you want to pay the hefty tariffs.

He needs 15 kawhis to be happy

Ha. I've been thinking if Canada becomes the 51st state, will it help Raps attract free agents?
