PG: Jazz win the tank-off, Raptors now en route to be in a 3-way tie for 7th odds in the lottery 

Post#1 » by CazOnReal » Sat Mar 8, 2025 4:07 am

Since I guess we're more interested in play-in threads than an official post-game thread.

Get well soon, Ja'Kobe.

Raptors are now ostensibly tied with the Nets and 76ers for the 7th best odds after winning their 21st game of the season.

There’s a west coast trip coming up. Could potentially go 0-4. I still believe!

I just closed my eyes for a couple seconds

I saw the team in the 8th spot win the 2025 nba draft lottery

We are in an excellent spot right now

Not sure how we expected to not win vs the Jazz. Can't outtank them. Hoping Ainge gets a bust.

It’s hard to get super upset when we’re starting two guys and have a bench full of G Leaguers. What the f*** you gonna do?

The culture is much improved from the last couple of seasons, I’ll say that much.

We're going to let the young guys lead us into the play-in.
During practice we practice hard, and Brandon gets his reps.

The regulars win the 2 play-in games.

Then in first round vs Cleveland, we debut the Carolina Reaper (Ingram).
The Cavs have absolutely no info on us. Maybe they use NBA 2k to simulate something.They don't know how to prepare.

We are the first round trap.

I would start
Quickley/Ja'kobe/Ingram/Scottie/Jakob

Bring RJ off the bench to attack a tired or bench unit.

We are the 8th seed trap.

If we went through this entire crap year for Liam McNeeley, I'm gonna be pissed.

As if we were going to out tank the Jazz. We have a far better chance of sneaking in a loss tomorrow.

7 is still on the table but 8 is by far our most likely outcome...

8th is the dream at this point, I think its pretty likely we pass Chicago and maybe even the Magic they are so bad.

8th right now would mean making the play-in, which could mean actually picking 15th

They better not bring Ingram back, or else that could very well be a possibility

I don't know, I think the Magic are at least trying to win.

Would not be surprised that we go on a run, and they bring back Ingram for the playoff push...

Return to Toronto Raptors
