Hopefully Bud plays guys based on effort level. I'd rather see a scrappy unit fighting for lose rebounds and diving to the floor lose by 20, then to see a lazy-passes-lead-to-multiple-turnovers squad win because they happen to have an unsustainably hot shooting night.

The Raptors are actively tanking, they have been sitting their starters in the 4th Q trying to lose games but yet they are 6-2 in their last 8 :crazy: They are now 1 game behind the Nets in tankathon.

Let's not ruin everyone's life and win this :lol:

Like you said they are 6W-2L in their last 8 games, so that can tell you that they are deep and they play without any pressure.

At this point I feel that every game is a challenge and this one will be a back-to-back. IDC if we win by one point on a ugly game, but get that **** W lol.

the raptors announcers are 100% right.
if you are smart you try to take the last shot of the quarter. instead royce jacks up 3pt shot after 3pt shot.

KD was never a good passer to begin with. I’m sure if you dig around you’ll find 40+ min compilation of his worst passing on YT.

Wow! Killing the Raptors 23-4 in the 2nd Q. This is probably our best quarter of the season. Lock down defense baby!
