Yeah Giannis is never coming to Toronto now.

You are excited at the idea of Ed Rogers having more power and conviction to fire one of the most respected and sought after sports executives in the entire world? :roll: :lol:

Absolutely. Nobody should get a free pass for their entire life to mismanage an organization as badly as this one has been this decade and Ed may be the only one with the guts to end that free pass.



Randle, got your wish. Hail Ed! Hope you get seasons man.

With a political firing, the organization is now back to joke status. The days of Richard Peddie meddling and dumb ass choices are back. Dark, Bobby and all the players are now in limbo.

NBA isn't the pinnacle of business management.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Apparently getting easily bounced from wild card games is actually good management.

But im ***ing done with sports in this city. Everything Rogers touches turns to absolute ****. Im not going to waste any more of my time watching whatever Rob Babcock level sycophant a-hole he puts in to run the team. Firing Masai a day after the draft is just the kind of bushleague horsesh*t this franchise used to be known for. Here we are again.

Im out for good.


At least we won 1 in our lifetime!


Yep. Never thought it would happen. Ill never forget that team or the insane parade. Nepo baby POS will make sure we will never see another one.


Many fans from other cities and sports never seen a championship in their lifetime. We will just ride the wave from here on out like always tbh.

Yeahhhhhhhhh. I was pretty shocked they passed on Maluach, who was absolutely a Masai pick.

Hmmmmm.



Yep, and watch the Open Gym clip when Masai does the customary call to CMB after they drafted him. It was more cringy than past draft picks and Masai didn't seem to know what to say, then wanted CMB to look at the scouting team. Then you see Bobby so out of his shell, so excited like a kid in candy store and tell CMB "See I told you at dinner welcome to Toronto!"
