Perfect way for the fans to learn about the depth.

Maybe they'll realise why I think Ja'Kobe is the best non-rookie to join the starters, despite being in the 3rd group in training camp.

I can't be the only excited to watch, right?


CMB already seems like captain, hidden in plain sight.

joe only knows how to have his guys go 100% no matter when the game is so we'll get a good test here at least especially for CMB and the rest of the reserves.

Yeah I don’t think the starters need to play in all 6 pre-season games. Good call on resting them.

DeRozean/Lowry:

Led the Raptors to be a top team in the east for years, reached the CF Finals once and have reached the 2nd round a few times.
LeBron was just their boogie man.

Barnes:

...........



So please dont compare those two, as long as Barnes has nothing to show for. I know you dont like holding him accountable, but the lack of growth in his game is concerning.

Oh ya was Lebron on the wizards that's swept them? Gimme a break.
Accountability was firing all of Casey's assistants and running it back.

All time terrible post

Please don't compare the legend Demar DeRozan to that man child Barnes. Demar loved Toronto. Please don't besmirch Demar's great name ever again.

We're going to attempt to play with exactly zero quality ball handlers. You might be the only one excited for that.

What fuels this is the lack of transparency from the Raptors. They could take the heat off injured players by admitting they are injured players before they go out there and crap the bed.

Charging these ticket prices for this product is disgusting (re: pre-season, resting starters)

Couldn't pay me to go to this game

Return to Toronto Raptors
