Raps vs Celtics: Preseason - Fri, Oct 10th, 2025 - 7PM EST

[Shakril]

If this fanbase supported demar DeRozan playing negative defense and putting up horrendous shooting splits and playoff performances for years but won't support Scottie at 24 years old based on his trajectory, this fan base is cooked.

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.

No i dont give you a break. You are just wrong. DeRozean delivered. Barnes hasnt yet.

lol didnt mogbo put up garbage like that last year too

[Brinbe]

not really feeling the energy so far. a bit too sloppy. I know it's preseason but gotta at least give a professional effort.

[Tripod]

Mogbo has no touch at all

[C_Money]

This current unit looks like ass

[bboyskinnylegs]

Mogbo is still horrendous offensively

he has some good moments defensively, but it's hard to see him really earning any playing time ahead of anyone in front of him

[artsncrafts]

yucky stuff

[Shakril]

At the same age, Kyle was 2 years from even becoming a Raptor let alone leading them anywhere.

DeRozean was the comparison. De Rozean was in the playoffs in year 5th. I am tired people are looking for excuses for Barnes. He has to proof it now. At some point, he is what he is.

You typed DeRozan/Kyle.

Scottie hasn't even started his 5th season.

I only typed in Lowry, cause they are essentially twins in this case. And i dont care if it is "only" year 5th. I care about progress, and i dont see little to no growth in Barnes game. I hope this year will be different. Dont get me wrong, i want him to succeed, but the notion that is above beeing critized for things he already should have learned is just wrong.

We getting schooled by Celtics bench..too soon to be calling us deep, these guys haven't proven anything yet

[Shakril]

I am seeing CMB for the first time in action and i like what i am seeing.

[MonkBatter42]

This lineup is disgusting

[Syd-TK3]

We gonna be that team that takes alot of 3s and hits none

[PushDaRock]

The shooting back down to Earth tonight

[mathgeek]

This is very ugly stuff. Grady looks like a Euroleague player honestly.

[Tripod]

Great shooting

[C_Money]

AJ Lawson needs to sub in. We need offence

[artsncrafts]

This is the Raptors bench + g leaguers.The bench did okay (Grady/Ochai/CMB)...the G-leaguers did not.

Chucky Hepburn?

[Grew]

The third stringers are down there for a reason. They are interesting individualy but put them out there as a unit and it's hard to watch. Everyone moves the ball well, no one wants to finish the play.

[Brinbe]

good chance to experiment, but yeah, that particular grouping was a fail.

DeRozan got us labelled LEBRONTO with that awful performance against Lebron

nahh thats straight up humiliation for the city

DeRozan is on the same level as Bosh when it comes to Raptors "legacy", non-existent
