We need to see the team at full strength at least 1 game. We are not good to be throwing games to start the year trying to develop chemistry.

Scottie Barnes paint scoring vs Blue Jays post-2nd inning offensive production

Unstoppable force vs immovable object

We barely saw iq rj sb play together last year, and we added Ingram. They need game time.

It's the preseason. Literally nothing that happens right now means anything. There's nothing to worry about until we actually start the season and get a bunch of games with a full roster and a normal rotation and see what happens then. And even then, it'll be 15, 20 games before we have a real idea. As always.

I don't understand who plans out the pre-season schedule. No team should ever play another twice in a 4-6 game pre-season schedule. So boring...

It's so hard to juggle recovery for these athletes when training camp runs during pre-season. But you're absolutely right.

No one's talking about wins and losses during preseason but the whole point of preseason is to get you ready for the regular season. The starting lineup has played 0 minutes together in their careers so yes, I do think its important for us to workout the kinks as much as possible when games mean nothing.

Can we see the starters together one preseason game? Perfect opportunity versus the saltics tonight

Wait the Raptors themselves pick who they play in the preseason and how many games they play? Or just one or the other?

Both. I am sure the league has some influence however especially with the international stuff.

Some teams play 4 games, some play 5, some play 6.

I think I knew about them picking how many games they play bc I did notice every team plays a different amount of games, but I didn’t realize they also pick who they play. Thanks for confirming

The "gap" year Celtics will win more games this coming season than the "win now" Raptors.

If the Celtics win more games after losing Jrue, Porzingis, Horford, Tatum then its a complete wrap for this core lol.

Their role players always find a way to step up, and in general, everyone on that team is a 3pt sniper for some reason.

There's gotta be something in the water in Boston.

I’ll probably watch the Blue Jays lose instead. Bored of pre season already.
