The Raptors in what looks like a scene from The Office

[Dez]

It's goofy but things like that make a work place a fun place to be and why be against fun?

[Calvin Klein]

Rather have this type of locker room than miserable KD or bully Shaq though

[JujitsuFlip]

Eh, I'm here for it. Anything that brings extra joy, do it. 82 game season is a grind, gotta find moments like this.

I like Darko and hope he can win this year with the Raps. Last two years were a mess, but I think the guy has a future as an NBA coach.

Oh dude, if he was your coach and if you watched our team in 1st year or 2nd year, you might not be as generous. 1st year the team looked bad on offense, and stunk on defense despite having Pascal and OG. He didn't know how to use time outs, his subs were poor, and plays coming out of time outs didn't work. A few weeks into the season he began to change his offense so that it looked more like a conventional NBA offense. He had a FULL summer and pre-season and training camp to teach the players his scheme but didn't get it done.

Still had issues last year but we were obviously tanking so maybe his dubious moves were intentional. That said, he didn't lose enough games for us to land in the top 5 so that's an F to me. Remember, we were INTENTIONALLY TANKING. This year 1st game looked very good in that the team looks like they know and understand the schemes we're running, and not too many mistakes seemingly were made. He did have impactful subs. I still don't think he is going to be a coach for a contending team. I don't think he's a tactician who's great at adjusting in game which is what you need for playoff success.

So game 1 is good, but there's a lot to be seen if he can be a coach for a team that's vying for a playoff spot. Which the Raptors are given the moves they made. As had been discussed in the past year on this board and elsewhere, all those player signings isn't a "rebuilding" move. They are all "win now" move.

Very wholesome!

[Saul Goodman]

Dont know about his Xs and Os but he looks like a guy everyone is happy to play for

What's the deal with the cobra staff?

The actual answer is “the head of the snake”.

[CP War Hawks]

Awesomeness right there. Dwight Shrute and Prison Mike into one. Meanwhile Snyder is having his post game, with his coked out mannerisms explaining why the team always under performs.

[Domejandro]

Man, poor Scottie is just trying to eat his burger. Dude is going to request a locker change.

What's the deal with the cobra staff?

It is to symbolize the player who has experienced the Kundalini awakening where the serpent that lies dormant at their mooladhara awakens thereby causing an infusion of prana up the sushumna nadi, infusing the player with the awakened, hitherto-dormant power of their unconsciousness.

TANTRIC RIZZ... OF DARKO...

In other words, it has nothing to do with defense

Pretty much. This is the first time I've seen it. Why it's a snake? No F'n clue . But I do appreciate them highlighting defense, as people seem to praise high offense.

I wonder if the player who receives the snake staff has to take it home with him. I keep imagining one of the players trying to fit it into their Ferrari. Do they have to bring it back for the next game? So many questions...

Forget the snake part, why is he going around handing out staff??? I want to know how he came up with that one.

[NoStatsGuy]

Of course it is about defense it's about defending yourself against the karmic cycle of death and destruction, and of the defending yourself against the possibility of being an unenlightened self that is ignorant of the great communion between Shakti and Shiva. The rizz of yogaaaaaa

The NBA should test that locker room for weed, that's all I'll say.
