This starting 5 still hasn’t posted a positive net rating lol.

RJ, IQ and Scottie has been a net negative for 80+ games now.

This starting 5 ain’t it and it won’t get fixed.

This team is a cone on defense

Can’t win if you can’t get stops. This team needs to learn how to defend

everyone kinda sucked in crunch time here. missed shots, FTs etc. offense just died down.
Yep. He was most glaring though.

lol barnes pulling a ben simmons was the most glaring though.
I can accept a player missing shots in the flow of the game but pussing out and passing it out...come on now.
missed FTs are inexcusable though whether it be quickley, barrett whoever.

If he is gonna have the ball in his hands more than Scottie or Brandon than we will be garbage. IQ is not a point guard, not even close. He isn't a starter imo but they paid him like has a star. Cole Anthony out played him who makes a fraction of his salary. Cole is a better athlete, more explosive, puts constant pressure on the rim. IQ can't get to the rim and when he does he struggles to finish. He can't create advantages or generate his own looks so him having the ball is pointless when he is the worst passer in the starter 5 imo. IQ needs to get THE F%*$ OFF THE BALL.

If the Raptors aren't up at least 8-10 points in the 4th Q, I think they will struggle to close games. They'll keep gambling for steals, give up easy looks as a result, and then be forced to score against a set defence. They don't have a plan in close games yet.

Why TF are you even paying Ingram $40M if he's not getting his number called to finish even one time?

Honestly everyone has been trash from players to coaching for a couple seasons now.

IMO Darko has gotta go, his adjustments are truly awful. He makes Jay Triano look competent. Hes a great development coach, but an awful head coach.

I have seen enough to know they can’t win the came. Yak and scottie were terrible defending Giannis. Both of them should be traded

The FT's were the ball game.

Making Scottie pressure Giannis full court is hilarious. Dude has never seen a Giannis game or something.

One thing I miss about Nick Nurse is he never let the other teams best player dominate the game. Giannis has never felt more comfortable going against the Raptors

Starr1 · Post #575 » by **Starr1** » Sat Oct 25, 2025 1:11 am

Gianni’s by himself abused and destroyed a whole team

Looking at the box score the Raps actually shot 40% from 3 but the Bucks took 13 more attempts and also controlled the boards. I think if the Raps can’t generate points in the paint then they have to control the boards and at some point we need more shooting

Weird analysis considering how well he did everything tonight except shoot the 3.

The guy so far has missed free throws and 3 pointers and everything else has been good.

I know but theres no way Giannis should be putting up stats like that and you still getting amazing games from scrubs like Rollins or Cole Anthony.
It's one or the other

Scotties pass might have been the most glaring moment. (For me it was quickley missing a wide open layup). But the most glaring PLAYER was easily quickley imo.
