Yes, I don’t get it, and we keep doubling every game. Hence why we are in this losing streak

It's a defensive issue and doesn't help that we have no centers. But I'd like to see Darko fired and Jama Mahlalela take over for the interim. I feel like he would be a better head coach than Darko. Darko is too soft. Someone needs to get in the players face for their defensive effort

Darko is Serbian. BI literally said that Darko is the most intense coach he's ever had. If you think he is soft, you're essentially Jon Snow.

These late game garbage time calls are a hilarious. Where were tbose calls all game?

NBA is a joke.

This is an absolute joke. Masai's head already rolled and everyone else shouldn't be far behind if things dont turn around asap.

We hit 21 3's at over 50% and lost by 20

This team sucks. How many did we miss a basket ans there was a 3 on 1 the other way. they are so disconnected in transition and defense.

This roster construction wont cut it.

and this is from someone who thought we were legit one Knick injury from winning division

I never thought the transition and defense.would be tjis bad

A role player shouldn't make or break your team. Thats always been this managements flaw since they let Gasol/Ibaka go. Its quite pathetic tbh

We shot the lights out from 3 and are gonna lose by 20.
Like all of that is great but you not gonna do anything in this league playing defense the way we are

IQ strikes me a trying too hard actually. It’s a good thing, he got paid but he cares Just seems like he’s feeling pressure and it’s not helping him make good quick decisions.

YoungG · Post #511 » by **YoungG** » Thu Oct 30, 2025 1:02 am

This team is so frustrating to watch. They DO NOT defend anything, even at an average level. IQ is playing for himself this year. If he doesn't look for RJ, he is going to do something that makes you scratch your head in disappointment. If Jakob doesn't play, the Raptors CANNOT REBOUNDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. The only thing I will say positively about this team is that they can score with the best teams out there, but everything else is so subpar that it makes you not want to tune in.

We were losing games last season because we couldn't score or shoot lol now seemingly we can and are losing games because we can't defend anyone. Kind of funny really.

Yes and factually the team is playing without a starting center which is kinda important to winning basketball.

Difficult concept for your to grasp but hey.. some people struggle.

This is exactly the type of basketball I despise. Everyone wants to score. Nobody wants to defend. Soft.

I would rather watch a grind if out defensive game & lose by 5.

This is just hard to watch. Not competitive at all.

Barnes matched Durant tonight...all you could ask of him

Can’t even blame Darko. Roster isn’t good enough.
