I don't think anybody is really celebrating after this....but it's nice not to be all the way at rock bottom, still close to it though

Start Mamu


He looks pretty lost defensively, probably not grasping our schemes well yet which is normal for a rookie.

Agreed.

Any other team selling a big though? I can’t see it.

Should have won comfortably but losing would have been embarrassing so it's good to avoid that at least.

He's a better 3 point shooter. Otherwise he's a worse player.

You're not an idiot...you can understand when auto correct takes over and what I mean..


Is he though? Gradey is Mr almost.

He’s almost a decent shooter, he seems like he can shoot, but in reality he isnt great at it.

He seems like a dynamic scorer but he doesn’t finish, he looks great doing it sometimes, but it never actually translates to buckets.

He tries really hard on defence, but it’s some of worst in the league. Maybe he’ll get stronger? Maybe he’ll defend better - Maybe maybe maybe… haven’t seen it this far, looks unlikely.

Good to know we’re better than Mobley + scrubs. Had me worried there for a bit…

Cavs are lottery level with their injuries. This game should never have been that close. Very underwhelming performance by the Raptors

Battle really bailed them out but it was nice to have a closer in Ingram to go to late game that you feel confident will get you a decent look.

Also, it’s never been more clear that RJ needs to go. We need a 3+D guard beside IQ. It won’t work otherwise.

It's funny how little Battle plays, for how poor we shoot.

I suggested gafford earlier. I can see Dallas moving on if the season goes in the toilet.

Mobley looks like a true 20ppg scorer now
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Start Ochai. Been saying it for months.

IQ/Shead
Ochai/RJ
Ingram/Battle
Barnes/CMB
Poeltl/Mamu

Should be the rotation

Return to Toronto Raptors
