People want to know why Scottie wasn't in the top 20 in allstar voting? Most people dont give a crap about this team.

This franchise needs to start producing results or it'll get even worse. We're still off to a good start but there are a lot of worrying trends that can get us back to mediocrity real quick.

Such a joke. Unwatchable product unless we make some trades. Otherwise tank it away. We have a generational draft coming up

Seeing Walter on the court with less than 3 minutes left when he was absolute crap all game is completely on the coach.

Starting small with Ochai over CMB when youre going against JV is all on the coach.

Benching your best 3 shooter repeatedly over scrubs who keep bricking 3s is all on the coach.

The clock showed 0.2 seconds when it left his hands on the TV clock.

The TV clock didnt seem synced with the game clock for some reason... thats why many of us thought it was good in real time

Jokes aside, I feel bad for the guy. His whole aura was predicated on being good in college. He can no longer do all the light hearted tik tok crap he was doing in his rookie season.

FT's were the difference in a game where both teams are shooting poorly. BI and IQ both missing one late hurt as well. Got up 20 extra FGA's, dominated the offensive glass and didn't turn it over but doesn't matter when you're not making anything out there.

CMB might be better than Barnes at the same age, just that Barnes got the start, even Barnes wasn't a good fit with Siakam.
I project CMB being a better 3&D player if Barnes is at best a 3&D with passing.


Barnes was the rookie of the year in a stacked draft class... CMB wont even make the all rookie teams... what are you smoking with that comparison loll


Advanced stats are rather similar, just that Barnes was played in more minutes, where raw stats are much better.

Barnes was as raw as CMB on offense back then, with Siakam and Anunoby playing the bigger positions. CMB doesn't get the start, and his raw stats are not pretty limited because of minutes.

But yeah, CMB won't be rookie of the year, Flagg is just a much better player, and much better than anyone in the Barnes draft. Flagg already scored 20ppg with less being assisted.

You should go check attendence, ratings and our allstar voting results if you think people arent tuning this franchise out. Most people I know dont give a crap about tbe Raptors after being hardcore fans for so long...

Get rid of Dick and replace him with a reliable bench player and we probably have another 2-3 more wins today. It’s an easy fix if they really want to improve this team without any big moves.

Btw teams lose to injured teams all the time. Stop overreacting and go enjoy the new year lol

How are you still defending this? Barnes was MUCH better than CMB in their rookie years and thats with CMB being a year older too.

I like the kid but CMB is a poor man's rookie Barnes at the moment.
