Not everything I write is a personal attack against this team! It's just a general NBA observation in a a thread titled "NBA General Discussion".

But the Raptors are not in a unique situation. By this measurement, they are not even in the Top 10 of games lost to injury: https://www.rotowire.com/basketball/article/most-injured-nba-teams-97903

This person also calculated days lost to injury with the total salary to represent potential on-court impact. The Raptors had the third fewest games lost to injury and sixth lowest salary lost to injury: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1py68b1/most_injured_teams_by_value_missed_m_dallas_374/

Injuries are frustrating. They are not unique to the Raptors.

Of course they are not unique to the Raps. It's the new NBA.

The Raps have had 6 games where they had the 5 starters+CMB available so opponents ALSO get to take on the Raps shorthanded.


OK, you're right. I'll reserve judgment on this Raptors team until Jakob Poeltl's back can be superglued back together.

It is a little funny, though, that the goalposts are now all five starters plus specific role player we have decided is important. Jamal Shead doesn't get that love? Mamu has been pretty healthy this season too. Not to mention lottery pick Gradey Dick.

You are right, the Raptors suck this season. Given the opponents we faced we should not be tied for 3rd, we should have been 1st. They clearly suck and it's been just luck.

Is that your point? Lol

We all know how this ends.

Bucks fans are delusional with the expected return. There are some that they think they can get Castle AND Harper from the Spurs.

Barnes is getting very good at knowing exactly what the opposing team is running and stopping it before they get into their sets

Yeah, they scored 28 points in the second half. 10 in the fourth quarter. Porter and Ziaire Williams were the only double-digit scorers for the Nets.

They're horrendous. S'why they have 12 wins, heh.

I still remember bucks fans trying to gaslight everyone else into believing their team was actually good this year.

Trade deadline is literally 2 weeks away. Giannis can do all the subliminal messages he wants but until he makes it clear he wants out the Bucks aren't trading him

They hit on Kon, Sion and Kalkbrenner. One Brandon Ingram type trade and they are where we are.

Yeah, they've done pretty well in the draft of late, which is a nice turnaround. Kon looks way better than even his raw numbers suggest right now. He's got a lot more than his 3pt shot, which is really intriguing.

I’ve never necessarily been pro tank but sucks that we didn’t tank properly the last few years…

They would/can be a destination city if they ever get their act together. So many players from the area and a climate that many people love. I'm rooting for then to succeed. I do think they need to move off of Ball though.
