this back to back vs the knicks is very important for the tank. really could swing things in favor of the tWo.

Knicks are awful. The Raptors are 100 percent healthy with no injuries in sight. I can't see them losing either game.
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.

This game really challenges my allegiances. Tanking is my true love but beating the Knicks and watching their board implode is my first love.

This reminds me of a quote from Spider-man 2.
Sometimes, to do what's right we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most,


I want the tank to succeed so every game is crucial including this b2b with the Knicks.

I keep seeing people hoping on and off the 'tWo.' It isn't how it works.

I think the tWo flag is being burnt up more than a Lebron jersey right about now.

What can you do?

You can't control it. No one here can.

All you can do is let it happen, get drunk on draft night and cry as you watch the Bucks select Wiggins.

You just gotta love the Raptors! 8-)

It's sad. All these fools cheering on John(I hate Canada) Salmons and Kyle(I will not be on this team next year) Lowery so that the team can win more meaningless games and take us further away from a star player in the draft. Just check how many people tune into Raps games if you can actually find one on a TV station.
That's what ten plus years of the treadmill will do for you.

Celtics, Nets and Knicks will all get franchise picks. Watch it happen.

Last time this team had a franchise player he left and won somewhere else.

Tanking doesn't guarantee anything.

Winning does.

Hawks on the Nets one, but their pick is looking better now too, Horford just went down. They have like 3 good players left. I think it's harder to avoid the playoffs this year than make them.

As fans, especially raptors fans, we are incredibly short-sighted and we love to live in the moment. Its why we are fans and we are inherently not rational at all (fan is short for fanatic). Now we might revel in our wins and our high seed but two years from now when we are still a treadmill team and the players from this draft start producing and meeting their potential, then the depression and self-hatred starts.

Its a vicious cycle thats been happening since the Raptors came into existence and it won't be ending anytime soon.

At this point, winning games will only guarantee that we won't get another franchise player and future of mediocrity.

I wonder if people watching the draft will look back and say, "you know what, maybe getting swept out of the first round wasn't worth it after all"
