Seriously don’t see a W during that 6 game stretch. We could be headed for an ugly 6 game losing streak and drop to 4-14

These days who knows which team can miss key players. Indy lost Olidipo for pretty much nothing, as Levart is gona be out a while. Miami on paper as good as they are haven't been playing to well even with Butler.

I don’t post much but logged in to give support to my TWO boys. It’s the smart thing to do, blow it up baby, let’s gooooooooo!!

Why be mediocre? We picked in the lottery so many times to ultimately win the championship... and it was a long period of pain. Let’s get high picks and shorten the process...

Those teams have real big men, I’d be shocked if we got more than 2 wins.

Porzingis, Bam, Sabonis, Giannis/Lopez. Good luck Boucher lol.

Especially Bam is gonna kill us. We’re gonna be forced to play Baynes :)

Yup. Winer of 7 vs 8 gets the 7th seed, 9 vs 10 play with loser going home. Loser of 7 vs 8 plays winner of 9 vs 10 for the 8th seed.

Raptors may be around .500 and have a 1st pick around #15. They just have too much depth for injuries or Covid holdouts.

Being part of the play in is literally the worst possible scenario for us. Average pick and getting exposed and swept by the nets or bucks in the first round

Do you believe RC Buford is an elite GM? What's wrong with following what he's doing right now?

The Bulls under GarPax tanked and succeeded, drafted DRose, Noah, Deng, Jimmy Butler... were those guys bad managers?

Dont worry my brothers, we must stay strong for the tank. The Raptors have shown they simply aren't very good. Against better teams with less glaring holes on their rosters it's going to be very tough to pull out wins.

The Raptors simply aren't built to shoot 50% on a high volume of 3s and Boucher will start to come down to Earth.

we are going to need to get lucky to win that top 3 picks anyways.
just like we lucked out with kawhi, we can luck out with a high pick even if we are not the worst team or something.

Imagine being excited for the 7 seed and hoping and praying your mediocre talent base which will not get any elite talent due to poor draft positioning will net you a superstar and think that the 7 seed + superstar will make you a contender :lol:
