What a disgrace it is that this game is still happening..didn't the NBA have a rule of a minimum of 5 regular players needed? They seem to change these rules on the fly. And of course these rules seem to always negatively affect our team.

Can we bring Dragic back? Rather see him play than a bunch of G-Leaguers.

At least the Cavaliers have a few starters and rotational guys available. We don't have a single starter. In fact, we don't really have anyone in our top seven.


We have Boucher and Yuta - key rotational players according to many on this board.

Knicks brought back Kemba after kicking him out of the rotation. There is 0 reason why Dragic isn't being brought back. The whole thing from acquiring him to now has been a 19.5M blunder.

Look, I get how badly you want to create some narrative that the raptors are never disadvantaged, it's an even playing field, that the raptors losing a game like this is somehow embarrassing on their end. But really just comes off as being incredibly petulant.

Boucher and Watanabe are deep bench guys behind players like precious and birch. Yes they are rotational pieces, but is not comparable to having Garland, Rubio, Kevin love, and other rotational players available.

I would never say our losing a game like this is embarrassing.

My point is, Cleveland is missing their stars and we are missing our stars - it's not that un-evenly matched. We can still win this game - look at what our g leaguers can do on "any given Sunday" - see Paul Watson Jr breakout game vs Orlando in Tampa (30 pts) I just posted.

There are very fine players on both sides!

We can win this!

Are we looking on the same forum? Boucher has probably been the most hated Raptor all year aside from our best player FVV.

Must lose game. Gotta get these losses in now before everyone is healthy and they try and push for the 8th seed again

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron

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.

But last season Boucher was as valuable as anyone on this team. Give him time to turn it around

Yep, we shall never forget these awful takes from some members of TwO. Some also suggested that Paul Watson was better than Norm.
