Just want to express how happy I am that we finally get to watch some Raptors (ish) basketball today.

My body is ready for the Dalano Banton career highs across the box score, even the turnovers.

Blake M has said that the g league guards we called up are actually pretty good defenders. Its the half court offense that they are expected to struggle.

I'm actually looking forward to thi game and see what nurse comes up with. If he steals a game for us it would be a coach of the year type of accomplishment.


The loss against the Nets with KD and a GLeague squad would offset this.

Lets not make wild statements here.


Didn’t the Nets beat the Sixers with the same lineup the following game? Pretty sure they beat the Sixers by like 10 points.

And I’m pretty sure we have ZERO starters tonight. I think our best player is Yuta lol. It’d be a miracle if we stole this game. The Nets still had the best player in the world and a few rotation players. So yeah, not even close to being similar.


LAWL

People were saying it was an easy win.

Not enough to watch a replay of the Grey Cup or the Bears vs. Seahawks. All I have are TSN and Sportsnet Apps. I think I’m going to do some Sudoku in preparation for tonight’s game. Get my mind right.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah the kids in TwO were saying it. But anyone who watched the playoffs last year knew that if you have the best player in the world you got a chance to win. They won a game in OT against us then beat the brakes off the Sixers in the next game with the same team.

This game is far different because we have zero starters and we don’t have the best player in the world on our team.

Fun game. Hopefully it's competitive at least. But let's see how scrubs do in nurse system lmao. The sad part is we're probably gonna see more ball movement than ever.

It's just part of their misinformation campaign. Create some narrative that always has the raptors in a situation where they should win a game and then they can crap on them even harder when they lose. That then supports their apparent narrative that the team sucks. Nobody thought that game was an easy win. Brooklyn still had Kevin Durant, Patty Mills, Blake Griffin and a few other rotation pieces. Anytime you have the best player in the world, you have a chance.

Everyone knows this is going to be a beat down tonight, but the same characters are trying to make it seem like it's an even playing field. It's possible that when fully healthy, not a single player in our starting lineup tonight would see meaningful minutes. You could possibly make a case for Watanabe but that's it.

Wouldn't be surprised if we lose by 30

This is what the half capacity fans paid for. This feels like going to a grade 3 play. That is 3 hrs.

Does Dalano put himself into the ROY conversation with a 50 point game tonight?

Return to Toronto Raptors
