Tank World Order (6.0)

Moderators: 7 Footer, Morris_Shatford, niQ, Duffman100, tsherkin, Reeko, lebron stopper, DG88, HiJiNX

At 9-12 where do you stand?

Tank World Order: Hope the team continues its downward trajectory so that they can add another top lottery pick talent to the core of Barnes and OG?

Team Mediocre: Try and win at all costs this season. Playoff experience is valuable for the young players on our team. Making the playoffs, even if the play-in helps preserve our winning culture.

Team Neutral: Have not decided what direction I want the team to head. Waiting until later in the season to decide.

I could never hate on the NinjaBro since he shared that love story from his preschool days.
It was a beautiful story :(

I've been a raptor fan since the dark ages. I know what's it like to keep losing and with no free agents wanting to sign here. I've survived Raphael Araujo and I'm still here. Ain't going anywhere.

Hoffa wasn't even that long ago. Aleksandar Radojevic was Hoffa before Hoffa.

I remember vividly thinking as a kid growing up watching the post Vince/ Bosh era raptors thinking we would never win 50 games in a season. Also that we would never reach the second round of the playoffs again. Like I thought playoff success was never in the cards.

Getting hype about Joey Graham’s development and the annual Raptor in the dunk contest being the pinnacle of the season (from Moon, Demar to Ross). :lol:

Still remember the day we traded Ed Davis plus Calderon and being devastated (I knew the trade needed to be made but was still sad to see those guys go).

Or when we dropped in the Kyrie draft.

Bad times. :lol:

Btw, where are the other TWO members? Like VinBaker? Why it seems like this year is just 720, KL78192020 and me hoisting the torch (then will came aboard).

VinBaker's jinx of TWO and then prediction of drafting Scottie Barnes. Classics.

I was invited to the discord group where everyone was on but it was too time consuming tbh. It was nice to get to hear everyone's voices after a game. I was glad I got a chance to talk to throwback :(

I kinda like the slower pace and the banter on realgm compared to the discord tbh. Didn't check the discord for a while and it was gone. Must've moved and went private.

I had the invite from Vaff but the link expired before I could make an account. Never bothered asking for another link because like you I prefer realgm. I actually have Discord now for raptors and my friends and it’s not that bad. But yeah, something about this place. I’ve been reading it since the mid 2000s. This and RaptorsForum (it’s shut down now I think). Yeah I miss Throwback. He and I would have private conversations in dm’s just about random **** and life in general. Good guy. Was was stunned when the news came out.

I'm loving the wins but we should really tank for another top 5 player.

Well, it's going back to normalcy with opponents and the Raptors NOT being decimated by protocols.
