Didn't the Raptors face a bunch of G League teams in Dec and Jan?

How the heck can there be support when the team doesn't do anything to get anyone else involved. We use our bench players as of they're iso players as well and most of the time each guy has to hunt for their own shot.


This is honestly hilarious. And one of your worst takes. How many open shots have the bench guys had? And they've all been bricks aside from one Boucher three. Watanabe has missed like what three open threes? Our main guys have set them up plenty of times. It's not their job to get them going. Bench guys are supposed to come in and provide instant offense. Hit your open shots. You trying to blame it on players like Fred and Pascal is just pathetic.

pretty sure a pg's job IS to get guys going

Milwaukee and New Orleans each missing their best player was still a better product than what the pistons have on the court right now. Rare L from you will

The teams lack of bench leads to peaks and troughs in play like this. This bench is one of the worst i have ever seen

Fred just needs to make 15 more 3s and this will be a different ball game.

That's what he's thinking.

Potential wrote:I wonder what Casey is doing right now? They're probably spending today and the entire day tomorrow to prepare for the game. I can't believe he convinced the NBA to allow him to come back early from Covid so he can face us. I already put down $500 on Pistons ML and can see an easy blowout L. I can see Nurse already looking pass this game and accepting the loss so the team can look forward to preparing for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.


Who cashed on Pistons ML? There's no guarantees in betting but today's outcome was as guaranteed as tax and death!

Personally, my top three (in NO particular order) are:

Dennis Green - after the Cardinals lost to the Bears and blew a huge lead on Monday Night Football.
Jim Mora - Playoffs (which is a certified classic :lol:)
Herm Edwards - YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME :lol: :lol: :lol:

what im realizing is the management didn't take this season seriously, neither should we. I'm gonna try to chill from here on out. Look at the bench signings... look at our bigs. its clear, the goal wasnt to compete this year, just raise player values
