Everything about how TNT talks about these same game parlays is awful.

Craptors got their list of excuses ready? I'll help...

1) We're playing 5 on 8!
2) Embiid bi@tchslapped and dominated our soft and weak team!
3) Gary Trent has a debilitating life threatening illness!
4) Thad Young's pinpoint outside shooting has been compromised by his injured hand!
5) "They" hate Canada!
6) Embiid and Harden are getting superstar calls (because they are superstars and we don't have any)
7) "Better than Maxey" Precious Achoo had a rare non-star performance!
8) They got more free throws! (because we fouled them nonstop)

Please add more excuses - craptors gonna need em!

Help the mods.

How do you expect mods to feel when you go and write "Craptors"?

Do you want me to move your post to the Sixers board? Or Raptors board if you want to troll them and get a 12 hour suspension.

On the GB it's called Raptors. Help the mods.

I didn't ask, Black mage did, and Embiid did not intentionally hurt Collins, he dove for a ball.

Please excuse the typo. I'll try not to let it happen again

Right, so then why are you using his name. By that claim it can be caused by any physical player.

Sent from my SM-S908E using Tapatalk

I’m using his name cause it happened to be him that did cause those injuries…I never said a thing about him doing anything intentionally.

He didn't cause the injury. It was a freak moment that was inadvertant.

Yes he did cause…not intentionally but he did cause it. Idk how you can argue that he didn’t lol

[Bruin]

Lol, no.

you just admitted that they traded 2 veterans starters for young prospects. It's not an OKC tear down but it's a rebuild

Roughly 18 months ago the Raps played in the 2nd round using a playoff rotation of Lowry/FVV/Powell/OG/Siakam/Ibaka/Gasol.

3 guys from that remain and are replaced with GTJ, Precious, Barnes, and to a lesser extent Boucher/Birch/Thad. How that is not a rebuild I will not understand.

Somehow if you rebuild and are good it does not count. Rebuilding only counts if you win 20 games and get a top 3 pick for 5 straight years

Because pretty much every single team can something similar. A year ago the Sixers were playing Simmons, Curry, Dwight Howard, and Mike Scott. All gone.

Like I've never seen a fan base more deadset on labeling normal roster turnover as a rebuild all so they can have an excuse when they lose.

RealGM crashed and I lost a longer post, but long story short:

Simmons requested a trade, Curry was traded for James Harden, and Howard/Scott were replaced by other vets like Millsap, Drummond, DeAndre, etc.

The Raptors started a rookie 82 games, started no one over the age of 27, had no vets over the age of 29 before they overachieved and grabbed Thad, told a vet in Dragic to go home and played Banton over him, force fed Precious minutes even though as a center he shot lower than 40% from the field until the New Year, etc.

Not sure what else you call a rebuild than sign and trading the best player in franchise history, not re-signing Gasol/Ibaka/Danny Green, trading Powell for a younger/inferior player in GTJ, not playing Dragic, etc. Seriously, how is that NOT a rebuild?

Not every rebuild looks like Philly's process, or whatever half the bottom feeders in the NBA do for 10 years (like the Raptors themselves did for many many years with no results).

Your first post says I hope Embiid doesn't hurt anymore of our players. Irregardless of what you meant for that to sound like it comes off as if you think that there is some malice/intent/dirtiness involved.

If that’s how you chose to interpret my post, that’s on you. I won’t be entertaining this conversation anymore cause you’ll just understand things how you choose to and that’s a waste of both of our times. Enjoy the game

Come on guys. We know the terms. Toronto did a “soft rebuild” (the 1y tank). Kept the coach and several younger pieces of the chip team. Got a top 4 pick.

Total rebuild you fire the head coach, dump all your good vets and pray for lotto balls.

Some people here don't know the difference and thinks all rebuilds are the same lmao. Some fools even think this Raps team is a finished product. Righttt

Call it whatever you want, development year, retool etc. People here just want validation from 2019 but that will never happen cause the Raps aren't the same team.

The difference between this year and last year is huge.

Last years Raptors were indeed a treadmill team with no young player that has the potential to develop into a real all star/superstar player. Unless you think OG can become one. No real franchise changers.

This year we have Barnes. Barnes by himself basically changes how we view the team moving forwards. When you land a top 4 pick in a deep draft, your view on their future changes, unless you draft badly.

This year, next year, most raptor fans are basically seeing how Barnes will develop. By year 4 of Barnes development, the whole team will probably look much different than it is today.

Embiid is a little wild when he flails not gonna lie

[PierceFan4ever]

I love Atlantic division battles. Always gets nasty at some point

[tdotrep2]

man u gotta be a proper **** to piss off OG

[YogurtProducer]

lol just go at Joel. Dude folds when anyone fights back

[Bruin]

Much better start

[eyeatoma]

He's huge, he's supposed to tone it down because he's so big? Much smaller players are "wild"when they flail. This is similar to a Shaq scenario. Too big, too strong.

Time to see if Philly will just roll or if last game was just a case of Toronto game 1s. The Toronto injuries complicate that though. Good start by the Raps here though
