People got to understand the offensive wasteland Raptor fans been living in for 2.5 years.

They way Scottie, OG, Siakam get hyped youd think the Raptors were winning at least half their games.PierceFan4ever wrote:Nobody hypes up their own players more than raptors fans

Love it. A year + of depression on the Raps board turned around in a second. This is what being a fan is all about....the huge bipolar swings.

LOL I said the same thing when I saw the subject of the thread and I'm a Raptors fan.

With our guard play over the past few years, he'd look like Curry on our squad lol.

Ya I said this is gonna be a Halliburton/Sabonis like trade where both teams get better with Quickley being the best player from the trade in a year or two. Obviously it'll be a notch or two below that talent wise.

Where was this thread after the first game? Just a bad game or too small a sample size?

And really, they generally have been right
People rolled their eyes about the raw PF out of New Mexico State, or the 3+D wing from Indiana, or the feisty undrafted Wichita State PG, etc.

To be fair he has had a great season thus far lol
Rozier should be a guy contenders try to acquire.

And yet, put them together without Kawhi and this team of "stars" was just not very good. No one said they aren't good NBA players. It's this "star is born" narrative that keeps popping up pre-maturely.

7 years straight of playoffs, ECF, 60 wins...is just not very good?
I guess 95% of the league is not very good, lol.

Uhhhh that team won on a 60-game pace in the shortened COVID season and was a shot away from the ECF. They actually were the hottest team in the NBA before the stoppage took place.
That team was actually very, very good.
Siakam has made multiple all-nba teams, FVV made an all-star game, OG was all-defence...

We're talking about the last 2 years, with the players that the poster described. Not Demar. Not Kawhi. We heard this year that Barnes/Siakam/OG are basically 3 max-level players and the team was just bad.. Last year they also had FVV, a FOURTH "star", and they were .500

Dallas had 2 max players and an MVP candidate and didnt make the playoffs last year. Fit matters. It doesnt matter if you have star level players if your team lacks the basics (guard play, shooting, C for most of the season).
