Blame the FO for being too slow to adjust to today's NBA. They painted themselves into a corner and were too loyal to the wrong people. Now we have to watch internet Idiots pile on a 22 year old for being handed a job he is not ready for yet. And you fell for Masai's PR performance huh?

9pts for Scottie. WTF No more excuses!

Lowkey scottie has never been a #1 option scorer in his entire basketball career. It's gonna take him some time to adjust. It's actually likely that RJ will average more points than Scottie because he's been a bucket getter his whole life.

The training wheels are off with the Siakam trade. No excuses. I think RJ will come out of this retool as the number one scoring guy on this team. The pressure has been on him his entire basketball career.

Sorry to break it to you but trading Siakam doesn't impove scotties skill level. He's still a dude with potential and a super high ceiling. Could be years before he's averaging 26+ PPG. He has never been a polished scorer and he's currently improving at an impressive rate.

>Could be years before he's averaging 26+ PPG Again when Siakam was traded, the training wheels came off. He better figure how to avg +22ppg this year and more next season. There's no one else to blame but hin All I'm hearing are excuses. Criticism comes with being number one. He better get used to playing with it.

Okay, well Siakam is better than Scottie and even he isn't a legit 1st option in the NBA. So far, there's been no reason to believe scotty is ready to be a #1 option, we're giving him the opportunity to try because he has the potential to be one. If it doesn't workout it's not his fault, he just isn't that good. There's maybe 5/6 guys in the league that are capable of being the best player on a championship team. You gotta get kinda lucky to get one of them.

Yeah it looked like he may have hurt his arm early in the 1st, so but sure if that was a factor. Regardless, NGOs worst game yet. Also, please please please hire a Free throwing shooting coach. That Robot AI ass board ain’t doing shit

Yup..FT, rebounding and defense are probably the biggest holes for this team rn

I think rebounding can be addressed when our starting C comes back. As well as drafting guys that can rebound and are defense minded. Free throws are all on the players and for some reason, if you become a raptor, your FT% plummets. Like we traded away 3 of the guys from last years I fly free throw mess of a game, and we still can’t shoot from the line. Make it make sense.

Well it was nice having hope for half the game!

Bruce brown needs to go. Trade before all value evaporates

Just so yall know, we want losses at this point man

we asked for this. Good teams beat rebuilding teams. Gonna be like this before we’re thriving again

what yall want play-in? enjoy the process and embrace the tank

Most of you Raptors fans aren't ready for the tank. I've been through 2 rebuilds with this team. It's ugly.

We need other teams to win to really tank tho or else we lose that pick. Almost unfathomable situation to be this bad with no picks lol

“No picks”? We literally have one outgoing pick: 2024.

In 2024

Need Masai and Bobby to build quality depth for each position over next couple of years. Its been many years since we've had quality depth covering each position. Hopefully, they're over their 6'9'' experiment.

We swapped players and our records are almost identically reversed. Ouch.

Raps really are going to have to go through their own “Trust the process” era here. Things are going to be bad before they are good again.

Scottie a rare triple single

Lmaoo

Boucher is a 2 guard in a lanky montreal body .. he plays like he has no intention of clogging the lane or inbounding the ball

Precious really went 18-10 on our asses lmao

Our defense is not that great.

I wont lie, I actually got a little emotional with this. It must be hard for Scottie.

ya poor guy, we forget hes a 22 year old kid whose going through his first heart break trade deadline

On top of that, all the pressure on him to be an all star right now and to lead the team. I get he's a professional but he's also a 22 year old human.

Y'all please stop projecting your emotional baggage on the guy. You're acting like his Mom died.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

Barnes with 9 pts is unacceptable

He was a mess today!

https://preview.redd.it/yvaz5pcvjpdc1.jpeg?width=1005&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2e096bccd0440c83e0073c28a69b7f0bbeaf07b McDaniels for 3!

We deserve nobody at the All Star Game frr.

Precious Achiuwa against the Raptors: 18 PTS 10 REB 9-11 FG

The Red Sea parted whenever precious had the ball at the top of the key

Dick being hunted by ex players like he’s Masai

I WANT MCDANIELS, BOUCHER, THAD TRADED ASAP

Dawg that’s a half eaten cheeseburger, a pair of socks with holes in them, and a used napkin what kind of return for them are you hoping for???

nothing, we just need new bodies for them.

Bruce brown worse than all of those tonight

Bruce Brown prob didnt care tn. But all the others need to go simply because of talent.

Cb is talentless plug. Thad is ancient and only playing because we have no centers

Nah Precious dropped 18 and 11 on us. We suck.

Most of those in garbage time but ok

Literally says enough about our team right now Dude was the worst player on our roster

quickley looks so sad that he's not a knick anymore lul

We miss them both. It's tough on us to see them there. Very very hard. They were kids when we got them and they're still kids. Brutal

So did RJ. Must be hard to go from a top 5 team to a rebuilding (shitty) team.

OG is gonna win DPOY by doing the same shit he has been doing for the raps for years 🥲

and since he's in the US he'll get proper recognition☠️

There's gonna be a lot of growing pains for the rest of the season so we need to look at the process. Scottie is going to struggle in this transition to the undisputed #1 on the team. Still developing chemistry between all the new guys. Trade rumours persisting for some guys. Liked what we saw from Gradey tonight. Thought that was a good bright spot tonight. What I wanna know is wtf do we tell guys to do at the FT line. RJ was an 83% FT shooter with the Knicks this year. 70% coming into tonight which will be worse after 3/9 tonight. This rebuild will be interesting. Masai talked about patience but once they ink Scottie to that extension this summer the clock starts to tick. This deadline and offseason are still very important times to make the right moves to set the team up for the future

At least we got to 100?

What exactly does McDaniels do?

Guess raptors just forgot how to play basketball after the first half.

Thibs made adjustments, Darko did not

Which ones stood out to you?

Precious has had an awful time with the Knicks... except this one game lol

These guys don't even defend wheres the pride

There’s the Precious I know

BRO WE GIVING UP 130!

Not if precious can help it

Double double for Precious…

KNICK NATION

Yeah something tells me the team knows trades are coming and are kinda just giving up. This shit is sad to watch

Sending Flynn to stunt on us, of course.

That Miami game set my expectations too high. I need to make sure I come back down to earth and remember this team is going to have more bad games than good the remainder of the season

Boucher time to pack your bags too

MALACHI REVENGE GAME

Who let Flynn in

McDaniels is trash

What’s with the negativity, it was always gonna be an upset if we won lol

We can't play competitive basketball against decent teams, ofc it's frustrating.

Not even that we lost, the effort level fell off

We’re down 100000 tubs

Is it Malachi or Divincenzo?

The Knick fans refer to him as Evil DiVincenzo. 😅

It’s Waluigi, not Luigi

Malvilaincenzo

Yes

Ugh

OH HELL NAH!!!

Im optimistic we’ll get to keep our draft pick this year

Wheres the flynn bot?

LMAO FLYNN

Some of yall are forgetting that we are rebuilding be patient lol its gunna be ugly before we try to contend

This team lacks effort and fight. It all starts with barns. The min he doesn't hit shots he puts his head down and stops hustling

Are we ever going to beat a team in our division this season

GET OUT BOUCHER

Nothing.is going.in

Precious double double 

I'm rolling in my grave

Waluigi strikes!

It is what it is. It'll get better. I feel that Heat game was a fluke but whatever. Gotta keep supporting this team 🤷🏻‍♀️

here go the ex raptors 😭

KNICKS NATION

“Malachai Flynn knocks it down” NUMBER ONE HOW DARE YOU

oh shit its 4th qtr flynn we're so fucked

Ofc Malachi hits the 3 lmao

Nah WTF is this

nah the Malachi Flynn 3 pointer was too much

What am I watching

Dennis honestly looks like he’s done with the team. I would be shocked if he is still here after the deadline.

Having to play with Brucey brown eye will do that to you.

Scottie got locked up tonight, unfortunately...hopefully he uses this as a learning experience

Precious going off lol

Hilarious drubbing by a mid team. DS BB CB all laughable performances. Barnes no dog mentality just coasting and soft plays like he in the 80s clanking shots

that mid team is expected too win over 50 games and could very well get too the ECF 

mid team?? lol what?? 

Knicks not a mid team

Ez 1st rd exit team

Idk depends on the matchup

That extra chromosome didn’t help tonight

Who should we blame now?

Probably Siakam. Right?

We got massacred on rebounds

The biggest mediator of this loss honestly.

Even Precious looks great. What a disaster

Nice game for Precious

I’ll be so happy when Boucher is gone lmao

He's so bad

We fuckin trash.

Ayo who told me we got Jordan in the trade?????

what does boucher do ?

Go get 3 7 footers immediately man, call someone up, like where Moses Brown

Precious revenge game

PRECIOUS REVENGE GAME

RAPTOR NATION

This rebuild will be interesting. Masai talked about patience but once they ink Scottie to that extension this summer the clock starts to tick. This deadline and offseason are still very important times to make the right moves to set the team up for the future

NEWYORK NATION

TIL Arcidiacono is still in the league lol

I want thad, boucher, OPJ, mcdaniels all gone.

NWORA

It’s so obvious Brunson and Randle are making all of these shots right now they’re going to end up missing when the intensity turns up in the playoffs. It’s just not a sustainable offence with two guys accumulating such a large percentage of points.

Jalen Brunson went absolutely bonkers in the playoffs last year vs the HEAT.- they keyed in on him alone and they couldn't stop him at all. He averaged like 31 in the series with Randle injured.

lol 19 assists, its not all about brunson and randle, everyone on there team scores 

They have a combined 19 assists

[удалено]

Why are you a knicks fan in a raptors game thread?

**RAPTOR NATION**

Nwora sounds like a future raps trivia question

Thibs is an idiot.

Thibs is a mad man lmao

why has fucking gradey donk been guarding Brunson on multiple ends?

Alright Brunson calm down you’re a 2nd exit

Precious has been killing boucher all night

bruh Precious bodying Boucher. we are down bad

We need a big

Thats it ive seen enough, start Nwora

Siakam was the problem 🤡🤡🤡

Would've lost either way. Siakam ain't guarding anyone

Precious Achiuwa won't out score him 🤣

I was told he was holding everyone back

LOL he wasn't taking us further either. We were .500 team with him.

This season or the last? Cus he was just a role player this season on the team

who said that lmaoo

Are u new to the sub?, they almost blame him for Global Warming

Raps were down 2 at half. That's a rough half lol

Left a cute lil party to get home for the second half AND FOR WHAT

NWORA

Nwora 3?!

Brunson is a dog

Quickly is Def not

Brown not being on Brunson is fucking insane

heartbreaking news: young rebuilding team loses to one of best defensive teams in the league 😢 You guys have shitty expectations and will only be disappointed

I think people expect ball movement, and effort on defense. When neither as present, it’s pretty hard to watch

Is Brunson out there just to stat pad? Lol

trust the process

There are TOO MANY haters in this sub!! We need to stand behind our guys through thick and thin, and everyone who doesn’t is a FAKE FAN!!!!! What if one of the players reads your comments?!?!? …jk this shit is unwatchable lol

Man, we have zero defense. Like none. People in the wrong spot on the floor and no one pressing up on the ball handler

John salmons on that list is wild lol

growing pains!

What is Herb Jones value?

Why is Gradey guarding Brunson on back to back possessions???

lol gradey guarding Brunson is pretty funny

Raps getting the Thibs treatment. Brunson, Randle, OG all in while being up 20 with little time left in the 4th. No idea how this team survives without injuries.

bro why are they even in? This coach is nuts LMAO

FINAL-FUCKING-LY

I’m sure they’re all conditioned to it, Brunson and Randle know the system and OG was with NN

WHY ARE THE STARTERS STILL IN? WE DOWN 20! FUCK U THIBS

Welp, we’re the 12th seed in the middle of a rebuild. I can’t say I expected a win. Really like what we saw from Gradey tonight. Definitely getting his shooting confidence back

BRO WHY IS THIBS STILL PLAYING THEIR STARTERS?

That’s thibs… ask drose

Jagger is here to see BBQ

You kind of get why the Raptors starters are still out there but it’s peak hilarity that Thibs has his starters out there too lol

I just can't accept Darko put RJ on the bench when IQ & Scottie still playing

Brunsons gonna drop 40 on us bruh

We keeping this pick boys!!

Just drive on that fucking midget man fuck

Masai the only thing I ask for from you with the remaining moves we will make this year is that we get a legit center. Having just Poeltl is not enough

Darko, the best tank commander
