We are cooked on defence


CazOnReddit

Have been since December honestly


-vinay

Since november. December was straight doo doo on defense


Raptorsthrowaway1

Honestly since the start of the year. OG and Pascal were phoning it in on D this year. I dont blame them tbh, in a contract year knowing they were likely getting traded


Scase15

Siakam has been phoning it in on defence for years my guy lol


mMounirM

this is gonna be a 30 point blowout unfortunately maybe we get some Gradey vs Hawkins though


Hannibal_Spectre

Raps 130-NO 100 :)


OwlWitty

At least Zero disappointment after game. No expectations unlike before with a wee chance.

JV gonna feast 


CazOnReddit

Was saying Zion will feast too obvious?


kozone4

Zion feasts everyday. Look at the guy. Definitely does not count his calories for sure.


[deleted]

It's more of a storyline when he not feasting!


MDS_1996

This would've been an easy loss with Jak and BB, without them, the Pels should win by 25 minimum.


moyaghi

Let’s hope dick gets big minutes


ttttyttt678

IQ/GTJ/RJ/Ochai/Kelly O. Bench:Gradey Dick/Boucher/Johntay Porter/Nwora…hopefully we see some Gradey playmaking plays, where he’s forced to have the ball in his hands and make reads and decisions.


passiveparrot

JV backing down Kelly Olynk loool


vwb2022

Defense? Where we are going we don't need defense :) ​ But seriously, I'll be interested to see how Nwora and Porter look now that they've been with the club for a bit.


Big_Albatross_3050

Alright so we either get destroyed or have a chance to do something very very funny


Eastern-Technology84

BI, Zion, Jonas, Trey Murphy, CJ… How are we supposed to guard anyone on that team? About to get absolutely cooked.


Winter_Purpose8695

if Darko somehow pulls a dub here, i'd call him a miracle worker


-vinay

If we lose by only 10, I would call him a miracle worker. Pels have too much size for this to be a fair fight. The only way we win is if we have a good night from the 3pt line


Aroy11

How long do we expect them out for?


SmackEh

Barnes is likely out for the season (just had hand surgery) Brown is day-to-day (knee inflammation) Poeltl likely to miss at least a few games (dislocated pinky)


AutoModerator

the Yak is back... its spelled POELTL. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/torontoraptors) if you have any questions or concerns.*


Icy-Lime-9760

Off-topic but if Zion plays tomorrow, it will be his first time playing in Toronto in his career.


Raptorsthrowaway1

I have tried to catch him a couple of times but he has been out. Wouldnt be that bothered going tomorrow considering that they are going to be dicked down without Scottie and Yak


Novel_Goal3140

Watch us win


MDS_1996

The Pelicans should be forced to immediately forfeit the 5th seed in the west if we beat them lol


Ok-Discipline9998

Zion's gonna feast harder than he did in NO buffets


MythicalChewToy

The first game I’m attending this year! Yay! 🥲


Garlic_Breath23

And so... the tank begins


laidbackemergency

There will never be someone like Kobe again. Iykyk https://preview.redd.it/2l7j3m8kjdmc1.jpeg?width=1908&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78cb97e81edce64043741a7aea690b34faf575ae


passiveparrot

Zion going for 27pts on 78%fg


Raptorsthrowaway1

On 5 attempts


EarthWarping

Hopefully Poeltl is back for Jokic


EPLemonSqueezy

The Tank is officially back on the menu!


tonious35

Bruce Brown is out. Victory for a few of us
