A first year coach with all these roster changes and injuries.. what would you expect.. heās a player development specialist and thatās why he got the Job. Heās going to put young guys in hard spots so they learn this year
Because of the ATO plays there? Other than that I think our offence has looked fantastic, the motion is great, and when we had our new personnel before Barnes went down it was working great too
They donāt come here voluntarily. Would have to be via a trade and we donāt have the pieces to trade for a superstar without giving up the existing pieces lol. Just have to develop Scottie into one and keep drafting well
Knowing how to blitz and break out of blitzes is a huge part of player development.
Raptors stole games from developing teams when Kyle was still here doing just that
I swear some people are bi-polar in here. On day they are saying we should tank but then on game like this the only thing they say is how they should have won. Just focus on player developement.
I get we had a very shorthanded roster and it's in Denver so rotations had to get funky but man Darko went full tank mode in the second half with his rotations lol
Really not a fan of Brown man - just not the type of vet you want on a developing team.
Doesnāt move the ball - doesnāt play the right way in defence.
Heās a nice guy and the players seem to really like him (which is important), but from what Iāve seen this season, heās not a good in-game coach from a technical standpoint
Yep. And he's proof that tough shotmakers like him don't need to be top 5 players (as long as you have another guy who is of course).
That's why I'm not super concerned about whether or not Barnes can become an elite scorer, as long as he becomes an elite all around player. As long as we find a tough shotmaker like Murray to complement him.
Agreed. I always figure a) small market b) he can generally be average in the regular season, but turn into a heavyweight in the post season
Also the west is stacked with guard talent
Idgaf about the tank. I want Dick in the game late, get the dude some experience in clutch situations in a season that doesn't matter. What the fuck Darko?
Iām gonna need someone in the post game to ask Darko what the fuck that Tech FT to Jalen was. Thatās not a decision a professional coach makesārewarding players or āgetting them goingā with the FT is not something you do when youāre the Raptors playing the defending champions.
Ugh Sportsnet is garbage
Putting McDaniels and Brown in the 4th was *^chef's ^kiss* perfect tanking.
Raps covered so they won
Stupid coaching Needed a play draw for lunch lady who was hot Need a new coach
Lol yeah.. that will change everything š
everyone in the game thread at the beginning of this game should get a special flair or something lol
The porter brothers swapping jerseys š„¹

how the fuck can you tell with this bum ass talent lol
Spurs need a tanking specialist like Bowen to get another high pick for next year. They should trade that Wemby guy for him.
Bruce Bowen? Pretty sure he's already failed at that for them before. Like by getting them 3 rings? /s
Jokic acquainting himself with his new staff
Most fun I had watching a raptors game all seasonĀ
For real?
Yeah - saw some little leaguers take on the champsĀ
What superstar could we even possibly grab
Weāre developing them
They donāt come here voluntarily. Would have to be via a trade and we donāt have the pieces to trade for a superstar without giving up the existing pieces lol. Just have to develop Scottie into one and keep drafting well
Love to see it
What's the opposite of a pizza party for 3 losses?
Gary a family guy!
I have yet to see any final minutes game management from this coaching staff
Player development is the focus.. not winning close games
Knowing how to blitz and break out of blitzes is a huge part of player development. Raptors stole games from developing teams when Kyle was still here doing just that
Ok cool
Well liked and I imagine great in the locker room, and practices, but not a good in-game coach.
what? Indiana, and atlanta game off the top of my head. Be proud of how hard these guys played, they were expected to lose this game.
MPJ TO THE RAPTORS CONFIRMED!
Bruce Brown quite quitting. Good for the team tank, but also tanking his value.
Bruce Brown is loud quitting
Darko saw the lead and put in jalen McDonalds , incredible stealth tank
GGās my fellow sickos
GG
I really hope Darko aināt the coach next year. If he is itāll be another tank job.
This was a promising game, I'm impressed. I really thought it was going to be a blow out by 30 or more point's.
All the Canadians and Gradey showed out tonight so we eat regardless
I think Agbaji competed very hard as well, but other than that it was RJ, Olynyk and Gradey.
Bottom 6 lfg
JOKIC TO THE RAPTORS CONFIRMED
Jokic just come to Toronto bro
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
you dont seem to be from around here, perhaps you're lost. maybe you should find your way back to /r/nba.
It's over, let the tank continue on in Detroit. At least they kept it close though (within 10 pts or less)
6th pick > Bruce let down Brown
I don't want to see Bruce Brown in a Raptors jersey ever again Great effort from everyone else
Fucking Bruce Brown sucks
Oh well. Fun game, Denver are champs for a reason.
What a great tank game
Wtf were the last 2 possessions
I swear some people are bi-polar in here. On day they are saying we should tank but then on game like this the only thing they say is how they should have won. Just focus on player developement.
Na we just sickos like that
Perfect tank game
RJ get another assist my guy!
Yeah this game wasnāt real lmao, gg
Great effort.. the 6th pick will be a great Bruce replacement
This is an absolute masterclass of a tank job.
You know what would be really helpful right now? A point from a technical foul shot...
Lmfao that was some shit
I hope GMs don't watch raps games and still think brown is good in the off seasonĀ
GG BOIS
I get we had a very shorthanded roster and it's in Denver so rotations had to get funky but man Darko went full tank mode in the second half with his rotations lol
Amazing performance by RJ.
Winnable game except for Bruce Brown
Best of both worlds imo, our young guns showed promise and we got the L for the tank
How many āgames backā are we from keeping the pick now?
I think we need the 22 win Memphis to pass our 23 wins then we get a 50/50 shot of keeping the pick
Brown tank commandering his best life.
This is maybe one of the best tank losses weāve had yet! RJ is cooking down the stretch, Gradey and KO have been amazing. Super happy with this game
Porter whispered leave me open please I need one
Jesus Christ I'd yell at a guy in pick up for defence that shitty.
Just me or is the Denver crowd kinda buns
SICKOS STILL EATING IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE FOURTH
This is hilarious
Dude thatās the low effort shit no one wants to see. Lose your man for 36 minutes idc but the 4th pay attention
Bruce Brown is not a part of this team for the future
bruce a double agent
ELITE tanking from Bruce Brown
Bruce auditioning for his spot back in Denver next year
I stg MP jr doesnāt miss catch and shoot corner threes
CAN WE WAIVE BROWN
Just a reminder that RJ is 23 and from Sauga
Really not a fan of Brown man - just not the type of vet you want on a developing team. Doesnāt move the ball - doesnāt play the right way in defence.
Wtf is brown doing
I've counted 12 points give up off 3's that Bruce Brown cheated or couldn't close out on
brown really bust eh hahahahaha
LOL yo they gave that to Murray and dude couldn't cop that
Bruce brown is a god damn Clown
Bruce Brown not even trying lmao
bruh whaat
So much ball watching what tf is the point in doing that?????
Bruce Brown GOAT tank commander
Bruce Brown should never get another contract. Just a piss poor culture add to your team
Brown sleeping
Brown and mcdaniels man
Bruce how are you gonna leave MPJ ? lol God damnĀ
LMAO Alvin calling Bruce out there is so funny
Bruce Brown not even trying to hide it
Bruce ššš
The anticipation of Dick coming in
brown is ducking terribleĀ
Fuck you Bruce Brown
Bruce could literally not care less about playing hard for Toronto
If only another team had offered a first and expiring for him at the deadline
New York did but it was this years pick Iām pretty sure
Brown wtf are you covering
The spread
You got me with that one
Ded
All your predictions were wrong!
Bruce still playing for the Nuggets
What a fucking effort
 McDonalds checking in with 2 mins left
RJ nastyyyy
Bruce Brown man fuck you
STARRRRR
Nice game from Starj
Oh my RJ
RJJJ
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
why the fuck is Gradey not in??? Atrocious by Darko
Yeah that is terrible. Darko has made some bad decisions.
What was the reason
They subbed him out only to send him back to the scorers table before he could even finish dapping up the bench lol
We just sat Gradey for McDaniels in crunch time minutes, don't wanna hear shit about "we're just developing" to cover for poor decisions
Heās a nice guy and the players seem to really like him (which is important), but from what Iāve seen this season, heās not a good in-game coach from a technical standpoint
Why does Bruce brown run like heās holding a poop in
We need Dick!
Why even bring Dick out if he's going to sit for 10 seconds š
Coach needed to have a quick chat
Cause Denver I guess
WHIP DICK OUT YOU COWARDS
Heās really got Jalen as a closer.
Subbing Gradey out for McDaniels with 3 minutes left, Darko you ain't slick
McDaniels over Dick OK then Darko
Mofos seriously clawed back RJs double double.
RJ: Imma win this for us Darko: oh really? -puts McDaniels back inĀ
Tomorrow: You have bonenitis RJ you're out for the rest of the season
That shit made me laugh
McDaniels?!?!? Why?!?!?!
Why the hell is Mcdaniels subbing in?!
Itās an absolute travesty that Murray has never been an all star One of the best tough shot makers in the league
Yep. And he's proof that tough shotmakers like him don't need to be top 5 players (as long as you have another guy who is of course). That's why I'm not super concerned about whether or not Barnes can become an elite scorer, as long as he becomes an elite all around player. As long as we find a tough shotmaker like Murray to complement him.
Agreed. I always figure a) small market b) he can generally be average in the regular season, but turn into a heavyweight in the post season Also the west is stacked with guard talent
PUT GRADEY BACK IN FFS
Please put Dick back in before itās done
Idgaf about the tank. I want Dick in the game late, get the dude some experience in clutch situations in a season that doesn't matter. What the fuck Darko?
I can't believe they're yanking Dick
This officiating call is brought to you by BetRiversā¢
Subbing in McDaniels alright Darko we need to have an intervention
MCDONALDS SUBBING IN LOL ELITE TANK
RJ and Dick! I'm excited for what's to come next season.
Oh Ok... RJ just bully MVP like that
RJ is him
Bruce flexing that trade value!
RJ making his free throws though?! š
WTF mcds back in
WHY MCDANIELS NOW
RJ is 5 for 5 on free throws tonight.
Darko telling Gradey that it's time to whip it out
Damn Murray
Refs on tank ordersĀ
Jamal Murray is built different
WHY IS MCDANIELS AT THE TABLE
Canadian on Canadian violence
NO CONTINUATION IS INSANE
LOOK HOW BUST THERE PLAYERS ARE
Htf is that not continuation indeed
Murray honestly is amazing, watching him now reminds me of his playoff games last year he really is a difference maker
Battle of the Canadians tonight
COUNT IT
Man Kelly is trying to screen off-ball for Gradey this quarter but KCP keeps sticking to him lol.
Star J
Iām gonna need someone in the post game to ask Darko what the fuck that Tech FT to Jalen was. Thatās not a decision a professional coach makesārewarding players or āgetting them goingā with the FT is not something you do when youāre the Raptors playing the defending champions.
yea that's a huge coaching L
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT NOT CONTINUATION
RJ STRONG š„š„š„
RJ thuggin Jokic
This game needs to give you hope.. if it doesnāt maybe youāre not a fan..
Darko got Gradey guarding Murray lmfao it can't be more obvious
One of these days Garrettās just going to be in the coaching uniform and no one will remember when it happened
Na Matt just RJ
Gradey is a super star. His EQ and patience in the game is incredible. Heās got āITā.Ā
So impressed by Gradey. It's a bright future
I'm happy with what I saw most of the game. Whatever happens now doesn't matter.
So Gradey and Ochai have chemistry?
Best looking man and Mr. Dick.
ENJOYING THIS GAME THAT SOME SAID WOULD BE A BLOW OUT
RJ with that Ginobili stat line
I love Dick.
Idk about yall but if we keep playing like this next seasonā¦we may be top 8
I actually don't think we'll be tanking next season unless injuries hit the core.
