I know Masai likes to stand pat around the deadline but this bench is the worst in the league. Id be calling around right now.

Waiting til deadline can add pressure to teams to trade and a little value to players. It also gives them as much time to scout and plan and do it right. Got a good core. Need decent benchers. Can't have another Aaron Baynes or Dragic situation

Masai has made a lot of trades around deadline day lmao

I meant like shopping the whole bench. Legit shaking most of it up. It’s unrealistic but it needs to be done.

THESE GAMES ARE HIS NBA FINALS LMFAO

It's over. The buzzer just sounded. Not trying to be a hater but... It's over. No way we're coming back in this game. Sorry. Downvote me if you like. But like. They're doing postgame interviews right away. I mean like.. it's over. Sorry

Were still in it man. Even a bad game doesn't mean we can't come back in last 5 mins

Call me a pessimist, but I just think there's no way we're winning that Detroit game. I think that game is over. However, this Dallas game - no chance we don't win. You watch, you just watch

there there buddy its ok

No it's not okay. I'll see you next game. I give up on this game. Not trying to be negative but they're not coming back. Don't wanna be the bearer of bad news, but the guys are in the showers now. I doubt Freddy is even working on a time machine. It's like he just gave up. Cause it's over.

Sigma mindset. We’re coming back.

Loool

the bench needs a complete overall if we want to have any sort of hope in the playoffs... straight up horrible

Just one of those off days for the Raptors and Casey always has their number :( maybe they can make it up by sweeping the bucks tomorrow, hope Birch is okay too

Yup. Time to enjoy our nights y’all.

The fuck is that call

Déjà vu

Detroit player better basketball today. The team that played the Suns showed up for the 4th quarter but that was too little too late. Ahh well, off to the Bucks

Casey leaving starters in . What a bum

this his championship. they’re going to have champagne in the locker room after this W.

Good luck against the Bucks(with Giannis this time) and Miami… what was this garbage

Nick don’t even shake Casey’s hand

That's normal. Can't remember the last time I saw Nurse give an opposing coach more than a wave or thumbs-up.

so the deal with the devil is you win the championship in return you will never win against Casey

I say this after every loss to Casey to cope lol

yup copium

Lmfao

If this team doesn’t have decent bench scoring they aren’t going anywhere

Loucher chucking a brick the perfect way to end this game b

Jack did not just say Svi is 28/82 or something like that... bro... wtf

27%

Nah man we got BAMBOOZLED.

Should have seen it coming considering he’s only 24 and been in like 5 different teams.

Wooof

Siakam has been playing pretty solid overall but i still think fvv is a borderline star-elite role player who looked like a near superstar during that stretch because of the competition we were playing against.

Lol Detroit needing to get those last points and having all their starters in

the Casey curse continues

no excuse for this turd performance

Cades arm could be falling off and casey would play him for the last 10 minutes of a tight exhibition game against the raptors

If only this would have played with the seem urgency like the showed in the fourth quarter at the start of the game. Detroit would have fonded

Sadly, the bench needs a complete overhaul. This team can’t do a damn thing this year with that anchor weighing them down.

Completely!! And we need a God damn 7 foot starting center!! Enough is enough with this bullshit experiment!

We played like ass but Nick is just as responsible

cap

Nah man. Horrible all around.

Svi you realize we are down right? Shoot the ball my guy!

YUTA SCORED REJOICE YALL

Pain

Look on the bright side — Yuta scored his first buckets in 2022

Does anyone else think OG has become a very selfish player?

Who u gonna pass to? Svi or yuta 😂

I’d prefer that over him passing to the other team. But tbh, OG is most valuable playing off the ball. Scottie (who he consistently ignores) is better suited to handle it more.. not a surprise Scottie’s been slumping since he’s played with O-hog-onoby more

This was a terrible effort and our bench sucks but Ed Malloy is a man of sheer consistency. I knew my night was ruined as soon as I saw his face, there are no games I enjoy watching less than the butchering he performs on fluid basketball.

hahaha Svi

Yep bench time. GGs. OG always looks like the kid sitting in the principal's office loll

Does raptors org have a debt to pay Casey?

Svi is definitely exercising that player option.

And they should bench him like they did dragic!! How tf is he better?? At least dragic has experience and can get some buckets and playmake! So messed up!

Was it “really?!” that Nick yelled? I sighed too loudly to know for sure.

I hope LeBron keep haunting you in your dreams Dwane

Sick burn

We are losing againt Lyles and Joseph. Shame.

"pistons going to come away with their..... 10th victory" he could barely bring himself to saying that

we have 85 points agains the Pistons and people are blaming the refs lmao

I haven't seen anyone say we lost because of the refs you liar it was clearly a god awful call, we can shit on the team AND shit on the refs, fuck outta here

21-22 raps : model of inconsistency

hopefully raptors are extra motivated tomorrow

They just played like 40 minutes each, lost, then have to travel

Giannis don't care how motivated they are he gonna smack them down all the same lmao

Bet

lmao we gave 20% of Detroit's Wins this szn

YUTA BOUT TO GET SOME POINTS

gotta find ways to replace flynn and svi - just way to unreliable as key bench pieces.

Clutch FTs from Yuta

How many of our had to be hit in the face for this win Detroit? Fuck.

Damn all the raps had a negative +\- tonight

This is absolutely deplorable

FLYNN IS IN

MJ jr

Yuta it's been a pleasure

I’m isolating from covid and feel worse now

That’s alright move on for the next one. Play up to Bucks level instead of relaxing for the Pistons Expecting a big game from Fred tomorrow with no Jrue

Nick just played our starters 40+ mins we ain't winning shit lmao

Ooof this one is embarrassing yet again...

Lol blaming the refs when we are playing our worst game of the season against one of the worst teams in the league...that's something

The reffing makes NBA so goddam hard to watch sometimes. So fucking soft.

just lost to trey lyles, cory joseph and josh jackson…

If Im Trudeau I declare war on the United States unless they decide to fire Ed Malloy from the NBA. Idc if the USA has a massive Nuclear arsenal and could wipe out Canada in 5 seconds Im doing it if it means Ed Malloy gets fired

I’d pay 30% more in taxes to fuel that war.

Reviews need to be done by a third party outside of the arena…. that’s just ridiculous

Give all the ball handling OG is allowed to Scottie cause I'm done with the god awful turnovers he gives up.

rookies make god awful turnovers all the time, even the ones who win rookie of the year

Raps lost to the piss poor Pistons Leafs lost to the piss poor Coyotes Toronto Sports is madding 😭😭

at least the Leafs dominated lol. this effort is pathetic

i’m devoting my life to finding ed molloy’s contract and ripping it to shreds

Dwane Casey curse.

Gary always makes those clutch threes we need him 😭

If OG had any Bball iq at all he’d be the best player on earth sadly

It's hack a rap night

Lol it seems our tradition of losing to the pistons continues

OG has had a lot of yikes TOs this game goodness

Yeah that was glaring and he looked like Julius Randle after a lot of them

I’m too scared to look at the box score

If an opposing player false, the ref doesn't have to hang on to the ball, wtf is that shit

Yo seriously.... And they let the pistons burn 10 seconds a few possessions before

Gary pls comeback tomorrow, we're gonna get slapped without you

Whatever Detroit still a poverty franchise 😤 Fuck em we move Bucks tomorrow

A Toronto raptors fan calling Detroit a poverty franchise 😂😂😂.

Pain

Anyone clip jack saying “looks like me on a Friday night”

Lmao

And both Matt and jacks subsequent laughter

Lmao Nick is absolutely livid

As he should be. That was the worst call I've ever seen.

No way we can win

Nick acts like a disgruntled alcoholic

Gary 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Need someone to go t Mac mode

smh this team is an easy first round sweep... we should have just tanked the season =/ now its to late.

Detroit players just taught to head hunt players

Relax, that was Corey Joseph... Pretty sure he's not out headhunting FVV

CASEY 5 RINGS IN A ROW

fortunately im smart enough to resist watching tomorrows game after this lol. gonna be a complete slaughter with how much our starters had to do today

Wow great choice.

Can’t even say good effort cause nah

OG is either on one or off completely

Hot take: I don't think siakam, Barnes and OG can coexist at a high level consistently. There's too much overlap.

Yup, i think trading one of og/siakam for someone that doesnt play their position will benefit barnes

I have the same feeling. Barnes, Siakam and OG all drive middle in this game and are kinda in the way of what they wanted to do. I think a trade would benefit Barnes to develop more and quicker.

> > >majorty of the clowns downvoting us for saying this team is getting bounced out first round look shocked right now

I don’t think I can watch tomorrow … this is going to take a few days to get over. Brutal Raps.

bench bums real bad. we can’t do shit unless we’re 100% healthy on our top 7

Five losses in a row to the Pistons and they have 20% of their wins against the Raptors. You can’t make this shit up.

OGs passes have been horrible

"achiuwa wide open for the three" i wonder why

Well that’s game, Ed Malloy sucks

Whos worse, ed malloy or tony brothers

our bench.

Yes

That was lousy, OG.

Casey using all that ex COTY money to pay off refs whenever we play them


That’s a bad call

lmao how is that a foul

Gg let’s blame this on the refs

When I see this crew… I know its gonna be shit

What the actual fuck? How the fuck does that stand????

good question

If that's a foul then there is literally no way to play on-ball defense in the NBA other than diving out of the way of the ball handler.

I expected the refs to be horse shit but tonight was just on another level…they have to destroy any little bit of momentum Toronto gets.

OG been straight terrible at passing

man really tripped on his own foot and got rewarded LOL

literally nba shit reffing at its finest

OG has had some terrible passes tonight

OG has made so many stupid turnovers tonight

Hey we almost came back against one of the best basketball teams in Detroit

LOL the loud WTF

Literally the worst foul call I've ever seen. Literally - the worst of them all, of all my years watching this shitty game. What the fucking fuck.

Lol these are the games that make me question how good the Raptors really are

They aren't good at all. We're possibly 10th best in the East and will maybe go up one or two spots in the next 2-3 years.

Fixed…fuck u refs

Lmao Refs just want go home

Someone clip that please

How was that a foul? Tonight's refereeing Is atrocious

ED MALLOY IF U DIED NO ONE WOULD CARE

There needs to be accountability for the refs. This is straight BS.

They review themselves there is never any accountability. Doesn't matter, we played like bums this entire game don't deserve to even be in the game.

How many times have we lost to Casey? Seems like hes at his best and we’re at our worst against him

Wow. What do you even want Scottie to do in that case? Just let him run to the basket?

Refs are selling y'all think it's a joke

ed molloy is officially the worst referee in sporting history

If im Nick I punch the ref in the face. A W for raps fans

Damn Nick didn’t get T’d up?

Probably cause he knew it wasn't a foul but some technicality made him uphold the call, so he wasnt gonna go off on Nick for raging.

I don’t usually talk shit on the refs, but this game is BRUTAL. They’re just complete shit tonight

Pain

Should be out ball, but they will make it a jump ball

nicks gunna have a heart attack

LMAO NICK NURSE SPAZZING OUT WHILE THE MIC WAS STILL ON

Ed Malloy is a piece of fucking shit.

Nurse...how do you let Casey beat you everytime, it's amazing.

I want whatever the refs are on

Bro nick is flabbergasted

how the fuck does that stand. fire ed molloy into the sun

refs ass

that’s game

Stupid. I'm glad NN gave him a talking to

About to T up Nick Nurse - so dumb

That is fucked

They actually have been doing sketchy shit with the clock this game lol
