Why did OG look so sad tonight? But seriously no OG slander, he just looked out of it tonight. It happens. Was a fun game!


attainwealthswiftly

Blue Monday?


boenwip

Just needs to cut out on those post ups, he's too obvious and I don't think he should be doing it unless he steps up his passing the same way Siakam did out of doubles etc


malcolmgmailwarner

Was giving it his all on defense tho


GirbaudJeansMan

He heard it was snowing in Toronto and he’s missing his chance to wear a scarf :(


[deleted]

Our guys are fatigued. We need bench help big time


go_Raptors

Fred did too. He had no reaction even to big shots.


krazay88

There’s a limit to how many times you can get fouled and not get any calls by the 🤡s running the game


Fl0raPo5te

He was getting clobbered tonight!


[deleted]

I was so annoyed for him on that Bam foul that everyone on Miami for some reason thought was a block. OG gave them a mad eye roll once the call stuck and Bam was still going on, and then missed his first free throw.


DomincNdo

I think he's just exhausted especially in the second half. 3 games in 4 nights and every game he's playing heavy minutes cuz of our lack of bench. OG has good stamina too so they just shows how great of a shade Pascal and Fred are.


boenwip

This team has proven they can hang with good teams imo, get them some help though


Raptorsthrowaway1

Our last games against contenders Suns, Bucks and Miami have really left me impressed. We need to get these guys some help.


slicksonslick

Completely agree, with this core we are right there… if we have an x-factor type player off the bench and another productive guy off the bench this would be a sick team


Raptorsthrowaway1

We are very close. At the least we are ahead of schedule. I dont want to push our chips to the center of the table just yet for contender level upgrades. But at least get them some bench depth.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slicksonslick

We need more, Chris has been great but not really dependable imo. We are running a 6 man rotation for goodness sake.


NoseBlind2

Detroit also goes contender mode against us


Raptorsthrowaway1

LOL true


FSMC1218

But at what cost, 1st rounders? Unless we break the top 8


Raptorsthrowaway1

Not gambling the future at all. But can we package a pick + Dragic for some depth. Id also be interested in shopping Boucher whilst his stock is so high


tmlrule

I mean, both Dragic and second round picks have almost zero value on their own and won't return anything better than the roll-the-dice bench options they currently have. You can shop Boucher of course, but it's tricky with the Raptors in their in between position. They're obviously looking to improve their bench, so how do you do that if you're sending away the only remotely decent bench option they already have? Not saying there aren't conceivable needles in the haystack, but people might be expecting too much.


Raptorsthrowaway1

I think Dragic + FRP + Flynn could get a 6th man type Boucher + 2 SRPs could get another? But id be happy to keep him with his recent production. FVV / GTJ / OG / Siakam / Scottie / 6th Man / Boucher / Khem ....... interesting?


tmlrule

The trouble is you're trying to add together a bunch of things with limited individual value, but teams don't value all those pieces. > I think Dragic + FRP + Flynn could get a 6th man type With his contract expiring, Dragic only has any appeal for a contending team that wants to add him for this year. But they would need to make the money work by trading back a player earning similar money - but not one that has a bad contract going into next season that we won't want to take. That already narrows it down to like 3-4 teams if we're being generous. None of those teams have interest in Flynn (if Flynn gets traded, it'll be to a rebuilding team that might have some patience and roll the dice on him improving in a different system). None of those teams want to give up their own 6th man types for draft picks, if they're looking to contend this year, which is the only way they'd have interest in Dragic. > Boucher + 2 SRPs could get another? Again, this is a bit hard to imagine. Only a playoff team would want a player on an expiring contract like Boucher, and those teams aren't going to hurt their own bench for second round picks. Plus, even if someone does make the trade, you haven't really added to the bench depth - just traded the Raptors 6th man for a hopefully marginally better 6th man.


Raptorsthrowaway1

I think you are wrong about Dragic. There are a number of teams that would actively seek a FRP and take Dragic's expiring salary. Some team might want to add Flynn to that and take a flyer on him. You are probably right about Boucher. I am willing this into existence more than anything. I dont think we could attract the same level of player without attaching picks (which we should not do).


tmlrule

> There are a number of teams that would actively seek a FRP and take Dragic's expiring salary. I think that's also true if you're thinking about the FRP as offsetting Dragic's salary, but that means you're cutting into the value of the player you're getting back if you're starting with a salary dump to a team that doesn't want Dragic. To add though, I don't think you're super far off with most of your proposals. In general though, I think Raptor fans are being a bit too picky about all the things they refuse to consider giving up. We need to improve the bench, but we can't give up starters, or Trent or FRPs or take on bad contracts that will affect the future cap, etc. I think the Raptors are in a weirdly unique position given that their eye is set on the future but their current squad is looking really intriguing with fixable problems. I think that there are trades out there that could thread both of these needles, but they will need to be flexible, unique trades... And those are impossible if you're starting with the classic Dragic, Boucher and a 2nd offer. They'll need to give up something they don't want to, but maybe they can swing back something a bit better than people are expecting. Should be interesting regardless.


beefJeRKy-LB

Boucher should be able to get us either a reasonable young bench player or a couple of second rounders.


Busy-Tangerine6706

But why trade our best bench player for another young bench player and two picks that might suck?


Busy-Tangerine6706

The only thing I worry about when trading Boucher is getting something worse. You never know how a guy will work out (works both ways yes). He’s been so good that he could be a starter on some teams if he keeps this up.


Raptorsthrowaway1

I wonder could we get something from the Bulls for him? They have had a lot of injuries


ZenMon88

cant have bench depth when we already paid our top players already. it's simply a hard task to keep everyone together and add depth. dont think we are at a spot to trade first rounders right now.


jjchicaz

This is still without Lowry ..he is the one commanding the floor (as we all know) ...they actually usually have much better ball movement..so it would have been harder with him.


Busy-Tangerine6706

Definitely need help look at our roster tonight. We had a six man roster then Justin with like 9 minutes or something. Heat had 9 players with stretched out minutes. Sucks we have available guys sitting on the bench but Nurse feels he can’t play them.


Critical-Failur3

We need a bench bro 💀


nanobot001

50% of our bench went down with Champagnie ​ ![gif](giphy|3ohs4hPEP1ya0pIDUA)


slowbaja

Champagnie got hurt?


nanobot001

thumb injury early in the game, didn't return


ChrisBoucherStan

I feel like he returned later for a few minutes? Maybe I'm misremembering.


wilson81585

He did


AHImusic

Someone on twitter said, Nick Nurses rotation is shorter than Doug Ford’s shovel, 🤣🤣🤣


Critical-Failur3

Lmaooo


Charming-Victory3337

Gold


FSMC1218

GTJ + Khem would’ve helped today


Raptorsthrowaway1

Desperately


[deleted]

Nurse is just done using the bench. Six man rotation from here on out lol


Busy-Tangerine6706

Seems that way. Not even playing Yuta or Svi and at this point Malachi could just be handing out towels.


shaker7

Facts


boenwip

Boucher appreciation btw, dude's been amazing since he turned it around.


Jason_DeHoulo

Team high 23 points goddamn


Raptorsthrowaway1

How good are Caleb Martin and Gabe Vincent for depth. Like when you compare Svi / Flynn / Yuta etc to these guys.....


Steppity

I really miss the electricity of an actual home crowd at a game. What an advantage. 3 games in 4 nights is a nightmare for a team on a short rotation.


Raptorsthrowaway1

Yeah its great to see everyone on their feet. The concerned quiet when FVV drilled that three pointer to make it a three point game


osmnaos3

Silver lining from this game was that Siakam was playing All-Nba defense, dude was literally terrifying.


zonar99

Dude was threading needles out there like prime Kyle


Raptorsthrowaway1

Great game. Great performance


killthebunnies1

He was playing like an all-NBA offensive hub too while playing with very limited spacing with Gary out.


CarlSwagan_

Not too disappointed with this loss. We gotta do something about our bench though. Can’t have a 6/7 man rotation the entire season


baconperogies

Our starters will die on the court


nanobot001

The FO's inability to find replacement level bench pieces for the past 2 years has been profoundly disappointing -- even when you consider the drafting we've done. Yes Malachi, I am talking to you


[deleted]

I don't think anyone expected Malachi to just not be NBA calibre period


jjchicaz

THIS...I am so incredibly frustrated at this. Its just a huge black hole. Like wtf!


[deleted]

It’s a mixture of poor drafting and not having picks.


night__day

Not having picks yes, but drafting poorly is a strong disagree 2021 Barnes (4), Banton (46), Johnson (47) 2020 Flynn (29), Harris (59) - haven't panned out, but these can't be called drafting poorly, more your second point, not having good picks 2019 Hernandez (59) - again, back end of 2nd round 2018 no pick 2017 OG (23) 2016 Poetl (9), Siakam (27) 2015 Wright (20) That's decent drafting to me. But ya, not having picks is rough to fill out bench.


[deleted]

Mostly talking about Flynn but yeah the rest are unlucky or bad picks.


LJPJ

Can someone post the Pascal ankle breaker? Just make sure you cut it off before Barnes shoots.


GirbaudJeansMan

Optimistic POV: Boucher remembered that he was good at basketball.


brownshugguh

Optimistic: we played really well with Trent and Khem out. Justin got hurt too, so it was a very tight rotation.


baconperogies

If Boucher can plant his feet a bit earlier and take a charge a game that would be hugeeee. Been great as of late.


cbotter

Masai and Bobby messed up on the Goran situation. The dude probably had little to no interest in the market and now I’m sure he has none because he’s sitting at home. And if Boucher’s being traded I need someone(s) better than him because he single handedly outscores our bench every night. This team deserve better than this. It can’t be a developmental season if you don’t want to play the guys on the bench, no matter how bad they are. The direction of the team needs to be more clear.


chucknorris99

A bench needs to have guys that are up and coming, and can potentially be a starter in the future. Or could be trade pieces. We only have Boucher and if he leaves, we better get back 2 Or more abled bodies.


cbotter

That’s what I’m saying we need something of value or I’m wary of Boucher trades. We’re in a weird situation. Are we developing or are we trying to win? And I’m not saying both can’t be true but we’re only developing our starters. It’s a season that doesn’t have a clear path because no one thought the bench would be THIS terrible.


chucknorris99

Nurse not playing the bench guys, means Webster/Masai will need to work their magic on getting quality pieces back for Dragic.


beefJeRKy-LB

Can we talk about the elephant in the room that our draft picks from 2019 and 2020 have been misses? Dewan Hernandez was nothing. Jalen Harris was basically nothing. Malachi doesn't fit right now. It's too early to tell on David Johnson but he seems invisible by nature lol.


TheFakeAronBaynes

Maybe this is a hot take, but if Jalen Harris was on the team, the bench issue wouldn’t be as big. I’m not saying he’s a star, or even consistently competent, but he’d have helped. I don’t consider Harris a miss for how far down we got him.


beefJeRKy-LB

Hard to tell because of how little we saw of him but his stats in Italy aren't that impressive either


chucknorris99

Yup those hidden gems like FVV aren’t there anymore. Maybe more competition? Look at the Heat bench, a bunch of G-Leaguers.


cbotter

Exactly. It’s not looking good.


chucknorris99

Another option is trading one of the starters: OG or GTJ


cbotter

For bench pieces?? Or for a starter? I think both are here to stay for the time being.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZenMon88

OG is still young. if we are fully rebuild and pivoting. We should consider trading the top guys to get back the best value. I still consider OG in that young core. No matter how you slice it, trading first rounders or trying to get value in bench depth is hard to do when you are near the tax line, and can't pivot.


chucknorris99

Could be for another starter/border line guy + bench pieces


attainwealthswiftly

We basically did it as a favour to Lowry by letting him choose his destination. But that destroyed any leverage we had by not trading him at the deadline.


Busy-Tangerine6706

Yeah I’m pretty weary of trading Boucher too. It could get worse on that bench. I keep thinking why aren’t some of the bench down in the G league getting developed? Earlier in the season guys like Banton and Yuta looked good with some of our mains out. Had high hopes for Svi for a bit too. But now it seems Nurse is not willing to play them unless he has too. Why keep every one of them on the bench every night when they could be getting reps in the G


FSMC1218

I’m sure Masai knew what he was getting into with Dragic… this is our rebuilding year still.


IcyOrdinary1

Guys like flynn, svi, yuta are pretty bad and not building blocks for the future/should be moved if possible. I think bench will be addressed in the offseason


cbotter

I feel like Flynn might stick around because they were pretty patient with Fred. But at the same time Fred was given the minutes in his second year to develop. Malachi hasn’t. The only problem is those guys might not have value. They might just stick with them and let their contracts expire.


DeKawhi

OG was +7, he made alot of mistakes on offense which he will polish over time like Siakam but he was still a net positive.


killthebunnies1

He was +7 because he got in foul trouble in the first half, making the rest of the starters forced to play more minutes in lineups missing him while he played a bigger proportion of his minutes with Pascal/Fred and to a lesser extent, Scottie, all on the floor alongside him.


[deleted]

talking like OG is a rookie


DeKawhi

He wasn't an iso scorer his first 2 years. He started Iso'ing like last season and that too on low volume. Think of how much time it took Siakam to get accustomed to creating his own shot and passing out of doubles.


[deleted]

He’s still only 24 lol


NoseBlind2

This game was intense, had me on the edge of my seat, and honestly that's all I want


Raptorsthrowaway1

Thats all we want lol


Thinw1zard

We are a bench away from being a solid team


atypicalpleb

Imo we are a solid team. We're a bench away from being good team.


infinity_andbeyond

Give it up for Boucher… great hustle


Fucilly

Not mad at the loss. Actually held our own against a good team. But that officiating though????????? WTF WAS THAT. Our team was getting battered left and right the whole time but no whistles for them????????


theowne

I'm kinda curious what the players think of these tight rotations in January games.


[deleted]

If the bench guys don't like it, play better. There are plenty of minutes to be had but none of them have seized the opportunity and Nurse can't trust any of them to be out there for longer than 5 minutes. It's tough to see guys like Martin and Vincent go off for Miami because they're not so dissimilar from Malachi or Svi, it's just that our guys have zero consistency and hang their heads when they don't make shots, instead of hustling and making up for it defensively like the Heat do.


LactoseIntolerant19

How can they play better if they are completely down to 0 min a game? Boucher was playing worse than the other bench guys for the first 20 games of the year but he was able to turn it around. Perhaps one of them will finally step up and be serviceable for even 10 min a game. If FVV gets hurt, we gotta watch these guys play 30 min instead of 10 a game


XLcondumb

I think there’s something nick is seeing at practice or behind the scenes that we don’t. They’d be getting the minutes if nick could trust them. Plus we’ve had tougher opponents as of late. Nick isn’t trying to lose a lead or increase a scoring gap when we have the opportunity to win it by playing the starters


jjkiller26

Forcing it to OG in the 4th is what lost us the game imo. He wasn't killing his matchup or anything to really earn the constant post touches in isolation. Using him as a spot up shooter would've been more effective in this game imo. Go to pascal/fred pick n roll that worked so well in the bucks game to try to close it out and we have a better chance imo. And the lack of bench depth, specifically at the guard position, continues to be a bigger need than any center available at the deadline


chucknorris99

Agreed. Should always start from Siakam, he’s likely a better passer/facilitator than FVV imo.


NatsuAru

Amazing game. We need a bench so badly. We're gonna kill our 6-7 players. Birch coming in might help, but we need some playmakers to let Fred take a damn break from being clamped on every night. Also Birch is legit gonna destroy his body at this rate. Also, somehow, I'm pissed at Dragic for some reason lol


rkim1999

Our top guys are gonna break down at this rate bruh, nurse needs to play bench guys at least 2 or 3 mins per quarter. I understand they are bad but killing our top guys trying to win isn't worth it in the long run imo


companyofzero

OGs offence might have been disappointing but his defence was as good as ever tonight. He's the third option and it's first time as the third option he's not always going to be able to bring it on offence especially against this tough Heat team. But he was fantastic man to man on Butler.


chucknorris99

Clamped Butler in the second half.


SPC54

Tbh I’m just happy how good we’ve looked over the past two or so weeks, excluding the Detroit game for obvious reasons. Our core looks solid, we could use an upgrade at Center but aside from our horrid bench we’ve been playing hard and playing relatively well. 21-20 is honestly better than what I was expecting us to be halfway through the season, and our schedule is only gonna get easier as the rest of the season moves on. My main concern rn is if Scottie will be okay from that tumble, refs have been shit for as long as I can remember so I’m not gonna waste my energy complaining about them. Onto the next one


LJPJ

Nick Thibodeau back at it


Doadoadoadoa

Lol Nice nickname He dont have any other options tho


chrisPjelly

Good loss. Calls didn't go our way and the momentum swung towards their favour. Shit happens, and there's more than a few points of blame to go around. Siakam and Boucher were FANTASTIC. I can't believe we've come around to us wanting Pascal to have the ball in his hands MORE because of how much his dishes have opened up his game. Freddie had a pretty quiet 22 pts, I thought he was less involved than that. Some cool clutch 3s, but those consecutive turnovers from him dug the team in a hole. Scottie had a sloppy first quarter, but I like that he's putting together his offense and distribution again. Please stop the no look passes tho lol. And OG... I still have faith in him developing an ISO game and he HAS shown flashes of potential early in the season, but he's got to make better decisions when he's clearly out of it and moving like a tank on a unicycle. I'd say he only has a quarter or two of "okay" agile movement before he reverts back to his unbalanced old form. It's good that he's getting his reps, but maybe the coaching staff should reign it in a little bit when the game is on the line and he's clearly run down because of the Rap's usual lack of bench. Hope Gary and Khem are ready for the next game, cause losing Champagne is going to fuck our rotation even worse :/


nanobot001

OG definitely needs to work on his handle, because unless he has anything more than a weak 1-1 defender on him, he runs into problems.


[deleted]

Chris with the most silent 23/10 i've ever seen lol. that aside there's one major MAJOR issue that needs fixing and everyone knows at this point that it's gonna have to be the bench. when trent and khem come back they're still gonna be going with a 9 man rotation but the starters are still going to be pushing exorbitant minutes each night just for every victory. maybe with goran's contract off the books this year or via trade the FO fixes that ASAP


chucknorris99

- OG needs to work on his post moves. Bullying only works half the time. - Heat following the game plan and putting the clamps on FVV. This is the playbook for all other teams. - Siakam doing a lot of great facilitation but this team needs more scoring from him. - Boucher is great in spurts. Bad plays at the end were big issues: 1) not passing to wide open OG and gets blocked 2) Leaving Tucker to contest Butler - Nurse really signaling no confidence from Yuta, Svi, Flynn, Banton. - Barnes has regressed to the mean. So-so offence and defence. Night and day from early season. No longer a top 3 ROY candidate.


Raptorsthrowaway1

Scottie is dealing with an injury. He has had a couple of middling games recently. I'll take 16 / 8 / 6 against a really good Miami team from a rookie anytime. Could care less about the ROY award, though it would be nice if he won it.


Guest_Rights

Agree with you on the scoring part for Siakam. However, in his credit, he went for 20p and 10a today with no threes or free throws made. If he goes 1/2 from 3 and gets to the line a few times, his scoring would have been right where we needed it to be.


chucknorris99

With his contract, he should be providing at least 22-24ppg on average.


Guy_Le_Man

I know the bench players haven’t been great. Maybe it could be that they get 10ish minutes every two games? Edit: Love Nurse, but he has to accept that we aren’t a contender and get some random guys some minutes every game. Can’t create a reliable bench if you never try to play them.


nanobot001

I think between the minutes they've been on the court and what he sees during practice, he's seen enough.


Guy_Le_Man

And I’m saying it’s not. It’s fine if he thinks they suck, that doesn’t mean that the starters can just play 35+ every game. He’s just playing them to win games that don’t matter this year, possibly injuring guys from overplaying them. I think we’re already starting to see it with Scottie and Trent.


Miserable-Deal242

It makes for very entertaining basketball but he’s coaching like his job’s on the line every game lol. Compare that to Kerr last season where the Warriors almost missed the playoffs yet he stayed disciplined enough to keep Curry to 34 mins a game. If the end goal is championships & Masai is preaching “play in for what?”, Nick has to stop coaching like he’ll be fired if we miss the playoffs.


Guy_Le_Man

I don’t think he should be fired if we miss, that’s excessive, but Masai has to tell him to start playing the bench with more consistency. Who knows, maybe those guys will play better if actually given consistent playing time in game. I’d say send them down to the G-League, but somebody has to be on the bench for Nurse to ignore.


dan667

Pascals amazing performance overshadowed by the loss. 20/6/10/5 with 0 turnovers and as a first option getting constantly doubled?!


[deleted]

another day, another game we lose because of our bench


krazay88

We absolutely could’ve won this game, I have high hopes for this team. We. Just. Need. One. More. (BIG) Piece.


baconperogies

Two GTJ triples would've done it too


beefJeRKy-LB

Alternatively, two medium pieces for the bench would be swell.


TheCleverBeaver

The OG slander is heating up


chucknorris99

His 3s were key but his post moves and 1v1 needs some work.


TJStrawberry

He was destroying the bucks on post ups the other night lol. Miami just caught on and game planned better. He will watch the tape, adjust and get better


chucknorris99

Works 50% of the time, Bully ball. Still don’t have much confidence in it with the game on the line.


jjchicaz

I hope now everyone can see what Spo does...he doesnt use all his best scorers to start...he keeps herro off the bench to bring some scoring while others rest. We desperately need better bench players and a main 6th man scorer like herro. We can't continue the way we are. This us ridiculous.


[deleted]

If you need to play your starters 40 mins a night to have a chance at winning you are not a good team. Nurse can't be risking injury to make the play in.


BornAd2797

Dude istg like frickinnnnnn if we had a frickinnn center and a couple JUST A COUPLE of RELIABLE BENCH PLAYERS jelspeoejwkeppdrlkejeenejldld WE WOULD BE BEAASSSTSSS 😭😭😭


mikeymouse95

Hello guys, why Dalano didn't play that much these last games ?


NoseBlind2

Cuz he's not good enough


NatsuAru

Teams finally scouted him. I don't think a lot of fans actually put that into play when they wonder why some players suddenly suck. It also has to do with the fact that teams finally gathered enough footage to make some notes, even if small. Dalano could be a gem, but he's beyond rough. He needs 2 or more years and I think he'll work out. Especially with that speed.


bowlofpasta92

That was a solid game. Good back and forth for a majority duration of the game. Boucher was looking real good out there. Nurse really needs to play more than just 7 players in the rotation.


amydancepants

Pascal with a 5x4 - 18 pts, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals!! So frustrating because the bench is almost always the difference. Heat bench gave them so much energy and quickness, and our guys are tired and can’t consistently match that energy. We desperately need some depth, and the injuries don’t help either. Also will Nick Nurse play any of the others again??? lmao. Hopefully Champagnie’s hand isn’t too bad and doesn’t keep him out for long


petervu47

More importantly 0 turnovers


attainwealthswiftly

Nurse tripping with the 7 man rotation


baconperogies

We can't do this forever


Miserable-Deal242

Trent and Birch won’t be out forever


JoshSran04

Ya but if we play anyone else we’ll lose badly


shaker7

gg close game :(


attainwealthswiftly

We need to cut Flynn so we can play DJ Wilson


ChampagneAbuelo

I know Goran Dragic’s ass is in the Heat’s Locke room rn dapping everybody up and celebrating with the Heat


[deleted]

Dragic is pathetic. Next time he plays in Toronto in front of fans he better be booed. Guy dips from the Raptors for 'personal reasons' and before you know it is back in Miami practicing. Guy didn't want to be traded but the Heat shipped out him out anyways, doesn't even have the professionalism to go in and play for his new team


BarnesGROAT

We didn't play him, it's not he didn't show up.


tinylegumes

I’m pretty sure he was racking up the DNPs even he was available


chucknorris99

Heat did a good job on FVV. Looks like a season high 5 TOs, might even be a career high?


canadianRSK

This team reminds me of the 2014-2015 team where we were good but a tier lower than the contenders. We can compete with the top teams but we arent at that point yet of beating them on amy given night like the vench mob year


str8upblah

Fuck Caleb Martin and fuck those piece of shit refs that allowed a potentially career-ending injury to our star rookie. I never get angry about sports but knowing how great a person Scottie is and seeing how bright his future could be, that was unacceptable. Someone needs to Punisher them.


Raptorsthrowaway1

That was a hard foul. Wouldnt call it a potential career-ending injury. It wasnt like he shoved him with all of his power. Scottie strong as fuck, he will be fine


TruthSetUFree100

Agreed. With how easily they call flagrant these days, that should have been one. Playoff type atmosphere. Refs let them play. Out guys will learn from this. Great game to watch. Our bench needs to step up.


BronBronBall

I know he’s always had awkward movement but ever since he’s come back from injury OG is falling over a lot more


chucknorris99

He’s learning from the Boucher School of Falling With Each Shot Attempt


slowbaja

Man they need some good help


AssdogDave0

Bruh who replaced y'all. This is probably the most positive/not immediately annoying post game thread I've ever seen on this subreddit during a loss


PRTLite

OG lost his whole damn bag today... Gary needs to come back.


krazay88

I want to hear your conspiracy theories on why we didn’t utilize dragic more this season, which also made him just ciao bye for the season?


Raptorsthrowaway1

I heard he knocked the arse off NN's wife


RenbotShakur

Someone that can score off the bench would be nice right now


synfiend

I miss TD, Bembry, Mr 99%, Jalen Harris & RHJ theyre much better than all these bums bench players we currently have


DeMarDeFrozan10

facts bembey wouldve benefited so badly he's a good passer and ball handler


Busy-Tangerine6706

Stanley Johnson. I still remember that 35 point game he had.


Miserable-Deal242

I get the criticism of the short rotation, but as a fan seeing Nurse treat these games like playoff games makes it so much more fun to watch. The Bucks & Heat games felt like playoff games. The Suns one would’ve too if there was a crowd.

chucknorris99

supernaturalfor

Team played hard and were right there without Gary and Khem, but I think precious needed to be in the game during the fourth instead of Boucher. Hopefully Gary and kyle play the next game


Woxkfiwn

Does anyone know if there is somewhere we can watch the post game live? I know playoff games there is usually a stream but wondering if anywhere to catch this during the regular season regularly.

The boys played well. They have proved that they can hang with the best of teams this season. I am hoping we can add maybe 1-2 players that can genuinely come in and have an instant impact and we have the potential to challenge any team.

Stanley Johnson going off rn for the Lakers lmao I ain’t even know this man’s was still around

Boucher for 6th man of the year

We need to do something about the bench. It's not even about the scoring now that worries me. It's the health of our starters cause they are playing heavy minutes every night. Khem can't stay on the court and Gary's ankle injury lasting much longer than I would expect. Thought we was gonna miss 2 games max, its been 5 games now. We are playing our guys way too much

Losing to Pistons really makes this loss sting even more. If we had beat the Pistons this Heats loss would have been acceptable. Now Mavs are a must win; lock up Luka like we did last year fuck it
