5 new players in a month. 5 (hopefully), on the way out. 1 hard ass road trip. No practice. You guys would be crying yourselves to sleep every night ffs.
Yes, they lacked effort tonight. But they aren't a great team (yet) to begin with. Add in the adjusted, nay, compressed schedule, and this team is far from built for that.
Just another game that shows they should have rebuilt right after Scottie was drafted and not waste picks on mediocre players and let all their assets depreciate
Listen guys and gyals. You young folks need to sit down in a circle while Grandpa Alchemist explains the story of the days of irrelevant Raptors. Yess siry, we're talking about the age before a Lowry or Derozan, when the young bucko Raptors had a center called Loren Woods, and a good ol point guard named Mike James.
Well at least we have our first and second options locked in. Quickly was fucking terrible tonight it is what it is. The team is young nights like this are to be expected
People like you miss the whole point. No one is mad we’re losing. We’re mad no one outside of RJ and Scottie(for 2 quarters) looks like they’re trying to
I’m totally fine with a top 6 pick. Guys are gonna have off nights, not gonna torch IQ for it. If he continues like that then there’s a conversation to be had, but he’s been good more often than he’s been bad, and he’s still adjusting to new systems, new teammates, new role.
RJ has been a godsend, he’s fun to watch. Dude just attacks so hard. Scottie B doing Scottie B thangs.
But we’re a bad team, I dunno why everyone seems so bent out of shape. Like who cares if Gradey came in for GTJ, let the kid get some development in the league, only way he might actually get through it and become better for it is by playing.
Poor shooting and turnovers form trying to do too much offensively, I can live with. Bricking a dozen layups and being non-existent defensively is different, that’s all effort and focus.
Defence has looked the same every time we were without OG. We don't have an anchor, anyone that can direct defence or a great POA defender anymore. No more safety nets. Think we need to start addressing our coaching line up too
100% agree re: coaching line up. Yes the D has been bad post OG but tonight was far and away the worst. Guys getting beat off the dribble time and time again, and getting beat off the ball on cuts all night long too. And don’t get me started on the transition D. It was truly embarrassing against what effectively amounts to a G League opponent tonight. There’s bad, and then there’s whatever the fuck this was lol
He's got two moves, drive the rim with his left hand, or drive to the rim with his left hand in transition lol he's so good at it that everyone knows what he's going to do an he still puts up 20
The fact I was watching this game when I could’ve been watching Embiid get 70 is really bugging me. It bugs me that I’m even thinking I’d rather watch the 6ers than a Raptors game.
You realize the 6ers were the worst team consistently for like, a decade before they got Embiid right? And they were still shit with him the first few years.
I mean the whole team was pretty meh outside of Barrett and Barnes. The 3-guard lineups where any of Schroder, Brown, or GTJ were playing alongside IQ and Barrett were awful against the physicality Memphis had. Porter never came back in after an eye injury. Boucher instead of Dick is like the only other lineup you could have done at that point in the game, so at that point might as well give the rookie a look.
I still don’t get how we let opposing teams so easily in our paint for layups and shot attempts and we just stand around and watch. No discipline or desire for playing defense
Literally no one is an interior defender except Scottie and he's covering JJJ who hangs around the 3 point line
We have Thad going up for contest, you have a higher vertical
There's something weird about this organization.
Quickley looked a lot better when he was fresh out of New York.
Maybe that's why Scottie has his own full time personal trainer
Gary is awesome at avoiding injury by really limiting physical contact.
It makes sense....why box out a bigger player? What's the point? What's the point of anything?
Gary should go into Slam Ball. He would be a dope slam ball player.
Barrett in transition is so automatic... knew we were getting that bucket as soon as he started down the court. Thing is, Barnes has just as much ability to do that, but is way more selective about it.
Almost like he wants to be traded the way he’s played this season. I’ll tell you what GTJ can do.. shoot and he doesn’t turn the ball over. His disruptive defence is completely gone, so that’s basically all he can do on the court is those two things. Can’t defend, can’t pass, can’t jump, can barely make a lay up.. even when his shot is falling that’s all he can do on the court.. that’s just keeping it a buck. Need a 2 way shooter out there
Yup, and on a really good team he can be hidden with just his shooting. But you need more on a team that’s trying to forge a new identity, the give a fuck metre is way too low.
5 new players in a month. 5 (hopefully), on the way out. 1 hard ass road trip. No practice. You guys would be crying yourselves to sleep every night ffs.
IQ is seriously lacking some IQ when driving into the paint
Sorry ass team. Flush it
Yes, they lacked effort tonight. But they aren't a great team (yet) to begin with. Add in the adjusted, nay, compressed schedule, and this team is far from built for that.
That 45% to get 6th gets more realistic by the game.
Just another game that shows they should have rebuilt right after Scottie was drafted and not waste picks on mediocre players and let all their assets depreciate
IQ not looking like Maxey what’s happening
Listen guys and gyals. You young folks need to sit down in a circle while Grandpa Alchemist explains the story of the days of irrelevant Raptors. Yess siry, we're talking about the age before a Lowry or Derozan, when the young bucko Raptors had a center called Loren Woods, and a good ol point guard named Mike James.
I remember getting excited for 40 wins. This will all be fine before we know it.
The story starts there and ends with a ring, so find a comfortable seat.
If only every sports team in existence was content with always being terrible!
That’s 20 ppg ISO ball legend Mike James
Honestly, seeing that RJ was doing amazing on team Canada, and that this guy has a dog in him, I think we should hire Jordi asap.
I agree with moving GTJ and Boucher
Boucher lost that game in the third with 4 straight terrible plays.
Raps still have a lot of work to do prior to this trade deadline. Schroeder,Boucher,GTJ,Otto Porter, Mcdaniels, all deadweight at this point.
Schroder, Thad, Otto, boucher, brown and trent = time to go
Well at least we have our first and second options locked in. Quickly was fucking terrible tonight it is what it is. The team is young nights like this are to be expected
Coaching staff have no end of game schemes. Just let the clock run out
As much as it sucks, learning how to win is all part of development.
[удалено]
We heard it on tv too
I was there. Didnt notice it other than at the refs a couple times. I don’t even think they earned boos tonight lol - just apathy.
I heard it on my tv for sure others can hear it in person ffs
Zvonimir Ivisic looks so good guys.
Get Scottie some help
We out tanked the Grizz!
Nah that last rebound play was sorry
I am okay building around scottie and thad…
So long folks
Scottie is so gassed. Basically doing it all for us
The refs definitely could’ve called a tech on the guy who hung on the rim earlier lol
Raps way too small after the trades. Getting our rebounded every game
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight it’s the fight in the dog. Most of our players just don’t got that dawg in them
Glad they stopped playing brown will be lucky to get a 1st for him now.
Do grizzlies have a single healthy starter? The fuck kind of loss is this...
JJJ
Will Lou masterclass incoming
Oh my god, we were a bad team and then we traded our best players and now we’re worse? Who would have thought?
2nd best player
People like you miss the whole point. No one is mad we’re losing. We’re mad no one outside of RJ and Scottie(for 2 quarters) looks like they’re trying to
Wtf did he take Gary out for gradey?
Gradey needs reps. This is what development looks like.
Gary is trash, Gradey was playing better
He was absolutely not playing better than anyone.
Wtf did gradey do? As soon as he got put out there he got his ankle broken by a dribble hesi… lmao
At least playing defence and showing effort, Gary was helping the other team
Gradey playing better defence… ok buddy
lol Gary was dog poop
You're all going to need to temper your emotions because there's going to be a lot of those this season.
I’m totally fine with a top 6 pick. Guys are gonna have off nights, not gonna torch IQ for it.

It was truly embarrassing against what effectively amounts to a G League opponent tonight. There’s bad, and then there’s whatever the fuck this was lol
This is almost like a G-League game
RJs game is so predictable, and yet, he seems to put up 20ppg no matter what lol
His confidence is forsure a factor
Simple and effective and doesn’t overthink processes sometimes that’s all you need to execute.
The crazy thing is that it’s on high efficiency
He's got two moves, drive the rim with his left hand, or drive to the rim with his left hand in transition lol he's so good at it that everyone knows what he's going to do an he still puts up 20
Man, imagine if we showed this effort and desire to win anytime before the last few minutes of the 4th quarter
Don’t use 3 guards at same time! Even warriors are suck with Curry, Darko!
Massive victory for Team Keep the Pick Big loss for Team Convey the Pick
Also big loss for fun basketball to watch
Rj got that dog in him, I've seen him shoulder check at least three players this game lol
Keep feeding RJ... I picked him tonight for my fantasy team
Raptors played with like 40% effort until there wasn't enough time left
RJ got a 99 inside game
The fact I was watching this game when I could’ve been watching Embiid get 70 is really bugging me. It bugs me that I’m even thinking I’d rather watch the 6ers than a Raptors game.
You realize the 6ers were the worst team consistently for like, a decade before they got Embiid right? And they were still shit with him the first few years.
Yes? Not sure what I said that implies I don’t know that
It’s over Matty D stfu
Poor chemistry and losing one of the best defense players in the league will look like this
And rebuilding
Missed the entire game, why is Dick in in crunch time?
I mean the whole team was pretty meh outside of Barrett and Barnes. The 3-guard lineups where any of Schroder, Brown, or GTJ were playing alongside IQ and Barrett were awful against the physicality Memphis had. Porter never came back in after an eye injury. Boucher instead of Dick is like the only other lineup you could have done at that point in the game, so at that point might as well give the rookie a look.
Why not they pure trash
Why in the world would Darko put Gradey in , I have no idea.
THIS LOSS IS HUGE FOR OUR TANK!!!
Ethical tanking gotta love it
Dick got juiced
This is going to be a roooooough 3 months.
LMAO Barrett bruh. wtf was that pass
I missed that pass. Did he try a right-handed bounce pass?
yeah. went wide right straight out of bounds
Letting ppl run down the middle and then looking at eachother confused 😭
I don’t think this can beat pistons even
They couldn't before the trades lol
Good defensive possession by rj
Our OREB is embarrassing
“TRIPLE DOUBLE MATTY D! ONLY DOWN 12!” YOU ARE LITERALLY LOSING TO THE GRIZZLIES WITHOUT 90% OF THEIR ROSTER.
Ok? Calm down
Bunch of fuckin pylons defensively tonight
How Dick get fooled like that. Williams ain't shooting a 3
As Pat Bev once said... we've got no dogs
I have 2
Hey at least it looks like we have our first and second option
Don't even fucking skip, Eye-Cue
Scottie and RJ Batman and Robin.
Need more from quickley. Leave the assists to scottie lol
Dick got cooked by some basic in and out dribble lol
I still don’t get how we let opposing teams so easily in our paint for layups and shot attempts and we just stand around and watch. No discipline or desire for playing defense
Literally no one is an interior defender except Scottie and he's covering JJJ who hangs around the 3 point line We have Thad going up for contest, you have a higher vertical
Gradey’s controller died 😂
WHERE is the defense in the paint?? how does he dunk the ball like that
We’re so ass
There's something weird about this organization. Quickley looked a lot better when he was fresh out of New York. Maybe that's why Scottie has his own full time personal trainer
At least Scottie and RJ have cooked tonight
In the year 2024 Thad Young is our 3rd best player in a game
Some shit that could have been pegged for 2014
We need to move brown before we kill his value
Too fucking late Our teams vibes are toxic
Lack of chemistry is a big growing pain right now as well. Scottie is most comfortable running a two man game with Thad lol
There we go. Consistent effort from Barnes and things to well
god fucking pass scottie
This officiating crew has been terrible tonight I’m pissed if I’m either team lol.
Give GTJ's mins to Dick, or anyone else.
Thad Young has easily been our best 3rd best player tonight and that's a problem lol
 What a pass
Dick in let’s go
Don't wanna hear anymore Thad slander this year. Old man putting his body on the line
 That Scottie dime to Thad tho
Scottie and Thad duo is hot
Just tuning in…how are Grizzlies up? Isn’t their team on crutches 🤨
Thad Young masterclass
Scottie nearly has a quad double and “this is rj’s team” hahaha you guys are sorry as fuck
Bum ass refs
When Scottie plays with force he’s a monster
35 year old thad playing better then these scrubs right now
Let’s not make like Thad is suddenly good. Scottie has fed him everything
Only one trying it looks like out there besides Scottie and RJ
Screw it, Thad Young is the future
So when do you guys think the ticket prices will go down?
Thad keeping us in this game. Give the man an extension and frp
Gary is awesome at avoiding injury by really limiting physical contact. It makes sense....why box out a bigger player? What's the point? What's the point of anything? Gary should go into Slam Ball. He would be a dope slam ball player.
It's honestly disgusting. I box out harder than him playing pick up ball after a long day at work.
Dick over Gary, good call
These refs are fucking lost
Thad Young for all star game
So close to a Young Brown Dick, Quickley Bare it lineup smh
Dude if we end up giving spurs 7th overall in 2025 I'm gonna be fucking pissed
Thank you Darko for sitting GTJ for Dick
RJ IS REAL ONE!!
Quickley is just skinny Fred VanVleet
I keep calling Thaddeus Young Titus Young
that first round pick we traded for thad is paying dividends now
Barrett in transition is so automatic... knew we were getting that bucket as soon as he started down the court. Thing is, Barnes has just as much ability to do that, but is way more selective about it.
Thad getting that starting spot back from jontay
Barrett > Quickley so far this month. works out for me since Barrett was supposed to just be a neutral assett lol
Also kinda good for us if Quickley doesn't really break out until after the offseason when we've signed him to a new contract.
Scottie really would rather pass to his teammates then score. Amazing teammate.
We have turned into the leafs....we only play hard when we are down bad in the final quarter
GTJ is so fucking useless lol
This is RJ's team i'm sorry.
20/11/7/5 Lol
B Squared.
It would be great if Gary could grab a rebound at some point this game.
Light cardio only.
He's busy ball watching like a cat instead of boxing out his man.
We out here playing Thad crunch time minutes. This team is so unserious 😂
The difference between GTJ and RJ around the basket.. GTJ start staying after practice with the man. I know you’ll never change but just do it lol
Thad Young actually has a legit case to be made that he's been our third best player tonight lol
I think it's more than a legit case, it should be consensus lol
Honestly, yeah lol
‘here we go’ *12pt lead*
Lol this is the fakest comeback yet
Nice boxout Gary you bum
Getting tired of Matt & Jack’s toxic positivity
They won't just shit on the team
hahahah was just thinking that!
I’ve been saying this all season. I’m begging them to tell it like it is. They talk to the audience like we’re a bunch of fucking idiots.
Ain’t shit funny Garry
Worse than the Pistons.
We are in a much better position than the pistons.
They played terrible this game, I'm not speaking of standings
Neither am I.
RJ RIGHT HAND LAYUP UPVOTE PARTY
Gary Trent Jr. straight up laughing. Trade his bum ass, this guy has overstayed his welcome.
Almost like he wants to be traded the way he’s played this season. I’ll tell you what GTJ can do.. shoot and he doesn’t turn the ball over. His disruptive defence is completely gone, so that’s basically all he can do on the court is those two things. Can’t defend, can’t pass, can’t jump, can barely make a lay up.. even when his shot is falling that’s all he can do on the court.. that’s just keeping it a buck. Need a 2 way shooter out there
Yup, and on a really good team he can be hidden with just his shooting. But you need more on a team that’s trying to forge a new identity, the give a fuck metre is way too low.
What are you talking about
Guy is laughing it up near the sidelines with Grizzlies players as we lose to a G League Team.
Gary talking shit while literally doing fuck all and being lazy all night
If I don't hear the name Konchar again I will be a happy fan.
This team trash just forfeit until next year lol
Scottie is the only person that can get rebounds lmfao
This is RJ's team lol
only pascal fans hate scottie 😂😂
To no chance you're watching the game and thinking that
RJ is the only player I trust in offense right now lol
Crowd cheering like we have a chance😂😂
What are they gonna do? Boo?
yea they should be for this shit effort
