Raptors Discussion: v97 Raptor's 2024-2025 - Training camp begins Oct. 1

[Byron Bitz]

Barnes is better than this, right? We need him to be a lot better than this.

 

[canucksfan]

The only positives so far are Shead, Grady on offense, and Boucher.

 

[Squiffy]

Tank Commander Ujiri approves of this game. Full speed ahead.

Lets be reality.

Sadly he is not.

Just scoreboard watching for me today. Cleveland’s bench really shot the ball well.

Maybe Boucher can bump his trade value with Olynyk down?

Grady needs to add some rebounding to his game over time.

Ochai needs to assert himself….this is a golden opportunity for him to do that.

Being without 3 rotation guys and two starters gonna sting for a while.

I am not yet convinced Darko is a good coach. I know we were missing some guys, but getting blown like this almost every night and winning 20 games is not good. That's Masai's plan? To get caved in every night?

20 wins yes. Caved in like that, no.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Its going to be a LOOONNNGGGG year.

At least Masai knows the assignment and will be tanking all year long.

Honestly, I think Darko should have gotten himself tossed when it became clear that the rules were different for Mitchell and Barnes.

Cant stand Darko

What makes you think it will go differently than Detroit's tank? Or Charlotte? What happened to their all supposed high picks?

 

[canucksfan]

I don't think the team will be tanking on purpose. They want to see growth with the young guys. The frustrating part is the injuries. I would like to see how they play when healthy. I don't think Darko is the right choice but the depth he has currently sucks.

Barnes and Poeltl were the most disappointing.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Sadly he is not.

Then it’s gonna be a long rebuild

 

[Byron Bitz]

I watched all our drafted and developed stars coming up and Bosh, Vince, Demar were on a whole other level than Scottie. I dont think Scottie has it in him to be ´The Guy’. We need to find our next superstar because right now he’s not on the roster.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Is VC a permanent fixture on SN broadcasts now? Or was it just a one time thing?

Derozan was 1 year older (and 1 season later in his career) when he broke out. By some measures, Scottie's season last year compares well with Demar's best seasons.

If there ever was a year to tank in, it's this year. He's a franchise changer

I read somewhere that he was going to be doing 8 broadcasts this year.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Will Dick struggle against Phili tonight? I would like to see him grab the bull by the horns as the perimeter shooter but also make some fakes and drives to the hoop.. keep teams off balance.

 

[PanniniClaus]

This has been an amazing game so far. Watching Boucher and Mogbo flying around the floor.

It wasn't pretty but a lot better effort and intensity tonight. Mogbo was fantastic. Battle hit some key shots. Glad they kept him.

Grady's defense wasn't good.

Gradey hit the bench and hit it hard..

 

[PanniniClaus]

Starters got caved in the first quarter. Let the bench loose and see if they can get back in it.
