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

Siakum is not clutch

Most of us knew he was trash as a number 1 after Leonard left. He can't handle clutch situations ever.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

well that was sad

 

[donghabs98]

Honestly a very fitting end for the season. Blew a huge lead, cant get any shooting and zero help from the bench.

 

[thewave]

well that was sad

Not really. It forces the rebuild and humanizes Masai who dropped the ball pretty bad this year.

 

[tmlms13]

I didn't get to watch a ton of the game but it felt like it perfectly represented the entire year in one game.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Has there ever been a more unlikable team than this one? Trent 0-5 from 3 and 1-7 overall yet played most of the 4th quarter. Anunoby wanted out. FVV never clutch, Barnes sloppy with the ball. Siakam lackadaisical. Up by 19 and they thought they could letup. Goodbye Nurse, your time is done here.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Choke artists.

It was a good run but it's time to turn the page for this franchise in the off season.

 

[al secord]

Awful decisions at the deadline led to a worst case scenario. Let's bring someone in to do a proper rebuild.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

The season ended already? When did that happen?​

When this team can’t make a free throw to save their lives.

Icon? Dude was benched in the playoffs against LeBron.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Why didn’t anyone tell that annoying screaming girl to stfu? Cause it was DeRozans daughter? In our building? That’s just pathetic.

 

[willmma]

Very Toronto of the Raptors

Gotta think big changes are coming. Even if Masai doesnt want to rebuild, he cant keep this core and expect better results. I can see a retool and a new coach coming.

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Demar's daughter had a bigger impact on a playoff game than he ever has in his career. Him being proud of her acting that way is fckn embarrassing. Cheer, boo, yell all you want. Screeching like a dying animal all game literally made this game unbearable to watch.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

You need superstars to win it all in the NBA. Three ways to acquire them: free agency, trade, or draft top 5. We ain’t getting a star using the first two (Kwahi was a once in a blue moon circumstance) and Masai refuses to admit none of our players are stars and won’t trade them so we can tank. Masai is proving to be no genius.

 

[Dr.Funk]

History makers! Hooray!

 

[DFF]

That was quick….big choke

Masai got lucky once and thought he is too smart

He can retire before everyone knows he is a buffoon

 

[Rude Dog]

Shook my head at the trade deadline. No reason to stop now.

 

[Emerica]

Well, Masai has said in the past that this team wouldn’t be caught in no man’s land. That’s exactly where we are right now. A middling team not good enough to make the playoffs but not bad enough to get a good draft pick.

Time to put his money where his mouth his this offseason.

 

[ClarkSittler]

That was an embarrassing choke job. Siakam is the anti-Leonard and FVV is no Lowry. Nurse is a good coach but he's gone and it's probably for the best.

Time to tear it all down and rebuild, this team isn't close to being a contender.

 

[1specter]

What a nightmare of a year, glad that is over. Too bad the Raps decided to play themselves completely and make deadline adds just to lose in the play in. That's literally the worst place to be in...

 

[ErnieLeafs]

I’m thankful for Nurse and what he did in helping lift us to a title, but I’ll be happy to see him leave, at this point. The way he ran everyone into the ground, his un-imaginative style. Just tired of it.

Need a new philosophy and new direction. I’m a Masai fan, but if he can’t see that we need a major makeover, He needs to be alk away, too

 

[KapG]

Lmao that trade deadline for that eh. Lmaooooooooooo

Nurse became very jaded. He’s been wanting out. I think he wanted the Lakers job immediately after we won the championship but management probably promised him an improved rosters to make another run. Roster has been subpar

Pretty much this. The more I watched this years team play, the less I wanted to. Unlikeable players is how I’d describe them too. They never looked like a team or that they had any chemistry and it seemed to get worse as the year went on. When Nurse made his comments recently about maybe being ready to make a change after 10 years with the organization I knew they were losing this game. I got the feeling all year that guys wanted out and it looks like he’s one of them. Time to blow it up and I guess hope the team itself is still Masai’s top priority. I don’t think that’s been clear the last couple years.
