Nights like this, I get RJ off the floor. Lethargic and taking brutal shots... unacceptable number of turnovers...

Hey at least Gradey’s lighting it up like it’s a New Year’s Eve. Lets see if he can get 40 tonight.
He had a good few game stretch but has been bad recently.
I can't believe Darko went as long as he did tonight.
Mind you, they weren't winning this anyway. No answer for the Bucks bigs.

The team isn't likely to win many games if Barrett isn't contributing, especially while Barnes and Quickley are out. So they kind of need to force feed him until he gets going or proves that the early season was a fluke and this is who he is.
What the team needs though is more shooting to space the floor. If Dick and Agbaji are the only 3pt threats on the floor they're gonna get hosed like they did tonight with regularity.

Having Quickley out is a big loss for spacing the floor. Davion and Shead can’t shoot.
Pistons next game and I hope they get a win. Having too many loses in a row sucks.

It's early but he's looking like he may be our 1a option over Scottie in the long term. Very fluid with his game and can make his own shot from anywhere on the floor.
I loved seeing him attack the rim last night. If he makes that a regularity along with his perimeter shooting..No stopping him without doubling up. He also sees the floor and can dish out of that.
No Barnes and Quick and you see just how thin this team is. Plenty of effort (save for RJ the last week) but wins will be in short supply

To be fair, also no Olynyk or Brown. We'd have a solid bench if we could ever get healthy.

Raptors gotta win and win big tonight if they have any hope of advancing from group B. Big game 
Seriously, does anyone give a shit about this NBA Cup? It's probably gonna take many years before people start to really care and take this seriously.

Gradey had a rough fourth quarter. Missed his shots and also had two bug turnovers. Nice to see Barrett have a bounce back game.

Nice tanking so far by the Raptors. Keep it up. Make sure Scottie takes his time with the rehab.

RJ triple double.
Tight loss to the champs, kinda perfect.
Chris Boucher has gotta be improving his trade value.

A solid game. They played hard on a back-to-back. Nice to see RJ rebounding after struggling for a few games. They guarded Gradey well so not concerned about his play.
They would probably be in a play in position if they had a full lineup.

Raptors really going to end up getting a generational talent in Cooper Flagg. We are so back. This season is playing out to perfection, play good enough to keep the games close and interesting and end up losing. Keep this up and we’re guaranteed someone good in the draft

I just hope they do this right. Some of those streaks without a winning season of some teams really scare me. Detroit has not had a winning season in almost 10 years? They have been tanking, what happened to their high picks? High picks guarantee you shit. You need competent management. Just high picks is not enough. Masai and Bobby need to do this right so we are not stuck in the basement for a long time like Detroit or Charlotte and them other basement dwellers.
