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

The thing is...Detroit isn't tanking or doing anything like that. They are the case study on why you shouldn't put all your eggs in that basket. The reality is that if Detroit had everybody, they still would struggle against the Raptors bigs (Poetl is bigger and more experienced than Duren and can basically push him around and their other bigs are 6'9 or shorter). At some point, you need size.

An Inadvertent tank. They have been collecting pieces for years.

Well... we lost the toilet bowl tonight. Barnes had a nice game.

I PVR’d it and had it on in the background while marking and Barnes was great. Mitchell drives me nuts. Hopefully Shead can take over from Mitchell at some point this year.

I really like Mogbo. Wasn’t a fan of the pick but I like his tools.

I think they will increase Shead's minutes as time goes on. Mogbo same.

I still believe Barnes can be a #1 guy on our team when they contend.

In a perfect world, I would love to see some actual attempt at roster building (ie go out and acquire someone who could play the 4 and help the team in the case where they step up to the podium at the draft and the best kids available are either PG or SG).

Pelicans are awful but they need what they should do. Nice to get contributions from multiple players. Walter was great.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I know zero about him, but I kinda hope the Raps draft Ace Bailey. Just for the name.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The NBA Cup won't be coming to Toronto.

5 game homestand. Good one going with Miami now

 

[PanniniClaus]

RJ with a huge game and they hold on for dear life to win.

They closed the game pretty badly offensively. Barnes was one assist away from a triple double.

This seems to be the way in 4th quarters.. They managed to win this one.

 

[canucksfan]

The Pacers first round pick next year might be good for the Raptors.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Anyone else think Siakam played like trash tonight?

 

[canucksfan]

Barnes had an unreal game. Raptors played really well most of the game but had a bad third quarter.

Once they get Quickley, Gradey, Brown, and Kelly back they will look really good.

There is a guy named Ace Bailey probably going top 5 in the NBA draft.

I hope he wears number 6 if the Raptors take him

 

[Suntouchable13]

The tank is dead, imo. At least for now.

Agreed. As long as Barnes and Barrett aren’t injured, this team will be around the play in spot. They’ve also played the hardest part of their schedule.
