Raptors are a team built on defense. You must think the game is played on one end.

That's what I'm trying to tell you, winning teams wouldn't want him. Unless you're elite on offense like Lou who's also an underrated playmaker, you won't see the court for winning teams if you can't defend your own shadow.
this is simply isnt true. I'd bet the Cavs would rather have Clarkson's production then whatevr JR Smith is doing right now. Raptors would be better if Clarkson replaced Powell, etc..

Another night another loss. Bigs couldn't bother to box out or rebound. The damn guards were the leading rebounds. Lopez and Ennis just plain suck. WTF happened to the 20 points a game Lopez? Luke keep strolling Ennis out there as a starter smh.

I ain't even gone lie, I can't really watch this team no more with Ball out. Just nonstop one on one and not nearly enough ball movement.

Well lets look at the bright side...



At least Julius Randle scored 16


I can praise him when he plays good and I can call him out when he sucks ass. He got his 16 points but that 1 got damn rebound is sad. And he was non existent on defense like the rest of the team.

Yeah I know...

Lets not also forget his team leading TO, probably had about 2-3 offensive fouls, and his -24...


But you know how important his stats are to some, so at least he started and led the team with 16..

Lol so this is what it felt like with Rubio?

I don't like being so reliant on a rookie. This looks like the worst team in the league by far without Lonzo....

Hell of he had a legit backup I don't think they would look that bad. I'm baffled that the FO didn't try to bring in a vet to play behind Zo. I know they looked at Rondo and Hill but it's like they have up after they couldn't get them.

They needed to make a trade because there wasn't anybody really available besides like Jarret Jack...
