To tank or not to tank: This is the only question for this season. Official 2024-2025 Toronto Raptors thread

Already more fun than the last two combined for sure. And lol, yeah - Davion is pesky on D for sure but Cameron Payne useless on offence lol. Shows some flashes but 14/49 from three .

Need IQ back to limit him and Shead. That one play was funny to end the 3rd when Shead kept sticking his hands out to Gradey for the ball with the quarter ending but Gradey could already see Boucher was gonna be wide open and launched it to him for the easy layup. If he hands it to Shead the play dies for sure.

Yeah Davion hasn’t done much for us but he’s leading the tank strong right now lol

R.J Barrett scored 39 points tonight.

He played 36 minutes and scored 39 points/ had 9 rebounds/made 5 assists/0 steals/0 blocks/2 personal fouls

Shooting split percentages tonight:

FG%	3P%	FT%

61.9

50.0

75.0

He finally closed a game for once. He took over in the 4th quarter and led the raptors to victory. He went hard to the net, hit most of his free throws and made good shot selections.

The raps won in spite of themselves. They made too much turnovers and their ball movement/execution was sloppy again. They have now a 3-12 record in this season. They allowed more than 115 points again for the 13th time in 15 games. The only two games that they didn’t allow opposing teams 100 points or more were in back to back nba cup tournament losses against the Milwaukee bucks (99-85 loss at Milwaukee ) and the Detroit pistons (99-95 loss at home)

I wonder how much the raps could get at the deadline for Poeltl and Barrett?

Gradey got hurt last night he played hard and well but the injury bug got him :

The tank train is still rolling
Sorry gradey
Sometimes Short term pain is necessary to endure in order to have long term gain for a while

if this roster played all games esp the way poetl has been playing this year


Poetl
Barnes
Barrett
dikk
Quickley

Brown
Boucher
Agbagi
Mitchell

prob would be the 4th seed right now

 

[MikelArteta]

out of the 14 loseses 8 have been by 6 points or fewer, raps have also lost like 3 games to buzzer beaters

 

[Soldier]

Pels are so WOAT they got blowout by the raps. The Pelicans lost by 26 points. Final score: Toronto 119, New Orleans 93

The raptors get their first road win of the season tonight. And also don’t forget that Toronto won a game by 20 points for the first this year.
