Top 5 and we on the run - Official Offseason Raptors 2021 Season Thread
- Thread starter MikelArteta
- Start date
Same shyt I was telling my brother earlier. This motherfukker Nurse trying to run a scheme that can’t work with the guys we have available. Frankly, most of them don’t have the physical attributes or the intelligence to make it work. Every time down I just see motherfukkers missing rotations leading to wide open shots. If Chicago had hit more shots early this game would have looked like the Charlotte game.
Well that’s the thing. At least last year when we would go on droughts you could count on our scrubs to shut down the other team but there’s none of that this year so you might as well try to keep up with the scoring and give yourself a fighting chance at the end. A bad team is a bad team but no team should be going down 20+ every game—that’s just bad coaching.
Its a untalked criticism of Nurse that he cant adjust his game plan for different personnel..As a whole we do too much helping on the drive too much switching and scrambling you cant do it with guys like Watanbe,Matt Thomas,Watson and even Boucher on the floor...You gotta play man to man and be more conservative on helping...
Even with our starters back im still not a fan of the over helping schemes on the drive....We need to stay at home alot more,these ridiculous 3 point shooting nights we allow should be swaying Nurse to tone it down....

Nurse fell ass backwards into Kawhi and Gasol and everyone wants to hold him to that standard despite the lesser personnel. You can even see that he's believing his own hype the way he complains and was shytting on the players in the media earlier. Then these dikkheads put half the team into covid protocol. Nurse needs to humble himself.

Top Shotta, None Hotta!
Agreed. The amount of times I see guys helping on drives and leaving their man wide open is ridiculous. Also, I'm tired as shyt of seeing Bembry taking these shots he knows he cannot make. Dude was doing decent just driving to the rim.
Also this random guy we signed to a 10 day moves like he's in slow mo, lord help us
Norm probably stays and gets extended since Masai and Bobby love giving out extensions
If they have an eye for the future and want to tank, then they need to trade Kyle. No use in delaying the inevitable rebuild for a "feel good" story at 8th seed
I dont see anything being comfortable,this is a team at full health that started 2-8 and lost games to minny and Sacramento..Theyre gonna be cold and probably would fatigured when they come back,its not like were gonna go on some crazy winning streak...I have accepted this is a .500 team healthy and probably below .500 this year...I would deal both at the deadline if theres decent deals for them...I want a lottery pick this year.
Its the only time it would be accepted and could get away with it...and its the best time to do it in wat could be an all time great draft.
Van Vleet or Siakam doesnt excite me for the future....You know whats exciting us getting Cunningham or Jalen Green.
Even worse masai fell ass backwards into Leonard and was able to get him for 50 cents on the dollar,without that stroke of luck where would be ? Where would his legacy be ? its worth discussing right now that this team is where it is,because i am personally sick of this FO skating by on criticism because of 1 championship that we lucked out on because of flukey trade that would nevr happen again in 100 years....
Without that trade this FO has done nothing to build an actual contender.This whole trust in masai thing i do not get.
this fanbase is lemmings.

Yea before the chip happened I would tell people he did the exact same thing he did in Denver. Collect a bunch of good role players that could win a couple series but were never really taken serious as title contenders. But I guess if you keep at it long enough eventually you'll get lucky.
He left Denver in a mess...he overpaid a bunch of shytty role players like Nene and Javale McGee then bounced...
He didnt keep at it and succeed tho a disgruntled superstar became available and we stumbled into it simply because they didnt wanna deal with LA...and that stroke of luck has created this myth that hes a GOAT and indestructible....
Do fans forget the DeMarre Carroll signing ? Did we forget holding onto Casey after the Wizards sweep ? Did we forget the 2018 2nd round ? Did we forget Caboclo ? All of this has been washed away like a WWF storyline in realtime because we lucked into kawhi....
Masai is good not great at his job...1 title that happened because of some irreplaceable circumstances doesnt change that....
Im a fan of the team first,i dont stan of individual players or management...If you grade this FO based on thnis season and the decisions made its an F...
Those are the facts but if you say them ur called a hater by this dikk sucking fan base that thinks Masai and Bobby are deitys...

I give credit to them for pulling off the Kawhi trade.I give credit to them for winning a title,a championship is what it is but not all are the same...
I give more credit to the self made millionaire who built himself into a millionaire then the guy who bought a lottery ticket and won and thats what masai and bobby did,they won a lottery when they acquired KL...they didnt build a championship team.
This is why i dont give them a pass on whats happening right now.
