Sucky loss again. Good for them in fighting back and taking over the lead with about a minute left. Felt they just needed one score to put it to bed.. but then they just kept doing dumb sh!t.
There is something mentally off with this team.. and it starts early even though they take the lead early. Can blame the refs, and they called everything.. but the way the Raps play defense it's easy to call fouls on them.
I think the Raps will figure it out and go on a nice little streak. But a few players need to play better.. it's not just on Siakam.
Few positives: Raps got into the paint quite a bit and got awarded with a lot of trips to the line themselves. That was nice. Fred had his best game of the season. Boucher has been a revelation this year too. And we don't have to play the Pelicans anymore

Aight. Out of respect I'll cut down on bullshit
I'm just saying, lol... I can recall literally dozens of times in-game when we get down and you're like, WE DONE. And so, so many of those times, they came storming right back, as is so often the case in basketball. I'm not even saying you're wrong for wanting to tank, (though I certainly don't.) I'm just noting how you, who makes pretty easily the best game threads this site has ever seen, (the jazz albums reign supreme,) exhibiting such great fandom, are also perhaps the top panicker here. lol
The rollercoaster of Raptor fandom.
I've been on the ride for a long time, as so many of us here have. Myself, I'm not ready to write my guys, these Raptors, off yet.
That said... they don't exactly look they're championship contenders at present, to put it mildly.
Hopefully they can tighten some stuff up here and put some w's together ... tough couple games ahead.

I put some of this loss on Nurse. He needed to get Thomas out there to spread the floor. NO just collapsed in on the paint every time we tried to drive leading to a lot of those turnovers. Our guards can't finish over that much size and length.

It's still early and it's still a weird year. Looks like this will be more like the bubble than pre-bubble.
A lot of the Raptors inconsistencies falls on Siakam. He plays well, the team will do a lot better. Pre-bubble Siakam is in there somewhere.

Yeah, our young core doesn’t look ready to take on the veteran leadership roles.

Hate this moratorium period for a team to wait until they are able to trade their newly signed Free Agent...
Bad Timing can sometimes change the luck of a team to get better.
After everything that happened this off season...
Pascal is the collateral damage after Masai missing on Giannis....when it is all said and done.
YIKES.

Ingram and Zion combined for 52 points...that is a solid 1-2 punch
