The return of the Game. Toronto Replacement Raptors @ Clevland Cavaliers Practice squad.

Sucks that Banton and Svi didn't step up. Boucher is hard to watch.

[MixxAOR]

Bobby didn’t write a book about how he wins at everything. Bobby also didn’t coach Team Canada and lose to Czech scrubs. Karma was inevitable after that book.

I don't know man. Sounds like it just rubs you the wrong way.

Because I think the guy who assembled the fucking roster has more control than a coach. I mean this is not Mighty Ducks. You don't grab a bunch of scrubs and win.

No coach was winning with this roster against a competent team. Nurse said before the game they haven't really done anything since the last game in terms of preparations and practice. They just grabbed a bunch of g-leaguers and put a team together to play tonight.

I don't blame Bobby either. You don't really have time to scout and sign like 6 players in a week.

Speaking of the signings, DJ Wilson was pretty good. If he puts a nice string of games together, I hope they sign him for the rest of the season.

How can you complain about a GM or coach tonight. Lol. They got the team clearance 4 hours prior to game time. They haven’t practiced in 8 days. Like, what did you think was going to happen. Guys acting like Marty York.

Yeah, the title of the book did rub me the wrong way. Lack of humility... almost like Nurse was taking credit for the chip. For sure, I wasn't expecting them to win tonight, but wasn't expecting them to completely embarrass themselves either. That's one of the themes of the book.... how to win, despite long odds and whatever curves life throws at you.

Absolute farce that the game even happened. Essentially forfeited us tonight. I was shocked the spread was even 8.5. Our best player was yuta Watanabe, and 4 guys from rec leagues around America to make a bench. Lol. The fact they let this count in the standings hurts the integrity of nba regular season imo.

[grindhouse]

as good as masai has done, the lack of center for the past 2 years….

imho the experiment is over. taco fin falls embarrassed us tonight we looked like children

[Dvdvideo]

When there’s no optimism left from Dvdvideo you know these are truly dark days in Raptorland.

Lol yeah. I think they should have just postponed that game with everyone out......as much as I wanted to see some basketball a g-league team vs half an nba team was boring.

Yeah that's what we were missing, a league average big! Darn so close

They’ve got to change their protocols. You can’t pause the league every year for the foreseeable future during cold season. You also can’t have this farce. Unsustainable.

I believe they've been discussing changing it from 10 days to 5 days. Although haven't heard anything for a few days, so who knows whats going on.

Tacko? League average? Someone's full of the Christmas spirit of generosity...

[Primer]

Does Adam Silver think this is good for the league? this is a joke.

Seriously. We should have just forfeited this game and saved everyone's time. What was the fucking point? Only 4 guys on our squad were even in the NBA before this game and Cleveland had a relatively full roster. Shocker that we lose by 50.

[Primer]

Golden and Grindhouse, please hold off on criticizing the team until its actually the Raptors playing. You guys sound so ridiculous making criticisms of whatever the fuck this 7 man G League team was we just fielded. Like you think this was Nurse's and Bobby's and Masai plan? Come on guys, reality check, this was a forfeit we were forced to play so gamblers could gamble on it.

It's absurd. 4 regulars on the team. 1 is Yuta, the other is Banton. And the other 2 are garbage. They might lose by 50+ tomorrow if they dress the same lineup.

The only positive that came out last night was Yuta's play. He looked good.
