What is?

we are too far from top 2. Doesn't matter where they land now. Just draft well and hope for internal growth.

hey, pelicans got #1 pick for zion despite only having a 6% shot at it. raps currently have a 9% chance!

[Rudy Bargnani]

A couple stats I saw on Twitter:
—at one point golden state was 21-28 in the paint.
—Because of above raps started helping off Kuminga in corner who hit 4 threes.

We learn about as much from a win over Charlotte as we do over at loss at Golden State. One thing seems clear. The world needs more Scottie. On the other hand

fred missed scottie wide open in the post and siakam wasn't ready for that pass

Offensively, the top players on this team(Siakam, Fred, Trent) play selfish basketball. Defensively, they don't play hard enough. That's why they are where they are in the standings. A lot of them are playing for stats.

You’re finally starting to get it.

“Bet on yourself” leadership and “coaching to get you paid” philosophy has affected the culture of this team.

Siakam and Fred are scorers and just wired that way. They need to start trusting their teammates more though, agreed.

Raps have no margin for error. Everything is so hard for them. Players are exhausted every fourth quarter. Again, lots of guys had good games offensively but it didn’t matter. All these things that keep losing them games point in one direction.

Did everyone see how depressed Ujiri and Webster looked at the game? Think that image says a lot.

Hard to be happy when you're losing and the media is talking about how everyone is watching the Raptors waiting to see what direction they go.

Given how many have said how important this 7 game roadtrip is, it makes it important considering both Masai and Bobby are travelling with the team and are at the games.

I think they're traveling with the team to talk to the opposing teams GMs about some trade deals. Almost everyone we play is a potential trade partner.

Yup. We are playing teams that have been rumored to be interested in OG, Fred or Gary, or Raptors shown interest in some of their players. Blazers, Suns, Grizzlies and Jazz.

Tough game. Warriors played their game perfectly and we just couldn't keep up. Lots of paint points from back door cuts that were wide open. Steph was awesome. Divencenzo was super aggressive on defense and he made things rough for our guys.

Pascal tried way too hard to manufacture points and that cost us in the end. Team looked ragged/tired. Scottie with two quick fouls hurt our plans a bit but he was solid. One of Fred's best games of the season too. Some odd turnovers for him but he's turned the corner. Sucks about OG but him getting hurt is par for course.

Tonight's game will be hard. Those guys got a workout and have to play against a rested team. Nurkic might be out so at least they won't have much of a paint presence. Of course Dame is coming off a 60 burger.

At least we get right back to it again tonight.....right?
