Dear Toronto Raptors,
Can I please get a win?
Sincerely, A fan
Losing like this is ok but I’m still salty about that clippers loss
Boucher looks so stoned
Reporters = Bron, Bron, Bron, Bron and Bron. Sigh!! You’ll do better next time Raps. Great luck.
Thought theyd be better. Guess its time to keep losing
Mogbo is suffering from what Scotty did early on in his career, too unselfish, needs to look to attack at times in order to be a threat. Also, Darko needs to work on his in-game management. Battle can't just look for 3s, if he is open for a mid-range shot, he needs to take those as well, not just pass….at some point there is such thing as overpassing. Gradey needs to work on creating some leverage on the offensive player while moving his feet on defense. IQ needs to shoot more 3s, Barrett needs to make better decisions. Also why do the Raptors slip out of every pick and Roll???
It’s ok this year will set us up for several more of success. We can live with this even for an additional year if needed. It’s worth it in the long run. Wait until raptors fans experience Vince and tmac again but with longevity
Growing pains 👏🫶
Jak needs some help. He can’t do everything by himself
Started from Bottom 😢
“Scrambling to guard very basic actions” 🤔
It simply doesn’t add up for a team of this talent to play three strong quarters only to unravel in the fourth. It feels almost as if they’re holding back intentionally, as though they’re tanking. How could a team of this caliber keep letting games slip away in the final minutes? It's hard to chalk it up to mere incompetence.
I’m seeing beautiful ball movement, a sharp defense, efficient shooting—this is a team with pride, a fighting spirit, a team that looks like it was built by Masai Ujiri to compete. Yet when the fourth quarter arrives, it’s as if a switch flips, and suddenly everything just stops.
Frankly, I don’t buy it. If I’m wrong, then it's time to panic; if they’re genuinely unable to close the fourth quarter in nine games, then I’m deeply concerned about the psychological toll this might be taking on these young athletes. Losing at this rate is simply unhealthy for a competitive athlete’s mindset—unless, perhaps, they know something we don’t as fans. I just hope they are ok and that winning is not out of their control. Losing is also not the culture of this franchise no matter how bad it got they always found a way to succeed. At least try to win the in season tournament cup since the lottery is guaranteed.
Darko is responsible. He is the head coach.. Consistently bad Culture change is good but rather have Nurse and no so good a Culture and win games.
Darko sounds like Derosan the last time the Cavs defeat Raps in the playoffs. Lebron the the best player does not explain what we are not doing well as a team Darko we are tired of your constant excuses.
I mean those rotations early in the 4th were questionable
4th quarter is the problem i dont knw why the coaches cannot solve..with davis they are leading and without davis they were smashed by the lakers..
I think this season blaming will be on the coaching stafff especially darko..players are improving but still losing and we are the worst team as of today..
Darko is full of alibis..other twams can contain lebron and he is telling the reporters they can stop him but they are leading all the way with lebron and davis in the floor..the problem hin..boucher is playing hreat but he is on the bench often and why sitting poeltl to n the 4th quater

Players ate imoroving but why is this the worst start since chanpionship. ??
Did Poeltl give Davis a taste of his own medicine? He landed the same left hand uppercut Davis used to to take out Scottie. Raps fans, I think we have a new captain
IQ & RJ decision making were terrible. The ball stuck in IQ's hands too long. The my turn your turn from both players, reminds me of their iso ball habits on the NY Knicks.
A lot of negativity but this is a pretty good team. Im gonna give darko some credit. Ive been putting money on the opponents and theyve been rightfully winning but if you watch things from the other teams perspective you can see how good this team really is. Need to work on the 4th quarter and need scottie back but …with experience weve got a solid young team. We're like a Rockets team just without some more good young players. Pretty good as Rockete are headed down the right direction. Not easy to win a NBA game
Tank tank tank, and sign a good vet former allstar type

Omg ,why is it ok for lebron to harshly throw the ball at our players,like seriously, twice now tonite and then Scotty last year,both down on the floor,assault
When training? All shots you throw should have the intention of trickling in the hoop. If not why would you waste energy on errors. None of that shit is accepted in my competing. When the opposing team elevates their attitudes, so must the Raptors, elevate their hunger to compete. Punching & Fighting is not a part of basketball. Basketball is a gentlemen's game. You wanna fight? Then tuffie come and see me alone, don't bring your friend and we'll see. I didn't want to say the latter but everyone's a tuffie until action is needed and the all talk no action is what hurts the person that was living in fantasy. I live in reality, why? because of years of just doing and not complaining. I love you you all and want you to be the greatest (you) person throughout your life(s).
Stop with the dirty plays…losers

Jak is playing like a Top 10 Bigman 💯
Losing by two points after being down what 10 points or so is nothing. Starting line ain't even present at moment. NBA policies are horse sh*t Bs, they help a few and the rest are just tossed aside and used a to fill the entertainment set. When your doing your job and not knowing or seeing what some statistics see and know. It is just sad. The example is this, that elitists give no sh*ts about no one. NBA is just another trillion dollar company. The kids enjoy, from the players to the fans to the coaches and physios and others. But the skeletons in most Pro sports are like the dark web on the internet. Stay positive. Let's Go Raptors!!!
I came for the horrible call on a "flop" dude was just standing there. I was hoping Darko would get nuts like last year.
Gradey should be putting up more shots than what we witnessed in this game..
This team is hard headed cuz we make the same mistakes every game..
Darko needs some blame as well cuz sometimes he puts lineups out there full of guys that’s not known for scoring the ball.. and that’s when teams go on these major runs against us!
