What the fuck just happened?
How the fuck did we winter game when we looked like rancid dog shit for most of it?
What the hell was that, Wizards?
I am utterly flabbergasted right now.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee suuuuuck.
Yes, I know we’re only 4 games into the season, but this team looks abjectly terrible.
Scottie still looks good
Gradey Dick is growing on me
Malachi has finally been given court time this season and is proving himself to not be an NBA-calibre player.
Gary off the bench doesn’t seem to work for shit
Not much else to say other than that this team’s looking like a big nothing burger.
Even if the vibes have improved compared to last season, they’re not gonna stay that way when and if this team continues to lose.
If we beat Milwaukee on Wednesday I will be very surprised.
My personal head-cannon is that our ownership is desperate for any chance at postseason ticket revenues and won’t let Masai pull the plug and re-build properly.
Not much evidence to support this thought process, beyond the fact that Ed Rogers is a cunt.
Long-winded and slightly rambling comment below on my thoughts surrounding this Raptors team, you’ve been warned.
Earlier on in the season, I remember thinking that if this roster didn’t show something promising soon they should probably get blown to kingdom come by the trade deadline.
I’m starting to think that time is actually going to come much sooner than the deadline.
Neutral fans can and probably will see this and say that the time for us to blow it up was a long time ago; and to be honest I don’t really disagree with that assessment.
More succinctly; I just feel like this roster has lost the benefit of the doubt and our FO’s refusal to change their approach with our future is delaying the inevitable at best, and actively hurting it at worst.
We’ve traded away 2 FRP’s in the last two seasons; just to get the corpse of Thad Young, and the return of Jakob Poeltl, who has been… underwhelming so far this season.
This isn’t even the worst I’ve seen this team in recent memory, but we’re however many years into a rebuild and aside from Scottie playing well, the results just aren’t there.
I’m not out on Darko as a coach yet, simply because this roster construction has proven itself to be terrible time and time again and blaming our issues on him would be idiotic.
At any rate, lots of basketball to still play this year but fuck me if it isn’t frustrating to watch this team lately.
Idk, maybe I’m being too negative ¯_(ツ)_/¯
TL;DR: This team kinda stinks and I’d really prefer for them to fix that.
