2023-24 . . . Our raptors . . .

Betting is a real issue and this is head shaking. How much could be bet on the 8th man wrt prop bets and not raise red flags?

As for the team, the bench has been an issue for way too lonmg. Four starters out (the best four), what do you expect?

Now need that top 6 pick.

Usually you can bet up to $1000 . . . some were trying to bet $20K and $30K . . . lots of red flags . . .

Wow the Knicks are deep. Without two key starters. Great job by management.

Really Red Flags????? Hilarious if not so sad and not involving "our" Raptors.

BTW Nice to see RJ & Quickly on the bench yesterday. Maybe they'll be back soon.

RJ and IQ were on the bench last game too. RJ looking on the sad side. Understandable. Re the Raptors it follows from the Knicks thing earlier. That involved Darko who was only just hired at the time. This isn't a good look on the franchise. Even if nothing comes of it being in the news for items like these leads to being thought of as dysfunctional. Meanwhile the Knicks can miss two key starters and not skip a beat with significant depth.

I guess the Raps have had a good run. They'll have to hit on draft picks and maybe a free agent or two. Not holding my breath on that one.

it's an embarrassment ! much like their play. Masai is on record as saying he wanted to change the team's culture, I'm not sure this is what he meant.

A year ago , he also said he was reluctant to a rebuild, how things have changed and crumbled. Maybe it's time for a change ?

I've been saying this for a while. The honeymoon period after 2019 is over. Masai is reduced to picking up the best g leaguers out there. It killed me when they drafted Poeltl over Sabonis. Then they bring him back for a first and pay him $80m? Sorry, he's not that good. I'll stop as JG is going to get mad at me for being too negative.

We won in 2019 . . . something that I never thought I would see. I will give them a lot of slack . . . the players playing right now are not the Raptors, closer to 905. No team can play missing their 4 top players for any length of time.

It is always easy to yell rebuilt . . . how is that going for the Pistons. Their 2nd rebuilt in 10 years . . . it is not that easy. Masaii was trying not to do it but he changed his mind during the year and have re-adjusted. Still some good building blocks (I think). There is enough negative news, we have to be positive somewhere . . .

I was in New Market yesterday and courses were opening . . . so lucky.

Poeltl is the whipping boy. However the team is much better when he is on the floor. The issue is he can't shoot beyond 8' & that is an issue.

Yes Sabonis, but between 8-18 he was the second best pick.

And the Raptors hit on Siakim.

However 40+ point losses are unacceptable.

We didn't really know what was going on. We went to Toro and one of the workers told us a course open that morning (Tuesday). I can't remember which one he said. Beautiful, no snow . . .

Between the Raps and Lakers there are 17 players out or game time decisions. I recently saw an image saying Michael Jordan played 80 games in his age 40 year. Oh well.

Raps getting f’d up again.
Nvrmnd, they have the 905 2nd line on benchl on back to backs. The 905 1st line was our bench last night, so they’re starting.
Our starters from last night are on load management! Lol

Eight bodies including another G league pick up. Maybe they're not paid enough.
