Celtics always own the Raps man :sadbron:

It’s Alayna the same story-Them and the Knicks stay winning Against us , both teams always find a way .everytime TOR makes it a close game, everytime the raps get closer to them, the celts/Knicks always retake the lead right after that then they bury us with superior 3-point shooting, deeper offensive benches/lineups and offensive rebounding. Every game we keep up with them, hang around them for most of the game but when crunch time comes BOS and NYK -always pull away from the raps and their best players take over the game and beat the raps again.

Close but not that close. Fools gold smh

Scottie Barnes gonna thrive as a 2nd-3rd option somewhere, will be Aaron Gordon on steroids

Raptors as is have all the makings of a treadmill team. That core will never make them a serious team, but never bad enough to be completely unserious :francis:

Back in October -

It could be a breakout season for NAW. I wondered how he'd fit in, but he's been hella aggressive on offense in the first handful of games. He and Dyson defending on the perimeter is a nightmare for ballhandlers too.

Now he's the betting fav to win Most Improved Player.

:wow:

ATL must be doing something right that they're bringing out the best in all these players.

NAW just has that dog in him. The growth all season his been amazing to see.

Crazy motor and pest on defense. Crazy length for his finishing around the rim. Ambidextrous af. Big time shot maker, sometimes audacious. 3pt percentage shows the work.:ehh:

Exactly. We are the hawks of 2-4 years ago. Too bad to be good, but too good to be bad. Stuck in the middle, no Mans land


Yeah my raps can beat the bad teams like the pacers, Bulls and bucks with ease, be competitive against the middle of the pack teams like the hawks, Magic, Hornets, Heat and cavs, but they cant buy a win to save their lives against superior, bigger, better shooting, and deeper teams like the celts, knicks and pistons for example. We wont go far with Ingram and Barnes as our Best players. And we need wings who can defend the perimeter and Also hit 3-point shots. We are easily dead last in that department.

We need upgrade at the center position too. Postal is injury prone and getting Older, and hes not an ideal starting centre on a legit contender. And a better bench. Our current role players/substitut es aint it except Sandro Mamukashveli and Maybe Jakobe Walter.

If BOS or NYK draw TOR in the first round of the playoffs, its a easy and predictable sweep for either top team.
