[Folk and Zatzman] Reasons the Raptors can turn it around
5 comments
A in depth look at the good things going for the Raptors and how their roster context has affected the core players of BI/IQ/Scottie.
(Ingram is better fit in the Darko offense than in his ISO scoring offense, and Scottie while an all star level player is not someone that should influence roster building on, they agree no one on this roster is at that calibre.)
Also, said that the season was biggest for finding the answers to some big Qs and we are getting the answers (IQ not a lead PG, Ingram being a good fit etc)
We’re third in the East!!!
We have 2 really important guys hurt.
We were never going to win the championship. Let’s have some perspective. The season is already a rousing success. Let’s get healthy and win the games we should win.
Sadly the front office of the last 5 years really doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. I’m getting 21-22 /22-23 vibes where we are mid with lots of holes and spend future assets to try and improve but not enough to move the needle. We are kind of stuck
feb 5 is the deadline. there’s time to turn things around if/when RJ gets back but Yak being in and out of the lineup every other game is a big concern without a developing bigman who can get spot minutes. mamu is more of a stretch 4 and should not play c
“Rebuilding” team and our best player is 28 years old. Unreal
