You could put the halftime interview on repeat and just use it over and over again.

"Need more effort."
"Need to compete better."

It just doesn't seem to be this team's identity.
 
Westbrook choking again. Why have him in at the end of a close game???
 
There is a nice little run! Good to see some effort.
 
Ant impressing the Raptors' brass. Keep it going Ant, maybe you and Nurk can get us Siakam with only one FRP attached, or maybe with just two?
 
What a terrible play by Nas. Dribble right up to Dame, pick it up and try to force a pass to him with Van Vleet all over him.

Toronto has been picking on Ant most the game.

Dude, us matching Ant up against guys that are 6'8"+ is not an indictment on Ant's game. What he did on those two consecutive plays shows what they need him for.

Don't you think that's exactly how Toronto wants it? A roster full of dudes who can pick on the smaller guys vs the smaller guys that the league can pick on? Dude.
 
GTJ 19 points in the game. Keon and Justise 0 minutes in the game. I don't think those were two trades that in succession worked out for us.

If we have learned anything this season, and you can look at Toronto's record for proof of this, you need balance on your roster. You need perimeter players capable of what Ant can provide and you need players with size and athleticism like the Raptors have a hundred of. Whether or not you need old school bigs is another story but Toronto has felt some pain because they don't have one.
 
See why I want to tank? What’s the point of losing 3-4 in a row, then winning 1, losing 3 in a row, the winning 2 in a row, then losing 5 in a row, then winning 1, then losing 2 in a row, etc

why ya like this shit? Hella mediocre

Agreed. Olshey was going to:
  1. Keep Trent and over pay him
  2. Trade Trent for Powell and over pay Powell
  3. Let Trent/Powell walk for nothing.
All bad outcomes.
 
that is an awful call. takes away 2 FTs if challenge is successful but it will be a jumpball

If they aren't trading FVV, then Ant doesn't make a lot of sense for them... if they are then Ant is the ideal player on a team full of well rounded, big, athletic wings.
 
Such a dumb challenge.

Yet they want to trade FVF and Trent, their two smallest dudes, more than anyone.

I'll be SHOCKED if Ant is on the Raptors next year, let alone this year.
 
AHAHAH, challenge is successful but just a different foul. HAHAHAHAHAH, that is so blazery.

Don't they have a guy who looks for stuff like that so challenges are used judiciously?

Did @AldoTrapani get scared off by Dame's record setting game. This seems like the perfect opportunity for him to tell us both that Dame is washed and he feels sorry for Dame because he deserves to be on a better team.

Naw I don’t say that shit anymore. Dame is a beast. I was letting off my frustrations on the wrong person. If anything he deserves better than this organization

Yeah, it will be surprising if Ant is on 1 specific team out of the 29 that he isn't under contract with. At the same time, the all-nba player that I think is the most likely for us to get is Siakam and I don't see us getting him without Ant being included both for talent and salary matching purposes. So again, if things go the way I think is ideal... I would be shocked but at the same time...
