their first 3 game win streak of the season
3 wins in a row for the Raptors
their first 3 game win streak of the season
So when do we start rooting for loses again?
Their ceiling is 9th seed. As long as they lose in the play in, i'm good tbh.
Now imo. The Raptors are 7 wins ahead of the 5th worst team with 24-25 games left, so they are highly unlikely to finish with a bottom 5 record. The Grizzlies and Nets are on either side of the Raptors in the standings but both teams seem more likely to tank than try and win.
The Raptors are only 3.5 games out of a play-in spot right now. It would definitely suck for them to sneak into the playoffs by getting hot at the right time and only have to send the Spurs the #15 or #16 pick.
Thread that needle! Thread that needle!
raptors losing and memphis winning.Just when i thought the tide was turning in our favor.
Patience. Stay on target. There’s lots of time still. We need some losses and a few wins. Back and forth we go. Just relax and let the basketball gods take care of things.z
By the way, who do you guys like for this pick so far? I’m hoping for Reed Shepard.
No me. I'd rather the pick convey. I don't know too much about the middle of the first, but there are some names who could be there that seem interesting enough. The only way I would be happy with the pick not conveying is if the Spurs trade it this summer.
can he play defense?
better then branham and maybe better then tre jones.
Risky night in terms of our pick conveying. Memphis gets Portland at home while Toronto host a Golden State that's playing very well.
yup...need memphis to lose and raptors to win.
Both losing is fine
Memphis going hard for that tank..
Looks like Portland is sitting players.
And Memphis is still winning the tank battle tonight
This is the month you start seeing teams go all in the tank starting sitting older players and a lot more ankle sprains requiring good players to sit. I would be shocked if Detroit, Washington, combined win 4 more games for the remaining season.
There's a real possibility Toronto gets a lotto pick from Indy for a player they weren't willing to re-sign this summer. Their pick is only top-three protected, so the Raptors have a chance to get two top-four picks or get a top-four pick while still giving its pick to SA. If the Pacers legit disappoint, Siakam becomes a realistic target this summer, though the Spurs don't have the money to sign him outright. He's not my favorite target, but he'd be much cheaper than say Markkanen in terms of assets, and if the Spurs got a good deal on Murray, they might be able to put a "good team" around Wemby without denting their war chest too much.
Goddammit. Typically a 6-8 week recovery time for that injury. Raps might not win a game.
Might be better for that pick to come in '25 tbh.
I think it will be close regardless. They are up 6 games on Portland with 14 to go so it will be tall order to pass them. Meaning that realistically most likely they will finish either 6th or 7th, so will probably come down to a coin flip for this year.
no it wont....we need that pick deperately this draft.Any of those players in this draft would
be upgrades over our current roster.
There are a lot of players in NBA that would be an upgrade
'25 is better bc we have ours this year and it'll be the last year before hopefully 2 decades Spurs have a lottery pick
We need either Toronto or ATL's 1st next season at least
