IQ, RJ and Dick looked good.

Keep the Ls coming

I’m seeing good development in players who will actually be raptors next season

Team style of play and concepts are beginning to show. It’s a fun style of basketball but still lacking overall talent to truly appreciate it.

Given what Darko is working with I’m going to give him his flowers. Once you realize wins aren’t the priority, you can see there is a method to the madness.

The important takeaway. Everything else is ancillary and perhaps even irrelevant outside of the loss which we needed.

RJ/IQ seem poised to have big years next season, hopefully they can stay healthy.

Otherwise, the FO have to pretty much build an entire bench from scratch this offseason. They got some work to do. Brown/Nwora haven't worked out and we'll see on if Ochai makes it, but I'm not sure that he will.

I'm excited to see this next season. Add a solid backup big in Kelly-O and Ochai...that's 7 guys we trust. Need another 4 guys we can rely on and some young talent to develop.

Yeah, I'm not really convinced on Ochai yet. He's really gotta work on his shot if he wants to stick. Crazy that he still feels so raw despite all that he achieved in College. But otherwise, yes, that's the six/seven rotation guys right now. Not amazing, but should be play-in competitive if healthy.

So they gotta find 3/4 guys, which doesn't seem like a lot considering their resources this summer with their capspace/draft picks, but I gotta say their talent ID has been questionable these past 3/4 years, so who knows if they can successfully do it. Just as an example, they thought McDaniels was gonna be a possible contributor and he's godawful.

I think if people are skeptical, they'd be right to be, but all we can do is let it play it out and see what the FO do.

If nothing else, Ochai is still a good defender. I'll take 15 minutes of that. Hopefully the shot comes around over the summer.

Nice gesture by LeBron to suit up for this one. Definitely a game he could've sat out but he wanted the fans of Toronto to see him play.

Career 121 Drtg and -1.1 Defensive Box +/-. Both of those numbers are bad and his offence is even worse. He has a long way to go before he's a rotation player on a good team.

Really nice to see RJ and IQ back; finally look like an NBA team again at least in the beginning. BBQ Dick is a solid core to build with, but man we really need some rim protection. Hopefully we can get this off-season.

IQ/ ?
RJ/ Dick
?/ Ochai
Barnes/ Olynyk
Poeltl/ ?

Next season will completely be dependent on how we fill those question marks. I gave Ochai the benefit of the doubt that he'll be good enough to even be a rotational player lol.
