Normally I’m a tank fan, but it’s the Celtics. Please just win this game and then go on a massive losing streak

If we can't beat a depleted, exhausted Timberwolves squad then I'm not sure how anyone can feel good about this one.

A win here would be……surprising.

Scottie having a good game and an L, please.

We're so inconsequential that we get scheduled for a 5pm tip-off on a Saturday. The let's get this **** over with so actual weekend plans can start time slot.

Big game, must lose

How will Fred manage to pull out another L for the Raptors…? Stay tuned!

I just can't see us winning this.

Boston hates us so much they may lose to us on purpose.

Tatum's out. I read where timelord and Brown are maybes.

I don't trust Jaylen Brown at all as a first option. I think we win this.

In my own twisted mind, I believe this is a reverse jinx, because the Raptors have a better first option

Lol they all played last game and now Bos top 3 players all take a night off against us? We are running the Gauntlet of Ineptitude

I see. Another team trying to lull us to sleep by resting their star. We've seen that before.

Wait.....what??!! We're playing the C*^#tics??!!
F that. Let's win today. Start losing tomorrow. (MY NOTE: Have you noticed how many fans of shitty teams want to pause their tank just to beat us?)

We don't play well when the other team sits a superstar We need a poll as to which scrub will torch us in his place ....

I want a good draft pick but not so much I wanna lose to Boston. Need Fred and Gary to show out some more and keep upping that trade value.

Gonna be an early drunk night ....

Tatum isn’t playing? Are teams honestly resting star players thinking the raptors are a cake walk? Makes tanking so difficult

raps quickly becoming the go to rest destination

With Tatum sitting out we’re definitely losing this game.

Brightside I Have Jaylen on my fantasy team so hopefully he drops 45 in this inevitable loss lmao

should be an easy win without Tatum.

*** the saltics regardless

How many points for Pritchard tonight?

The game where Luke Kornet goes vintage Kevin McHale on the Raptors.

If there’s a guy on the Celtics with a pony tail, he definitely dropping 40

Incoming Jaylen Brown 50 bomb

Fred sitting this one out with rib soreness eh. Hopefully thats code for he's getting traded lol.

thank god no fred - his ego and lack of character make me sick - all he cares about is winning and its killing our wemby odds

Are there any new and unique ways for this squad to lose? Already have multiple fake comebacks, 5 minute scoring droughts to close the game, missed layups to win, defensive breakdowns at the end, etc..

they shouldve sat brown too they would still have won

No Fred for us, no Tatum for them. Don’t be surprised if we win.

No fvv oh wow we might actually have a chance

Nurse: hey Fred, your choice of playing against Marcus Smart or Jalen Brunson?
Fred: ...

I sense a heartbreaker for team tank

Combination train wreck, roster upheaval intrigue, rumored locker room bitterness, clear fatigue up and down the lineup, and of course tanking for the draft... Raps are just as watchable as ever right now if not MORE!!

Payton Pritchard masterclass incoming

Williams good test for Precious, he is what we wish Achiuwa can be

Happy to see precious back in the starting lineup, hope he can impress in his first game starting in a long while

Brand idea: Achiuwing Gum

Precious is awful


Boston is playing like us and we're playing like Boston. Weird. Also, Precious cmon man. I want the tank but an artful tank. Wth was that?

Maybe we should start all games at 5 for next championship guarantee

Pascal playing like trash

Pascal and Precious committed to the tank

Waive trashcal

Refs got the sign from Masai in the stands to start the pro tank whistles

I hate the Celtics but man I love their guys Smart, Jaylen, Brogdon, Horford, and Tatum are so good.

The Siakam over Brown crowd gonna look dumb tonight.

One big difference between Brown and Pascal is Pascal is a champion. With how the Celtics are playing, Brown might be one soon too.

Oh nice, Brown is playing. Celtics are trash if they lose this.

why are we sending doubles to 36 y/o al horford

Horford looks like he’s 65 out there lol.

Celtics shots all short. They look wiped.

jaylen brown cannot dribble

Grant Williams kinda looks like a fish...

Celtics look like they didn’t even prepare for this bum a** team

Brogdon is really good. He’s the major difference between this years Celtics and last years

Celtics are just a better team

Nice fast q tbh. Wish we get 3 quarters of competitive ball then initiate the tank

imagine if we had Brogdon off the bench

They’re cooking us

I'm done with Hermangonez. He doesn't do anything terrible, but he is so meh.

Pascal is so predictable. This Boston defence is reading him like a book.

Trashcal

Shhh keep his trade value high

The bench discrepency is hilarious lmao.

juancho is rlly getting blown by by grant williams

Grant Williams really improved his game. They have a solid bench unit with White, Brogdon and Williams

Grant Williams always turns into an all star vs Raps. That's telling about our problems

Whether its Williams, Smart, or Pritchard....one of these guys doubles his scoring against us always (MY NOTE: Or, in this case, it'd be Williams AND Pritchard)

Whether its WWilliams, Smart, or Pritchard....one of these guys doubles hisBoucher blocked by White so embarrasing
Boston 5th def rating but doubling Juancho

Lol doubling Juancho, did you just watch Hustle or something?

grant fat (MY NOTE: I told you they'd be calling Grant fat. Now I just need one about his "punchable face" although, these being Canadians, they might be too polite for that)

Derrick Whites hair is doing an MJ fadeaway

Derrick White just gotta let it go. That hairline keeps moving back, and the headband width keeps getting wider.

we're letting f***ing Grant Williams score on us

How are we unable to stop this man? Dudes built like someones uncle.

who has been guarding (or not guarding) grant williams?

We should try signing Grant Williams in the off-season.

Someone is gonna overpay the he** out of grant Williams in the summer lol

OG should look at Grant Williams and learn how to play

Boston fans are having a heart attack right now lol remember when that was us?? lol when we cared enough to let our health be affected by games...ah, I miss those day lol

grant a fat mfer

I always feel like White only has hair coming out of the back of his head. Kind of like a carrot.

Oh nooo. Hope Smart is okay and just flopping.

Another Raptors Killer injured!

Fred putting his sneakers back on now that smarts hurt

Pascal is Grant Williams son

Horford go home old man

Feel bad for the Celtics, losing smart like that must be demoralizing, they might also lose to our trash a** team as well now.

Status alert: Robert Williams (knee) won't return Saturday. Teams really resting ppl against us at halftime



They're trying to ruin our tank smh



Let Brogdon go off for tank world order.


Calling it now. Raps by 10.

Nurse: hey Fred, your choice of playing against Marcus Smart or Jalen Brunson?
Fred: ...

The basketball gods seemingly want the raptors to really win this one

Precious has incredible feet for his size.

Too bad he also has the dinosaur brain.

F*** man were gonna win this game

Kornet bout to feast against us

Scottie not strong enough to hold horford back, he got that old man strength

Oh no, our one weakness*, a team missing most of their starters! *other than all our other weaknesses.


If there’s a way there’s a tank

Lmaooo gtj got cooked by horford

Celtics tried to slow down the tank by taking Smart and Williams out of the game and Raps countered by taking out OG. Your move Boston.


I'm going to tell my children that that's Gordon Hayward

not sure if Precious knows that the opposing players have arms

Brogdan would have such a difference maker for us man

How does Grant Williams easily beat every forward of ours off the dribble??

Apparently Boston has a fat a** steph curry tonight

Ref looks like the adult version of every Disney movie bully

Thad Young vs Blake Griffin. Battle of Washed Up

Derrick White always has that expression like he’s trying to listen to what you’re saying but can’t quite hear you.

we gonna clutch out this loss lets go

Raps really know how to lose despite all of these teams being devoid of starters

Blake Griffin dominating the paint

We are losing to Boston’s second team, aren’t we?

Thad for Gallo, a 2nd and the rights to Yam Madar? Who says no?

Pritchard is who we want Flynn to be

Ed Malloy has had the biggest grudge against the raptors for years

Celtics coach living up to his Italian heritage with those hand gestures lol

Mazzula gives me Christian fundamentalist vibes

Clear blocking foul Joe Mazula is smoking something..

alright nurse stop trying to win... bring in the bench

Boston Bench outscoring raptors bench 51-10. Team is COOKED MAN

Pritchard is so cringe man

Prit said "No OT tonight, I have my KKK meeting right after the game"

So sad we are losing to Boston without Tatum and Marcus Smart and getting cooked by bench players. We really are a sh** team…

We're letting Pritchard kill us.

Pritchard first ballot Raptor-killer HOF

Will ticket prices at least decrease if they suck?

Getting torched by the Boston bench , woop woop

We need a Pritchard (MY NOTE: Can be done. PP for Precious)

There are so many raptor killers out there my goodness

YES! Pritchard offensive board.

I literally don’t care what the stats say Pritchard has never missed against us


whys it always gotta be pritchard

Horford keeps cheating on these jump balls.

Wiley vet moves.

He learned that in the plantain fields of the Dominican Republic.

I somehow knew Al Horford would clamp on the last possession after being BBQ chicken all night

That was all proof that the league rigs this sh** to the teams they want on the front of the magazine, and Boston is the biggest cash cow rn.

We can lose and Siakam can still outplay Brown. Win-win.

REFS SAVING THE TANK

Jump ball? Refs coming in clutch for our tank

Nurse called a timeout when we had numbers to draw up a bad play

Fun Fact! The last three teams we've played were without 2 of their 3 best players and we still lost...we aren't good

Bench guys scoring career highs, this is Raptors basketball baby

elite tank

Not even OKC can tank like this

Defeat snatched from the jaws of victory

no smart, no tatum no problem

nurse got outcoached

We lost to friggin Grant Williams.

Clutch loss That lottery ball will change the fate of the franchise and speed up the fire sale


I feel like raptors are making players play heavy minutes to look good on stat sheet to have a better value from trade

Lol Siakam is the least clutch “superstar” in the league

Siakam aint no super star he isnt even Robin. Hes more like Batgirl who shows up every 50th episode

pritchard, malcolm and grant each are better than our whole bench

grandaddy Horford tonight

Raptors needs sharpshooters off the bench that kid from Boston came in and changed the whole game.

Wembayama here we come!

Man, this game made me feel envious of Celtics’ bench

Scorches by Pritchard…

Not much to say other than this team is trash and will always find a way to lose

Look at how good the celtics are shooting wise without their best player. They killed us at the 3 pt line. Pritchard would be a good get for us as a backup pg. way better than flynn. This roster the FO assembled is an embarassment.

I enjoyed the look of this Raps team without FVV, not gonna lie.

The look of a team against a group missing their best player and 2 best defenders

Boston thought they could out-dumba** us but that’s our bread and butter


bob


.

My favorite was the one about White's expression.He really does always look bemused.

Tatum isn’t playing? Are teams honestly resting star players thinking the raptors are a cake walk? Makes tanking so difficult


Q: Why did y’all rest Tatum?

A: Because Nick Nurses ref bitching is at Pandemic proportions.
Tatum’s ref bitching has flu-like symptoms and closing in on Pandemic proportions. Nurses are supposed to make one feel better but Your Nurse is contagious.
Does that answer your question?


Brand idea: Achiuwing Gum

Spit it out Joe


Horford looks like he’s 65 out there lol.

And thats how fast he was running with his game ending sprint to the locker room


I'm done with Hermangonez. He doesn't do anything terrible, but he is so meh
