Why are the Toronto Raptors struggling this season?

[Lebron23]

They are the 12th best team in the Eastern Conference.

[Mask the Embiid]

They start Khem Birch and Precious Achuwa at center :oldlol:....Its been like 2 years of them refusing to get a real center...Then they force Pascal to play center and he doesnt know how to....its not something u just learn instantly and u have him trying to learn on the fly @ an nba level....idiots

They have no rim protection outside of Scottie getting a lucky block or 2 helping from the perimeter getting sneak blocks on ppl that dont see him

They‘re doing pretty well actually.

The majority of NBA teams are hovering around the 50% mark.

Its quite even out there.

They’re around .500 and competitive, 12th in the east isn't as bad as it usually is this year. No Kawhi, no Lowry, no Gasol, no Serge. They start Khem Birch and a rookie, a good one. They’re ahead of schedule in my opinion.

Because they're not in a cupcake conference anymore.

STFU moron. Even if I don't want us to be in the playoffs, we will make it.

The biggest issue is the BENCH. We are far from the "bench mob" era, sadly.

only a Canadian fan team would posit his team is doing "quite well" in 12th place in a 15 team division and 2 teams suck huge totaling 9-41

way to go!!

The GOAT is no longer on their team. #2
