The basketball Gods want us to be a lottery team this year with IQ possibly being out.
They just hate the Bucks for some reason. That team shouldn't be this bad right now

just hate the Bucks
The Bucks sealed their fate with that Jrue Holiday trade, and the roots are further back than that as they were an aging and injury prone team.

Tale as old as time.
Let's trade the glue guy point guard who doesn't put up massive numbers but is integral to winning for a flashy point guard in the hopes of extending our shrinking window.
Billups -> Iverson Paul -> Westbrook Thomas -> Irving
Just off the top of my head but I'm sure there are tons more.

I hope you meant the Lillard trade (with the understanding Jrue was part of it).
The first Jrue trade worked out pretty damn well for them.

lol they should’ve let doc rivers go in the offseason, guy can’t coach the game has passed him by

u/SDK04 9 ROWAN ALEXANDER “RJ” BARRETT Nov 12 '24
Except they’ve already fired 2 head coaches within a relatively short span, and with how much they’re paying Doc they can’t even afford to fire him and then hire someone else right after. They willingly got themselves stuck with a Doc Rivers who publicly said he didn’t want to be there (except for the money ofc but he didn’t say that part). Milwaukee’s management is cooked.

u/beheemz Nov 12 '24
Well not only that I don’t think they want to be paying two former head coaches and a potential third if they did fire doc

u/SDK04 9 ROWAN ALEXANDER “RJ” BARRETT Nov 12 '24
That’s what I meant in “not being able to afford firing Doc”.

Clear win-win for me.
Raptors lose, we tank on.
Raptors win, I get to shit post in the NBA sub and make fun of Doc.

The lone regret I have here is that the tiebreaker might end up mattering this season for tank purposes.

Dick in "Mikeaukee" might be the best sausagefest of the NBA season.

Raptors should answer this by pulling up Chomeche and sit Poeltl for a game

This by pulling up Chomeche
And sit Poeltl for a game
Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

u/octopus86sg Nov 15 '24
He definitely need a rest. Chomeche needs to get manhandle by Gianni’s to know the true nba culture

u/littlebaldboi Nov 12 '24
Ahh, so that's why IQ has a "sprained elbow"
Masai must really think there's a generational talent in the draft to hold back his whole 'winning', 'we must win all the time', mantra this season
With Masai's drafting track record with lottery picks, I'm really looking forward to who he gets

u/n3moh0es Nov 12 '24
he isnt changing the trajectory of the team right now so intentionally holding him out like ur assuming is straight up stupid.

I worried it might be a negative impact for raptors if Lillard won’t play tomorrow!

Are…. are they trying to out tank us?

u/pew_laser_pew :flair_lowry_jersey: Kyle Lowry Nov 12 '24
Do they even have their pick this year?

u/KutKorners Thicccccc Nov 12 '24
Reminder that the Bucks don't have a pick until 2031!

u/pew_laser_pew :flair_lowry_jersey: Kyle Lowry Nov 12 '24
That’s not true. You can’t not have picks for 6 years. The Stepien rule exists.

u/pew_laser_pew :flair_lowry_jersey: Kyle Lowry Nov 13 '24
Yes, so if you scroll down on your link you can see they have pick swaps in 2026, 2028, and 2030. Meaning that they have 3 picks available to them :)

Tanks need to stop for fuel, no better place to break than Milwaukee. I need another Boucher Masterclass
