Playing Barnes consistently, not playing Ingram at all, Quickley, Barrett, Poeltl in and out has all been quite confounding in this final third of the season
They can’t and should never tell the players to lose or play badly on purpose. In any case can’t wait for next season and am totally bored with this season and the never ending conversations re tanking.
Well written - finally someone addresses the elephant in the change room! Not one podcast from Raptors Republic (that I quite like generally) has itemized all the contradictions like you have in this piece. If Bobby and Masia are so brilliant, why so many contradictions? The difference between picking 4th and 7th or 8th is substantial - at least Philly and the Nets seem to have figured it out!

No disagreement here, just saying that if they're trying to win we might as well see the best team possible. Definitely can't wait for next season!
