Last summer there was so much hype around so many of the Raptors players being at the Rico Hines Runs and how good they looked. Then comes the regular season. Masai even said the offence was painful to watch at times (which was putting it lightly [“at times”]) and based on the eye test, I’d say we were bottom 5 in clutch performance. I won’t know how excited I am about this season until I watch some regular season games and see how the team actually operates. Also, most Raptors content on Reddit (if we’re comparing ourselves to that) in the summer is internet silliness, like memes and what players are posting on their social media accounts or doing in their spare time, as opposed to sports talk

I think everyone is taking a breather. Not much is happening. Nothing to really get excited about until we finalize the roster and see what the team will be like.

And realistically, I think we’re all coming to terms with whatever this level of team might be. Any hope of competing at the contender level is deflated unless something major happens.

Having said that, I’m still excited to see the young team if things shake out the way they look like they will. And if we suck, maybe they’ll bring the ticket prices down a bit. 😂

Just not enough to talk about. New coaching staff will provide changes but nothing we can see until the season starts. Players are the same as last year, minus the obvious. It’s just “wait and see what happens” right now. Plus it seems like lots of the teams around us are getting better while we are just kinda meandering so it’s not an exciting time until we have something to peek our interest.
