It sucks when they have games like this. They have had so many games this year when they lose, but at least they compete. Yes they still lose at the end of the day, and I agree that I'm getting sick of losing on buzzer beater or the last play of the game so often, but this is worst than that. However, I could care less about watching the Raptors without Scottie Barnes and Immanuel Quickley. Those are the 2 guys we know for a fact that are gonna be here for the next 4 years at least, and everyone else on this team might not be. Jakob more than likely gone via trade in the next couple years. Kelly will retire soon, Boucher will get replaced in the rotation, RJ only has 2.5 years left on his deal and who knows with him based on his away play. Davion, Ochai, Bruno & Brown just here for a visit. GT retires next year 99%. Probably can't keep all the rookies, especially if Raptors draft 2 more next year. I'm guessing Shead gets cut. You said that these guys will be here long term but they keep playing bad, they won't. The only guys I could see sticking around long term with Scottie + IQ are Gradey, Mogbo, and maybe JaKobe. I hope Battle sticks around too honestly. It's just hard to get invested when you know the team in front of you is probably not the team that's going to be making a playoff push in a few years. Darko too might not be the head coach when this team is ready for playoff contention. That's why I'm not worried about this version of the team (because it won't be this in 3 years). From an entertainment perspective, yes this sucks and is not fun to watch. Until Scottie & IQ come back and actually play a full game together this season, it will continue to be meaningless basketball, even if they win games.
For Will…

It's called tanking Will
keep watching the vid bud
On the road against a tough Miami team without your two best player. You have some unrealistic expectation there budz.
I'm tired of seeing Gradey miss wide open 3's. Will he even turn it around? And even if he does, it's basically 2 wasted years atleast
No he won’t so stop watching
