If they keep theit health they can win more than 25. We were injury riddled last year. 32 wins. With all things working for us i think they can win 35 games. Especially with the core getting better than they were last year
Bob’s pessimism is pretty much hate. And like most haters, he has only opinions…but no rationale, like haters. Carry on Bob, bleat away…respectfully you & your takes don’t matter. :-)
I think Bob’s perceived hate is part of the character he developed years ago and more than not is understood as such by his guests and almost always draws out a really detailed answer and rarely a personal insult retort. Jack Armstrong would not have given such a detailed insightful analysis had Bob not come at the team so abruptly.
The only flaw with Jack's MLB vs NBA argument is you only play your division four times and every other team in your conference will play each team in your division three times (with a few teams actually playing some teams in your division four times as well). Thus it's really only four games extra (potentially less) that you're playing. The schedule's pretty much close to balanced lol
he was also wrong saying the celtics were rebuilding during kyle lowry era. they had crap years in beginning with stevens starting off but then went to conference finals buncha times, those werent gimmy wins. philly, NY he was right.
This year's team should be better than last year over the entire season, last year was chaos and at least there seems to be most of a plan for this year. BBQ have a whole season to learn how to play together if Jak can stay healthy and Dick/ Walker can find a consistent shot, There's a decent team coming together here. Still some growth and a couple of trades away from competing in the playoffs, but within reason it could be a year away.
@rs500gsoat don't make no sense. So many factors went into last season happening the way it did. If our starting 5 are healthy we can win more than 25.
That take is like one of those super hot farts that make you worry just for a split second. These kids are max 2 years out of the playoffs. They can be a play in team if they stay healthy.
Please have more interesting guests on that are willing to provide more objective analysis... Armstrong is a mouthpiece for the networks to sell Raptors basketball to Raptors fans... he's not going to risk hurting ratings by devaluing the on-court product he's paid handsomely to promote And no, Paul Jones and Doug Smith do not count as more interesting guests...
Hey Jack, I can't believe you have such a high opinion of N. Nurse? He's okay if he has the 'horses' to work with. The worst thing about him is if you remember, he didn't play the young or ever bother to develop these young players, i.e. Oshae Brissett and Dalano Banton. Soon after they went else where, their performance took off. But NO chance under him, year after year! IMO, good coach, I don't think so.
Great show. Just want to say, Bob, I love your resilience. You keep doing what you do no matter what. All the respect in the world to you my friend.
Jack is the man.

I wish these old puckheads wouldn’t cover the raptors at all
I love Jack but I agree with Bob. 25 wins is the high mark.

They don't have enough shooters.They will struggle to get to 30.
Letting Fred van Cleef go. Huge mistake
By the time they get back into the playoffs Scottie will be leaving for the USA.

Jack is off the rocker! I respect the guys opinions but this team is garbage and will be for few years and they must hit on draft
This team is not a good one and that's a good thing from the standpoint that we will be in the Lottery and hopefully end up with a great young player.
It's a good year to be bad, too. Deep draft.
Bob is usually wrong by a mile
Bob talking basketball is always a low point. He has very little if not no knowledge about the game at all.
