The Raptors suffered a humiliating defeat in New Orleans tonight, falling 122-111 to the Pelicans in yet another disappointing performance. Mike breaks down the team's recurring nightmare: another complete collapse in the fourth quarter, where any hope of a comeback evaporated. There's still no clear offensive plan in sight, leaving the team looking disorganized and predictable. Scottie Barnes continues to play far too passively on that end of the floor, rarely attacking with the aggression this squad desperately needs from its young star. Questions loom large about who is actually leading this group—leadership feels absent on the court. As a result, Toronto has now slipped into the play-in tournament picture, and the frustration is mounting with every passing game.
