Head coach of the Toronto Raptors, Darko Rajakovic, made a Steph Curry-related remark that went viral.
In a recent media interview, Rajakovic was questioned about if Toronto has suffered enough for him to change lineup configurations and rotations. While acknowledging that the Raptors are considering all options, Rajakovic said that there isn’t a simple solution because Steph Curry isn’t sitting on their bench.
Due to its humorous and contentious nature, this statement has gone viral. Although it is undeniable that Toronto have talent comparable to that of Curry and is not making the most of it, a head coach making such a statement might alienate players. It makes sense that some fans who have responded to the video have expressed concern about this.
Although not everyone agreed with Rajakovic’s remark, he does make a valid point on Toronto’s squad. The Raptors, who have been mired in mediocrity for a number of years, appear to be slipping even below the already deplorable benchmark of being a middle-to bottom-tier playoff team.
Observing the playoff picture from the outside, the Raptors are considering their possibilities within, but they also know that Steph Curry won’t be coming to their rescue.
