The Toronto Raptors have been creative in their tanking efforts. Instead of filling the injury report (only), Darko Rajakovic has also tried playing his third-stringers in clutch moments, benching his starters in the 4th quarter, and making questionable play calls. All of these efforts were supposed to help the Raptors lose. How about motivating the opponent to win?
That’s right, folks. It’s time for the Raptors to light a fire in their opponents by taunting them!
There’s no denying the competitiveness of NBA players. Whether they’re a perennial All-Star or a G-Leaguer trying to make the league, players will always give that extra oomph when they have something to prove.
