Nursing Leonard to 74 wins - Official Raptors 2018/2019 Thread

Nurse is a idiot

 

[Auger]

Few things...

There were some really careless turnovers in the first quarter
Bench was absolutely TERRIBLE
Would have gave Meeks burn over Lin with the bench unit
Nurse left OG in a little too long there during the halfway mark in the 4th
Gasol can stand to be a little more aggressive in the post
Pascal has got to be more alert defensively down the stretch
Kawhi could pass a bit more (and not just to Danny)

how many times are you guys going to lose to the hornets

It's a meaningless game

Hard to defend Nurse after games like this....That end of game playcall was out of Dwane Caseys handbook....shoot a difficult 2 when ur down 2 with 3 seconds left.

I know were kinda going thru the motions in some of these games but the defense has got to be better....and i would not have Fred on the floor last possession when you need a stop...and its not cuz it was his mistake i dont like his lack of size on the ball...

 

[Miggs]

Siakam defense tonight was a complete letdown...He has to start getting mad out there and play with a focus instead of this loosey goosey oops ill try harder next time mentality i see in him...When you trap a guy you CANT let him jump around you that easily...

Siakam allowed that because he doesnt have a meant streak in him that he needs...His defense too often takes on his personality,which is light hearted and easy going...

Danny and Kyle are not effective on smaller, more quicker point guards.

That includes Kyrie, Kemba, Dame, Ish Smith, and maybe Reggie Jackson.

Surprisingly OG and Fred can be effective with the right rotation.

I will say overrall the most disappointing thing about this team is there defense...Its nowhere near as good as what i thought it would be...

Fred has big moment hiccups...Hes good for 35 mins but late in games he has let downs.I blame him for that 3 being open,once Kemba gets by you find a shooter and let the help D take care of the penetration...

Delon Wright
26 points 12 assists 9 boards

I'd rather Delon than Fred Van Cleef

 

[Guess Who]

Didn’t watch but the minutes distribution looks really weird...why didn’t the starters play more? And extra two minutes each would have won the game probably

 

[MikelArteta]

the way these bottom east teams are playing we should sweep or max 5 xcept charlotte

Tough Game to lose.
Not sure why Lin is getting playing time over others.
Lowry make a lot of bad decisions.
OG going cold again.
Siakam is going to have a tough season next year. He's no longer under the radar.
