Man it hurts seeing this. The Cavs are moving the ball..taking smart 3's. Obviously it helps having guys space the floor and LeBron. But Blatt would've been so good for Wiggins development.

Devin Harris and offensive rebounds. I know he has knee issues but Parsons has been horrible

Nurkic pushed Chalmers and Zbo who was right there tried to hold Chalmers back instead of going after Nurkic
I've never seen Zbo fear a dude before

@ that Sam Mitchell timeout speech
Wants that max contract
D Will faked it
Is 80-90% of Raptors games not enough? DeMarre's been injured for pretty much 90% of the season, dealing with plantar fasciitis and knee complaints. When he's been healthy he's been great on the defensive end. Considering the fact that DeMarre only played 25 minutes in both of those Bulls games, and was still having issues with his knee - yall performed about as good as yall could have on the defensive end without your best perimeter defender healthy. The first half a dozen games (although a small sample size) where DeMarre was probably in his healthiest state - yall dudes had the 3rd best defense and were shutting teams down. This is what I mean when you can't take those games against the Bulls as any sort of notable scale - your best wing defender could hardly move out there and Val was just coming back from injury.
Take for instance that Thunder game at the start of the season - yall held one of the best offenses in the league to ZERO field goals in the last five minutes of the game (Thunder only had five points from the free throw line).
Based on two games?
If you seen some of shytty ass performances the Bulls have given this season, you wouldn't be quick to put them over your team like this. Toronto is most definitely in the discussion of being the second based team - until the Bulls, Heat or Hawks can separate themselves from the pack - the Raptors will remain in that conversation.
Good win 
I thought i picked that fragile ass nikka on one game tonight, but i picked him in 3everytime I pick this nikka in fantasy he get hurt
Watch, the day i dont pick him, he'll get 60 or 70 fantasy pts
Wide open for Dwill. Dirk had a good drive too

Thunder and Spurs wins were exceptions to the rule cuz they both played poorly...
Val was a shytty defender before he was injured ad demarre was good not great and 1 good defender doesn't make a good defensive team sadly...this team has too many inconsistent efforts to say they're good on that end...good defensive teams are good all the time not against particular teams...
This is nonsense breh. This team healthy is a legit top-10 defense. The proof is in the stats and personnel.
Middleton has a better 3pt percentage than Steph Curry 
DeMarre is a great defender. He's one of the best wing defenders in this league. Of course he alone doesn't make the team good, but yall have Lowry (who's one of the better PG defenders), DeRozan is an adequate defender, Biyombo is one of the better rim protectors and Joseph is one of the best guard defenders in the league too. James Johnson is a pretty good overall defender as well.
Yall haven't been 3rd-11th in defensive rankings this season for nothing - especially since DeMarre has been injured for most of the games.
