I feel like I've seen 10 Raptors games being really close at the end this season & since he got back I feel like I've seen RJ make sure they've lost them all trying to do too much :heh:

Whats the alternative? Reddish sucks, Gabr sucks, christie sucks. Theyre already playing Lebron at PG, might as well start their best shooter with them, and let dlo be the bench offense
You’re looking strictly from an offensive view. Against good teams he’s getting played off the floor imo

It’s like nobody has learned their lesson. This team is avg. Started the season off good…people started shytting on Ham to hype JJ.

Lost several games & suddenly remembered it’s the same team from last season. Last 5 games have played really bad teams & did what they should, win. DK shortcomings will be back on display once they play good to great teams again.

I will say tho the team can usually stick around no matter the deficit because of Bron. His presence gives other players the confidence they can compete. Now winning is another topic & again it’s because the team is mid.

I would actually start DLO over DK still tho. Reason being DLO is a better shot creator & will perform better starting vs off the bench. DK has shot well but he’s not moving the needle as a starter against good teams. Russell still has the ability to heat up. Both are ass defensively tho

None of those guys are significantly better defensively than Knecht versus how bad they are on offense. The only real solution would be trying Vandy when he's healthy but the spacing would be worse.
