It's the 2nd night of a b2b on the road. Obviously both teams aren't at full strength (76ers are likely better regardless) but this was a tough road win.

Oh I agree. Raps were better especially late and when it mattered. I thought the D slipped a little but nice to see nice offensive execution get us wins which isn't always the case. OG's growth on offense is great.
 
That was a good win on the 2nd night of a b2b.

Some great play, some sloppy play, some (very!) questionable calls, but we came out ahead so it's all good.

FWIW I rewound the 8-second violation on FVV in the 1st half and by my counting (using the game clock) it was somewhere around 5.5 to 6 seconds.

Is that not a reviewable play? Ridiculous.
 
Philly is gonna have nightmares about fourth quarter three point shots that bounce around the rim by the Raptors.
 
the team is young and tries hard, but that over-help defense is killing us. and calling zone in this game was a bad decision.
also, barnes only 10fg attempts, which was the lowest among the starters, its beginning to be a bit of a trend, and not a good one :(
 
It's nice the Raps became a terrible defensive team pretty quickly. Only way they will win is by their defence
 
I think the blue print is there but it's not a big deal if they have another year of close losses and get a chance to pick a natural scorer in this draft.

Really what they're missing is someone who can put up points and create their own offense.

the amount of over helping is pretty shocking, ive never seen so many open looks in my life lol. they also pressure way too much sometimes trying to get out in transition, when we are getting steals and turnovers it looks great, but when it doesnt work its usually a free bucket. teams have clearly adjusted and are taking advantage of our over aggressive style imo. over the last 7 games we are at the very bottom of the league in most defensive metrics.
 
You can't even say it's a young team learning. This is what we saw last year too, and Nurse's system has been figured out it seems. On him and the team to adjust.
Did Devlin actually say they will be judged in April and May and not now? What a terrible comment. This team isn't guaranteed to make the playoffs, so yes they should be judged right now and they aren't very good.

yep, pascal was horrific tonight on both ends.
also, nurse is trying to kill our starters lol.

scottie is getting less and less aggressive by the game too, they really need to try and involve him more cuz it looks like its effecting him. at least imo.
