Raptors Discussion: v96| Playoff Round 1 vs Philadelphia

[djdev]

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.

the overhelping is killing us. and with nurse playing his starters 40 minutes a night, its impossible to keep up that kind of defense all game, these guys are exhausted by the 4th quarter and then cant perform on offense or defense lol

Siakim has ruined it all. Not only is he brutal, the entire chemistry is off. Team was way better before he came back.

If one player is ruining everything, then our team was pretty bad already.
People need to think before they post. Imagine thinking one player can ruin an entire team. Awful stance

imagine not being able to see exactly what’s happening. Siakim has ruined almost every element on the team. 1/5 of the team is massive. Learn the game

siakam hasnt been good defensively, in fact hes been terrible. but the lack of a true 5 that has a shot blocking presence really effects how nurse wants to play defense(defend the paint and closeout on the perimeter) this system worked best with ibaka and gasol for a reason, 2 high IQ big men. nobody boxes out, and they have all been late on closing out on the 3 point line, not just siakam. the whole team is pressuring the opposition too high as well allowing for alot of blowbyes. they are doing this alot because of we are not a good halfcourt team offensively and clearly we want to get out and run in transition.

but ye, "siakam sucks, learn the game"
i can say fairly certainly by reading his and your respective posts that sticky has more insight in his little finger than you have in your entire body. i dont always agree with him, but at least i respect what he has to say unlike whatever you typically are spewing.

So.... Nav is clearly not watching the Raptors tonight. He's at a random WHL game here in Langley for some reason

lol @ nurse keeping his starters in up 20 with 4 mins left, after playing them all at 40 mins last night. what is he doing?

20 points with 4 left is secure but... The raps are not a power house. Golden State just did the same allowing Curry to drop 50 in a 20 point lead... Play until the losing team put their bench players in.

toronto has 4 players in the top 30 for minutes, fvv and og are 1 and 2 in minutes played respectively, we are on a back to back on a tough road swing and this is the sac kings 3rd stringers. its completely unneccessary unless you want more players to get injured lol. nurse is burning our starters out.

this is my big criticism of Nurse, especially since they have some good bench pieces. No need to play those guys that much

i get that he doesnt trust his bench and we have some injuries but he hasnt exactly tried different lineups to try and get the bench going, he just sits them and plays the starters crazy minutes lol

This was gonna be a tough season regardless of how good we started, at least that was what was said to us. I still like whats gonna happen IMO.

That guy off the GSW bench is a little Fred Van Vleet clone. The hair, beard, stature, the tats.

Yeah I think the good start got into some people's heads. This was always going to be a transition year and quite frankly it's gone better than i expected at this point.

man the downfall of luke walton is insane. from not being able to fire this guy from the lakers bench because of how much jeanie buss loved him because of recommendation to kings coach to move away please.

Nice game Raptors

 

[Suntouchable13]

They seem to have potential to be a good team since bad teams don't generally win on the road, but the 2-6 at home is really baffling.

 

[Amadeus]

I think you'll see our team progressively get better as the season goes on.
