There has been a recurring theme of the Raptors leading through three and then falling part in the 4th. It helps with the tank, they will have to learn to handle these situations. Been fun to watch.

Yea, but you don't want be last in defensive rating. I know they are missing a couple of guys, but still. Darko said they will be better defensively. It's unacceptable no matter if you're for the tank or not.

This is the type of tanking that is great. Hard fought losses, keep it up!
Tbh, I think Darko is just a placeholder for this group, until they develop a bit more. Then they will hopefully bring in someone a bit more legit.

Is this a coaching issue? or a player issue? Because I know they (the players) are working hard, but not smart necessarily.

I think it's a coaching issue. A good coach needs to know when to call timeouts to make adjustments and stop runs.

There are some growing pains with the players, but I just don't think Darko is there yet as a HC. He's a very good basketball mind, but I feel like he fits better as an assistant who focuses on player / skill development and running offensive schemes rather than the entire operation. Just my opinion
