  1. Nobody in the world needs a 41mins of fred tonight, its been very clear that OG has been our 2nd best player this season.

  2. whats the point of playing fred 41 mins and two other starters 38+ in a game that was over before half time?

    nick nurse likes to call out players. Boucher, Trent jr, precious, etc. no call out of Fred though. thats when your message falls flat when you don't keep that energy with everyone

  3. If I were Fred I would feel embarrassed to even talk to media. Can you believe our so called best shooter on the team has 36% FG percentage? Even worse NN blindly played him for 41 minutes. He should be sent to g league to sort things out

  4. Would have really liked to see Boucher in the starting lineup on Claxton at the rim and put Koloko on Durant and play man to man because they were just collapsing our defense and then just kicking it out and swinging the ball to the open man repeatedly.

  5. Coaching hasn’t been consistently good under NN & Company. The offensive sets are way too inconsistent for a professional team, tons of isolation that leads to more dribbling than a nursery—no pun intended. Scottie Barnes, Fred and OG are turning over the ball way too much. Boucher is trying to finesse way too much and avoids the contact—they’re not forcing the crooked refs to call foul. One of TRs major, major issues: THEY CANNOT MAKE FREE THROWS!!! Theo me, Toronto has the most in depth, talented team, but they’re being set up for failure (outside of injuries). Play Banton, Flynn, Ron Harper, Birch – especially when you’re getting killed. I’ve seen them play lock down defense and when Siakam is passing out of the post and their moving, they can score. I’m not writing them off, but something doesn’t seem right for an NBA team with these type of caliber players.
