What was the point of this win serious question? Why is this franchise trying to be mediocre😔
6:48 precious best game of the season by far. Letss goooo precious. we really miss your shotblocking
Well I guess we’re not tanking 😅
Good win but Raps had to play a crazy amount of zone defense and hit a season high in 3PM… I’m looking to see if they can defend straight up. So ya good win, but it’s hard to take away very much from this one
Precious, Boucher, and Koloko are must see TV. Change that tag team to a trios instead.
This is the team I’m accustomed to watching. We can all agree with a healthier squad this team can play the type of ball we know they can play. Keep the wins coming
I swear we are purposely trying to copy the Celtics from last year. Face diversity early and finish strong
Koloko-Thaddeus-Birch-Same & Similiar Designated Work
O.G.-Barnes-Similiar Energy & Style
Malachi-VanVleet-Similiar
Achiuwa-Boucher-Similiar
Siakam-Is His Own
Hernan-Utility Guy
Trent Jr.-Is His Own
The Coach needs to use the similarities and actually do a 5-3 minute rotation.
I would like to see some set plays that the team can use in certain situations like a 3-point perimeter throw around with the initial pass starter being open to rush the net for an alley-oop along the end baseline. Should be Boucher-Achiuwa-Barnes-O.G.
Also, players need to not cramp each other's space when on the 3-point line. Like Boucher looking lost as to what to do after handing it off to VanVleet. Just an example. I Love Ya Boucher, just need more confidence.
I see also that Scottie can help set a screen for VanVleet or Trent Jr. after the lateral back pass. Just stand and let VanVleet or Trent Jr. Go for the 3 off your screen after the pass off.
Also when you work on certain style passes, for instance like a bounce pass or chest pass. When other Raptors see the style of pass they'll know where to go for the rebound-kick out.
Definitely need to work on better passing technique cause I ain't bending down to my ankles and then throwing a three.
That's what I see.
Keep elevating the intensity every quarter is also what the team has to work on cause the first half of the year quarters 3-4 were epic with high energy.
And last nights game the team came out on fire the first and second quarter and the third you were kinda riding a long board cadillac surfing instead of a 6 foot ripper, getting air off the wave.
Let's Go Raptors Let's Go!!!
Great game boys, keep sharing keep moving and cutting on offense. Love the unselfish Easy buckets and wide open 3’s. The confidence, swagger intelligent basketball of champion is showing in the last two games. Love seeing you guys having fun running. The game is easy when you play team basketball and everybody is enjoying moving to confuse the opposing defense. The vets will have to do less carrying if everybody is playing like this. Second Unit chemistry requires consistency, stay connected. Good Job.
Nick Nurse just needs to keep the bench players getting double digits minutes and playing his starters no more than 36 minutes they will respond.. The bench needs to play thru mistakes. The bench will be better with Precious back
.
If Precious can become more consistent.. he will become what Serge Ibaka was to us; but far far better.
Said it here first!!
Any good to great team needs at least 7-9 consistent rotation players.. Up until this point in the season the Raps have had like 2-4 total.
Time to get focused & work our way back to being a play-off team come season's end!!!
Wait😀
Good ball movement nice seeing precious back out there let’s get a run going we the north 🔥
sloppy game, sloppy performance
Three 3s for PA. It's nice to see him shooting like 2nd half of last season. Hope that will keep it up.👍
