PG: Meh

Felt like the game in Boston a few weeks ago. Like in the Boston game, at no point did it feel like we had any chance to win, even when we cut to 2. At least that's how it felt to me. Even if Pat hit that 3 late to put us up, FVV probably throws up a prayer at the buzzer and beats us. Just one of those games.

Also, it is really annoying how over the years the Raptors always have that guy who has one of his best nights of the year against the Bucks. Norman Powell, Serge Ibaka and of course FVV.

You mean their normal defense against us under Nurse?

Going on feel or eye test now that we're 23 games into the season. Feels like most of the games we've lost, we lost mostly because we didn't match our opponent's intensity. To be expected I guess, we're trying to coast to the playoffs and our opponents all have us circled on their schedules.

Still annoying though.

Not much to much to take from this, at least the ending was entertaining.

Yeah when the big 3 plays this team is the best in the league.

Basically without Khris scoring like he is capable of, we had little chance of winning.

Khris’ handle is not good now and he was not able to create for himself.

If we had a pg who could create for Khris such that Khris got the ball in his favorite spots at the right moments, that would be good too. But neither Jrue nor Hill were able to do that.

Seems so long ago that there was hope Nwora might give us something this year. Did he just lose all confidence?

He hasn't figured out how to play team ball yet.

Yes but also we have a clear disadvantage at times with our bigs.

And I do see this team sometimes tries only part of a game in key moments, and coasts like u said at other times.

There's one pretty significant difference between them and us that may explain this phenomenon

What I take from this is that we need another forward. Toronto doesn't even bother playing a center.

I'd love to add Yutu Watababe. Perfect PF for our Giannis at center lineups, and as a backup to Giannis.

its a choice by coaches to sacrifice offensive boards for transition defense it permates alot of choices made by the offense after the shot goes up

Mamu Mania with 10 boards (6 of them on the offensive glass) in 22 minutes. You're wasting his two-way eligibility by only throwing him out there in garbage time. #FreeMAMU

Mamu needs a little more confidence. He looked scared to shoot, at times, and usually passed the ball as soon as he got it. Having said that, he didn't look half bad last night.
