the offense needs to go faster, not let Toronto get into their half court defense.

Vuc and Fournier are the only two not performing under the lights, but yeah excuses will prevail for those two.

That was another great defensive play from Isaac to set it up, too.

YUp.. push it. Gasol is breathing hard. The only way Vuc can get is if Ibaka is the one guarding him. Leave Gasol in the dust by running.

Pay T. Ross whatever he wants tbh. Our young guys don't want to lose this game. I love the energy they have brought to this game. Vucevic, Evan and DJ need to take hard looks at the mirror and come back with some better desperation. I'm still pissed DJ just stepped to the side when Kawhi made that baseline drive for the layup.

This team starts DJ Augustine and Evan Fournier at the 1 and 2.

Hopefully the Fultz gamble pays off, but if we want to progress we have to get better at these two spots.

We had 16 assists to 17 turnovers in game 2. Pretty sure it's the only game we've had a negative ratio all year. Right now at halftime we're at 8 assists to 11 turnovers. We're not a team that can beat any NBA team with a negative A/TO ratio, let alone a really good one like the Raptors. The hellbent insistence on forcing things through Vuc and Fournier isn't going to start producing better results. Fournier couldn't get to his spots in the regular season, let alone in the postseason where defense is more physical. Gasol has Vuc completely figured out. We're just not going to get looks, let alone made baskets, by continuing to force that. It's no accident that things picked up when Vuc went out. Birch didn't even really do anything, it was just a matter of not having Vuc in the game to waste our possessions with.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.
