GT#15| Raps (7-7) @ Rip City (6-8) - NOV 15 @ 10 PM ET TSN / 590

FVV is very elite in the mid range nowdays, Scottie and Pascal on paper should be great roll men, they both have a soft touch around the rim and are really good in making quick reads in the middle of the floor. I just don't see any reason why they shouldn't make it a staple in their offence.

Or at least closing time without a C, we probably get better spacing with it.
Raptors Republic also mentioned this to have Siakam work on the roll man, he can improve better with his positioning, so that the pass is easier for the handler.

Nurse needs everyone to go to Screening night school.

I think no one knows how to make a proper screen aside from Birch. The others just slightly put their shoulder into the defence and keep it moving.

[HumbleRen]

Raps don't really have guys that are good at running the PNR or warping defenses (maybe Pascal can change that a bit) so Nick has to find other creative ways to get some baskets.. Boucher for example is definitely struggling because Kyle isn't here to create those same opportunities (and no one else is able to on this roster).

I feel like they should still try it though. I refuse to believe FVV/Pascal or FVV/Scottie can't make it work.

I don’t have the metrics but I heard it on Samson Folk’s podcast that Siakam Fred pick and rolls are the best by the numbers on our team but we don’t run them a lot for some reason.

Very strange.

I don't even know what to think anymore.

Go Raptors!

Which theatre you suggest that Nicky should do the screening at?

Remember the Bloor cinema? That place was cool

None, make them go to the Cloverdale Mall and watch it on a projector.

The Raptors are going to insert themselves tonight!

Insert!

He's not as good as a roll man so that might be why they don't run it. the numbers were really good with Pascal as the ballhandler in inverted pick and rolls in the last 2 seasons, but the volume wasn't as high.

Second page real estate is mine.

Will not caring about his POSTS to AND1 ratio! Will is the real deal!

Against smaller player or bigger player?
My sense is that he is good against smaller player, but settling more long range jump shot against bigger player, probably bigger players let him shoot and backing out against his drive. If this is the case, I personal feel there is no reason to play him at C.

I salute you, F22_Raptor!

Need to move Senior off the ball more often to have a chance.

As we get closer to this game at 10PM EST, my concern with Anfernee Simons going off gets greater and greater.

[will]

Have a horrible hunch that Larry Nance Jr. is going to be an absolute pain tonight.

[will]

The Raptors better be looking to feed ADOBE in the post more often.

[will]

Would be nice to see GTJ get his buckets in the second half, instead of getting the majority of them in the first half and firing blanks when it counts.

[Dalek]

Will Lou said nothing wrong lol. Tired of these other Raps podcasters kissing everyone's ass lol.

I think it looks bad when accredited media is making statements about how much a player plays or how it runs its defense. I think at one point Will was actually suggesting how to tweak a defensive scheme for Nick Nurse. Will Lou suggesting strategy goes a bit too far down the Twitter rabbit hole.

[AbC?]

Pistons score 12 points in the 1st quarter against the Kings. They're lowest scoring quarter against us was 28. Maybe we don't have to run our gambling high pressure defensive scheme against every dogsh*t team.

I really like this kid. He finally got stronger and is primed for a breakout similar to Gary Trent Jr. He is a really fast player with the ball - he can pose similar issues to what Garland posed for Toronto.

I actually think this would be a good opportunity for Trent Jr. to lock the kid up and put him in his place.
