Once Siakam spins he has nowhere to go, he needs just catch and shoot more 3s when he's open

As much as I wish he was, pascal is not a #1 option. When the defence focuses on him, he wilts every time. I actually think he’s a great 3rd offensive option...

Limited Lebron and AD to 8 points and still losing. Bench play was dreadful.

Well, this is a matchup between 2 of the best defensive teams in the NBA, 44-41 is to be expected

On the plus side, they've once again clamped LBJ/AD. Their role players are stepping up though

We need a Lowry to play with more aggression

The team feeds off his leadership

This game really highlights why I don't want to pay Fred big money. We can't pay $20-25 mill for a PG that can't finish and isn't a good playmaker.

The Raptors aren't clicking on offence and the ball was slipping way more than I'm used to seeing. The defence is elite like always.

Gotta get their rhythm, let's see if they can find it for a good stretch in the second half.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'
