I laugh at the argument that playing for the Warriors proves McCaw is a valuable player.

You could've slotted me next to Steph, Klay, Dray, and Durant and they would still be a 60+ win team.

Now that I think of it, McCaw's numbers on the GSW were even more underwhelming considering he played next to 3 HOFers. This season he's averaging 7 more MPG than with the Warriors yet he's still averaging 4 PPG. Dude is a complete liability on offense. Unlike GSW, the Raptors can't afford to play -1 on offense for 48 minutes every game.

you'll never understand mccaw's value if all you do is watch boxscores.

What?!?

Akela is right. The rabble have decided to pick on McCaw, because they don't know any better and feel they're entitled to a perfect season and anything that get's in their way is an affront to their overblown ego's. All they are proving is their lack of knowledge about the game. They're not the GM, not the coach, but they certainly think they know better than the professionals.

And they change their mind game to game.

Terence Davis wasn't about to bring the ball up the court against pressure. But today we pretend he would have.

what are you guys talking about, there's no statistical number that points favourably for McCaw continuing to play, stop pointing to narratives. And most of this board has been against McCaw so many minutes for a long time, not game to game.

Most of this board are bandwaggoners getting seduced by the madness of crowds.

Statistically we're waiting for Fred to return.

strong argument there

[everdiso]

The starters are all good to very good.

For the first time in his career, Norm has played himself into legit rotation quality. 538's Raptor rating still has him slightly negative, but barely, and that's probably just a lagging indicator anyway. He's finally deserving of these kinds of legit rotation minutes so good for him.

Ibaka is having one of his worst years impact wise. Not time to give up on him yet but it's a real concern and his minutes should probably be cut in the meantime.

McCaw? He's an outright disaster. No way he should be in any team's main rotation, let alone on a contender's. He's a 12th man at best on this team, though there's a decent chance some of the extra players could outplay him too. It's really too bad that nurse is overplaying him this badly.

RHJ is being used just about perfectly. Thriving in real rotation role but not being overplayed and having his limitations exposed.

Meanwhile, both Davis and Boucher are dominating their limited minutes in a huge way, and the team would benefit from giving both of them more minutes - even significantly more minutes.

Thomas in the exact role he's made for, and doing well.


Overall, there is no clearer change that would improve the team more than swapping McCaw and davis' roles....and tbh McCaw shouldn't even get a role as big as davis has had so far.

There is also good argument to give a bigger chunk of ibaka's minutes to Boucher, too.

so who is going to apologize to Mccaw after tonight?
kid had a steal and 3 blocks and no turnovers on a perfect shooting night, meanwhile his "forum favorite" Davis didn't contribute a single point, steal or a block on defensive end, had 2 turnovers in just 10 minutes and chucked 2 shots and ended with -6. Only Siakam had more turnovers than Davis.
You're all too quick to judge the kid, he's an ace. In Nurse, we trust.

lol he's been one of the worst players in the league all season, so bad that we've reached the point where even a 2 point game is being treated as some kind of redemption

[Basketball_Jones]

Just as I suspected. Fred back and now Davis is buried on the bench. 20 mpg for this scrub to jog up and down the floor and do nothing it’s the freakin twilight zone

This is so simple but seems above the head of so many Toronto ball fans. TD makes alot of plays and alot of mistakes. McCaw makes very few plays but almost no mistakes. For a third guard on a team with Lowry and FVV.....McCaw's low risk play is what's needed. If you want to construct the most versatile 10 player rotation out of our squad.....TD's best qualities are relatively redundant compared to McCaw. Patrick provides length on the perimeter and a low-risk, low-yield steady hand. TD just makes way too many mistakes in running our schemes. The other players are constantly reminding him of this. You very rarely see other players have to tell or remind McCaw of anything.

Obviously, TD has a higher long-term ceiling. But everyone might as well get used to it...because as things stand as they do now....we will see a steady dose of playoff McCaw with TD only getting heat check momentum type minutes. That's what's best for this team, this year.

Terence Davis just came off a game where he scored 23 points, had 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Patrick McCaw has had back to back 2 point games.

Am I taking crazy pills? McCaw does so little out there.
