those early shot clock 3s rarely go well. Terrible defence they need to completely overhaul this strategy

Scottie’s entire career trajectory is based on whether or not he can hit open 3s. I’ve been saying this for years. It actually allows him to play with a guy like Ingram and space the floor.

This is why us sucking this bad is making me so mad because he’s actually doing what he’s supposed to and somehow we still suck.

As long as the Raptors shoot 50% from three on like 45-50 attempts, they should be able to hang around in this game.

Honestly something is up. For example we are having blatant defensive lapses we didn't have last year.

Now we can’t rebound, we need Gradey in, so we at least the defence can’t cheat like this

Those players that won the games were G Leaguers trying to fight for their spot in the league playing against fellow G Leaguers.
