Not sure I am enjoying pascal's style of play this year. He's not ever gaining advantage with his ball handling and positioning and shot feels forced.

I have a feeling Schroder is gonna be someone that always closes games no matter how bad he’s playing lol

Hope Darko isn’t like that but we’ll see

2 assists so far and some other nice passes on the break. WTF are you on about?

What are you on about? one of the assists was off a broken play he almost completely destroyed and hes a literal turn over machine anytime he does anything other than catch and shoot.

Delon for Young straight up works. He would be a massive upgrade over Flynn.

Not sure why Washington would do it.

Plus our FO isn't likely to make a decisive move like that to fill an obvious need

My **** you bitch a lot

Bad mood tonight

so far this preseason, we've been working movement and quick passes and shots. we really haven't run any "end of close game iso" sets. i mean we really don't have that one player that's really good at it so we're probably still gonna try and execute these type of sets and do it by committee.

devlin was running down the roster and said it more like "and that means downtin will be waived" - he didn't say downtin IS waived.

That's how I heard it too. Like the FO told Devlin already but poor Dowtin is in the dark, dressed and cheering on the bench. What a pos move by Masai

What if it was Teresa that told him?

I don't know who that is.

I don't think the starting lineup works. They just don't start well every pre-season game I'd seen. And I don't think they have yet to finish together.

Less dribbling and getting acclimated to Darko's system aka "Bench Mob" Pascal

Cade Cunningham has looked mid in preseason and Mobley is still the same guy.

Raps will need at least 20 games to get were Darko wants them to be. Be it Poeltl as a Passer from the high post, or chemistry between players, finding the right lanes in the offense and communcating the new defense. But all in all the most important change already is visible: Everybody passes the ball. I can overlook Siakams occasionally 1 on 1s for no reason and forcing a shot, if he plays teambasketball rest of the time.

4korners improved

Basketball_Jones · Post #476 » by **Basketball_Jones** » Sat Oct 21, 2023 12:46 am

Dennis has been pretty quiet. He gives up the ball quickly, makes his moves quickly, there’s very little dribbling around like the his ATL OKC days. There’s clearly an understanding of his role and no aspirations of trying to pump his stats and carry this team. Very different then Fred or Kyle, but I think he’s probably going to have a quiet but solid year

I don't know who that is.

Teresa Resch is the Vice President of Basketball Operations and Player Development for the Toronto Raptors.

I love OG as much as the next guy but his inability to consistently make plays with a live dribble is a bottleneck, particularly playing .5 basketball. I'm curious to see how it'll improve this year. He's spent so much time as a standstill corner shooter.
