Bench is good, but the starting lineup never wins its minutes

Well it's a good start to finally have a bench and not have to wear down the starters. It does seem they still lack that top end talent all the best teams have. Maybe CMB and Barnes become that down the road. The bench can carry them in the regular season, but come playoff time it won't be the bench winning games

I think they score alright in the aggregate; it's the defense, nonchalant turnovers and inconsistent 3pt shooting in the starting lineup that's not up to snuff. If we make the playoffs I think Ingram will take it to another level, he's still not 100% since his injury last year and is returning to form.

He's got that mamba mentality, I love that about him.

Been saying this since the trade to Toronto...RJ is the only guy who is always a downhill threat. If he isn't shooting it well...he will always look to get into the teeth of the D and get to the basket.

How did Pascal fall for that? Lol

Pascal was probably ecstatic thinking he’lll teach him a lesson, and now he’ll never stop.

I love that play. We are starting a lot of halves with that lately.
not strong, only aggresive cuz the power ain't directed/ that's why, we are subjected to the will of the oppressive

So incredibly stupid, giving up a guaranteed 2 points for so many other worse outcomes like even getting fouled and not making the shot there is really bad
