I can't even imagine a Raptor player getting the whistle Trae Young got tonight. We shot more FTs, not complaining, but seeing one player get 20 is crazy.

I'm only thinking McCaw has nudes of Nurse. its the only explanation. lmao

besides that - i think Raptors are pretty much forcing McCaw to learn the PG position. It's the regular season. this is the time to make mistakes and learn from them.

McCaw is stupid raw right now - even for a 24 year old. its quite embarrassing he doesn't have consistent handles or a jumper.

I don’t think it was them running out of gas, as much as an inexperienced lineup having to deal with full court press. There’s no natural pg on that lineup so and as we saw the raptors do to the mavs in that 30 point comeback, it just threw everyone out of whack and they didn’t have the composure or skill set to successfully break it.

There’s also the bull Trae young calls that allowed them to get back into it, but the main thing was they just didn’t have the personnel on the floor to deal with the press. If Atlanta doesn’t start blitzing like that we probably cruise to the finish.

3 wins in 84 hours.

I'll take it.

Look, I understand why people don't like him, but people placing all the blame on McCaw for choking away that lead simply weren't watching the game very closely.

In the last four minutes of the game, there were 6 turnovers by the Raptors - 1 by McCaw, 1 by Davis, 1 by Siakam, and 3 by Norm. There's a lot of blame to go around for that stretch of play.

Nurse has gotta be on purpose not calling timeouts and subbing in Lowry so late

TD is really outplaying OG. OG started off so well and now he's back to being OG - inconsistent. He's becoming more and more tradeable every game.

At least there’s lots of video to show how not to play. We missed 10 fts which is not typical.
We gotta work on the breaking the press. It’s our Achilles heel this season.

imagine if Siakam had that Young/Doncic touch foul whistle...he'd literally be unstoppable

Lol dude did you watch the game? McCaw was a pylon in late game who got burned multiple times by Young and Nurse still shuffles the entire lineup around him as if he's LBJ. It's hilarious. :lol:

I know the start time is the exception because of MLK day, but having early afternoon games during work is pretty cool.

its a leap, you can tell. just watching him. dude is not rushing anything and plays within himself. its like he's playing the game and everything is in slow mo for him. thats when you know he's taken the leap.

He might actually be next year's starting SG, if he doesn't take over that role sometime in this season. FVV has to play better.

McCawful stealing the show again. This should be the celebration of Norm not how we avoided losing due to some scrub that slips and falls, stands plant and can't get open under pressure. He is the ultimate choke job.
