This is exactly why the bench w/ Fred was so successful and fun to watch. We're back to 2016 basketball.

well the bench sans fred are playing starters now as the wiz shortened their rotation. no more facing frazier, sotoransky and meeks.

they are playing wall, beal, oubre, porter..starters and it isnt fun to watch.

Logically, the longer the series goes the tide will turn to our favor. There must be some drawback for not playing their bench while we still play ours.

Raptors lack pride and grit. They always have to some degree. It’s just more apparent in the playoffs. Wizards have been punking them constantly. Oubre, Wall, Morris, Beal. And they simply take it like a good little school girl. No response. No mental toughness. Even if they make it passed this round (and that’s a big if) they will lose resoundingly in the next.

To all the VC haters is DeMar still the greatest Raptor of all time? Lol! Y’all can take your BS to St. Elsewhere

Also end the Demar plus bench unit. Net rating of -52.9 in 4 games. Needs to mix that lineup with starters since Fred is not available and to give Kyle rest there.


THIS x100...How do you not play what's been your best unit the last 6 minutes of playoff games? Come on Case.

I think you're seeing the biggest impact on siakam and Jakob. The whole year the collective here has been sh*tting on JV in favour of Jakob. Despite us JV defenders imploring people to see that Jakob was playing against inferior competition, no one was willing to listen!

I am a little surprised by Siakam's ineffectiveness. I thought his D and constant motor would translate well!
