Hunter questionable, No AJ - let the speculation begin.

Thanks for putting this together, jayu.
(I merged my mistaken thread with your pre-existing one in the wrong direction.)

Thoughts on this lineup?
I actually like it...even if Bogi deserves to be a starter. Raptors are always a tough matchup. Wes gives us toughness and defense.

Yeah...it's interesting that Quin has still resisted the urge to start Okongwu next to Capela and just stagger their minutes after the opening.

This is an awful 3rd quarter. No one can score. No one can defend.

Quin should have gone big with CC and OO to start the 3rd and sit Wes.

I gotta be honest, the record is terrible but the caliber of play isn't.
Last night, guys seemed to just run out of gas. We played an 8-man rotation (out of necessity) with the Mat(t)hews boys each logging in less than 20 minutes each.
That's a huge burden for Saddiq, Trae, DJ and Capela to carry with limited bench contributions.
Add Jalen, DeAndre and AJ back to this rotation, and we're much more equipped to handle the Raps stable for 6'9" forwards.

Play bigger with Okongwu and give Bruno a few spot minutes if not not to be a bruiser and use his 6 fouls. We play too small for too many minutes.

Thoughts on this sequence?
Valid criticism of the tweeter, or should the big man reasonably focus on finishing strong at the hoop and drawing the foul?

Raptors Big 3 combined for 82 points.
Hawks stuck with only 6 useful players right now.
That's why Atlanta lost.
