But we’re going to win enough games over the RS so we’ll keep hearing the “we’re X-Y and haven’t even played our best ball yet!” nonsense all the way up to the playoffs until said skewering happens, probably at the hands of Miami or Boston again.

Meeting guys 40 feet from the rim. Bigs on the perimeter and guards down low. Lunging for steals as design. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's not just a roster/scheme mismatch; remember the Raptors were kinda **** on D once they lost their elite guys.

May have to try Thanasis too. At least he plays hard

No idea why Dre hasn't seem any playing time yet. We need some more step in our D.

Do we at least lead the league in steals? Top 5? I have no idea.

I've never seen that before either, of course the one time you see it, it goes against the Bucks.

I normally don't care about announcers and feel that most fans criticize them way too much, but Harlan is really getting to me tonight.

Every halfway decent Miami play makes him achieve climax. Dude takes one step sideways and hits a shot and he's all like, "BOOOMMM! HEAT CULTURE ON DISPLAY! I AM FULLY ERECT!"

Giannis slices through the lane for a dunk on a move that zero players can make and it's, "Giannis with the layup."

Who can defend this defensive scheme, and how does the coach not see it more clearly than anyone else? It is the definition of insanity. Is AJJ hurt

It's very Jason kidd in terms of running around in futility and stopping no one.

So just leave Kevin Love wide open. Our defenders are garbage now. Pat and Mids were never close to this bad

Kevin Love shot 33% from distance last year and is shooting 30% this year. Meanwhile, we are on pace to give up 68 points in the paint. As stated previously, they were, they just didn't look like it because we had rim erasers waiting behind them. We're using sound team defenders as POA defenders, and then we're asking why it isn't working out. Hmmmmmm.

lol. They weren’t this bad. This is ridiculous.

You leave love open against us he’s making them. Sorry. Seen it too many times

Ok! Cover those threes and let them waltz down the lane instead! That 20th ranked DRTG looking real great! But as long as Kevin Love doesn't kill his with the whole 10ppg he had with Miami in last years playoffs we're doing the right thing.

Middleton had zero lateral movement on defense. He cringed when he even thought about sliding his feet

Giannis takes off at the free thrown and does a 360 dunk and Harlan sounds like he just woke up from a nap.

Lowry hits an uncontested lay up....UP HIGH AND DOWN HARD!!!

Yeah I'm exaggerating obviously, but I agree lol

We either need a roster overhaul, a new coach, or for Griff to tone down this silly pressure, over committing scheme.

Ugly Rotations, ugly defense, ugly games.

Speaking of ugly, how are ya liking the court?

PG Graveyard · Post #318 » by **PG Graveyard** » Wed Nov 29, 2023 2:02 am

Just leave Love open. He’s a bad shooter

drdrG · Post #319 » by **drdrG** » Wed Nov 29, 2023 2:03 am

Giannis just needs to put the ball above is head in transition and go right so they can stop wrapping him up

I'm sorry but grabbing someone with no play for the ball when they are already airborne should be a tech.
