PG Raptors - East Group B 1-0

[ShootingtheJ]

Playing defense for once was fun.

1) The Bucks have never used Lopez on offense the right way, but this is getting ridiculous. Post him up when Giannis is on the bench. He's useless beyond the three. Why can't they see that? He's actually decent as a post up player.


3) The Bucks refuse to post Giannis down low. They let him create at the top of the key or post him up 20 feet from the basket. Post him down low and let them double him and create from there. Another obvious move.

Umm, those guys clearly don't want to be banging in the post.

Even when healthy the Raptors are terrible. And they aren't healthy. Neither are we of course. Sloppy game but a win. 16 steals. Rollins injury didn't look serious but he'll likely be out a few days. Hopefully Khris didn't injure anything on the bench.

Khris broke his thumb while high fiving Giannis.
And 3 of his teeth while eating pop corn, he will need a surgery there too. And he is on concussion too cause he did a surgery hair implant too. His left shoulder is also scheduled for surgery cause he sleeps on it too much. When he comes back we will win it all

[JonHeist]

oh no, we covered the spread without dame or khris.... what a bad win!!!!

28% from 3 and took 56 of them against any other team we probably lose this game. Our shooting all year has been atrocious to many under 30% from 3 big reason we are losing games.

I'm only looking at the block and steals column. Nothing else exists

It’s a start. Now string some of these together.

Glad to know we can at least beat a G-league team.

Please get these hacks off the team immediately.

Yea, it's definitely the fault of the Bucks org and coaches for the massively strong, skilled, and tall guy not going into the post to get easy buckets. I'm sure they're the ones insisting that same guy without a jump shot to shoot jumpers every night.

Post ups are grossly inefficient basketball. Giannis at the top, followed by a screen, is the most effective play in the game.

I'm not sure I understand the posts. he has a 61% TS and has reduced his 3s by 75% and was super efficient tonight. do we think he would be more more efficient 8 feet from the basket with no where to go?

[drone3]

Rollins has moved up the stack, deserves a spot

Also, they Post up Giannis alot down low and in the high post every game. This game was not different and is part of the reason he only took 12 shots and everyone else jacked up 3s.

Plus, they try to Post up Lopez but he gets push out of the paint to easily which leads to fall away bricks(mostly). If he was a better passer out of the post then that would be one thing but he is not. Right now, the best option for Lopez would be as the lone big who rolls to the basket instead of pop.

Young fellas who grew up dreaming of NBA Cup glory were always going to bring it. New world order.

Something I just learnt - AJ Green has yet to take a two point shot this season.

Know your role?

If he can have some ability to get inside and score we have a player.

Rollins is intriguing. Looks an NBA player.

[JEIS]

Putting 94 shots up is a step in the right direction... Maybe shoot better than 28% from the 3 though. They have been averaging like 83 shots per game... Even had a 74 shot game.
