At this point Thibs is who he is. You gotta blame the assistant coaches or Leon Rose for not making it a talking point.

I just had that thought a minute ago too when looking at Brunson taking free throws.

I thought to myself "He looks a little crispy"

Yeah, something feels off

We gave up a 13-0 run. Unacceptable. We should be up double digits.

They make 11 per game on average at 34%. Our coach is allowing teams to shoot threes like this because he wants the paint locked down at all costs. This will continue to happen, teams will have outlier nights from three against us because it's 1 pass and open.


You know how I know these dudes suck at defense? They can’t even protect the paint :lol:

The one thing the coach is scheming them to do they can’t even do. Raps are killing is in the paint too. And you really think they can defend the 3? Lmao




They have 24 points in the paint, they have 27 points from the 3 point line. I'm really not sure why you're so willing to throw the whole team under the bus outside of OG, you're basically all alone with this take. Everyone can see it's 1 screen, and sometimes no dribble penetration but just a skip pass because the weak side guy is sinking down to help in anticipation of a drive.

The Raptors average 11 threes a game, they had 9 in that half.

Raptors average 11 of 33 from deep. They're 9 of 22. Our defense is designed to "force" teams to beat us from 3. Teams that don't even want to shoot 3s can't pass them up.

Exactly. They're taking what the defense gives: WIDE open 3's all night.

I would say some of the time not most. Maybe because the expectations are high. But offensively they go through stretches of trash play far too often. The run the raps went on the Knicks didn't score for over 3 minutes.

I think we come out strong here in the 3rd. We went cold there for a little bit which gave the Craptors some momentum. Should be going into a double digit lead into the 4th.
