Scientist here but this is a good first half for people who say Poeltl was overpaid to watch.

Missing our starting center vs a massive rockets team...
And people are shocked we are taking more 3s and not getting a ton of rebounds?

60% 3pt shooting isn't sustainable....on average it will be half of that, so Raptors would actually be getting blown out

And on average Houston isn’t grabbing 10 offensive boards or hitting a half court shot


on average Raptors are letting opposing teams score 120+ ppg....that's not a winning strategy, and it's on pace to continue this game.

why are they all going one on three. Taking turns with dumb drives going into the lane and not passing it around.

We’ve made a **** Ron of 3s, scored 63 points and are down 7 and allowed 70 points. Yo man this team sucks Darko sucks. Dick shouldn’t even be getting minutes right now, tighten up the rocking rotation.

God damn 70 points at the half. We dropped 63 but our 3 point shooting was insane. Interested to see how both teams come out in the 3rd
