Rolling small against these Rockets is just not the thing, man.

Yeah, but we can all acknowledge, that the problems are deeper than missing a big man?

How do you go from Yaks love interest to kind of being down on him so fas?

We probably win this game tonight with (healthy) Jak

We have got to lead the team in dumbest doubles leading to wide open shots

Raptors lacking in fundamentals combined with a strange composition of players.

Mamu and Barnes actually looks good.

It's the roster construction and personnel. We have four bad off ball defenders in IQ, RJ, Ingram and Gradey. The lack of defensive rebounding also doesn't help. Stop scapegoating Darko.

Well, maybe let’s start Ochai and bring RJ offf the bench. See if balance helps the team.

This one will sting if we waste an outlier shooting game like this

BI looks good too. And Barrett has been hitting his 3s.

He's played 5 mins this game, I'd say he needs to try and get out of the dog house first

Those three work, it's the other two.

Nice possession from Scottie. Not pretty, but he bulled his way into FTs, which is something. Good aggression.

Nice to see Scottie take it to the rim with that physicality

The starting line-up doesn't work.

Either IQ/Scottie/BI/CMB/Poeltl, or even better with Scottie/Ja'Kobe/BI/CMB/Sandro, which would really benefit Scottie. (Ochai is good off ball as well; he should also receive some consideration).

Regardless, IQ and RJ have been on the trade block for a while now. We could really use Suggs or Markkanen. I'd look for a temporary stop-gap measure while Yak is out, ie Orlando Robinson could help with the bad defensive rebounding.
