PG: Raptors lose against the zone and get blown out

HumbleRen · Post #41 » by **HumbleRen** » Mon Jan 19, 2026 6:59 am

This team is going to get obliterated in a playoff setting lol. We have 0 answers against the zone and playing in the halfcourt when they take away our transition game.

We just have too many limited shooters and our 2 best players aren’t able to generate enough rim pressure with the ball in their hands.

Wonder what Bobby is going to do for this deadline and off season, he’s got a lot of work to do.

Scottie is next if something isn't done soon. Playing out of position against bigger bodies takes their toll eventually.

Worst thing about this game is CMB was putting up a generational performance and was taken out by a clear foul that wasn't even called

We are at 120.6 ORTG in 23 games with RJ and 108.3 ORTG in 21 games without him.

We are the 3rd best offensive in the league with him and 2nd worst offensive team without him.

The sample size continues to grow with this trend in tact, it really shouldn't be this drastic but the difference in not having him has been the same as the Nuggets not having Jokic lmao both team are around 11 ORTG worse in the games without each of them.

Yes, keep being delusional and denying the obvious and enjoy having JaKobe Walter, Gradey Dick, Ochai Agbaji, Jamison Battle, Alijah Martin, AJ Lawson all on the same team playing behid RJ Barrett.

it's very obvious, only a big C could injure CMB's thumb, definitely wouldn't happen if he were playing PF

Ayton 25pts 10-10 FG. Enough said.

I don't think that's right. The Raptors have a lot of wins and ownership is looking to make a win-now move to surround Scottie Barnes (face of the league) and Brandon Ingram (the only #1 scoring option in the NBA) with a third star. That has to mean this Raptors team is on the precipice of greatness.

Quickley is a complete non-factor and RJ and Poeltl continue to be sorely missed.

ATLTimekeeper · Post #54 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Mon Jan 19, 2026 1:28 pm

Since Nov 15 3PT%

Walter 38%
Ingram 38%
Barrett 38%
Quickley 33%
Mamu 33%
Shead 28%
Battle 27%
Dick 26%
Barnes 26%
CMB 24%
Abgaji 24%

It's been rough.

Battle, Lawson, Agbaji, Martin, Walter, Dick

That’s our wing core. Absolutely disgraceful.

How do you even run a functional offense with this?

Whats the chances we are a .500 team in the next few weeks here?....Injuries killing us again this year...Maybe its time to look at our guys and ask if this core is a injury prone core since we put it together....

How many games has the starting lineup played together vs injury time? I mean this team just can't stay healthy together....People here want to say "Don't trade for this player they are injury prone" .....I think our guys might be as well...

keep playing them, coach, no matter what!

Meanwhile Battle & Lawson have the best 3 point shooting % on the team.

Yeah......the reffing was bad. Jack kept saying "they are letting them play", but the truth was or guys were afraid to play defense on Luka because he foul baits & gets a quick whistle no matter what. That's not "letting them play". That's giving the Lakers a huge advantage in an otherwise physical game.

BI would have been at the FT line all night if he was given the privledge of the Lebron/ Luka whistle.
