Game Thread: Raptors vs Hawks 16/1/15 @7:30 PM on TSN2

[Throwback24]

I feel like today is a statement game. Hello guys!

[VinBaker6]

we got it, you don't like JV

Lol what? He got pushed out to the 3pt line

Yes, that happens to a lot of people. If you actually watched more basketball than just the Raptors it happens all over the NBA, even to guys you'd consider stars

I completely disagree.

Amir and Ross are pretty bad

We must lead the league in 3s violations wtf

[Black Milk]

why aren't we trying to post up JV to see if that works?

[DG88]

The defense is there but the offense and some turnovers have hurt us so far

[Son Goku 25]

Jonas needs to do a better job fighting for a position in the post, he's catching is so far away that he can't do anything, good job by horford.

This is the type of game where JV should remain on the bench if he's not going to crash the boards and dominant the glass

It happens to jv alot

Sure, but it also happens to others. Need to understand the wider picture here. It's not just a JV thing.

That being said, JV needs to use his body as leverage to hold the position. He uses his off-arm, and it doesn't do anything. Use his lower body as an anchor.

ATL not playing great either. We had an oppurtunity early if we just scored. Nope. Now it's going to be us down 6-12 points all night long.

I thought Ross played pretty good defense

[PD28]

If only we had Korver instead of Ross.. that would be amaazing.

We would be the clear favs out of the East, definitely ECF at least.

Oh hai

[FirstInkTDot]

Ross isn't helping himself at all.

[agentzero2010]

Ross was playing good D early on but as soon as he got blocked on a jump shot and missed a few open looks, he was immediately distracted and left Korver open. He needs to get mentally tougher. Still young and this is expected.

[DG88]

why aren't we trying to post up JV to see if that works?

Because he's getting doubled and he's not a great passer out of double teams. That Hawks team has scouted us well.

tbh, lowry should have shot with that open look. if i was amir, i would have expected lowry to shoot there and maintain position to get offensive rebound

They were trying, Antic was denying him possesion.

[Inklink]

Hansbro, exactly what we needed.
