Are Bruno or Bebe dressed? (doesn't matter because Casey only plays them with 1.5 min left)

The problem is not guys getting through on weak PnR defense, it's that they're getting straight drives to the basket from EXTREMELY weak PnR defense. No time to rotate, not because you can't get there necessarily (first Bennett dunk MAYBE) but because it's a quick play that has a high chance in resulting in a foul or giving a wide open pass to the guy you're guarding. That's a PnR defense problem.
And he helped on Wiggins but fouled because it was one of the most athletic guys in the league getting a wide open drive.
2 of those were cuts where he wasn't even looking at the play where he should have rotated to protect the rim. The Wiggins one he again wasn't watching the play then looks over seeing Wiggins driving. Wiggins read the D and saw JV not paying attention and drove pass DeRozan after he gambled. The Wiggins one I can give a pass on but the other two I can't, since he just had to make a simple rotation to protect the rim.
I'm a JV fan but I'm going to let it slide when he makes an obvious miscue as the last line of defense.
I know you gave him a pass on the play, but really? Wiggins didn't drive pass DeMar because he saw Val "napping". He drove past DeMar because DD made the stupid play.
I realize you listed both reasons. But at least make it look like you're giving DD the majority of the blame there.

Is Ross the best player on the Raptors?

Nice pass from JV to find Ross at the 3PT line. Though everything before that was odd, kept backing down. Wonder why he didn't spin baseline. It was available.

We've absolutely owned this team for almost a decade now. 20 of 21. Amazing given how bad the Raptors have also been in that time.

I'm going to go ahead and say it was BBIQ, waiting for T-Wolves to collapse. It's not true, but I'm going to believe it anyways.

watch the replays please. both bennets dunks he was in no place to help. he was coming full speed from 3 point line ffs...
Hello that fact that he wasn't even paying ATTENTION TO WHERE THE BALL WAS IS INEXCUSABLE.
