Does C.J. Miles ever miss?

That's twice we've tipped a pass, almost came up with a steal, and Miles caught the ball off the tip and drained a three.

So freakin' frustrating. Even if just one of those times we do come up with the steal, we're still up by nine right now.

Man what a freaking lucky three

We are playing well, but Raptors won't go away.

Our 5 starters are solid. We just need a ****ing bench

C.J. Miles has almost single-handily kept the Raptors in the game. He's making every three he throws up. That last one was wide-open, but it came off a broken play where Paul George came 98% of the way to an incredible steal, but the ball trickles out to Miles who drains a three.

yet another stupid rotation decision- it doesn't matter what the context is, we always bring grant in as the first 'big'. now he's in for adams, and we have no rim protection + melo is responsible for pnr defense. what happens? derozan takes the baseline without any big help. poeltl easy put back. grant's not a shooter, he doesn't do anything on offense. it makes no sense to play him AT CENTER next to carmelo anthony when we can have patterson there, or heck even dakari.

billy shows too much flexibility in some situations with his rotations but the things he seems to be dogmatically attached to hurt our team. grant is not a small ball center. especially next to carmelo anthony.

Ibaka looks slow and old. A shell of what he once was.

It started his last two years with OKC. Basically, this is the fourth straight season where he's inexplicably drastically fallen off athletically in his mid to late 20s.

That break was a perfect example of strengths of Dre and Russ. Great hands on defense and could literally just toss the ball and let Russ run it down.

C.J. Miles is 6/9 from three. I can't remember him missing three times. That has to be a boxscore error.

Here we go.

Well this offensive output was missing most of the season.

This isn't the 4th?

This is where Toronto being on the second night of a back to back should play in our favor.

Well, this time the PG+bench lineup is working out a lot better with Huestis in instead of Abrines.

Adams got hammered on that play!

Raptors missing a lot of open looks, but our offense has been amazing
