I like Scal but he tries too hard at times. Cuts into Gorman when he's speaking and speaks far too long into the next play. Both things that can improve with more experience.

Too bad about Larkin being out. He's really been playing well lately. Could have played well on Van Vleet.

Seriously, if I was the Raptors this off season I would look to move Lowry and keep VanVleet.

It’s crazy to think that we actually miss larkins defense more then his offense. He’s a pesky man to man defender and he’s fantastic at picking up the ball handler full court. Huge loss for this game.

how is this possible? No one knows. It's baffling.

is rozier really this good? Yes.

what makes the celtics so good even when irving is out? Brad Stevens magnifies the remaining talent.

Twice in three games, Rozier has let an opposing guard blow by him in the open floor. He's way too athletic to let that happen.

I remember a time when Raptor fans were trying to say OG was actually good.

Baynes is such an underrated pickup for us this year. I love the tough physicality he brings the team. Hated how soft we were last year.

At some point, it just becomes a matter of reps. So many big minute player have been out for so long, that the guys who remained where either going to sink or swim. Fortunately for us, they've mostly swam.
