Difference Between Professional Team and One Coached by Doc 

Post#21 » by Ranma » Sun Feb 3, 2019 10:16 pm

The Raptors are still executing and playing hard despite being up by 23 points late in the game while Doc's teams either let the foot off the gas with big leads or don't come prepared to play at all. This is embarrassing.

Asking everyone on twitter and I’m seeing nothing about Shai being hurt at all. Why the hell did he not see the floor in the 4th but the rest of the starters came back in?

Comments must of been about the first quarter I don’t know why you keep mentioning it when they went on a counter run to tie the game. In the second quarter to now Bradley has been getting smoked on the match up. Leonard’s not even working hard for his shots.


I mentioned because it happened. Boom. Minus-7 in like 2 minutes. It's not like we had alternatives, certainly not Scott.

And expecting Bradley or anyone to shut down a Kawhi Leonard or any of the top guys in the league is unrealistic. They "torch" everybody, esp with the "no touch"/no handchecking rules these days.

Bradley finished minus-7 in 22 minutes, about the same as or better than everyoneone else. [Tobias was 5-18 with 3 TOs for minus-17. There's your scapegoat if you must.] Leonard turned out to have a pretty quiet night, 6-12. He was not the reason we lost. These guys are pretty good.

After starting the 3rd quarter, Shai got a blow with about 4 minutes left with 26 minutes already played, and we were down by 13. I'm sure he would have been back in if we had made a game of it but we never got closer than that. We were down 20 by the 11-minute mark of the 4th, boom.

I'm sure the thinking was to let him walk away with a good game in front of his family and hometown instead of sending him out there again in a 20-point flustercuck.

I’m sure he would of loved to play if fully healthy the rest of the guys went out there. Doc must really not believe Harris is hurt because he went out there hoping for a run.

The game went backwards in the 5 minutes once Shai left and we were down 100-80 with 11 minutes to go. I'm sure he would have come back at the 7 minute mark for a total of 33 minutes if we'd have clawed back into it.

But we just played 3 games in less than 72 hours, and will have flown almost 3000 miles on 3 flights when we play Charlotte on Tuesday, a game we stand to win.

I think it was a good call to wave the white flag today, a game we didn't stand to win even without this brutal schedule.

We had a better chance with Scott because he’s taller and it was harder for Leonard to try and bully Scott. I’m not even blaming Bradley for not slowing the guy down but with the adjustments like starting Harrell you would think we would of also tried to go bigger on the wings. Options aren’t all there but mix it up.

Leonard is a in the flow of the game player. He did just what he thought was needed to keep us at a distance and let his teammates shine.

I would understand the argument if he didn’t bring back every other starter for a 4 min stretch. He played Tobias who clearly dealing with a shoulder injury on a back to back blowout that he shouldn’t of played in the first place. The decision to bring them back in minus SGA was extremely confusing. Even if SGA is hurt why in the hell did he bring Harris back in? lol

I think that's true but FTR, pace Mr. Blue Ink, after a disastrous 42-28 2nd quarter, we played them pretty even the rest of the way, losing the 2nd half by only 4 points. We didn't quit.

I don't think we have anyone who matches up on Kawhi. Heightwise, it should have been Shai at 6'6" instead of Bradley at 6'2". Clearly Doc was shielding Shai from a spanking, and Avery was taking one for the team.

It's a different question. Shai's handling was logical, at least reasonable, not capricious.

As for Tobias, he only came in for less than 3 minutes--from 10:20 to 7:46. When the score didn't budge from down 20, up went the white flag: Sindarius came in for him. Had we made a dent, I'm sure Shai would have come in and played the last 7 minutes for a total of 33, about his limit even without the schedule.
