Biggest problem for this team was going to be Ibaka playing crunch time minutes in the playoffs. That shouldn't be an issue any longer (assuming Nurse actually has some kind of clue what he's doing with Gasol, which based on today...he doesn't).

I still can't get over that Ibaka was starting instead of Gasol. This better be the last time.

2. Nurse shouldn't be subbing in 5 bench players into the game at once.

Yup

Both obvious enough for anyone to see, let's hope Nurse isn't as stubborn as Casey.

Did that Tech actually go in our favour?

Raptor first.

Matt's drunk

As a raptor, the raptor part is left unsaid... Letting the educated viewer fill the gap

Gasol: "Is this how you guys do 2 for 1's around here?"

Assistant coach: "Yeah, we just pray Lowry makes it. Statistically speaking, the ball either goes in or not so 50/50 chance."

Knox is so ugly man. Looks like someone smashed him in the face with a frying pan.

Nurse will figure it out pretty quick Gasol needs to start. He just knows to play. Plays ahead of the game instead of reactionary like how Ibaka is.

Also I think Nurse knew this already but has to play nice nice with Ibaka since hes having a good year.

The way he gets into his stance plus his wingspan makes me not want to give up on him. Also a good person/teammate.

OG's problems are all mental...he needs more experience, and needs to study the game. Too often he makes dumbass decisions.

Norm and og do not have the same problems. Norm has a consistent skills et. He didn't get minutes because of the rotation and chemistry of the bench unit last year. OG's struggles are not like norms because they are due to his lack of skill set. His problems are he's just not good. It's not minutes. It's not confidence. He literally can't do a lot of thinga. His iq and vision sucks, his handle sucks, his coordination sucks, he can't shoot consistently. He has no skills. He's raw
Thata why he sucks. Hes also woefully out of position at the 4. He doesn't rebound, or block shots, doesn't move wotjoit the ball. He should be developing in the gleague if the raptors are going all in, he shouldn't be getting minutes. It's frustrating.

Gasol will be starting soon. Today was his first day with the team so it's expected for him to come off he bench till he gets more accustomed.

What are you talking about we are on cruise control not even playing our best lineup and Kawhi is rusty, we about to open up 20 pts on them next half

Seriously. These game threads are a struggle to read with so many over reactions.

People underrating this trade seem to have forgotten that Marc Gasol was a franchise player on a successful team for a decade in the NBA, he draws attention and plays at an elite level all the time, there's no substitute for that.

Kevin Knox is not easy on the eyes.

wow
