if we had fvv, ibaka and gasol instead of kemba, giannis and embiid we probably win the 4th.

I'll be completely honest ,

Pascal should've smashed Harden in the post.

Embiid Giannis and Pascal had no spacing.

Giannis should've been the center with Bam Adebayo at PF. Middleton at SF with Butler at SG and Lowry as the point.

Giannis
Bam
Middleton
Butler
Lowry

That's a suffocating line defensively, but still guys can make shots.

Team Giannis was packed with Eastern rivals. I don't think Nick was going to reveal what he'd do to put those players in positions to score. Too bad the two Raptors in the game didn't get it done offensively lol

Having Lowry in there was the right choice by Nurse. Kemba was the weakest link by far. Take him out and put in Butler, and that's game.

You just suggested worse spacing :lol:

Bam's range is the free throw line and Butler has been shooting the 3 as well as Giannis this year.

I wish Nicholas Nurse played Jimmy Buckets, Giannis, Emiid, Kemba and Middleton for the ENTIRE 4th quarter. Gas them all unnecessarily.

I thought Nurse would get some heat from playing a lot of Lowry.... lol

It's typical Nurse. He played two small guards (again). This time is Kemba and Lowry.

I thought Nurse could have played a strong SG/SF player like Butler to spread the floor. Giannis and Embidd can't work together. Giannis is pretty much non-existent.

*Sigh* Siakam should have scored with undersized Hardon on him. Siakam really choked on both iso possessions (ref bailed him out one of them with a foul call). Siakam needs to gain more muscles and strength with balance. The last low-post spin move was a bit embarrassing.

The Raptors were ugly offensively with Siakam and Lowry. Giannis didn't even attempt. I like my Raptors but I thought Nurse played a bit too much favoritism down the stretch. Just my honest view.

Harden isn't a horrible defender. He's actually quite good when he's trying.

Of the 5 on the court for Team LeBron, Harden was the worst defender.

Harden is not a quick defender but he is quite strong.

I thought he defended very well on Siakam in the post. The ref bailed out one of Siakam's off-balance attempts.
:oops:

Looking at the box score I was surprised to see Kyle only played 28 minutes...seemed more.
