Patrick McCaw is faking sick to save us from watching McCaw.
A true martyr.

Forget Terrence Davis, should Patrick McCaw be playing over Matt Thomas?

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
Out offense and defense are excellent without Mccaw, yet we're led to believe by his fan boys he's a key reason for our success. Mccaw is like Mark Madsen on the 3-peat Lakers except Nurse is giving him Robert Horry minutes.

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
Not seeing McCaw’s 0-1-0 statline in 25 minutes of action the past two games has been a blessing. It won’t last long so I’ll enjoy it while I can. I’m sure he’ll be our Giannis stopper on tuesday.

Ya letting guys beat you with ease and giving up layups are less favorable shots. You must have no played

It's an obvious no. Thomas is so much more useful on offence, and his defence is usually pretty decent (tonight it was not). Thomas is the definition of a sharpshooter and he can really help the team when we go through offensive droughts. I really hope he takes some of McCaw's minutes going forward (while TD takes the rest), but unfortunately I think Nick will be loyal to McCaw. It's crazy to me.

McCaw supporters literally have one thing to cling to when trying to defend him and will defend that one thing to the death. There a better players on the bench that he's taking minutes from. It's pretty straightforward. I understand the logic behind why nurse plays him but it's not worth it at the end of the day.
People will argue "well guess what we went on a winning streak with mccaw so I guess that means nurse knows what he's doing." we also just destroyed Indiana without him. Plus we're missing norm and Gasol. Does that mean those guys are now meaningless too?
Point is mccaw shouldn't be playing end of story. Make Davis run point full time, experiment with other dudes like Matt thomas who provide more upside and actually have a useful elite skill that can make a difference in the playoffs . Enough is enough. Mccaws defense/point guard skills are not good enough to justify his minutes played. I honestly feel like we're the only team that can get away with playing him that much while still being good. That says a lot about the talent on our team.

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
I had the same thought playing McCaw is like Master Roshi's turtle shell or Goku's rock density wristband and boots.
Randle McMurphy wrote:New theory: Nurse is only playing McCaw 25 minutes a game over TD, Thomas and like 4 other better players on the roster so the Raps can actually play some close games to prepare them for playoffs. Letting them play 5 on 5 on offense against other playoff teams like Indiana would be far too easy, so he keeps it to 4 on 5. McCaw is essentially like Piccolo’s weighted clothing from DBZ.

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
With McCaw playing we can barely beat Brooklyn
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
What happened to McCaw the last 2 games?
Was he injured?
Boy, I am loving the fact he is not playing. I honestly don't miss him at all. McCaw can backup TD2 if the situation calls for, otherwise he can sit with Brissett for now.

Re: Patrick McCaw is not a NBA caliber player
There are 11 raptors that are clearly and unarguably significantly better than McCaw.
McCaw might deserve the 12th spot, but might not. Any of brisset Watson miller might be able to beat him out for that spot too.

But he's not purely a back-up point guard. It's not my fault people are too stupid to understand that he's used as a fill-in for three positions on the depth chart. Also, Davis does very well off-ball, scoring off of cuts and open 3s. If he's going to be getting a lot of quality burn on this team in our back-court it'll be as an off-ball player beside FVV or Lowry (which, you know, if you've actually been paying attention you'd see).

The fact that you can justify using a player that can't shoot as an off ball player is the problem with your logic.
