He had a good game but the late game plays for him have to end.

he was. siakam, fvv, boucher have all been better than lowry this season. he's cost us big time in every close game we've been in so far this season.
I got flamed for saying he's literally costed us 4 games in the clutch this year.
As much as it would be good for the tank, they’re not ending up with a 20% win percentage unless Lowry is traded or Siakam gets hurt.PrinceAli wrote:Ramed Nazored wrote:PrinceAli wrote:I’ve lost count of how many double digit leads we’ve blown in just these 10 games.

Look at what he’s been given to work with man.
The bench features Bembry, Baynes, Len, Yuta, a rookie, Watson, Thomas, TD, and Norm, who’s been bad.
This is not a good roster. Thats evidenced by the change in the rotation every night.
Sure the roster has its problems but this roster is better than a 20% win percentage team. We’re sitting below all the crap teams of the league and a lot of these teams have far worse rosters

He would fix so many of our issues. He would become our defacto #1 option, and primary ball handler. He would take pressure off Pascal and let him settle into that #2 role, and he would opens up FVV game up even more, allowing him to defend point guards and being a deadly off ball threat.
Cade
FVV
Oladipo
OG
Siakam
the new post-Giannis dream

They don’t care when we’re good, but when we’re bad they do

I don’t think Nurse is on the hot seat nor should he be. As far as I’m concerned he can focus on growth this year, too.

This. Siakam has become Spicy P again, maybe even better with his passing game. We are wasting his good games trying to figure out who will show up with him from game to game. End games are not his thing, or maybe it's a luck thing. I swear he will turn this around.
Kyle has been crap again. This game he was just a hot mess. Some careless turnovers, poor shot selection and fouls. Kyle over the last two shows up for a quarter and then fades out again. Not sure if there is something going on in his personal life or what, but he looks like a stranger out there.
Why does Toronto struggle so much to close games? They stagnate so much with two PGs and Siakam on the court. Kyle should be leading them more.

We played well though and saw a lot of positives. We definetly didnt deserve that L. Still gotta keep moral up and a great step up from the beginning of the season
