OG trying to do too much. He's best as a 3 and D with occasional bursts on great matchups.

Tatum needs to get back while complaining about missed calls.

toronto's starting 5 are all really good defenders

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything

as I predicted, scarce minutes for Pritchard and Nesmith. Feel bad for those two. Hope they get moved at the deadline to a team that will deservedly start them.

Re: Home Opener – Raptors @ Celtics – 7:30PM, Fri, Oct. 22, 2021
How are they throwing several bodies to deny the drive and we let them drive to the basket like it's a drill? Wtf am I watching right now
Good assessment:

Richardson and Grant shouldn't be playing more minutes than Romeo and Nesmith.

Anunoby has done quite the pushing on offense, too, still doesn't excuse what we're watching.

Not loving the defense rn, effort's there, but we always seem a step behind

assuming:
a) grant is a better, more switchable defender
b) this game is being played at a really fast pace. toronto is fast as hell. their center (precious) is fast as hell. grant is quicker than kanter
