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

toronto's starting 5 are all really good defenders

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.

Love seeing Rob Williams on the perimeter and Schroder protecting the basket. Banner 18!

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.

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
