OT: The Official Toronto Raptors Thread

Would've liked to see them play harden for real and not like little bitches. They could have done a great job. Much better option than giving them open corner 3's. Oh well.
 
Raps were up 3 when Serge came in. And for some insane reason nurse left him in for 9 painful minutes.
 
Really annoyed with nurse.

They brought all their starters in and he still kept that malfunctioning bench unit out there and they shot up 10.

Just not good coaching. Not against a team this good.

Problem of course is the defensive scheme expels a shit ton of energy. They're literally running around frantically basically going 3 on 4 after doubling harden. Guys are gassed and need those extended breaks.

I agree though. Brutally coached game all around.

Eh scheme is fine by me.
 
Frustrating game. But Houston’s refusal to take easy 2s is almost comical.
 
Losing that game due to bad bench decisions is a real piss off.

Gasol +11
Ibaka -19

OG +6
Norm -13
 
Nurse cost them this one. Can't win many games giving up that many points. The gameplan was the fear harden and they sacrificed a lot of their great defense and energy to do it.

On to next game.

Meh.

I'll take chances with McLemore firing open 3s all day

Wide open corner 3s have a much higher success rate than the average 3. I would not take those chances no matter who is shooting them really. Love the balls of nurse but this one didn't work out. He should have bailed mid-game. They were exhausted from frantically running around and gave up a shit ton of offensive rebounds on top of that. It just straight up didn't work.

They're a much better team than Houston. They shouldn't have to do anything this drastic. It cost them.
