TheItalianStallion Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Good D today. Maybe now things will come together on that side of the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now things will come together on that side of the ball?  I wouldn't necessarily call it good but it was better. Morris and Porter clearly make a difference. And Mahinmi had a solid game. But the Raptors were still getting too many easy twos and open threes and it turned into a major run in the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth. They just couldn't hit the three ball. CJ Miles and Kyle Lowry are the only good three balls on that team. Ibaka is solid for a big, but when he's your third best perimeter shooter, you've got a weakness. We did a good job exploiting the weakness by playing off and playing zones during the first half, but they stopped rotating and cutting off the rim in the third and that plus all of the bad turnovers caused our big lead to disappear as a result.

Warhead36 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Beal and Porter should both be All Stars this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The oft-maligned Frazier and Mahinmi each had good games today. My only complaint with Mahinmi was some poor touch on his finishes around the rim. Other than that, he didn't force things, rebounded well, made his FTs, and played good defense without fouling.  Frazier was under control today. And he was a pest on defense. It was a nice, gritty veteran performance. I like his floor presence. He settles things down and makes a difference even with his shot not falling. We can tread water during a Wall injury if Frazier plays like that and Beal continues to take over the reins for the offense.  Mike Scott and Jason Smith are good players. Oubre is going to be a beast of a three and D wing. Meeks is a deadeye who could spot start for Beal if he should get hurt. Sato can fill in the cracks on the perimeter. We've got 12 good players and I think Brooks can run a successful 10-11 man rotation. I think the bench will come together over the next month and end up being pretty good.

Destino Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Beal has scored 40, 36, and 38 in the last three games.  3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I still wanna see Beal improve his FT %. He should be AUTOMATIC like a Curry type but he's like, less than 80%? Unacceptable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 We've had breakdowns on the perimeter that have killed us, but it's a major problem that John is our best rim protector. No defense is going to be any good when their PG leads the team in blocks. I appreciate what Gortat does on offense, but he kills us on defense. We need to quietly explore Gortat trades. And we desperately need a YOUNG center with the athleticism to control the paint. I wish we could get Nerlens Noel.

( I'm not talking about the end game hero ball stuff though. That can stop). It's the defense. Toronto hit 3! Triples last night. That won't happen again all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 No way we ever get 3 All-Stars (unless LBJ goes west). I think Beal deserves to be at least our second, but too early to declare Otto an AS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I remember many of you suggesting the Celtics wouldn't be that good, and may have even taken a step back. Â They look like the one seed out of the east to me. Â 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are literally hoping for injuries to somehow show you were right about Boston.  They are better than last year and better than us. And Kyrie looks like he made that leap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
