NBA Thread 2019-20 Season

[jncuse]

The Raptors played extremely sloppy since it was 40-33. I marked an asterisk on the possession that had a sloppy turnover when they had a chance to go up 9 or 10. Everything turned after that.

 

[Alsacs]

Shaq is right it’s going to be Ibaka/Powell vs. Smart/Brown.
Tatum and Lowry will get there’s.

 

[Cusefan0307]

The Raptors need more Ibaka/Powell and less Gasoline/Anunoby.

 

[jncuse]

Will Nurse finally start Ibaka to start a half. I doubt it.

But I would like if he went a 6 minute spurt to start. Then came in for 4 minutes crossing the quarters. Then the final 6 minute of the game.

I don’t know if a player has ever fallen further over the course of season than Siakam.

What’s wrong with him?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Gasol was -20 in the first half. It was even worse than I thought.

He’s got to be hurt. He can’t even get around Daniel Theis.

 

[jncuse]

Siakam has a bit of a strange gallup right now.
He could be hurt. But he is lacking in confidence as well.

He was the 2A/2B player last year for the Raps in the playoffs, and did well in the Finals. I would just take that -- teams don't even feel a need to double him anymore.

I can’t put my finger on why I think this, but he seems depressed to me.

 

[Alsacs]

Gasol was -20 in the first half. It was even worse than I thought.

I thought that because he was taken out when it was 19-7 and then came back in when Toronto was up 5 and Boston ended the half up 4.

Gasol is killing their offense because Boston isn’t respecting his offense.

Toronto has won the 3rd quarter every single Game of this series.
Boston has won the 4th quarter every game of this series.

Gasol actually has a great NET rating over the course of the season (and a fair bit better than Ibaka at least early in the first half of the series). It's a source of great debate on the Raptors board, because many (including me) want him to play less. He is so frustrating to watch right now.

 

[jncuse]

SMFH at Gasol doing a post play to start the half.

 

[jncuse]

Put an asterisk beside Kemba missing those two FT's. Could have extended it to 11, now down to 7.

 

[samspann1]

Walker horrible to start the half

 

[Alsacs]

Take Kemba OUT.
My god he is brutal

 

[samspann1]

where was the foul on Theis?

 

[jncuse]

Was that a walk on Brown? Not sure.

 

[samspann1]

what a DUMB play by Lowry

 

[samspann1]

Should have been a shooting foul

 

[jncuse]

Grab the damn board Gasol.

 

[Alsacs]

Play Langford, Wanamaker or Semi and take out Kemba.

 

[samspann1]

Play Langford, Wanamaker or Semi and take out Kemba.

he's been remarkably bad today

 

[samspann1]

LOL at Tatum getting picked by Gasol. Be better, Tatum.

 

[Alsacs]

This feels like a Syracuse game we are
dominating the opponent but our own stupidity keeps the opponent close.

Toronto is raising you with our own sloppy play, and Gasol
