No.

I was at the game last night...man Kyle was awful. DD and Joseph were the only ones on offense not playing like complete buffoons.

[o2cui2i]

this could be ugly!

[Effit]

Here we go with the first quarter Craptors yet again.

Derozan 1/9

[Laika]

DeRozan is theeee weakest link

[dineke]

phew I thought curry got a concussion

[43211234]

Holy f*** Derozan is horrible.

 

Even if you don't look at analytics you'd think it would be more apparent to anyone who watches games.

I know nothing about basketball or analytics, and he looks like a plug to me. Can't really shoot 3's and also doesn't/can't really attack the rim. He just seems to take a bulk load of mid-range 2's, without a great shooting percentage.

 

I guess his best skill is getting to the line?

I have limited basketball knowledge of basketball and analytics but his elite ability to get to the line is the only thing that keeps him from being just a marginal bench player imo. He has improved his handles and he can attack the rim but everyone defends against that because he's a shooting guard who can't shoot. He's actually a decent passer though.

[Laika]

Is Nogueira legit? He looks very effective.

[Trouba95]

Man, Bebe is playing on another level! Lowry/Bebe is like Paul/Jordan

[43211234]

Yeah Nogueira has looked pretty good. I've seen him get lost on defence a few times but he has good hands and seems to be a pretty smart player.

[jays_fever]

Toronto has only turned the ball over 5 times this game, very impressive.

[dineke]

Curry is like God but real and better

[jays_fever]

Curry missed..cool

[dineke]

dechoke...

[dineke]

lowry's carrying this team, they're probably a lottery team without him

[Laika]

lowry's carrying this team, they're probably a lottery team without him

 

yeah but that's the whole sport

[Trouba95]

f***. Gotta make free throws man

[King]

lmao gg rip raptors

[dineke]

yeah but that's the whole sport

 

Yeah I know I just wanted to rip Derozan again.

[Swervin81]

Lowry is the man. Almost singlehandedly won this game... well, okay, Bebe really did well too. Him and Lowry have been gold on the lob connection.

 

Can some idiot GM please pay DeMar stupid money this offseason? He's James Harden without a jumper.

First-person thoughts.

 

-Absolute autism from either Casey or Lowry, whoever drew up the final full possession. You don't go for two and try and foul with GSW in the bonus. They just foul you and don't let you shoot a three. Put your destiny in your own hands.

-Lowry is incredible. He was essentially indistinguishable from Steph tonight.

-Run some more plays for Carroll. They think he's Demar or something. He's a spot up shooter. But Casey doesn't run plays, I forgot.

-Nogueira is legit. Looks surprisingly comfortable/fluid.

-Demar's shot selection was very good tonight, he drew lots of fouls and he only took guarded shots when his upfake actually provided separation. He looked like an above-average 3rd option to me tonight, better than most nights.

-Scola is, like, Bargs-level bad for me at this point.

-Watching Cory Joseph dribble is infuriating for some reason. He's always bouncing. He's so f***ing good though. Idk what happened at the end but it doesn't really matter, they would've fouled before we got a 3 pointer off. Game was over.

-This team really, really needs someone to take the load off of Lowry. Jack made a good point that when our backcourt (also known as Kyle Lowry) isn't scoring, we really struggle. It's hard to depend on one guard in this league. Even Curry has Klay and Draymond. God, Draymond is the perfect fit for this team.

-God/Curry knows why but I read the comments on a reaction to the game, someone actually made a good point though. Wonder if our slow starts are related to Scola starting. Think our 1st quarters might be better with 2Pat in there. Just please get a legitimate power forward holy s***.
