Well we've seen other teams battle it out without their star players, such as Chicago without D Rose AND Deng(traded), The Clippers (CP3 missed about 5 weeks), and the Hawks without Horford.
We are down right now with some key guys either out or playing hurt (2Patt, Amir, JV). It is definitely unfortunate to see our front court so depleted, but I would love to see our reserves step up. Here's a chance for Fields (if he is given time) to earn back some minutes, as well as Hansbrough.
Lets see if the Raptors can pass this tough test.I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada

Your negativity is giving me a headache.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Are you even [paying attention when you are watching guys? The guys drove it hard a ton of times, but sometimes there is NO PLACE to drive it to. Its the NBA, teams are good.
Toronto sucked last night. Derozan, is OFTEN hung out to dry, which leaves nothing BUT long 2's or a violation.
Stop this nonsense.

With 15+ seconds left, there's zero reason to take that long 2. None whatsoever. Keep passing the ball and look for another option.

GLF wrote: View PostBut I also think the lack of movement hurts Derozan. At the end of games they give him the ball and everyone just stands there and looks for Derozan to do it all. It's very hard to get to the basket when that's the case. Especially since he doesn't have the greatest first step and ball handling skills.
But that doesn't explain the first 36 minutes of the game.

Nilanka wrote: View PostI can agree with that. It seems to be a team-wide affliction. Standing around in the dying minutes of a close game. It's like fear-induced paralysis, and the guy who happens to have the ball is forced to do something solo.

That said, Salmons wasn't half-bad in crunch time yesterday. It was just he rest of the time he was useless."Stop eating your sushi."

You ship out Lowry and DeRozan (that's what would've been necessary to tank most likely), and the team is going to be bad for two or 3 more seasons after this one. Wiggins isn't LeBron or Durant (and even they took until year 3 to have competitive teams).
And that's if you even get Wiggins (or whoever the best player in the draft is going to be).
Only counterpoint is that it is not clear if MU was trying to tank or not when he trade Rudy.
