They're a team who feast against bad/average teams but completely shit the bed against the top teams in the league.
Predicition - they're going to get blown out by GS by 20+ next game.Mamba Mentality

Notice how the Spurs started sniffing out our play style... Gay deflected/stole at least a couple of our drive/kick-outs. Because it became predictable.
That's when we have to counter and run plays that can keep the ball moving. But I don't think we have that in our bag of tricks, and I personally don't think Casey will ever be the coach to make that happen.

Its not all about shooting threes too, when they move the ball so many more driving lanes open up too.

But against a shorthanded Spurs team, I expected better.
Still, JV is crucial to the offence in spite of what some say, and obviously is basically the only good rebounder on the team. His screen setting was missed big time in this one, DeMar gritted out a good performance but he and Lowry both missed JV terribly. Plus, yeah, the rebounds. Holy crap, with the rebounds.
Wright was great, Poeltl was awesome, but these guys are still bench players and in crunch time they fell apart, even before Casey decided to toss the game by playing BeBe late (he was kind of forced into it, but still), and then Ibaka at C to close.
Ibaka demonstrated why he can't be a full time 5 - he couldn't even handle Aldridge in the deep post, nevermind how he'd fare against a huge C.
Blech. Shame, this one was winnable.I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Game #3: TORONTO RAPTORS vs San Antonio SPURS 23/10/17 8:30 ET TSN2
Jheeez this team is soft
There is no one on this team tht has a teammates back
You saw it during the ibaka fight. Lowry and the rest of the guys were just standing at the side watching. While spurs entire team was holding Aldridge back and hyping him up
Every year we’ve had some type of guys tht u knew had your back. Last year we had tucker ibaka and Patterson. Before that we had Patterson James Johnson, before that it was big balls Vasquez chuck Hayes.
I love the young guys, but we desperately need a guy that’s a legit lockeroom precence.
