Game #22: Toronto Raptors 104 - Philadelphia 76ers 110

[RikkJames]

Style of play changed overnight from: high energy & defense first to methodical, half-court pick & roll and lazy closeouts & rotations on defense.

Exactly

[MixxAOR]

Style of play has changed. That's pretty obvious. We're playing Kyle's type of game on both ends, not Siakam. FVV & Pascal complement each other.

has nothing to do with Siakam and his production. He always feasted on mismatches and transition. Take that away and he's nothing.

4 fouls on Lowry and no Fred. Uh oh

[consmap]

Whelp

[MixxAOR]

Siakam had wide open lane and he chose a three instead.

Just gonna say my hot take:
Raptors are not as good as the Buck
Raptors are not as good as the Celtics
Raptors are not as good as the Sixers

Hot take 2:
I would trade one or both of Gasol or Kyle or Serge and Kyle for younger value later this season

yeah rebuild might be a good idea if this keeps happening.

Transition has been taken away from Pascal all year, starting with opening night. We just came off and 8-2 stint with the team firing on all cylinders - most aesthetically pleasing basketball we've seen in these parts, probably ever.

It's obvious what changed "the last 3 games". I'm not 'blaming' Lowry... I'm just pointing out that Nurse has to figure out the chemistry because we've added talent and gotten worse.

Trading Lowry = addition by subtraction. Like back when they traded Rudy Gay. This team would get a lot better if they get rid of him.

Gimme the TD, RHJ, Bouch Combo. We need that youthful energy

[bertarapsfan]

Look at the bright side its alot easier to mount a comeback on a team that can't hit the 3 ball

[golden]

Siakam had wide open lane and he chose a three instead.

And if he hits that... he's Kawhi 2.0 with the F you 3. Jeez, man. Everything looks wide open to us up here in nosebleed camera angle.

[consmap]

Ugh here comes the avalanche

[bertarapsfan]

Just play that bench mob unit nick. Might as well see if they can still be useful, we need a chess move here

[MixxAOR]

well yikes
