Matt Thomas made a bad pass once so he's back to the pine /sarcasm
Its funny apparently before the game Nick openly criticized Bouch, Thomas and TD trio (the ones beloved by us vocal fans) and said "you bet they've played poorly lately. If you wanna praise them all the time, then you have to be critical too"
Seems to be a double edged sword, Mccaw is getting that same free ride Derozan got from Casey, with 5% of the talent lol

Davis was horrible last night specially on the defensive end of the floor. That's why he got benched the entire 2nd half.

That's why I don't get the McCaw double standard. No matter how bad he plays, he gets rewarded by even more minutes and starting assignments. With Davis, every player will tell you that if they know they're getting guaranteed minutes, they can play more relaxed and let the game come to them. They play tight when they feel they're getting a quick hook after a mistake or two. Davis proves that when he starts ... he's awesome.
The problem is not TD getting not enough minutes, the problem is Patrick getting any minutes. Matt Thomas also exists, same as OG, RHJ, these minutes can be spread around to any number of quality NBA guys9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

They don't all need to be held to the same standards, this isn't rec league ball, life isn't fair, yada yada. Davis maybe needs tough love, and we don't need to rush his development.

Finally got to watch the game. McCaw's +8 was definitely a case of the old untrustworthy single game plus minus, unfortunately. He had some bright spots throughout but was mostly just his usual self. Heck even on that final clutch layup he got he nearly turned it over on an 8 second violation before Lowry hurried him up to the line. Sigh. I wish I could see what Nurse is valuing there.

The answer is simple guys. Nurse likes what he does out there. Why? No idea. But he does.

Maybe I'm over thinking it but it feels like the Raptors support of McCaw is not about his on court results. Perhaps it's about building a reputation in the league for developing players and not giving up on them quickly as many other teams do. That whole player centric approach to show players that this organization views them as valuable commodities and not objects. That kind of stuff may mean a lot to players, agents, player family members etc.
We joke that he's got something on Nurse/Masai but it's almost that weird.

I get what you're saying but there's no way "develop players" includes having him start and also plant him as the defacto rotation piece above other deserving options when his numbers are soooo bad. You can develop the kid in limited and garbage time like most teams do.

The logic sort of falls apart considering a) they seem to have more invested in their success finding undrafted FA's, and both Thomas and Davis are losing minutes to McCaw, and b) Stanley Johnson, their second draft signing from this summer, has gotten absolutely zero minutes. Now, he doesn't deserve them, he's very bad. But so is McCaw.
Or agreeing with me but you can never tell from your comments?
