Nice job. Covered the most likely sequences the Raptors will use on offense, with the proviso that Kyle and Serge weren't available to participate in the game tape you showed. AD and Lebron improved their play together as the season went along, as I recall, so their D might be more balanced. But you rightly pointed out, the Raptors have a lot of weapons. It will be fun to see what Nurse pulls out, or how he uses Kyle and Serge in the warmup round.

Kuzma is a soft defender and so is KCP, which actually has a lower D-PIPM than Kuzma. If we continue to explore switches onto those two for Siakam while having both Fred/Gasol/Norm being threats from outside we'll have a solid half court-offence against them. Mix that up with an Ibaka-Lowry pick and roll plus our transition offence and they'll have trouble guarding us.
Defensively I think what we gotta do is be really aggressive on AD (like the blitzing doubles Nurse likes to deploy on opposing bigs/wings), and contest Green's and KCP's outside shot (KCP is actually shooting really well this year compared to other years, probably as a function of playing with Lebron).
All in all they're tough to contain, but they also have a hard time containing us, especially in transition. Should be a fun, probably high scoring first game.

This is their first game of restart. Finals would be bonus. This could be considered an early game thread.

I highly doubt it. Corana a weak ass disease, not even ebola levels. Wouldn't even put it in my top 5 disease. Gasolitis is going to have more of a impact on the NBA playoffs then Corana.
But all seriousness they would play games without fans before the cancelled the season, T.V deals have too much riding on thisLast edited by Jclaw; Tue Jun 30, 2020, 04:11 PM.
