Thats why Boucher was playing earlier. Hes basically an energy guy. Didn't work out so well.

You have to give bench guys regular minutes and better role definition. Otherwise, they either play scared and do nothing, or out of control and make mistakes. It's hard to play well when you're expected to show something within a few minutes or else your ass is nailed to pine for 4-5 more games.

Gasol has to show leadership and let Serge start next game. Allow Boucher to earn more minutes.
Boston may not be a good match up for him and may still recover next series if Raptors are awarded to advance but it is quiet obvious that their are tell-tale signs that he is close in celebrating his past laurels in the offseason and just finally hang it up.

16 free throw disparity again though. How much is it we're not getting calls and how much is it playing soft and not attacking the paint?
And I don't care what the stats say Gasol does, time to throw a different look at them.

Raptors are less talented than Boston but they are making this a series because of heart, grit and experience. Tired legs, by lagging huge minutes in game 4, why they barely can keep on this one.
We have to give credit to Jalen Brown, he is a clone of Jimmy Butler. He is just relentless on defense. If the Raptors has another legitimate offensive weapon, I truly believe the burden Siakam is carrying will not be this heavy.

You can't have OG as your go to guy on offense. That's what happened in the 1st. FVV and Lowry got shutdown by the Celtics guards and Gasol and Siakam like all series were non factors.
I think Lowry and FVV will be better next game. But I have ZERO faith in Gasol and Siakam. Gasol is washed up. Siakam is just garbage. He doesn't have the mentality of a star. He's the opposite of an alpha. Jaylen Brown has completely embarassed him this whole series and I expect that continue next game.Mamba Mentality

Jimmy Butler made it really difficult for Giannis (MVP)
Jalen Brown imo is as comparable defensively than Jimmy and a younger version of him. Stopping a way lesser tier talent to Giannis like Siakam, people should take that into consideration.
Thats that
one more thing, like Jimmy, Jalen Brown is no slouch offensively, so defending him at the other end will take every bit of energy.
