Opposing teams are going to be exhausted playing against Toronto while the Raptors can easily rotate 12-14 guys in and out of the lineup and stay fresh with only a few players averaging 30 minutes a game. (Not saying they won't have players giving more than 30 minutes a game, but there will be no need to exhaust anyone and risk them getting hurt as a result). Fewer injuries due to overuse or tiredness can only help in the wins/losses column.

I've watched about 15 minutes. I'd rather watch regular season football than training camp. I can just skim what you guys have been saying until the reg season starts. One thing I've learned here is grindhouse has let me know OG is barely an NBA player at this point.

Biggest surprises for me so far in preseason have been:
- Svi, and how good he's looked so far. Legit rotation player that can start if needed.
- How good OG has been in iso when he has the space to work. Masai and Nurse eluded to this being a big season for OG and so far he hasn't let them down.
- Barnes' ability to impact the game without having a consistent jumper. Really though he might struggle a bit until he found his groove but he's hit the ground running so far.
- How bad Dragic has looked so far. Not sure if wants to force a trade or what, but I thought he would have fit in here really well as a leader and one of the few veteran voices on the team.
Liking what I'm seeing so far.

Siakam being out was a blessing in disguise and OG increasing his USG while also increasing his efficiency is mind-blowing. Yeah, it's only pre-season, but this is exceeding even the best case scenario. Hell yeah.

OG and Siakam do separate aspects of the game really well. OG is automatic from the outside, to the point I’m surprised when he misses, Pascal is the opposite for me.
Pascal has the better handle, and can create more off the dribble. I think he would be able finish better in ISO situations.
I hope Siakam comes in more assertive, accepting contact around the basket. His shot mechanics look soft to me. He doesn’t attack his spots in the midrange. Kinda just lazily puts it up if the paint is packed.
I think both will be a good pairing, OG will thrive playing off of Siakam and visa versa.
