    Raps won the FG attempt battle again (TOR 87 - BRK 79), but lost the rebounding and turnover stats. Mostly just came down to not being able to keep Brooklyn's FG% down.

    Chalk it up to Siakam's return throwing guys off a bit? Alvin mentioned a couple times during the game that the defense looked off and guys were either slow rotating or not rotation at all.
    The rotations aren't automatic at this point. I noticed Siakim yesterday, and Gary and Precious getting caught in no man's land several times that lead to individual Net players standing all alone under the basket. Siakim needs to get caught up on the rotation responsibilities. He gets an absolute pass. Gary and Precious need more time. If they keep this system up, by mid season that stuff will be almost automatic. By the end of the season it will be. A lot of opposing teams are going to struggle getting shots off.

    Nick needs to come up with a counter to opponents players switching their cover to Fred. Should be an automatic switch back when Fred is faced with a 7 footer, though he does a very good job.

      LJ2 is proven right. Raptors are the most unique team at the moment.

        I have a disgusting trend Nick Nurse is doing….

        Van Vleet averaging 38.8 minutes per game. leading the league in minutes played

        Dalano has already proven that he is more than reliable and more than capable to eat on those minutes.

          And those are a hard 38.8 mins he's playing. Raps put a lot of energy into defense, so we might start seeing more loses like the one against the Cavs where the guys just can't close due to being tired.

            While one of the most dynamic guard in the league is averaging 33 minutes per game (5 less minutes), one of the top BPM performers who just scored 50 points tonight, very efficient shooting at 50% fg and close to 50% 3point fg, 10 assists and 7 rebs. Only time you categorize a player as Elite. The dude is carrying his team on his back with less talented complementary players around him. He impacts the game differently than others yet allowing others to be great.

            Nurse is the new Thibs….but worse, he is squashing the face of his lead guard into the ground…unlike the D.Rose then who was elite, Van Vleet ain’t. Fred Van Vleet has limitations, he is a complementary player, squeezing every pulp off of him will not result to winning but just hindering development of others.

            Injuries is real

              Raps aren't tanking this year, so I think it's safe to say this will be the norm for FVV. I just hope they can find more minutes for Delano, he needs that opportunity to develop.

                    I totally agree, is no way a tanking team….unless a major setback in someone’s health like an injury would start those wheels rolling again….why I think Nurse is just being an idiot for playing Van Vleet high minutes with very minimal positive impact to the team long term but just the other way around especially when he pop his knee or ankle due too much wear and tear.

                    Thibs didn’t get anywhere running Derrick Rose into the ground. D.Rose was so talented however and he got a personal accolade around the league. For sure, not with this player.

                      Ya all these leading the league stats have resulted in a 6-5 record. Why dodnt we get patty mills? The guys been lofting daggers for years.

                      and shouldn’t length and mobility prevent all these open corner 3’s? As mentioned this team has been over helping for a few years now. Even 5 feet away the guy still has to make a basket - rather that than an open 3

                      Im down with this experiment. Gotta say the d is exciting. Its like every opposition possession its a coin toss on whether we’ll turn them over but eventually we need to replace guys with guys that have similar D but can get it in the basket.

                      whats more is inthink our poor shooting increases the other teams shooting %. Whenever we give up an O board or miss a 3 it seems like money the other team will drop one

                        Yeah, this team sucks - let's tank.

                        Seriously, they're 6-5. What did people expect - with a rookie that half of you didn't even want in the first place, and their All Star on the shelf. They've beat Boston, played the Nets tough. Barnes looks amazing. Pascal looked great. Van Vleet is a leader most teams would love to have, despite what you think he can or can't give you on the PnR. Future (incl. this season) looks bright.

                        Give it 30 games before making proclamations about who sucks, who's not a good fit, and who should be traded for Marvin F-ing Bagley. The guys who are here and have built the culture and good vibes over the past few years that everyone loves deserve it.

                          I doubt that we finish any lower than the play-in (11th) this year, and likely no higher than 5th, barring injuries to the top 4 (Heat, Bucks, Sixers, Nets). This isn't necessarily because we're so good, but also because almost every team in the NBA is mediocre like us. Even the top teams and superteams are highly beatable on any given night. This feels like a transition year for the NBA where anything can happen.

                            Interesting that Memphis is right there with us on that graph.

                              The teams that crash the o-glass strong are either mediocre or just bad. Yet Golden State is 9-1 and they don't attack the o-glass at all. So maybe it's not really that important?

                                Tristan Thompson has always been an elite offensive rebounder with decent mobility on the perimeter. He'd fit with what we're trying to do here. Do we finally NeedTristanThompson ?
