Game 18: Toronto Raptors @ Golden State Warriors - Sunday Nov 21st 8:30pm ET - Sportsnet

[The Claw Reborn]

Scottie doesn’t know the angles or hit the rookie wall

LMAO

[golden]

Experience. The rookie wall has hit him hard.

Rookie wall has hit the whole team, tbh. First year without Lowry.

[The Claw Reborn]

Lol

Scottie is the scapegoat

This is getting hilarious, throwing tweets to prove the most lamest excuse

[MixxAOR]

I don't know if prime Duncan, Pippen, Gary Payton, Artest and Kawhi could execute this scheme. Our elite defenders don't even get the opportunity to use their talent and defend 1-on-1. They are always out of position, just helping/trapping (aka. hyper scrambling) all the time.

Come on man...

[A.I]

Barnes keeps getting beat off the dribble. He doesn't know the angles.

well ORTG is trash stat then

I just told you they are too many weak links who are bad at communicating and lack experience. That's why their defense is bad. It's not the scheme. It's the execution.

1 for 10 from Van Vleet

It’s sickening

I don't make up the numbers, I just post them. It's explainable in some ways because offensive rebounding with put-backs and tip-ins are the highest efficiency offense you can get. Also FVV, GTJ & OG are shooting well from 3.

Regardless, defense is a major weakness. We are regularly giving up > 120 DRTG games since Pascal came back. That would be the worst DRTG probably in NBA history, if that continues. It makes no sense. We are a defensive minded team, with elite, hard-working defenders. How can we be THIS bad? It has to be the scheme.

this.

to say that the Raptors players defensively are inexperienced is the most stupid excuse

Barnes and GTJ even though they are still young have better defensive fundamentals

it’s the system that opposing teams have already figured out

the losses to Detroit and Cleveland would prove how lame that excuse was

[007]

Fred and Gary combined 4-23 from the field bruh

yeah right. team made up of guys with broken jumpers and their strength is offense.

Raptors are top 10 (8th) in ORTG and bottom 10 (21st) in DRTG. Offense is their strength. Defense is killing them right now.

These Raptors have to play aggresive defense. Because if they play conservative defense they are not going to survive with their shitty offense. They need to generate more possessions and run more because it's already expected their overall FG% will be low. If they play slow half court conservative defense all of the sudden we just have a bunch of shitty offensive players playing soft defense.
