Game 73: Raptors vs Cavaliers, Thu Mar 24, 2022, 7:30 PM, SN

Like Ormani but it would be better if he made some threes. Already in instead of Delano.

Banton can’t shoot. He’s another year away.

[KeonClark]

One concern is Fred's season following a similar pattern to all the lowry raptor seasons. Amazing first half, run into the ground, banged up at the end and shooting poorly.

[Jclaw]

Good first half. Withstood their early charge. Many good things including the obvious Thad 6-0 run. No Birch in the second q. Both teams blitzing (or losing) the main ball handler leading to a lot of open threes. Let’s see who hits them

Gotta get that all-star selection, though.

Woot no rust on OG's 3

[G__Deane]

Are the refs really gonna start giving Garland the Trae Young treatment, easy fouls if he blows the dribble but yells?

[Beans]

Birch lol. Offensively limited is an understatement.

[The Great One]

FVV is playing like shit.

[golden]

Garland has a lot of Trae Young in his game. Gets into the paint and finishes with ease. That's the type of PG we need to make Nurse's drive & kick system work.

[Demographic Shift]

They are stone cold right now... gotta fight through a stagnant offensive stretch.

Maybe that steal by Barnes breaks the malaise...

[G__Deane]

Entirely all ball
Edit: with a side of head

[The Great One]

They said he got hit in the head? huh?

[KeonClark]

With that lost challenge, nick nurse becomes first coach in history to be 0 for 500 on challenges

[Kagemusha]

Tony BS was mid court, the baseline ref didn't call.

[golden]

Is Nurse's idea of the coach's challenge to protect his top players from picking up fouls? Trying to understand when/why he uses them and almost always wastes it.
