It is up to Nick Nurse to put both Scottie and Siakam in a situation that they can thrive. I thought last season when Pascal fully recovered from his surgery and got his full bearings back, Nurse showcased both Pascal and Scottie in a two point forward roles with both taking turns bringing down the ball and initiating plays. The series against the Sixers when VanVleet went down was more a preview of what this team’s identity moving forward.

Adding more offensive plays like a PnR and PnP with Siakam and Scottie could be unstoppable with VanVleet/ GTJ and OG around spreading the floor.

I don’t know why the coaching staff are more focus with Isolation plays.

Is fred banged up or is it just preseason rest?

[The Claw Reborn]

Great first three two man PnR plays between VanVleet and Scottie

Trent engaged at both ends and his personal assignment to guard Lavine, hopefully he keeps it up.

[The Claw Reborn]

Another season of mediocrity with these Raptors dancers.

Suns and Lakers are still top of the heap

[The Claw Reborn]

Are the Chicago brass really being honest to themselves and say that they have a team that can compete for a championship or another playoff fodder season with Derozan/ Lavine and Vucecic combo.

GTJ is playing great … fg 100% 3fg% all around, record breaking lol

Defending well too

Precious being young still a little erratic and prone to being out of control, takes times when the game would slow down for him.

His physical body still too fast for his ability to think and be aware of where he is in the court.

But if he can learn how he can put both together, sky is the limit.

Why IMO, NN is still hesitant to put him out starting games.

It is Trent to lose that starting job and Precious to fully convince his coach that he is ready

OG had a NICE seperation move

once the mind catches up he will be special ...very very special

[The Claw Reborn]

OG is repetition, these silly injuries of his within the season is slowing his progression as a basketball player

Keep healthy OG.
