  • LF-3 JJ-4 Why not?

    We are consistently giving up 110 points per game ---our defence is a joke offering no resistance to opponents. I really believe we could improve today with LF and JJ getting big minutes. TR could come off the bench. JV and TH at centre. At the 4 off the bench Amir and PP. Yes I know LF can't shoot but he can defend.

    Becasue while we may give up less points with them in the Starting 5, we'd score a helluva lot less points as well.

    Is what Casey would say.

    In reality, TRoss is barely more effective then either.

      LF isn't even a good defender, he's average at best. Combine that with having zero offensive ability, and he's not a net plus. The defense would be much better if JJ averaged 20+ minutes per game, but Casey ain't down with that.

          Yeah, I can't really see Fields having any positive impact. I mean, we're talking about a guy who will be out of the league in a few months.

            You're joking, right?

                It's all part of Ross' development though. A T. Ross that is on top of his game is a lot more vital to the teams future than either of JJ or LF on the top of their respective games.

                    75% chance of being out of the league, 25% chance he's signed by a team like San Antonio, turns into a super-useful bench player, and spends rest of his career pissing Raptors fans that our coaches never used him to his abilities.

                        LF is a plus defender, and that's because he's a smart player. Ultimately I think he should be getting some minutes.. but Casey has his rotations set.. also explains why JJ doesn't get some burn. I'm sure Masai has asked Casey to play Ross more and that eats into JJ's minutes.

                        I don't know if he should be starting though. Although if you needed a stop I'd like to see him out there. I think the best defensive line up would be:

                        DD/LF/JJ/TH/AJ

                        No one can score from the outside, but the point would be to get a stop.. and then call a timeout so that you can get some better offensive players out there. And hope to hell that you can secure the defensive board if the opponent misses.

                            I know you think Casey is idiot but you think other coaches can't come up with game plan to destroy that line up?

                              A lineup of LW-LF-JJ-TH-AJ might work just because Lou doesn't pass and with minimal spacing might pick up more fouls, he's going to shoot anyway why bother giving him passing options.Everybody else can play with out any plays drawn up. As a second unit the goal is defense first, scoring second
