Another issue with FVV. Casey played him probably thinking he'd mostly match up against Nelson. Nelson ended up playing well, and we struggled to get good matchups against Holiday as well. Would much rather see Wright's length on Nelson and trying more Powell on Holiday.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostYeah, Casey is still frustrating. Rotations are unnecessarily complicated at the moment. Preseason is long done and you're 10 games into the season. Battles have been won. Bebe should be benched and FVV should be benched. Siakam earned his spot as the 10th man if anyone did, and even if we play 10 guys the all bench lineups are not necessary.
Nice to see Ibaka have a great game. Couldn't have come at a better time. JV and Poeltl frustrated the fuck out of Cousins, which pretty much always neutralizes him. I swear when Poeltl came in Cousins thought he could be lazy and bait him into stupid shit like he was Bebe. No luck, Boogie!
If the rotations were cleaner and we didn't get caught watching in transition a few times, this could have been a much easier win.

FVV should be playing maybe six or seven minutes per night tops, and that's mostly to cut down Kyle's minutes, which really is a thing that needs to happen.

I mean, I don't want to make a big thing when we won and had a pretty good game. I just think now is about time to tidy it up in the rotation.
And if we're trying to showcase Bebe, it's probably backfiring.

slaw wrote: View PostYeah, I agree that now 10 in it is time to tighten the screws a little on the rotation and get FVV and Bebe out. Not saying you can't play those guys ever but not every night. As you write, it is simply too complicated to manage that many players for 48 game after game and it creates weird lineups.

but, there’s always a but
the Cavs problems sure look to be centred on defence and while IT may boost the offence he isn’t going to help that problem....they’re 5 up and 7 down...Lebron will drag these guys to the playoffs...but the lack of defense makes the Cavs vulnerable for the first time in 4 years....
Will they be rash enough to trade the Brooklyn 1st for help on the defensive end of the floor ?Last edited by Demographic Shift; Fri Nov 10, 2017, 10:25 AM.There's no such thing as a 2nd round bust.

Hey, the Raptors won last night right?
Friday and Saturday off to prepare. I was nervous that they'd blow the opportunity before having to head into Boston to play the 10-2 Celtics and then on to Houston to play the currently 9-3 Rockets with James Harden and finally, a rematch with the Pelicans in New Orleans. A decent losing streak was a distinct possibility.
After that brutal 6 game road trip, the schedule maker sure wasn't kind to the Raptors to throw them back on the road so soon and against such tough competition.
Taking 1 of next three might be the best we can hope for, 2 of three would have to be considered a great success imo. Beat Boston and the rest is gravy ....
