I know right. Austin Rivers was blowing by Lowry pretty easily all game.
We should have picked up Rivers, Faried and Korver. Basically solves our 3 biggest bench problems: dribble penetration, rebounding and 3-pt shooting. Faried is also an energy guy, and it feels like we also lack that type of energizer bunny personality.

Faried is the ultimate smoke and mirrors player. He's been out of the league forever for a reason. Hard pass.

[/QUOTE]The good news is it's just on the offensive end, I think Lowry's defence has been better with Kawhi on the floor (though that's true for everyone else on the team)[I/QUOTE]
The defence in the 1H was brutal allowing the Rocket guards straight line drives resulting in lay-ups, little floaters or passes to a big for a dunk or lay-up. We were killed on paint points mostly a result of passive or poor defence at the point of attack. Harden is a tough cover, but it was Gordon who beat Lowry all night long. Raptors need their highest paid player to be a consistent offensive contributor otherwise a first round exit is a realistic outcome.
