I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Also, play defence.

Wishful thinking, possibly.

In the first quarter, the 5 starters played. OG is hitting his shots, and he melds perfectly as he just runs cuts or hits his 3s. JV is an other release valve, can get you post points or step out and stretch. That leaves with your big 3, everybody moves the ball, everybody eats, everything runs.
Just looking around at the group out there at the end of Game 4 I found myself thinking "who's Derozan gonna pass to? I have no faith in any of these guys right now"9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

When you have Derozan, Lowry, Wright, Ibaka and "2 points scored" CJ Miles, what do you have? 4 guys that like to iso with the ball in their hands, one guy can't hit the broad side of a barn, and the 3 that aren't Kyle and Demar struggling or afraid to shoot. It's no wonder the "plays" ended the way they did late

JV is shooting 71% from the field this series.. getting consistent offense from him hasn't been a problem. If the team would pass him the ball more that would be great
*Or if Casey would actually play him more. I wonder how long it will take him to realize Poeltl's minutes are killing usLast edited by tDotted; Mon Apr 23, 2018, 03:12 PM.

Need the home crowd to be exponentially louder than they were in games 1 and 2. There was nervousness in the air, until the Raps went on a run.
If the Raps run into any trouble in game 5, we need the crowd to be PROactive, instead of REactive. Give the guys a boost when they need it most. That's what true home court advantage is all about.
