    Hmmm..
    This only confirms Lewenberg has no clue what he's talking about. Ibaka was not good on D beyond his blocked shots. And his mere presence was having a negative impact on our O.

    Still think he will start against Horford, as that might be the most ideal matchup for him at C in the whole league, but yeah, he was bad last night.

      Outside of missing shots, any concrete examples?

      I generally thought he played well and within the flow of the team (choppy as it was...)

              He was lost and undisciplined on both ends. Cheating in no man's land on D (ie only caring about the block and not actual rotations), which also led to him being in poor rebounding position a lot. Careless on the glass when he was crashing it leading to too many loose ball fouls. Setting weak screens that meant our ballhandlers had to do way too much work to try and get inside.

              Look, Ibaka was once a great defensive player, and that is one area where there's supposed to be expected value from him nightly. He was bad last night though. Our D was better with him on the bench, and he's not much of a factor on offence. He can be if he hits shots, but otherwise is low skill and low IQ on O.

                Maybe Ibaka was putting too much pressure on himself, but he was probably the worst player in our rotation last night. Maybe Miles was, but Miles has a narrower role and is missed less if other guys are hitting shots.

                Lowry was fantastic and other than a bit of rust, so was Kawhi. JV, FVV, Green, OG and Pascal all played well. Norm even looked at least more comfortable than pretty much any time last year.

                      He looks much more polished in every aspect of the game. Speaks well of how much work he has done and Raps player development.... Let's hope he keeps it up.

                        I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else but does anybody know what happened to the post game presser vids that the Raptors YouTube channel used to post?

                        Also Maker Pizza is a great get. Not really a chain but worth the trek/UberEats fee.

                              @white men can't jump: I have no idea what you were watching, but Ibaka was pretty good defensively yesterday. Don't remember him making any major mistakes.

                              As for his offense, he missed a lot, but a lot of the shots he took were good shots. Shots he should be making usually. No idea why you have such a hate boner for the guy.
