How would we feel about RJ with the second unit when he gets back? It would add punch to our reserves without disrupting the unit that is off to hot starts.

We would feel fantastic about that. That's where he should have been all along.

Knicks flirting with disaster again near the end of the game?

Check.

Thibs deciding then to go with 4 guards on the floor with some 45 seconds to go.

Interesting.

For once then, something.

The Raps are doing runs late.

They found one again, just not big enough to overcome the Knicks.

This was big to come away with.

I was impressed with the Raptors tenacious full court pressing D at the games end.  Forced turnovers, took us out of rhythm

No Brunson?

No win.

We needed all our pieces.

Mitch 18 rebound double double.

Randle cracking 30 and 10 as bell cow.

Double figures from IQ and Quick.

Deuce, Sims, Hart, and Fournier all chipped in.

Yes. Brunson clearly leads it all.

Good players in good roles more or less on the same page makes for a good team.

We are on our way.

Progress

I'm curious how we will fare against the Nyets in our next matchup, as they are on a tear.

That was a bummer. We stayed in it as we fell apart.

We need RJ back.
 
I home the return of Obi does not mean the banishment of Sims.

It is nice to hit the midpoint positive in wins despite the tough loss.

Keaton got smacked by that train in the end, despite some of his best shenanigans.

You know who has performed well against the bucks in a recent playoff series?

Cam Reddish.

Thibs purgatory is deep and hellish.

So many good things.

Bucks responded like Champs, and we couldn't close out on the three.

Watching Brunson is remarkable

It's remarkable, but very predictable.

This is like the 8th such game this season.

There is a hard cap on us as coached and structured.

While I appreciate the cohesiveness on D the short rotation has brought us, when your offensive is so reductive, league low 16 assists last night, your ISO players better have legs at the end. They never do. And we are well figured out by then anyway.

Unless Thibs builds and uses a bench mob, and spices things up to make better use of the underused offensive talents we have, we'll see this again and again.

I hope the return of Obi does not mean the banishment of Sims.


that 9 is 9. Actually 8.5

Hope no more.
