Nas's shot has become quite reliable of late. GREAT to see!

I don't know if the stats back it up, but he seems to go on these 1-2 month stretches where he's a great shooter, and then the next month or two he can't hit anything.

His lack of an outside shot was why he slipped to us in the first place; props to him for putting in the reps to improve!

That's how I feel about him. He makes predictably stupid fouls too. I remember watching a game with friends, and when there was a questionable call against the Blazers I said "nurks gonna get an offensive foul here".

And literally the next play was an offensive foul by Nurk.

He's like Kevin Duckworth, without the weight issues.

Yeah I completely agree. He’s mentally checked out. He’d be better off with a fresh start somewhere else

Grant sparked this comeback with a layup and a block leading to Lillard and Nas scoring

I would venture to say that at this point Jerami is the only player on this roster that is a perfect fit for what Chauncey wants or at least what his philosophies call for.
 
wait, is she not wearing a shirt under that jacket?

I am not complainin..
 
Had a chance to cut it to 10, Dame instead threw a idiotic half court pass and now back to blowout.
 
Without Nurk, Toronto is absolutely feasting in the paint.
 
Dame has only 2 assists...Ant has only 2 assists....that's not good pt guard production at all...more turnovers than assists

It does seem like he goes through up and down stretches. It's probably tough to stay consistent without regular shot attempts. Maybe that will change not that he is getting some starter minutes. With Dame/Ant/Grant, there just doesn't seem like a lot of opportunities for other players, even if they are hot.
 
rebound differential is borderline obscene.

Two of Dame's three turnovers were passes to an open teammate that the guy could have reached but just weren't in the bread basket. These guys on the perimeter need to keep their eyes on the ball... those weren't Dame's fault.
 
27-12 rebounding. Raptors don’t need to run offense because they get every board.

2 assists and 3 turnovers no matter how you look at it...that's not a good half...he's -21 in the first half
 
It's not like we can't win this one, it's just like with all of the length and athleticism they have, it's going to be very hard for us to get the rebounds and stops necessary to come back.

Make a fucking move Joe! (but not too soon because if you make an early move and I don't think you got every drop of value possible out of it I will spend a year complaining about it #ClippersTrade #Microsoftinsidetrading #NormandRoCoforJustiseandKeonStillSUCKS!!!)

Yeah, it's because of Dame. It's not due to our lack of size and especially lack of size with athleticism.

On the plus side we added more size with Payton

sure.....he's not the only issue in the first half but he's bricked a lot of ISO shots trying to shoot himself into the game so far. I could call out all our players one by one but Dame has the ball. most so far.

Hard capped for another 6'3" player off the bench, when we weren't even close to being the type of team where that 'one guy' makes a difference.

The Warriors would LOVE him back.

It's almost like bigger guys in a game based on a 10' rim are a 'thing'.

You would think so, but their starting lineup is actually not that much bigger than ours when you look at it.

FVV/GTJ small like Dame/Ant
Barnes (6’8”) > Little (6’5”)
Siakam (6’8”) = Grant (6’8”)
Achiuwa (6’8) < Eubanks (6’10”)
 
We absolutely need to win this game. Aside from the Clippers, teams above is in the West have been struggling. We need to take advantage of the opportunity.
 
Dame and Jerami are the only players with 3 rebounds, no one else has that many or more and they're both the worst in the game for +/-. Plus/minus is the biggest pile of shit stat. These are the only two guys who should be getting serious minutes in this system/

Gary is a bulky 6'5"... he is not a small SG like Ant is.
