Every game we lose the guards get blamed for it. Yes, AB and ET couldn't stop Derozan but he is a great offensive player, he is going to go off sometimes (score 23 a game).
I wish someone wouldn't be as lazy as I am and see if this is true. In the majority of our losses, only 1-2 of our bigs play well in the same game. We want our guards/wings to stop the best players in the game and also score the ball. The best players in the game overwhelmingly are on the perimeter, chances are those players are going to do what they do best and score the ball from time to time. Demar and Lowry avg 50pts a game, they got 48 tonight, what's new?
When is more than 1 of the bigs at a time going to take some of the offensive load off? 1 of our bigs scored in double figures tonight and only 2 last game!! CAN THEY GIVE US SOMETHING??? Not only did they give us NO OFFENSE they didn't stop Toronto bigs!!!
Also AB/IT4 had 40pts to Lowry/Demar's 48... if you can't defend them at least score and that's what our guards did AGAIN!
