Right now, Marcus Smart is giving you the look he usually saves for refs after bad calls
I'm bitter.

Smart is too small to cover DeRozan.
Celtics up by ten in the first quarter with the bigger lineup.
Brad blew this one.

Yes, but once you get that you do not want to show them in the reg season. Spring it on em in the playoffs.

Brad blew this one by not putting Smart on him earlier. Jaylen did a pretty decent job on him, no doubt, but Smart is by far our best person to defend him. Yet for some reason Brad did not have him on Derozan until later on in the 4th.

The other problem is that Brad is set on switching on screens because our PnR defense is just absolutely terrible. Not one single one of our bigs can effectively guard the PnR, so it forces switches and mismatches every time, which just so happens to be the Raptors specialty with their iso guards.

Like i've said from the start Jaylen is overrated...

Nobody has even indicated that in this thread; in fact, it has been the opposite sentiment. As for the 4th quarter, I agree with others; what could have been a blow out turned into shooting practice for the Raptors at the end of the game. Just an embarrassing way to choke away a game.

Except that is not true.
DeRozan shot 4-10 in the first quarter with Brown on him.
DeRozan ate us alive in the fourth quarter.
Brown is the only one we have that can cover DeRozan.

JBs defense on Derozan was the brightest spot from the last night. It makes me feel more calm anticipating that series in the playoffs. Kid has a lot of potential, lets hope he fullfills it.

It's a pick and something everytime with that guy. So a lot of the time it was a switch defense and Hortford or Kelly was defending. And that got ugly fast!

This might seal bradley as the best one on one defender on the team.. They shouldn't be able to get that switch all game so I blame it on the guards

Based on this performance tonight and the fact that the new additions in Ibaka & Tucker who barely have been with them long enough to know their offense & defense - I am very afraid of this team. They didn't even have Lowry. They will kill us in the playoffs like I see them winning in 5 games. But we want to keep all of our assets even the second rounders because we need to stash guys overseas for future years because ultimately there will be one day when we actually want to win now.

  • Boston Celtics= Championships, nothing less.
Cory Joseph (along with DeRozan) was the reason they killed us in the 2nd half.

They are running Ibaka at the 5 and Patterson at the 4 which is a solid stretch line up and we struggled to contain DeRozan and their shooters.

This is what it feels like to play against the Celtics actually.

DeRozan simply had a monster game. Hitting threes, hitting long twos. Sometimes guys get hot.
It was forcing it a lot too which didn't help.

I mean this game was anyone's to win with 3 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter.


One thing I will say is that adding Tucker and Ibaka has given this team a level of spark, heart and fire that they were sorely missing. True grizzly tough veterans who know how to defend multiple positions and can put the ball in from anywhere on the floor.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.
