[Game] Kings @ Raptors - 11/6/16 - 3 PM PT/6 PM ET

[jcwkings]

So as bad as we have been in the past, offense and rebounding were some of our strengths, this season both of those have become anemic. What are the strengths of this team again?

 

[SLAB]

So, do the Raptors have a Teletovic type player Matt Barnes can leave open on 7 straight possessions?

 

[SLAB]

I'm just about at the end of my patience with Lawson.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Tv about to be off. Actually it is. Can't do it for an entire 5 game loser roadtrip

New backcourt after tonight hopefully

 

[SLAB]

So, do the Raptors have a Teletovic type player Matt Barnes can leave open on 7 straight possessions?

Yup. He just checked in. PPat probably gonna rain down.

 

[jcwkings]

Lawson has been blocked practically every time he has attempted a layup this season.

 

[206Fan]

"Lawson is good" said nobody ever

 

[Suicide King]

Lawson has been blocked practically every time he has attempted a layup this season.

He goes straight up, doesnt lean or contort or do really anything other than hope it goes in it seems.

 

[Kingsfan23]

Very very disappointed by this org

I actually had expectations

 

[jcwkings]

Our 3 point shooting is deplorable. Double Cousins and run the floor and any NBA team can blow this team out.

 

[CurseOfTheSalmons]

This is the last game of the Collison suspension. Right?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Matt Devlin made a great point on the Raptors' broadcast: Toronto has thrown three different bigs at Cousins, and we've made no effort to have Cousins attack them. Got to question Joerger's wisdom about that.

 

[jcwkings]

So is it a bad omen that Noguiera shut down Cousins. Good lord this team stinks.

 

[Larry89]

Just tuned in, who is that sideshow bob, bob marley hybrid player on the raptors?

 

[SLAB]

Farmar >>> Lawson

 

[jcwkings]

Farmar is better than Lawson.

 

[jcwkings]

Lawson doesnt fit this team, Farmar should stay and Lawson released imo.

 

[Bricklayer]

thank you guys for finally waking up.

jeesh. was driving me mad to see Toronto doing nothing at all and us not taking any kind of advantage, Cuz barely looking to attack 2 scrubs etc.

Jesus, just bring some energy.

 

[HndsmCelt]

Lawson sits and Farmar comes in and the offense runs smooth. I'm not saying there is cause and effect but there's a correlation

This team does not try an entry pass to Cuz by anyone. I don't know if it is lack of skill or the coaches wish. It worked so darn well last year and it wasn't always Rondo throwing the entry pass. I don't get it.

 

[Suicide King]

Temple has been doing well. One of our better FA acquisitions this off season.

 

[TaxMan]

I think you might be right.

 

[SLAB]

Barnes makes some really really stupid plays.

 

[Glenn]

Barnes makes some really really stupid plays.

Sometimes.

 

[TaxMan]

Barnes makes some really really stupid plays.

We are relying on him way too much. It seems like he feels pressure to make plays when he really should be a solid COG.

 

[SLAB]

Kosta is the least fun player to watch in the entire NBA. He makes everything seem so exceedingly difficult.

 

[206Fan]

Raptors' rookie Siakam looks pretty good.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So is it a bad omen that Noguiera shut down Cousins. Good lord this team stinks.

It's a lot easier to shut a center down, when he only gets the ball behind the three-point line, and he has to take three or four dribbles, from twenty-three feet away, in order to make a play. It also doesn't hurt that you're getting help from your teammates every time he takes a step inside the paint.

What I'm trying to figure out is, how much of Cousins drifting out to the three-point line if he doesn't get the initial touch inside a function of the offense, and how much of it is a function of Cousins getting mad that his teammates aren't looking for him inside?

 

[sactownfan]

Oh man well it took almost the entire 1st quarter to get down by 10... improvement? Haha what a joke... well we're down by 10 again.

I don't wanna trade Cousins but pending a miracle turn around... we will HAVE to trade him. It's gonna be fire sale soon.... Gays gone for sure too

I do strongly believe we will be able to get enough young talent in retire to field a good team at some point.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why does this team appear to make a more concerted effort to attack the paint when our All-Star center is not on the floor?
