Holmes' horns will never die! hahaha.

Bags has had a couple nifty little passes as well. He’s learning.

It's encouraging that he at least looks up now.

 

[Sluggah]

Is the nickname "Fox Force Five" came out of Doug's mouth only from the convenience of the words?

I know it as a fictional TV show pilot from Pulp Fiction

Oh hey, that's a good shout out! Now I can give Doug more credit haha

Bagley with the ABA finger roll

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin just went coast to coast and the Raptors just let him do it.

Bagley with the ABA finger roll

The finnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngerrrrooolllllllllll

 

[Tetsujin]

Is De’Aaron injured or something? He’s played as many minutes as CoJo tonight

 

[SacTownKid]

Tyrese might be a little one dimensional running an offense but that high middle pick and roll is going to be money. Get him full steam ahead and a shooter in that corner and watch out.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Bagley with the ABA finger roll

Dr. J, George Gervin, Connie Hawkins and a few others back in the day.

 

[Tetsujin]

Marvin has looked good tonight

 

[SacTownKid]

Love it. Barnes got the switch and Bagley called back out when he came to help.

 

[KainLear]

Love the on-court yells between players... "Get out there Marv!"

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Tampa Bay looking at little sluggish tonight. Must be the heat.

 

[Tetsujin]

Tyrese starting to pick apart the Raps defense.

Need to even everything out after CoNo’s 13 minute game.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Fox is outrageously fast

 

[KainLear]

Fox is outrageously fast

I love him better when he picks his spot to be fast.

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Actually held their ground there finishing out a quarter. Nice to see!

 

[Vinny Basketballerino]

Fox is outrageously fast

Legit question has there ever been a faster player going downhill?

 

[SacTownKid]

I would imagine Nurse is going to try and get the Kings to come out off the corners in the next half. They aren't really a post up team but they might try it out. Hopefully Walton sticks to his guns. Keep pressuring the pick and roll and switch while staying aggressive in man to man if they force it. Holmes got caught sinking a few times but overall he's been playing the space between the screener and the basket pretty effectively.

I have been watching off and on since I’m working but it seems like this is similar to the Orlando game where we aren’t really playing super well but at Least for a half are the superior team.

They really pressured the Raps more than any team so far this year and played mostly stingy man to man defense. I don't think they were prepared for the Kings to basically ditch their entire defensive scheme. The Raps also aren't getting many 3's because their pick and roll game is getting pressured.

 

[dude12]

Toronto must have really pissed off the refs

 

[Tetsujin]

The Raps should probably not leave Buddy open.

 

[SLAB]

These last few shots (& games) is why I was never mad at Buddy shooting shooting shooting.
