What a crapty 2nd quarter

 

[The_Jamal]

Frank ruining another possession. Sheesh.

 

[Tetsujin]

Why did you try that pass, Frank? He was doubled.

 

[VF21]

Why the **** do we keep playing Frank?

Because Yogi apparently ran over Joerger's dog or something?

 

[KingKong]

Mason's play in really infuriating. Complete ball stopper!

 

[Bosnian Diehard]

I’m done with Mason at this point.

 

[Tetsujin]

How does Frank not have a single TO attributed to him?

 

[Kingz19]

Frank has wasted two end of quarter shots acting like he’s Kobe with the game on the line.

To think Yogi flaked out on Dallas to be in the doghouse

 

[206Fan]

We're getting out rebounded 14 to 28..

LOL! I love our filter sometimes. I may start using "crapty" by choice.

Yogi isn't much of a playmaker though. He's a SG in a PG's body.

I've watched a ton of the Raptors this season and if they stay healthy, I think they can legitimately challenge the Warriors. They're so long, so good on defense and can run 10-11 deep, that their play never really dips at any point during the course of a game.

One of the mysteries of the game.

I'd love to see Vince Carter back with them for the playoffs. He deserves a legit chance one last time.

 

[SacTownKid]

Last year is irrelevant. Different personnel, different philosophy, etc.

We'll see, so far it's the same basic substitution pattern and that's something that can't be argued. It may change, it might be being done for a reason at the moment and is intended to change but right now it's the same with the roles reversed.

 

[DesertFox]

I think Joeger knows what he has in Yogi, and is giving Mason some run for working hard. Same thing with JJ. See what the kids have before you bury them on the bench behind Bogi.

But sooner rather than later, Frank will be the change of pace 3rd PG, and JJ will be waving towels full time.

 

[gunks]

Right?

Yogi is pretty great when he plays, maybe Mason is just more familiar with the sets?

Probably the dog thing.

don't tell me that's surprising, look at those giants they have on that roster and the bulk to add, even Lowry gets in there to rebound and he's a bulldog

The biggest problem I see facing the Raptors is their lack of a 3rd option. What happens if they shut down Kawhi? You'd be depending on Lowry and Ibaka.

I'm not sure Mason is a positive impact player while on the floor but he seems to make a mistake then save a play. Make a mistake, make a play.

Lowry's currently putting up MVP Steve Nash numbers and guys like Siakam can eventually become that option (plus Jonas off the bench).

I think you might be onto something here.

The Kings are playing too close to the rim defensively. They did the same thing in the Bucks game. They finally pushed that front line of the defense more towards the three point line on the rebound and they started to pull down those long boards.

 

[Agent23]

Refs trying to foul out the whole team.

OMG. Maybe he's the reincarnation of Francisco Garcia.

 

[kb02]

Kings need Bjelly n Buddy to stretch the floor. Neither are hitting their shots.

Frank is indeed a ball stopper. He thinks he’s 6’5 two guard.

 

[SacTownKid]

OMG. Maybe he's the reincarnation of Francisco Garcia.

Well, I guess somebody on this team has to be.

Consistent with the observation that officials are punishing solid defense in favor of fast-paced, shoot till you run out of ammo offense.

It would be if it went both ways. Kings aren’t getting the same calls.

Raptors seem to be getting away with playing good defense
