    It looks like Toronto thought that they could take it easy with Dame out. Now they've realised they cant, they're taking us seriously, and they're back in the game.

    Which is strange, because our defence is supposed to stop the three, and points at the rim; and allow mid-range shots. It would seem to indicate that the players are not executing the defence properly.

    Good rotations on D, active hands, contesting shots. Who are these fucking guys?

    So far the Defense is looking good might to due we are bigger at the 2 position. So if we continue this game looking good Stotts has to think about bringing CJ off the bench and go bigger.

    One liability on D is tolerable in your starting backcourt. 2 is a disaster.

    The offense is noticeably more shaky with Dame out.

    I like the wrinkle in the defense; anything that makes them think more and be more active physically is good, even if it leads to some mistakes at first.

    All things considered, that was the best half of Blazer basketball in some time.

    I think they miss the bailout option that Dame provides. It's a good thing if they can learn to play without a bailout; take on some responsibility themselves.

    True, but you see how hard they have to work manufacturer points without him drawing all of that attention.
