    Raptors are a much better team than their record would indicate. That is a strong team that will get some home cookin and come back in the standings.
    Gutsy win Blazers. Glad they played through the bad shooting.

    3rd time with 8 turnovers in his career. Ties a career high.

    too much focus on individual games.

    look more for trends and team ratings/efficiency. we've climbed to top 10 in net rating, our defense is improving, CJ looks like a whole new player. lotsa positives in the first ten games

    I didn’t see RoCo or DJJ take any bad shots. RoCo played good D and got some strips. I didn’t see a lot to criticize with those two.

    Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic and trying to imply this wasn't anything to celebrate. Glad to hear you're genuinely happy with that great win! :smiley-beerchug:

    Not saying they made dumb plays, but missing A LOT of wide open shots is kind of a big deal in the NBA, and really limits what a team can do on offense.

    ROCO needs to be more consistent shooting the three. His defense in the 4th made the difference.

    I think the issue is he doesn't see the ball often so when he does get it he ends up forcing up shots. Last year in the bubble Dame and CJ were driving into the Basket and kicking out to him, which rarely happens now.

    1) If CJ keeps playing this way, and Melo plays well, we're going to be good.
    2) Feels like Dame got hit on a full half of his drives.
    3) Feels like Siakam carries the ball on over half of his possessions.
    4) Gutty win, love it.
