    Pacers making a hard dive in the standings. Only 1 game up on us now. 1 win in their last 10. Gotta keep an eye on those reverse standings.

    Raptors got some easy games coming up after this road trip. Doesn't mean they are going to win them all but we need some moves before the deadline that can help the tank.

    But who knows maybe if the Raptors do decide to tank, then it begs the question of if Nurse gets fired at the end of the season? But also if he is, who replaces him as coach? But also looking at the Draft or looking at mocks as of yesterday

    It has the Raptors at 6th now and with the 6th overall pick from the latest mock it has the Raptors taking Brandon Miller

    If let's say Raptors do take Miller and draft him, then would he be a good fit next to Scottie Barnes?

    But then it begs the question of if you keep whatever remaining parts of the core you have or if you get rid of all of them completely

    Yup. Main problem imo.

    It is Fred and Siakam. Fred's point of attack defence is non-existent now and the help just isn't there. Siakam hasn't played a lick of defence all season. When people say two way impact, they're just going off of reputation at this point.

    The other guys have never impacted defence as much so can't really blame them too much and OG is OG.

    Barnes showing how good he can be when he is aggressive. Nice win!

    Maybe, still enjoyed it though. We have no control over the team's direction. It was fun watching Scottie control that 4th. He was aggressive and assertive and the team played it through him.

    Always been his problem. He doesn't have that killer mindset. Luka and Jokic love to pass but they know when they need to control the game.

    Maybe it is partly confidence but he has these games here and there where he just says f it, I want the ball and I'm looking to score. This game called for it and he did just that. Sometimes he does things in those stretches that catch you by surprise and then you start wondering why he doesn't do it more.

    Siakam has expanded his skillset but that's not his game. He needs to go back to how he was playing in 18-19.
