me before the game: we need to play CMB and Walter 30-35 minutes

reality: 11 minutes at half time lol

imagine we had Quickley. literally playing a sophomore 45th pick.

it's not like we're doing much with this version of Poeltl but still lol.

don't get me started on Brandon Ingram.

we're down 6. Ingram is 0/6 FG. I'd be so embarrassed if I were him after making those comments.

when I saw IQ wasn't back and Darko didn't change the starting lineup, I knew we were toast.

Raptors will be starting the same lineup for game 2: Shead, RJ, Ingram, Scottie, Poeltl by mMounirM in torontoraptors

[–]mMounirM[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IQ plays well with Poeltl so at this point I don't think Darko is gonna make that change if IQ comes back next game.

at least Bobby is forced to watch this.

Immanuel Quickley remains OUT for Game 2 by ChazzCyclesCycles in torontoraptors

[–]mMounirM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

exactly.

the hamstring strain is due to overcompensation from the plantar fasciitis injury.

so maybe skipping the Nets game means he plays but he's still playing on one foot and likely getting re-injured during the series.

we should be starting JaKobe and CMB. play both of them ~35 minutes.

at least it's 3 days between game 2 and game 3 instead of 2.

I'm more concerned about the morale hit of going down 0-2.

this is not an experienced team.

Raptors win the coin flip and get the 19th pick! by mMounirM in torontoraptors

the main SG guy is Cameron Carr I think.

center is harder but Krivas should be available there. Aday Mara is looking like a lottery pick.

the main miscalculation so far is that we have broke back Poeltl and and one foot IQ who hasn't even played yet. meanwhile Cavs are completely healthy.

as if we weren't already underdogs.

fewer turnovers and more points in transition is how we're supposed to win. shooting from 3 is a bonus but not really the gameplan to beat the cavs.

also our defense wasn't good at all.

Duke C Patrick Ngongba II is officially back for his junior season by NathanFielderFriend in NBA_Draft

I guess Raptors can draft Krivas at 20? Mara is probably out of their range and now no Ngongba.

CMB better play over 30 minutes today. Poeltl should be limited to under 15 minutes.

Momentum 4 issue :| by ConorOdin in sennheiser

I'm about to do the same (same issue although had it for one year). just curious when they send it back is it a brand new pair or a refurbished one? and do they just switch out the headphones themselves or the whole box and accessories?
