Raps Vs. Knicks (game thread)

[Raptorsss]

Derozan and Hansbrough have been our best pre-season players and it isn't close.

Jesus Christ, Augustin... talk about sloppy

Jesus Christ, Augustin... talk about sloppy

Raptors offense in general is pretty sloppy... Need to fix this before the reg season!

[Blacklash2k4]

As much as Fields has been absolutely brutal this pre-season, that was a pretty sick crossover. Too bad he got blocked!

[rocwell]

Fields with ankle breaker!!!

[drunkmunky]

Fields is playing angry

[Blacklash2k4]

Fields is playing angry

Question is can you use that angry to actually make baskets and not make horrible shots!

[drunkmunky]

I didn't say he was playing good lol

I just caught a glimpse of his face. Not the usual blank glare of emptiness.

[The Great One]

Lowry continues to show that he's not a starting caliber PG in this league.

[Machine]

omg I hate watching rudy shoot 3's

[drunkmunky]

Did you see him grin afterwards...

hes' like... 'oh man... did I just do that?'

you know, i'm higher on this team than most, and it's early, but...
this offense.
my goodness this offense.

admittedly i only caught a few minutes of the second unit (snuck away at work), but it is just inept.
and if the pre-season isn't the time to be testing out your offensive schemes, i don't know what is.
whether it's augustin or casey (i'm leaning towards casey), this kind of aimlesness, floating offense negates all talent levels.

the knicks were just consistently running efficient pick'n'rolls, getting open looks from 3, and the raptors were fumbling around a bit until derozan or hansborough bailed them out.
that's not sustainable.

i registered just to say that.
i feel better now.

One more behind-the-back pass from DeRozan and I will be fully satisfied.

Firstly, Welcome to Raptors Republic! Hope to see you post more in the future. Secondly, I agree! Raptors offense is concerning even for preseason. This is the perfect time to be making sloppy plays and turnovers, but it's concerning whether this will transition over to the regular season. Raptors definitely have to put things up soon!
