Game #50: Toronto Raptors 110 - Portland Trail Blazers 103

Regression to the mean is a bitch.

Playoff basketball is gonna be hard to watch this year if we revert to this.

Ross' body language at the end of the 3rd was awful on that last possession. Barely was inbounds, walked away as DeMar drove the paint. He's frustrated.

I would be too. If I invited my high school friends and was playing like shit.

The gameplan was clearly to have Kloe and DeMoney shoot for 300 points and play no defence.

The results aint half bad

Always so many excuses for Ross. He is here to take and make shots from the perimeter. If not getting a few touches on the offensive end is going to make him go super cold that's on him. And I am not saying Kyle and Demar shouldnt pass to him more cause they should but when they do he needs to hit shots. No excuses.

Not touching the ball on offense would be my thought. He's had a good offensive night so far, and was frozen out of hte offense in the 3rd.

Did he tell you this?

All shooters go cold if they don't get touches. It's a fact of basketball. It's not a 'Ross' thing.

I think the problem with the CoJo/DD/Ross/PPat/JV is that CoJo isn't really a PG. He's going a shooting guard mentality like DeRozan so there's not really a creator out there.

Think DD needs to realize that when Lowry's not out there he needs to be more of a point guard because after Lowry he's the best playmaker on the team.

Special asked for speculation, I gave it. Read the post I quoted for fucks sake.

People are just going to say "This is why Lowry and DeMar take all the shots", but the way we played the third it's not surprising the other guys went cold.

so hypothetically if ross made that shot you wouldn't use that as validation of your point?
