GT: Pacers @ Raptors: The Back To Back of all back to backs

[white men can't jump]

When's the last time David West had a bad game against the Raptors?

[ReubenJRD]

Keep running the P&R with JV, he looks active tonight. (usually does anyways)

[symbot]

Twice already that KL has tried to feed JV on his roll after setting a pick. Good sign that they try to reward his hard work.

Rudy Gay just got the superstar call right there...

[Chr1s1anL]

Rudy being aggrissive. Love it!

[ReubenJRD]

Holy shit, I jumped up off my seat on that attempt...

[Chr1s1anL]

Why can't they play like this every game?

gay consistently looks for him too

Why do the Raptors run that pin-down curl for DeRozen? That is exactly the shot the Pacers want him to take. He has to attack from there, not shoot a 20-footer.

They play better against very good teams, and play down to the sub .500 teams..

Careful.

Rather: Why can't they play this way for 48 minutes.

The curl itself isn't the problem. It's a pretty effective set. Demar just needs to keep curling tight around the screen and take it hard to the rack instead of flaring off for a long 2.

[Matt52]

if dd drive like he did vs hibbert like3-4 times a game, he is a 22 ppt scorer in the league.... maybe more cause he'd get a rep as an aggressive defender and get those 'superstar' calls.

[phez]

what the hell was jack going on about?

Yes, exactly. But they need to know what they want from that set and not just take what the defense gives them. The Pacers are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They are giving him that shot for a reason.
