    Even with all of that, it was a two point game with about two minutes left. At that point all the guys who want to win the game by themselves started to go one on however many and take bad shots. It’s at the end of close games when passing is most important that we just stop. No one trusts their teammates apparently. It’s happened repeatedly. It’s very aggravating.

    They just won’t move the ball in crunch time. It’s all one on one

    We’re actually shooting the three ball better than Golden State, although that’s not saying much. Golden State 3-18 from three, we’re 4-17. Its shots closer to the basket that we’re inexplicably missing tonight. Might be partly due to the layoff. Whole team looks sluggish.

    Starters back in and GS goes on 8-0 run. Believe it or not, our starters are 4-24 with less than 4 minutes left in first half.

    We have returned to life! I forgot we’re always bad to start off after we’ve been off a few days.

    We scored all of 11 points in the first quarter. Shot 17% overall, 0-8 from three, and none of them were very close.

    So far not happening. We are down 21-9. Can’t hit anything.

    Wasn’t the refs fault that we went 10-35 from three or that we shot 13-18 from the free throw line

    All the starters negative +/- Frantz -27. JI +26. Rarely have I seen that kind of discrepancy with two players on the same team in one game.

    Too bad, did not capitalize on a fantastic game by JI

    Last possession no one except Paulo touched the ball and he wound up shooting a bad step back three. We have to move the ball in crunch time

    Clean injury report for us as of now for today’s game. Even Jett and the two ways are listed as available

    Oh and the whole team isn’t shooting too well. 45% overall, 35% from 3.

    Turnovers for one. Markelle just can’t shoot at all at this point.

    To say this is an ugly game is more than an understatement.

    So far that’s a plus. Raptors barely have an NBA roster; I’ve never heard of about half of them. Our poor 3 point shooting and careless turnovers have been the story so far. Hopefully it will change soon.

    If they keep being tied after like the fifth overtime, is there a rule where they both lose?

    And even Cole Anthony. While I completely agree with All Eyes that our stars have reasons why they might not have confidence in other players on the floor with them, I think it’s something they need to overcome. If they never even look at the open guy in the corner, it’s not only demoralizing for those players being ignored, but again puts us into a 3 or 4 vs five situation on offense, which is unfavorable. I’d like to see our best players try to make these other guys better while they’re out there. If it doesn’t work, then get rid of those players and find someone else who can better compliment our best players.

    I might disagree with you on this a little bit. No matter who you are, driving one versus three against good NBA defenders is going to fail most of the time. Both the guys you mentioned are excellent passers, and when they get double or triple teamed they pass the ball to an open teammate. That gets to the other point that’s being made here about spacing. Those other teammates are good enough to make you pay if you double or triple team one guy, leaving them with an open shot, and that’s a difference from us. Also, our stars are not doing enough to get the other players on the floor involved, as is also being mentioned above. Houstan, for example, while standing in the corner was often open and no one even looked at him. Makes it easier on the defense if they can forget about a player or two and just help guard the others.

    Agree with everything, except to quibble with your last sentence. Wendell Carter was 5 for 13 shooting, including zero for five from three-point range. So while he may have stood out in some areas, I would not call his game “awesome” overall.

    My son and I had a good time despite the result. Atmosphere of going to a major league event is always special.

    What we need is better teamwork, better spacing, and more threats on the floor. Paulo, Franz, Wendell and Cole took about 75% of our shots tonight and none of them were shooting well.

    Ingles actually really hurt us in the fourth, two bad passes
