Built Ford Tough Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) There is a Leaf game on half an hour after this game starts, so I'll probably watch a limited amount of this game. I want to make sure that I catch at least some of this game, though. It will be the first time I'll be able to watch Kleiza in a Raptors uniform, which I'm looking forward to. DeRozan was invisible last night, so I'm hoping he is more assertive this season. On the Sixers side, I want to see how Holiday looks and, especially Evan Turner. People have already started calling him a bust based on his play in the Summer League and his first few pre-season games, which I think is absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully Triano tightens up the rotation and actually starts to get the team to run their stuff on offense. It was embarassing watching the Raptors on offense last night seeing everybody trying to do everything individually. I know that the pre-season doesn't mean all that much, but it is about time that he starts developing a set rotation, implementing the system and defining roles offensively. Enough with the lineup experiments and handing out equal minutes. Edited October 13, 2010 by Built Ford Tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Tough break for DeRozan. It would've really boosted his confidence if he was able to knock down that second free throw and ice the game. I'm not liking the whole double OT in a pre-season game, though. It seems kind of unecessary and is just asking for an injury to occur. Seems like an exciting game and the Leaf game is over now so I'll be able to watch the 2nd OT. Jrue Holiday has looked very impressive from what I have seen. I know it is the pre-season and it is the Raptors, but a triple double is a triple double regardless. I really think he is going to have a stellar year this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) For a mid-pre-season game, this has definitely been a hard fought game as both teams are leaving it all on the floor. I know the Sixers arent playing their best lineup with guys like Iguodala, Young and Williams on the bench, but it is nice to see the Raptors putting so much effort into this game. Nice bucket by DeRozan to give them the 1 point lead, followed up by a nice defensive possession by Barbosa to create a turnover. EDIT: GREAT pass from Jack to Johnson for the slam to give the Raptors a 3 point lead with 6 seconds left in the 2nd OT. 2nd EDIT: Raptors win. Barbosa got absolutely destroyed from that Brand (I think) screen. Tough break for Holiday missing the open look, but I question whether or not he should've even been able to get that look because that definitely looked like an illegal screen. Oh well, looked like a pretty entertaining pre-season game. A lot better than the disaster that was last night against Chicago.
