Needlessly nerfing yourself if not

He’s on pace for that. I thought the rotations were much better also. We even got a Martin sighting.

Some really nice passes to Cooper. He already has a nice feel playing with a big. Really nice feel overall. He has a chance to be so good.

I am just so surprised how poor the defense is. Whether you thought it was elite or not, I was expecting at least to start the season..

Mavs had their first lead of the second half this year. Unfortunately it lasted 5 seconds.

Flagg is improving game to game, quarter to quarter, as is the others’ understanding of how to play with him.

Lively has been great tonight.

DLO needs to play these minutes every night, and it’s so obvious.

Cooper is closer and closer to accepting he's the best player 
He was in denial the first couple games

I can’t believe how befuddled Lively has the raptors every time they get the ball into the paint. Unbelievable.

Get cooper in space and building up steam and he is lethal.

Lively gets a rest and immediately, momentum slows.

Davis needs to get into top shape soon. I know it’s just the weird eye injury that messed up his summer, but it’s still frustrating.

I am trying not to be harsh but AD sure feels like an energy vampire.

The ball is starting to move, and it’s working.

He has been a little slow up and down the court to start this season, and his rebounding hasn’t been as energetic as I like, but then again he just prevented two good shots on one possession just now as I was typing this.

I just don’t think he is quite as conditioned as he normally is at the moment. Have patience.

Best play of the season so far. Much better when aggressive and running. Let’s see if they can keep out of a slump here in the fourth.

Nice moments by AD. Martin too on defense. Wish he could shoot. Imagine fouling AD on a super long two jumper. Wow

Man Toronto has solid nba players but man I am not sure I would touch many of them at their salaries. Barnes looks good though.

Great minutes from DLO again. Sad to see him go out.

Good Lord, if flagg is going to be able to make the defense pay for going under on him as a rookie, he is going to be really good really fast.
