His games this season are like Joe Johnson’s a couple years ago - he’ll put up numbers, but they don’t come in any meaningful, game changing way. While he continues to play alongside KD and Steph, he’s being wasted - especially when their bench sucks.
Westbrook getting quadruple doubles now with turnovers. Dude so bored of just getting triple doubles he’s giving the ball to the other team to pad his stats.
On paper Raptors have a better defensive net rating than Cavs. They also currently have the second best offensive net rating in the history of the NBA (best ever is this year’s Warriors). Despite all that I still doubt they’re good enough to win 5v8.
But I did look at the ref assignments for tonight’s game. No Scott Foster or Ed Malloy, so there’s a chance.
Still too early to write the book on any team. Anybody can turn it around with a small winning streak. But this team looks awful. Dennis is too talented to be so passive. Dwight is a role player now.
