Zion was literally double and triple teamed every time he touched the ball and put up 15/10 on 7/9 shooting. His turnovers have to get better, but I don't think that's "arse" worthy

When was the last time we held a team under 100 points
I had already looked it up lol

99 would be the 3rd lowest we gave up all of last season.

94, 98 and 99 were our top 3 last season.

Great Win! Loved the rotations from SVG.

For about a decade, we've watched this team get leads on good teams, then blow it late. Its so nice to actually win one of those.

He was winded at times and he still has that nasty habit of putting the ball on the floor and trying to break the double and triple of teams.

Led the team with 6 turnovers... that's arse.

Beat a quality team with Zion playing like arse.

That bodes well going forward.

And 10 of 20 from the line, and 24 turnovers.

Zion really was bad on both sides tonight.

Came out slow but really turned it up 2nd half. I really feel confident with the ball in his hands.

He was pretty bad. On top of the 6 turnovers, felt like he lost the handle on the ball another 3 or 4 times that we ended up getting back.

Still looks lost on D, and the lack of effort is still there a lot of the time. As well as looking tired too often.

Great win. What an incredible 180 early in the 3rd quarter. Could we actually have a coach here?


Only ONE foul in the 3rd quarter (Hayes)

Hes not letting the game come to him on offense, he's forcing waaaay too much.

No doubt. Toronto is a tough matchup for Zion. Just an all around good D annually, and constant double trans and just building the wall.

Refs would not let them get into any kind of flow in the first half. They swallowed their whistles in the 3rd quarter and Pels took over.

Amazing what having a coach that makes half time adjustments does for a team.

Was also glad with all the guard depth we have that they got NAW in the game early. Still think he can develop into a good player for us, but needs some minutes. Hit a nice 3 for us i believe in the 2nd quarter.

Interesting that in game 1 we basically had an 8 man rotation with Hayes and NAW getting minimal minutes as the 9th and 10th guy to play.

No team we play this year except for maybe Miami will switch up defenses on a player as much as Toronto does. They will play any defense under the sun and send you 5 different looks in a quarter.
