Raptors @ Hornets

These next 3 games will really be telling of how well our team is playing and if we make the playoffs.

Toronto, @Detroit and Washington are all good teams in the East. If we beat all three, we make the playoff no problem.

 

Anyways, the matchups:

Mo Williams vs Kyle Lowry is gonna be big. I think Mo has to match the scoring that Lowry will bring.

Hendo's defense on DeRozen will be key. If Hendo can keep DeRozen to below or right around 18-20pts we will be in good shape.

Off the bench- Lou Williams is averaging 23.0 points in his last three games for Toronto. Gotta look at keeping him in check.

Valanciunas is the 'be all, end all' when it comes to Toronto. I don't think they can handle Al down low or work us down low with Biz and Marvin and Zeller giving effort and hustle.

 

This is the first game of 3 in 4 nights. Let's start off with a W!!!

I'm just hoping our weak ass bench will show up to play tonight and score some points.  I like what Clifford did against Brooklyn, which is give starters more minutes and mix bench players with starters instead of watching the second unit blow the lead we had built.

I don't know, the first part of the second was pretty abysmal with the bench in there.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
