Meltdown against Utah Jazz was latest head scratcher
It was a troubling effort from a group that the front office had doubled down on. Rome wasn’t built in a day and I can’t imagine they miss the play-in, but I’m still thoroughly confused by the path said front office chose to take. Of course we’ll see what happens in the summer and maybe O.G. Anunoby’s injury limited the offers for him and it’s true the guard depth is non-existent, so maybe it wouldn’t have been the wisest idea to trade Fred VanVleet or Gary Trent Jr.
Or, maybe this team keeps losing games inexplicably and still ends up with a much-needed high-lottery pick? Per TSN’s excellent source for stats, Keerthika Uthayakumar: This season, the Raptors are 25-9 when they have a double-digit lead.However, Poeltl brings a lot to the table and I think they start pulling out some of these games.Speaking of Poeltl, when trying to get a sense of what his impact will be, take a look at Steven Adams and how Memphis has fared since he went down.
In the first game Poeltl showed some rim defence, rebounding, rolled well and handed out a couple of assists. He even looked to be instructing Scottie Barnes at one point. He also lit a fire under Precious Achiuwa, who was dominant early on. When Anunoby returns this team will finally have a solid bench, with Trent and Achiuwa leading the way.which jersey numbers have never been worn by a Raptor after revealing Poeltl was the first Toronto player to ever sport No. 19. .And all the best to my friend Lori Ewing, the longtime CP reporter who covered the Raptors for years as she embarks on a new journey with Reuters in England. We’ll miss her.
