I agree with your take here. I think it’s a bit early to start judging the BBQ lineup, but the defence is definitely concerning. Quickly, Barrett and Dick are so weak defensively that it makes their starting lineup almost unplayable. I think the offence will start clicking after sometime, but the defence is a real concern for the long term.
RJ consistently lacks effort on defense, that combined with the lack of FT ability means he can't be a building block of a fun team. I'd prefer Gradey be used as a microwave scorer.
BBQ has hardly any min's together. They been on the team together for a while yes, but all three havnt got to play. They still need to build legitimate game chemistry. Thats why this season was so important and unfortunatley alot of time was wasted due to injury.
So you want Barnes to put up 30pts while taking on the toughest defensive assignment in Cade . Guarding him 1 vs 1 coverage while making good reads on the offensive end only for his team mates, especially starters to brick or made dumb mistakes.
Pascal would have walked for free and we still would have had a bidding war with the knicks and others to keep OG. Had to trade Og or we would have had 2 players walk for nothing
@@dancingbabybinsI think pascal most likely wouldve stayed but the stakes were too high. OG was definitely a goner which is a shame Because hes the perfect #3. If we couldve gotten IQ out of siakam and kept og that wouldve been nice
@JBRitchie8 .... because Og plays the type of defense that demoralizes the other team when healthy. Offense hardly matters when most teams only have 1 player that plays physical defense in their starting rotation
And should have been benched. Same thing Darko do to others should be doled out to him & other starters if not playing well. Darko iced Boucher after he got the team back in the gm. He did not play much in the 2nd half.
So what do you want from SB Will? The offense ran through IQ . He took too many possessions along w/ RJ. Continue to pass the ball to RJ even though he was bricking. Scottie made a lot of good reads & was passing the ball. Go and look in the 1st half especially. YAK & IQ getting wide open shots off passes from Barnes & brick. There was a possession in the 3Q where Scottie passed to IQ & instead of shooting the 3 he passed to.RJ who was bricking all night when he is the better shooter. 2 assists to 2 turn overs from IQ is terrible.
Remember all the IQ is jason Kidd and Scottie needs to become jason Tatum talk? Heres the issue Scottie is clearly our best playmaker and our media and many of the fanbase cant even comprehend that just because he’s 6’9 doesn’t mean he’s not a point guard. You dont have Magic Johnson and then ask him to become Carmelo Anothony. Yall crucified Scottie for having 8 to’s but Cade had 8 to’s this game and no one is questioning whether he should play a new position. I hate the narratives because it shouldn’t be IQ vs Scottie or Scottie vs RJ etc. Just look at it for what it is, they complement each other really well if we have them play in there natural roles playing to their strengths. IQ is a scorer who also is an improving play maker and need to be in the secondary play making role. That helps scottie for when he needs to be more aggressive and score. Then scottie running the show, the team runs at it best and the ball is in our best player/ decision makers hand. I dnt understand how yall dont see it but i guess because its not conventional people cant see it. Theres more issues related to defence also but that gonna require some personal change probably something we cant address till offseason.
Motorcade! Cade is better than Scottie don’t get it twisted. Raptors have more talented team but it just comes down to coaching. Darko makes no adjustments. Bottom line he’s lost the room.
Don't get it twisted. Detroit is a much more talented team right now. Put Scottie on the Pistons and they are guaranteed a playoff spot. Scotties guys can't make any shots and don't play defense while Scottie is doing everything on that end too.
@ hahaha…Cade is a better overall player. Playmaker? Cade is 2nd in the L with assists. SB plays defence on occasion. Cade going to the all star game, stats don’t lie.
@@Dennyg289 stop. Harris is better than RJ? Beasley or Hardway better than Dick and IQ? Duren better than Poetl? And outside of maybe Amen Thompson and Ivey didn’t even play. Pistons bench is a bunch of scrubs. And don’t say Scottie on the pistons is a not playoff team. The another difference between them is Cade is a leader, SB is not at this point of his career. Here comes Motorcade!
@jcathletics Go take a victory lap b/c this will be you all championship since Detroit will not be anywhere near a consistent playoff team in the next decade or more much less to sniff a chip.
Will you said it: RJ, IQ& Gradey only wants to score. They don't want to do the dirty work but BARNES should & still have the energy to put up points & grab rebounds while also lead? Which franchise player is ask to do all that? Some of these Raps fans are pathetic.
Did you see the draft class? I wouldn't prioritize winning either. I don't blame Scottie for struggling sometimes when his main guys don't try on defence.
Will so vets are better than Raps vets. So stop it. Beasly has made 125 3's so far. Good for 5 in the NBA. In the last 3 wks they are up to 7 in 3pt fg %. I hate when you have these pods w/o doing your research.
Free Chris Boucher because he deserves to be on a contender.
So does poeltle lol but only if the deal is right
Funny what happens to a team's defense when you replace 2 of their 3 top defenders with 2 guys who don't care to try on defense.
and they weren't even good defensively last year before the trades
this is the worst game from RJ i've ever seen. the defence was abysmal
Gradey and RJ cannot be on the floor at the same time.
It’s not it. BBQ can’t be a core 3 if only one of them plays defence.
Yeah, and even then scotties defense isnt at its full potential when hes picking up so much slack
I agree with your take here. I think it’s a bit early to start judging the BBQ lineup, but the defence is definitely concerning. Quickly, Barrett and Dick are so weak defensively that it makes their starting lineup almost unplayable.

RJ consistently lacks effort on defense, that combined with the lack of FT ability means he can't be a building block of a fun team. I'd prefer Gradey be used as a microwave scorer.
I'd trade him to Detroit for Beef Stew, Holland and Klintman. Detroit wants to win now and they're terrible at developing players.
BBQ has hardly any min's together. They been on the team together for a while yes, but all three havnt got to play. They still need to build legitimate game chemistry. Thats why this season was so important and unfortunatley alot of time was wasted due to injury.
Question? Hey Will how does it feel to get your first dnp? Lol for not goin live after game
So you want Barnes to put up 30pts while taking on the toughest defensive assignment in Cade . Guarding him 1 vs 1 coverage while making good reads on the offensive end only for his team mates, especially starters to brick or made dumb mistakes.
32:23 MAKE Jack go to Detroit to announce a game? It's his job man! Sheesh. We should all be so lucky to endure such a hardship.
bbq aint it unfortunately
I felt like the problem was that when rj and Grady aren’t scoring they aren’t benefiting the team in any way. No off ball offence or defence
Masai needs to give this core a legit POA defender at the 3 and a backup/starting center that can defend the paint. Gradey can come off the bench
Daniel gafford would feed fsmilies on the raptors
You should check out Joseph Tugler best defender this draft. Danny Wolf great stretch 5.
Don’t forget BBQ + Grady
BBQ ain’t happening. We getting rained out.
It’s bbq chicken on defense 😢
I'd give one of the stars to Shead, man
Can on a non defender like Grady and RJ learn good defence overtime??
Defense is terrible.
Bbq should be in the kitchen and not on the basketball floor. The puzzle doesnt fit. OG was a better fit with Scottie.
Pascal would have walked for free and we still would have had a bidding war with the knicks and others to keep OG. Had to trade Og or we would have had 2 players walk for nothing
@@dancingbabybinsI think pascal most likely wouldve stayed but the stakes were too high. OG was definitely a goner which is a shame Because hes the perfect #3. If we couldve gotten IQ out of siakam and kept og that wouldve been nice

hey man
hey buddy
just recently hit the big 4o
alex doesnt care at all😭
My goodness, Barrett is terrible at playing defense.
And should have been benched. Same thing Darko do to others should be doled out to him & other starters if not playing well. Darko iced Boucher after he got the team back in the gm. He did not play much in the 2nd half.
The monitor reflection in your glasses is distracting. Consider adjusting your lighting
So what do you want from SB Will? The offense ran through IQ . He took too many possessions along w/ RJ. Continue to pass the ball to RJ even though he was bricking.

It was 109-109 & Raps missed 4 fts both Yak & RJ zapped all the momentum Raps had.
The defense is basically nonexistent with the starters. Bring Grady off the bench, start Ochai instead.

BBQ looked cooked
GOODBYE MASAI BOBBY AND DARKO. Interest leaving fast. Train has already wrecked. Nothing left to see.
Motorcade! Cade is better than Scottie don’t get it twisted. Raptors have more talented team but it just comes down to coaching. Darko makes no adjustments. Bottom line he’s lost the room.

You are a troll. When Cade can play defense & playmake like SB come talk to me.

the early injuries were a blessing in disguise. they need to get somebody as good if not better rhan scottie in this draft
Will you said it: RJ, IQ& Gradey only wants to score. They don't want to do the dirty work but BARNES should & still have the energy to put up points & grab rebounds while also lead? Which franchise player is ask to do all that? Some of these Raps fans are pathetic.
I have no idea how to assess this team. The only thing that is becoming more and more clear is that this team does not want to win.
Did you see the draft class? I wouldn't prioritize winning either. I don't blame Scottie for struggling sometimes when his main guys don't try on defence.
I feel like ever since we went with "vision 6'9" (nice), it just kinda went down hill.
Boucher should get an extension.
He just turned 32, on a young team. Makes no sense to extend Chris.
Will so vets are better than Raps vets. So stop it. Beasly has made 125 3's so far. Good for 5 in the NBA. In the last 3 wks they are up to 7 in 3pt fg %. I hate when you have these pods w/o doing your research.
