There's no question for me anymore that Pritch is a capable back-up point guard. He's so much better at keeping his dribble into the middle and passing out when everyone collapses on him.

I agree. He has flat out earned his role in the rotation this year. It helps that the line-ups he is in tend to feature some guys who can help out when he gets targeted.

I'm glad I didn't post during the 3q Toronto run. Folks who didn't watch the game would be reading back and thinking I'm the Chickenest of Littles.

Holiday has hit a ton of big shots this game. Real Raptor momentum killers.

Hopefully we can get back to getting decent shots. Last few minutes have been brutal.

Two good close shots by White and a nice kick out to Tatum 3 is good process with bad outcomes. Much prefer this late game offensive approach to what they usually do

Scoring distribution is about as good as it gets tonight.

Incredible that they've taken 12 fewer shots and they're up 9.
No JB, you figure Tatum would have to be more aggressive. He averages 19.2 FGAs and 7.1 FTAs, today he took 19 shots and 4 free throws. The balance on this team is incredible, the starting backcourt are our 4th and 5th scorers, but on a lot of teams they would be efficient 20 ppg scorers.

Love these nice Holiday games. He gets a bit of a raw deal just in terms of opportunities and recognition given how damn good the roster is but he is obviously a critical part of what has made them so good so far.

I’m enjoying Drew and Scal’s budding bromance.
Is it just me or does Drew look like/remind anyone else of the main guy from How I Met Your Mother?
Raps still 4-24 from three. Pretty brutal. But they really don't have the shooters.
Funny - TOR was 5th in NBA in 3P% over last 10 games (40%) and 9th over last 15 games (38%). Siakam was over 50% 3P shooting the prior 10 games before this one.
