deh wont win tonight.  Indy has them figured out and I don't see that Toronto has any alternative save Valencunis.

I was asking myself the question all season long: should a team shut down Raptor guards what would they do ::confused::

well that is what Indy did second half Saturday.  they picked up Lowry/DeRozan early, kept them up around the perimeter, all but eliminating good routes to the basket.  cluttering up the lanes shut out DeRozan attacking the rim his strong suite.

Valencunis was having a good day because of Indy's focus on the Raps guards.  he is the only option they have that may make a positive difference but he must avoid fouls.

Toronto desperately needs real talent at the 3 or 4... or both

Lowry is neither a consistent star type nor clutch player.  DeRozan is better but the Raps need 3 point shooting in a big way tonight.  they got to cut loose on the 3 pointers tonight neutralizing the Indy trap on the guards..as well as to use Valencunis on the inside, up on the rim.

but Masai must get at least one really talented 3 or 4.  maybe Powell will develop into a quality forward.  there is too much dead wood on the Raps bench as threes and fours.  for gods sakes why don't they let Ross go.  he is not a real contributor.  he cant..he is not good enuff.

Cory Joseph is doing a very decent job. Biyombo as well.  but there is a bunch of players on the Toronto roster who collectively do not make any dam positive difference at all when the chips are down.  Terrence Ross, Jason Thompson, James Johnson, Patrick Patterson, Lucas Nogueira, Bruno Caboclo...all these guys combined do not rate one talented 3 or 4.

Luis Scola is supposed to be clutch in the play offs due to his world of experience.  what the hell happened to him Saturday ::confused::

Real talent Masai.  you have to pay for real talent. pay for it..not 60 mil for guys like DeMarre Carroll.

I want to see Carroll on George tonight.  he has to shut down George.  can he do it? not likely

I am not watching this game.....but:

I know that Indy will try to shut down thr Raps guards..which would give Caey to attack with the 3, 4 and 5.

the attack 5 is Valencunis...and his best attack forward is Powell.  he has to play those 2 guys attack with them and make Indy pay, while freeing up the guards.

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
