So, a 7 game series vs GSW with no Curry or Green.
I'm happy the Raps won, but it was a bit too close for my liking to really get super excited considering the conditions

There were stretches where we showed that we were clearly the better team last night, but then we made enough screwups to let them back in.
One thing I'm enjoying is that Nurse has tightened his leash on CJ. CJ has been unplayable this year (and was pretty poor last year), and while it was fine to keep playing him during our early season soft schedule, now that we're facing tough opposition we just can't afford to play him if he's playing like this. He hasn't seen the court in the past 2 2nd halves.
Big dissappointment this game was Lowry, as he was in the Boston game. This is worrying because no matter what they say these are big games and big games are clearly still in Kyle's head. Hopefully kawhi and Siakam's confidence and dominance can help him settle down in this games and just play like normal. Because this team isn't doing anything if Lowry plays like that. It's great that he settles everyone else into the game but he also has to settle himself in to these games with some early shots, because he's our 2nd most important scorer.

It would be nice to get an upgrade to CJ. Not too sure how tho. Delon has been playing better as of late, FVV didn’t do much last night either.
Pascal or (kPa as I’ve started to call him. KillaPascal) has made huge improvements to his game. Should easily be in the running for most improved.

I suspect Lowry is battling an injury.
Also, not sure where to put this, but I really resent the use of the term "pit bull" to describe Kyle. We just adopted a pit bull mix from a rescue, and Kyle is nothing like her. People who use that term to describe him really don't have much experience with the breed. New pet peeve of mine.

Do you really know what Kyle Lowry is like behind closed doors, though?
Maybe he really likes to cuddle, and lick people in the face.
