One of our best players had his lung collapse
Do we know how long he's gone for?
He's starting to get back into practicing but I don't expect to see him for another week or two at the earliest
-
a car hit Oubre (allegedly)
-
we aren't getting up enough 3's
-
no one can handle the ball reliably. Even Maxey struggles at times, but the non-Maxey minutes are genuinely unwatchable.

Embiid is still a bit inconsistent, especially defensively. His last game vs the Cavs was a peak example: lazy defense for 2.5 quarters, DPOY to close the game.
Identity crisis
nah, bamboo development
Consistent play, Next-steps from the young guys, And injuries as per usual.
Too many Raptors fans kissing the FO's ass is the biggest issue with the Raptors. This team is stuck at .500 and people think it's totally fine. I don't get it
Pick and roll defense Turnovers And cte drives
All of our good POA defenders have been hurt at one point or another this season and we can't score without our 39 year old player on the floor.
Wiggins and Klay slump (although they’ve played better as of late) and Draymond not playing
Wiggins and Klay drop off along with our defense being ass
Spacing
Defense, specificly fast pg or against good bigs (so like always)
Existence
Offense. 3 point shooting and generally disappointing start from scoot. But then we have our biggest offensive players out in Simons
Can't defend and can't rebound consistently. But goddamn do I love watching the offense cook.
Now - injury🥴
4th quarter offensive identity and injuries. Fuck that court in Cleveland, Dru was off to a promising start to his big breakthrough.
We will be fine though.
No backup PF.
Quickley deserves to start at SG, but the bench would have no primary ball handler if he got moved into the starting lineup.
Backup PG
Celtics are soft as usual, can’t handle strong physicality and the bench is pretty thin.
Oh boy.. where do I begin? At least they’ve finally picked a direction for the team (down)
Our team sucks when their best player is on the floor
Celtics 3 point shooting. When we are hitting our shots we blow teams out, when we are not, its a close game.
