    The same basically. But Porter is much stronger and isn't bothered as much by someone bodying him.

    Trent was just as quick as Green, but stronger. So even when Green got past him he just poked the ball away

    Alright thanks for the recap. Siakam is an excellent defender no doubt.

    Jalen needs to save this tape. This is a perfect game for him as he heads into the off-season.

    I was more insinuating that the Rox shot 70% FG in the first Q vs Raptors 39-40%.

    The D was there sparingly but you knew which team got hot but couldn't sustain it.

    Welcome, if JG scores at least 15, the game is won easily, just saying, tanking or not.

    It was more than that imo. He looked lethargic.
    Didn't run the court well in transition.

    At one point it looked like Kenyon was telling him he
    should've cut to the rim

    Got a nice block of a Raptor at the rim though

    Green was defended like Harden was....almost double teamed at 3-pt line on numerous occasions. Forcing the ball out of his hand.

    Had ball knocked away by the long arms of Trent, Barnes, Siakim and others when he did try to attack.
    They hit us with a lot of zone as well. #3 defense for
    a reason. Long and fast.....well suited for zone defense

    Didnt matter if it was Siakam or Barnes defending KPJ, he ate them all up.

    Or switch defense.

    Raptors can do it all defensively.

    Not counted as a block, Raptor missed shot instead.

    Looked like a helluva block tho.

    It wasn't really a block. Watanabe just missed the dunk and got blocked by the rim. The elevation on Green was damn impressive, though.

    I think Green Slapped the ball the moment it hit the rim

    You can see in this slo-mo that it looked pretty much like a whiff when you see the dunk actually hit the rim as Jalen's arm flies by and hit the backboard (I think). He may have affected the dunk/shot, though.
