No surprise that the Raptors lost to the Atlanta Hawks 96-78 a season low for the Raps. How many times is the media going to mention that Reggie Evans is not in the line up. Reggie isn't the reason for today's lost. They were out rebounded 44-41.The only thing that would have changed with Reggie in the line is that there would be more second chances and Josh Smith might not have had 13 rebounds.
Get over it! Raptors need to find ways to win without Reggie Evans. The fact is that Raptors live and die with the jump shot. You can't win consistently in the NBA if you are just a jump shooting team. Every time DeMar DeRozan drive to the hoop something positive happens. So why on almost every single position they settle for a jump shot? If you are an NBA team scouting the Raptors you let them take jump shots. Too easy for any NBA team.
Listening to the post game I can't blame coach Jay Triano he recognize the fact tha they need to "attack", you can't rely on the jump shot.
Apparently Reggie Evans is the best player on the Raptors from the media's emphasis on the fact that he is not in the line up, so why not build the team around Reggie...lol
My question is this, what would happen if let say Andrea Bargnani was to get injured? Would the Raptors have to fold for the remainder of the season?
SMH... but everything still criss
