On Tuesday night, Toronto provided a 48-minute glimpse of what the rebuilt-on-the-fly Raptors could be and it was almost blinding. michaelgrange has the story:
Each club showed their intentions early both by the measure of their energy and the quality of play. The Raptors first possession saw the ball touch every player and all edges of the floor before Siakam missed a wide-open three, but it was the process that counted. Three of the Raptors first four field goals were assisted, while five of Boston’s first seven came from good ball movement.
Before the game each club acknowledged that they’re still trying to find themselves as the season heads down the stretch. "We kind of are where we are right now," said Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, implying his club is trapped somewhere between good and how good they can really be. "I think it’s continuing to learn through these last 20 games, especially for us, we’ve got some new guys and we’re still trying to figure out a few things here and there.
"I think I know what we’ve been and I know who we can be," said Celtics head coach Brad Stevens, whose team was spanked by the lowly Chicago Bulls in their last start, one of a number of head-scratching losses they’ve had litter their record. "I have a good idea. Ultimately, we’ll see if we get there. Ultimately we’ll have to play better than we did the other night to be who we want to be.
