Raps coach, at-the-half interview:

"At some point defense has to become a priority for us"

What year is this? 2008?

It's like when people complained about Mike James on the Raptors. He takes too many shots? Are you serious? When you are having that good of a shooting year, take all the shots you want. A point guard's job is to set-up the most efficient scoring play possible for your offense. If that ends up being the PG taking the shot, I say go for it.

That's only on the Raptors though. I realize Mike James totally fell off after that one yaer.

Ah okay, my bad.



@Aesirs - What's up.

Just enjoying the game. How have you been? Good thanksgiving?

Lowry, so far, has been the Raptors best scorer (and best overall player). Why would anyone have an issue with him taking shots? Sure he forces things at times but so does every single other high-volume shooter in the league. Lowry isn't even the most "guilty" player on the Raptors of doing that (Bargnani and Derozan).

Just because he's a PG, doesn't mean he shouldn't look for his own offense. If he doesn't have good efficient scorers around him, by all means take the shots yourself.

I have no problem with him looking for his own offence and I agree that he is out best scorer. The problem that I do have is him taking a tough 3 late in a game when theres still plenty of time left and the game is close.

If your going to try and do it all yourself at the end of the game, you probably should try and do it by attacking the rim because even if you miss your more likely to either get a foul call or have a chance at the rebound.

Yeah they really need to start feeding Jonas every couple trips down the floor. You gotta reward him for all his effort and keep him happy.

I agree. And if that becomes a recurring thing over the season, I'll have a problem with that too. I'm not going to pick on single plays just yet though. I do know that if I want to win the game, Lowry is the person who should be creating the plays whether it's for himself or his teammates.

Been good. Same old stuff on ISH.

Don't celebrate American thanksgiving, but I played Black Ops 2 for a while and was with some friends for the that day.
