Toronto Raptors face challenges in new offense and defense, resulting in unpredictable game outcomes. Despite moments of dominance, the team struggles to maintain consistency.
Prelude to the Best Sommelier of Canada Contest | SaltWireAs utterly unpredictable as a game like Friday’s loss in Chicago was, for a team like the Toronto Raptors undergoing a ton of change all it once, it’s not necessarily that much of a surprise.
For the first six minutes or so of the game in Chicago, that defence was on point, stifling the Bulls and scoring with relative ease at the other end. Even staggering his starters so there’s at least one or two out there with the subs most times, as soon as Rajakovic starts accessing his bench, an already challenged offence, particularly if it’s not hitting threes which was the case Friday night, becomes even more so.Gary Trent Jr. is really the only offensive weapon coming off the bench at this point.
It can’t be easy if you are Rajakovic or really any member of this team to watch that play out knowing there are proven alternatives sitting on the bench in more veteran players like Thad Young and Otto Porter Jr. and Garrett Temple.Rajakovic was asked about finding that balance between trying to win and developing after the heartbreak in Chicago and seemed to suggest that the team was still figuring that out.
