  1. This is directed to Mogbo, Ja'kobe & Battle. The last five minutes of the game for you guys was good, not gonna say great but good. Why? because you were pressed, because there was no pressure down 30 pts, you Mogbo need to take initiative and play your big man ball like your ex-college system is. You made a 3 and 2 and the issue is, is that you look at Barnes and think that he's gonna carry the entire team. Bs. Everyone on the team plays their own role and contributions. You three named here look tight because you don't want to lose your spot on the roster. You will lose your spot on the roster if you don't hurry up and start playing to NBA standards. I know, I know it's your first year, but if I was 6'4 with such athleticism and the potential that you's have, I be a shaker and bucket taker. Even Boucher tonight showed that your playing to tight and controlled. Shai was banking money of the board by using the square that is there to assist you with angles. All a player has to do or know from repetition is the effort within himself to execute a basket. You guys play tight because Darko hasn't set you free to do what you know and that's be a dog on offense and a dog on defense. I don't know your club esthetics or codes, but when I'm playing, I'm always improvising because sooner than later improvision teaches adventurous uniqueness that makes epic plays happen and apparent through the game repetitions and many years you guys will have in the league. So go out have fun, fight like a dog because when you prove your worth in less than 3 years, you'll see the contract money that you came to deposit. Mediocre breeds mediocrity. Initiative and drive is what you must work on to be over and above average. NBA Championship contenders have very few guys as floor fillers. Look at last years team, Boston Celtics? Brown, Tatum, Prozingis, White, Pritchard, Horford the Veteran, the other big man, then you got another 4-5 guys that are above and close to 70% players and when asked to carry a role they do their utmost to fill what the Coach asks. The only way that you had any chance tonight of catching up on the best defensive team in the League was to play 18-20 seconds of ball on your offense to speed the game up and then look to grab steals and rebounds. Let's Go Raptors!!! Don't be your stats, be better than your stats because statistics are only your errors on paper. When you raise your courage through play experience your stats will be much more whom you are and look like a nice all round resume of what you bring to the bargaining table for that lucrative benjamins that not all make unless exceptional and an all round package of a baller.
