Without Jakob Poeltl, Toronto Raptors draw dead against contending Thunder | Jonathan Mogbo rules!
The Toronto Raptors, down Jakob Poeltl, got it handed to them by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, as Shai Gilgeous-Alexanders’ team stomped the Raps 129-92 to snap Toronto’s two-game winning streak. In Episode 1764, Sean Woodley goes solo to recap the loss and where the absence of Poeltl was most felt, review Jonathan Mogbo’s career-high 17-point night in another round of Toxic Positivity Friday, Chris Boucher’s struggles, hard lessons and more. Off the top, Sean digs into the Raptors’ struggles adapting to live without Jakob Poeltl, who missed the game with an illness, and without whom Toronto’s offense had very little chance of getting much going against a suffocating Thunder defense. Next, Sean keeps Toxic Positivity Friday rolling with a look at Jonathan Mogbo’s 17-point night in which he flashed all kinds if micro-skills that make it easy to let your imagination run wild. Lastly, Sean runs through The Good (the importance of getting smoked once in a while), The Bad (Chris Boucher’s magic waning) and The Hmmm (the Thunder’s enviable but irreplicable team build) the close out the show.

Bro, I can't do Boucher, Fernando & Mitchell no more, I'm at the point where I change the channel when they on the floor to avoid cursing or get depressed…
The guys start the game with out a plan. It was as if Darko had no game prep, guys didn't watch film& read scouting report on OKC's players. I saw OKC deployed the most defensive schemes I have seen all season on Scottie ( double, triple & box & 1) while Shai was getting 1 vs 1 coverage with DM being the best defender on him. No ball or player movenent. And when thry do pass it was sloppy. SB was not able to get the ball when he was in the post. Not nuch screening for guys to get open. It is as if Yak is the only 1 can that can set screens.
OKC's rebuild took almost 4 yrs. Presti had FRP picks since then that turned out to be bust. If they don't win a chip then it means nothing. And no they won't be the next dynastic team in the next 10 yrs. Regular season wins are different from play off success & wining chips. The new CBA will make sure that happen. As good as Shai is he is no Jokic, Lebron or Michael Jordan.
