These Raptors Weaknesses Are Catching Up to Them At The Worst Time
The Raptors are heading into a brutal West Coast road trip, and some lingering issues are starting to surface at the worst possible time. Over the last few games, opponents have clearly adjusted, exposing weaknesses that Toronto has yet to fully address.
In this stream, we break down why the Raptors continue to struggle against zone defenses, how the lack of a reliable backup center becomes a major problem whenever Jakob Poeltl is unavailable, and why teams with size have consistently caused matchup nightmares. We’ll also look at what Toronto can realistically do to adjust schematically, whether there are lineup or rotation tweaks that can help, and how the coaching staff can put the roster in better positions to succeed as the schedule toughens.
With tough opponents ahead and little margin for error, this road trip could define the next stretch of the Raptors’ season. Are these problems fixable, or are they deeper roster flaws that need addressing sooner rather than later?

How do the players exercise their skills if they are not playing good minutes ?
That loss to the Lakers ( 2:07 ) was UGLY, for starters due to the margin of defeat (over 14 points).
I know what will help your knee, stop playing soccer when you have a f&cked knee!
