RAPTORS POSTCAST: Wembanyama stymied, but half-court offense DISAPPEARS late vs. Spurs
Zulfi Sheikh and Duane Notice recap the Toronto Raptors’ 110-107 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Despite leading by 12 points entering the fourth quarter, and doing plenty to contain Victor Wembanyama, the Raptors were outscored 32-17 to close and failed to capitalize late. Toronto is now 4-15 vs. top 10 teams in the NBA.

Raps are almost there…these lessons are hard but they are making progress. The hardest step is to go from good to great. This was an exciting game even though it didn't end in a win.

Even if you neutralize Wemby, it will be very difficult to beat a defense anchored by him; he is one of the greatest defenders of all time.
Just call him Wemby if you can’t pronounce his full last name.
Pistons a Raps blew their load no way the refs gonna let team flat out be dirty against wemby anymore especially since the spurs win anyways
Raptors need to improve their half court offense. been a problem most of the season.
teams won't always miss free throws late to help the raptors.
Set the starting line up to be more defensive:
PG Immanuel Quickley
SG Brandon Ingram
SF Collin Murray Boyles
PF Scottie Barnes
C Jacob Poetl
You have IQ, BI and SB for offense, anything CMB & Jacob gives you is a bonus.
The bench can rock with:
PG Jamal Shead
SG Ja'Kobe Walter
SF RJ Barrett
PF Sandro Mamu
C Trace Jackson Davis
If you have to go deep in the bench then you have Battle, Isaiah and Gradey.
