    This is why we pay $70 for a 300-level ticket to watch the Raps play Orlando on Valentine’s Day in the middle of February.

    >The screen is the newest addition to the practice facility and makes the Raptors the first team in the league to install a screen of such size into their gym, a spokesperson for the team said. It’s nothing particularly revolutionary but rather acts as a way to disseminate information easily to the players while holding them accountable for their performance.

    >On Tuesday, for example, Gary Trent Jr. and Josh Jackson led the team with five deflections apiece while Scottie Barnes and D.J. Wilson each collected three assists. Having that data on the wall allows the players to be accountable for their stats without being constantly reminded by the coaching staff where they rank, Siakam said.

    >”It’s just like you can glance up there and see that, man, like I had one deflection last game like maybe I should do better or whatever the case might be. So I think that is a different way to just communicate with us.”

    Love it. The whole team can see who isn’t doing the little things and that will breed good habits when you have an environment like ours and everyone, first man or 20th, is held accountable.
