Not to rationalize away a likely loss, but Toronto is actually a very good team. You would just hope the #4 defense in the NBA as of a week ago (since dropped to #7 thanks to Memphis) could get a few more stops.
They are pretty good, but they don't normally shoot anywhere close to this. I'm not watching closely enough to blame it on our D or just chalk it up to a hot team.

Another game where Julius is just not interested in playing defense.

It's both great shooting and us not making things uncomfortable enough for them defensively.

The most pathetic close out by Julius. Even Jim Pete called him out on it.
The sooner he’s off this team the better. His pathetic effort brings the whole team down.

Either Clark lost his work permit, or Juzang getting some run because he only has 2 games left of eligibility.

Our D has really dipped. Im totally fine stripping this team to the studs. Finch has been a disappointment this year. Would be surprised if he survives.

That was a hell of a find by Ant to get it to Naz in that spot

The difference in defensive effort and intensity between these two teams is astonishing

Yeah, Toronto looks like a TEAM on both ends.
I can see how the trade deadline stuff could be wearing on the team with the Giannis chatter and Godfather Conley gone (for now).
