The Raptors didn’t have enough shooting (and nowhere close once VanVleet went down), a viable backup PG or a real C. Impressive season, but lots of work to be done. Boucher and Thad Young UFA but lots of space under tax to bring 1 or both back and use MLE. Trades also possible. – 9:32 PM

Vivek Jacob @vivekmjacob
just an insane half from chris boucher, siakam great, thad being subtle good as always. scottie and gary have had good moments but hurting defensively. NEED better from og and precious in the second half. – 8:11 PM

Thad Young slinging passes to a cutting Chris Boucher, forever. – 7:39 PM

Thad in for Precious, serving the duel purpose of letting Thad work against zone and saving Precious for Embiid minutes. – 7:24 PM
