Re: Raptors fans just CAN NOT BE PLEASED
For the record I don't hate TJ at all. I don't think he is irreplaceable by any means though. I am quite happy with the combo overall but want Sam to go with the hot guard down the stretch of games.
TJ just plays the game so differently than Jose that his mistakes look ten times worse. He tries to make spectacular plays instead of solid, steady plays that Jose favours. And when those plays go bad he looks very dumb for even attempting them.
Being a weaker rebounding team and also a team that shoots a good percentage it is vital to our success that we not turn the ball over very often. TJ's assist to turnover rate is quite poor and on top of that some of his bad shot decisions are like TO's as well, even though they don't count as TOs. That has to improve.
I like his jump shot when he has the open set shot, and when he backs his man up at the foul line for the easy shot, and even the little fader from inside the elbow. I can live with those shots in the flow of the offense. Those are his shots and he is shooting a decent percentage on them.
I just hope he can develop his decision making skills and we see some progress next year so we can all agree that it is happening.
