In 3 straight games, Raptors defense shut down Lebron, Kawhi, and Lilliard

[STATUTORY]

held them to


Lebron 5/15 - 13pts

Kawhi 2/11 - 12pts

Lillard 2/11 - 9pts


Had portland so shook they went out and immediately signed Carmelo Anthony :biggums:

Nick Nurse :bowdown:

[superduper]

I still think we'll need to add someone else to shut down the superstars come playoff time but hopefully they keep this up :applause:

You mean shutting down someone like Embiid? :oldlol: :roll:

Agree. The stars you are

[PickernRoller]

These "stars" these days struggle the second they see some physicality to the point they look "shutdown".... as if the Bad Boy Pistons are putting clamps on them. They're becoming used to getting free buckets every time down the court with little to no resistance. Sad to see.

Props to the Raptors for at least trying.

I agree. The team is just one piece away from title contention :applause:

[red1]

length and speed have always been the most important attributes for defense plus nurse's defensive schemes doubling stars at the right times


OG siakam gasol and boucher on the court at the same time means someone is getting locked down


clamps

Doncic is furious. :lol :lol

[Hawker]

Didn't shut down Doncic.

[Duncan21formvp]

They need an Embiid.

[Real Men Wear Green]

Jaylen Brown gad 25 on 11/20. JB > Lebron and Kawhi.

Both him and Tatum with the 25/9/4 stat line vs raps.

Both him and Tatum with the 25/9/4 stat line vs raps.Really we have to ask if the celtics have a player that isn't better than James and Leonard. Maybe over of the G League guys? But Tacko Fall is pretty popular, and that has to count for something.
