Raptors are a bad match up for Mavs. OG can slow down Luka, they have forwards whom Mavs have no personnel answer for. If Mavs can’t come up with a defensive answer for the paint they aren’t going far in Western conference.

Ben Taylor did all he can to help Dallas, or any opposing team of Raptors, as usual. There was one ridiculous sequence where referees gave the ball to Dallas, back to Raptors (stepping on the line during inbound) , then back to Dallas (questionable screen call) in a space of 5 seconds with 3 consecutive calls.

Raptors fanbase needs to cool their excitement after one win. They’re still a play-in team without consistent shooting, and without consistent bench play or depth.
