Toronto Raptors’ depth needs to be better if they want to buck the Bucks Globe_Sports
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton puts pressure on Toronto Raptors guard Danny Green in the fourth quarter in game one of the Eastern conference finals of the 2019 NBA Playoffs at Fiserv Forum.Following their fourth-quarter letdown in Wednesday’s Game 1, the Raptors had some thoughts on strategy.
If this goes wrong, someone’s going to create a Toronto basketball enemies list. Right now, Green’s on it . Since he is out of contract in the next few days, that would be unfortunate for him. These guys aren’t paid for deep thoughts. They’re paid for tunnel vision. Green somehow balances the two things.He has a podcast. I know, I know. You probably have a podcast, too. But unlike yours, Danny Green’s is interesting and people other than his girlfriend listen to it.
“We gotta try and get Danny some easy ones,” said Kyle Lowry, as if such a thing existed at this level.“Obviously, offensively, I’m not the guy they’re going to draw up a bunch of plays for,” Green said.Green was sitting there in a Jack-Armstrong-wearing-a-crown T-shirt looking just a teensy bit irritated. Whether at himself or the situation was hard to say. It was one of those interviews where the question that goes unasked – “What’s going on with you?” – is the one dominating conversation.
The glass half-empty version: 13 games into the postseason, we know what this team is about and might as well get used to it.The most obvious applicant for that position is Green. He’s on the floor a lot. Like any marksman, he’s a streaky shooter. If you need to get out to him as a matter of urgency, that creates one more human-shaped hole for Leonard and Lowry to go through.And we’re not talking about playing above himself. Green is still providing top-drawer defence.
