The Raptors have more success with their transitional lineups than their starters.

Kind of a funny and ludicrous stat:
Victor Wembanyama currently has more total blocks to start the season than 10 teams in the NBA.

Can the Raptors defense ever deliver on it’s promise? - Raptors Republic
The Raptors have not lived up to their promise of being an elite defensive team. Do they have to change their ways or proceed on the path they've laid out for themselves?

The Rockets have 11 offensive rebounds, the Raptors have 13 TOTAL rebounds.
The only reason they're in this game is because they're shooting 12/21 from three.
Rockets put up 70 points at halftime. The Raptors have give up an average of 63 points at half to start the year.

This is what the Rockets do.
8 offensive rebounds leading to 10 second chance points.
They bludgeon you on the glass. Makes it harder to run in transition also.

Jakob Poeltl is DOUBTFUL for Wednesday’s Raptors game with lower back tightness.
He missed a few pre-season games with lower back soreness + left Spurs game early for that reason and hasn’t looked himself.
