Toronto Raptors Team News

The Raptors entered the new season with a new coach, Darko Rajakovic, whose first term as head coach will be a real test for both him and the Raptors. It is quite difficult to “step into the shoes” left by Nick Nurse, but Rajakovic has proven to be one of the most respected assistant coaches in the league and now he wants to prove himself with the young and promising Raptors team.

Rajakovic and the Raptors got their first victory in the opening game against the Timberwolves, who they defeated as hosts by three points, and the team was led by the excellent Dennis Schroder with 22 points. In the match against the Wolves, they had a lot of trouble with the jump, but in the end they won. The Raptors expect a lot from Scottie Barnes this season, who worked a lot and improved during the summer in all segments of the game, especially in playmaking. The Raptors are a very mobile team where all players shoot well from a distance. This season too, a lot will depend on the play of Pascal Siakam, who, above all, with his experience in both directions, will be a key factor for the Raptors’ game. His percentages at the beginning of the season are much worse, but Siakam is struggling with injuries and we believe that he will get better as the season progresses.

The Raptors are playing a back-to-back game after they played an away game against the Bulls yesterday and were defeated in overtime. It is simply unbelievable what the Raptors players gambled away. They even had +17 points with 5 minutes left in the match, but even that wasn’t enough. The finish was particularly strange in the last 20 seconds, where a real roller-coaster that only the NBA can offer! In the end, the more experienced Bulls team managed better and won.

They had no solution from the excellent Derozan, who scored 33 points. In the match against the Bulls, Toronto also played team basketball with a large number of assists, which eventually led to the fact that as many as 6 players scored in double figures. Barnes had a triple-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds and assists.

Philadelphia 76ers Team News

The Sixers didn’t change much this summer, but it was quite a turbulent one for all 76ers fans. Nick Nurse arrived on the bench and did a fantastic job with the Raptors and led them to a championship ring. Now he will try to do the same with the 76ers, but he has a lot of work ahead of him. First of all, he has to set the authority and distribution of roles and that all players give their maximum performance. A lot of problems and turbulence were caused during the summer by James Harden, who also asked for a trade from Philadelphia. The big question is what will happen to Harden, and what is his fate in the 76ers? Harden will not be in this match either.

What is especially important for the 76ers this season is that they have a large number of players that Nurse prefers, namely tough guys who are ready to do the dirty work in the defense, but also to deliver in the attack. First of all, we think of Oubre Jr, Tucker, and Beverley. In the absence of Harden, Maxey, and Melton will get a lot of width and space, who force much faster basketball than Harden, and also bring much more defensively.

In the first match of this season, the Sixers were defeated by the Bucks away from home, but they left a very good impression. Simply, Lillard was in his element and the 76ers were defeated by half a basket. Maxey led the team with 31 points and 8 assists. In the match against the Raptors, a much better performance is expected from Joel Embiid, who is physically much more powerful than the Raptors’ centers.
