"Jakob Poeltl has been targeted by Cleveland in the pick n' roll and his lack of speed when guarding this action has led to one of two outcomes. Either the Cleveland ball handler gets the room for a runner or floater in the lane, or a lob gets thrown to Jarrett Allen or Evan Mobley."
"Inserting CMB into the starting lineup would provide Toronto with more speed and versatility on defense, and it would also help them on the glass as well. In his minutes during the series thus far, CMB has averaged 15.5 points per game and 5.5 rebounds."
"The biggest change that Toronto needs is for Brandon Ingram to simply play better. He's averaging an abysmal 12 points per game in this series, and even when the offense was planted toward him in game 2, he still could not get going."
The Toronto Raptors are hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers for game 3 of their playoff series, currently trailing 2-0. Jakob Poeltl's performance has been under scrutiny due to his struggles in the pick and roll, leading to potential lineup changes. Collin Murray-Boyles may be inserted to enhance speed and versatility on defense. Brandon Ingram's poor scoring average of 12 points per game is a significant concern for Toronto's chances of winning. The Raptors need to make strategic adjustments to stay competitive in the series.
