Honest question is, how could anyone justify pulling him and settle on a super long stretch of Maxi fn Kleber and polishing this turd off with DP? Im not asking for Holmes to be over exposed with heavy minutea vs any team in every situation but this was exactly more of the same boneheaded sht we have seen.

I would agree we need a back up to Lively, but THATS not even worth pursuing unless DP, Maxi (thj?) have been taken out of the toybox completely or Kidd will play with them.
His man was 5-5 for 100% shooting against him. When he hit the floor the Raptors licked their lips. It just so happened that during his time on the floor we hit a couple of threes in so he was +1, but he was abused defensively.

You could say that Kleber and Powell were too, and you'd be right. Raptors wanted to get into the paint and our bigs let them. Holmes was just terrible on his man and provided no help defense which is why he was unplayable, but you are right-- he wasn't worse than Kleber. They were both awful.
