NBA 2018-19: 3 Talking points from the Philadelphia 76ers' blowout win over the Toronto Raptors

#2 Three of the five Raptors starters combined for just 20 points

Greg Monroe has started just two games for the Raptors this season

Nick Nurse went with Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Greg Monroe, and Danny Green as the starting lineup against Philly, only to realise that this was a combination not to be used ever again.

Monroe, Green, and Anunoby scored 6, 9 and 5 points respectively, failing miserably in dominating the Sixer first hand. For a specialised shooter, Green shot an abysmal 3-of-12 from the field and could convert just one of the five three-pointers he attempted in his 25 minutes of play.

Monroe and Anunoby played 20+ minutes each but finished with less than 10 points to their name. Siakam was the only bright spot, dropping a team-high score of 26 points despite missing all of his six long-range shots.

All-star guard Lowry had a hard time netting jumpers from deep as he could only make 2-of-9 from distance, contributing 20 points to the Raptors sinking cause.
