Indeed, even ticked off, Toronto Raptors mentor Dwane Casey nailed the statement.
Miffed that his group nearly blew a 17-point final quarter lead before beating the Miami Warmth 115-112 on Tuesday night, Casey uncovered the best similarity he's maybe at any point used to clarify that his disappointment is honest to goodness on the grounds that the genuine measure of his group's ability is still to be taken.
"I'm disturbed, despite the fact that we won, since I know — I recognize what's coming around the bend," Casey said after his group ran its record to 40-16 with the NBA top pick break coming Thursday
Like you're going down a dull rear way, here comes a gathering of folks with a play club and you say, 'goodness, hello, where's the ball game?' It's 12 o'clock during the evening, you recognize what's coming around the bend.
"Once more, for us, we must (pay) tender loving care, finishing off diversions and not getting hit over the head with a bat at 12 o'clock around evening time."
The Raptors survived a berserk complete to guarantee themselves of being first in the Eastern Meeting when the elite player break arrives.That don't make a difference," Raptors top pick starter DeMar DeRozan said. "We got significantly more b-ball to play. We got an amusement tomorrow we got the chance to stress over and after that appreciate a break. Comprehend after that it has returned to genuine business, and we must play the correct way and keep on getting better and not have more evenings like this."
After a splendid second from last quarter provided them with a 17-point lead going into the fourth, the Raptors were outscored 31-17 in the last 12 minutes.
"It was repulsive," DeRozan said. "It was an awful win. We can't finish off amusements like that."
With Toronto apparently in summon, the Warmth drew inside three on a Goran Dragic floater in the path with 56.9 seconds left. DeRozan split a couple of free tosses for a four-point lead with 41.1 seconds left, the Raptors got a stop and Kyle Lowry made one of two from the line.
A disagreeable too far out call against the Raptors set up a Wayne Ellington three that made it a two-point diversion with 6.6 seconds left.
A C.J. Miles free toss fixed the win, yet just when Miami's Josh Richardson's last-discard shot from mid-court went amiss.
"I thought we just got on our foot rear areas a tad and they were forceful in the meantime, and that is never a decent mix," Toronto's Fred VanVleet said. "We'll take the win, clearly, yet we have to continue developing and improving."
DeRozan had 19 of his 27 focuses in the quarter as the Raptors extended a two-point halftime prompt 17 heading into the fourth.
There was an extend where they were beating us experiencing significant change, beating us off the spill and beating us from three," Miami mentor Erik Spoelstra said. "That trifecta is difficult to overcome.
Lowry had four of Toronto's three-pointers as a component of a 22-point night as the Raptors won for the 24th time in 28 home excursions.
Dragic had 17 of his 28 focuses in the second from last quarter, and James Johnson completed with 16 for Miami.
Without precedent for six diversions, Casey needed to approach his starters to complete, utilizing Lowry, DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas down the extend. That they nearly surrendered the lead ticked him off much more; he wasn't purchasing late-diversion rust as a clarification, not to mention a reason.
"We're experts," he said. "We've seen diversions like this previously. We realize what to do in those recreations. It's a matter of state of mind and ensuring we execute. Not simply in all out attack mode end. We had some extremely poor exhibitions on edge end, as well, with our switches."
