When the Toronto Raptors went out and got DeMarre Carroll last off season, it was for one reason; stopping the opponent’s best wing players. Fast forward 9 months and a knee surgery, Carroll doesn’t quite have the pep in his step to match against the elite Paul George in the first round of the playoffs. After the insertion of Carroll in the starting lineup of game 2, Carroll picked up two quick fouls and it looked like we were doomed to George lighting us up once again.
Fortunately, Norman Powell was able to step up and make things difficult for Paul George.
