TORONTO Nathan Shepherd Hoodie , Jan. 18 (Xinhua) -- Toronto Raptors lost to New Orleans Pelicans 95-93 on Sunday afternoon in NBA action.
The loss was Toronto's seventh in their last nine games, dropping their record to 26-14 on the season.
"We're playing in mud right now," said Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey following the loss in Toronto. "Confidence wise, we have to come out believing that you're going to make a play offensively or defensively."
Toronto struggled in the first half, scoring a season-low 36 points against New Orleans after two quarters.
Down 50-36, Casey replaced third-year player Terrence Ross at the half and started the third quarter with guard Greivis Vasquez.
Vasquez energized Raptors and helped erase the deficit by outscoring New Orleans 35-12 in the quarter and entered the fourth with a 71-64 lead.
Raptors were unable to sustain their third quarter dominance in the final frame Sam Darnold Hoodie , allowing Pelicans to outscore them 31-22 to ultimately win the game.
When asked about the substitution at half time, Casey explained to media that he still has faith in Ross.
"It wasn't all (Terrence) Ross' fault. I think Greivis did a good job in his position and gave us a spark," said Casey. "We are not giving up on him. He's a young man, all young players are always going to be up and down, we just have to help him anyway we can."
In Toronto's first 31 games, Ross averaged 12.1 points on 43% shooting in 28.4 minutes. In the last nine games Trevon Wesco Hoodie , Ross' production has dipped to 7.6 points on 33% shooting in 23.9 minutes.
"Whatever it is, we got to get his mojo going because we are playing for something and it's an important time for us to come out of it," said Casey. "We got to fight through it. It's a grind, it's a long season."
Despite the slump, Casey's squad remains in third place in the Eastern Conference and are well-positioned to finish the season with a top-four seed.
Moving is stressful no matter how you look at it. You have so many details to attend to from change-of-address forms to utility hookups to the very basic question of whether to hire a professional moving company or tackle those boxes and that furniture yourself. For most long-distance relocations, moving companies are the only option that makes sense Chuma Edoga Hoodie , but if you’re just going across the city or a few towns over, sometimes it’s better to handle your own move. Not certain what’s best for you and your family? Here are some things to consider when deciding whether to bring a moving company in for your upcoming move (How to Hire a Local Moving Company).
Volume
It’s one thing to move an apartment’s worth of stuff; it’s an entirely other situation to relocate the contents of a two-story home from point A to point B. When you’re considering a do-it-yourself move, be honest about how many things you and your family really own, and how easy it will be to handle those items yourself. If you have large or heavy items (think pianos, pool tables, and fridges) or just a hefty number of boxes Jachai Polite Hoodie , you may be better off using the pros. They’ll have the tools and skills to efficiently and effectively move large volumes of belongings in a safe manner. That will save you strained muscles, dinged furniture, and possibly even a few friends!
Transportation
Do you own a pickup, box truck, or large SUV? Does your best friend? If you already have a truck available, transporting your household goods from your old address to your new one will be a lot easier. Ready transportation eliminates the additional cost of renting a truck and keeps the overall cost of your relocation as low as possible. However Quinnen Williams Hoodie , don’t let needing to acquire a truck be the deciding factor in whether or not to DIY your move: Check truck rental prices, and you’ll likely find that they’re much lower than hiring professional movers. So if you have ready and willing friends standing by to do the lifting, you may find you’re better off renting the truck and diving in headfirst.
Storage
Can all of your items go straight from your old house to the new one? Or will a scheduling issue on one end or the other require storing some, or all, of your items for a period of time? When you’re coordinating moving AND storing your household goods, a local moving company is often a wise investment. These teams typically offer packing Trenton Cannon Shirt , storage, and transportation services, and they can help manage the various aspects of what items are going where, how, and when. For sheer logistical coordination, when you factor in storage Chris Herndon Shirt , the price of local movers is well-worth the peace of mind.
Time vs. Cost
However, in the end, it all boils down to a time vs. cost analysis. In nearly every case, moving yourself takes longer and costs less than hiring local movers. Ultimately, you’ll need to decide whether a faster, more-efficient move is worth the price tag of a professional moving company or if you’re willing to spend a weekend or two schlepping your belongings to your new house to keep the cost down.
