Well...I guess you don't have to keep them under 90 if you score over 130. Couldn't have asked for much more. Got the full Terry experience (including a not-blown 360 degree dunk) and still a relatively easy win. I'll be happy to keep this pace as long as the team lets me. So let's welcome our next opponent. No...no overused Crying Jordan memes here. In the blue corner, hailing all the way from...
...The "maybe next year" Charlotte Hornets.
Out of the playoffs as they are, the Hornets have always been a thorn in the Raptors side. Technically, that should be a "stinger" but whatever. They are trying to fight their way back in having won 4 of 5. As much angst as they have given us, they also helped the Utah Utes coming out party just before the all star game (which wasn't in charlotte)
Here's a look at my best guess of the starting lineup..
And, for your Toronto Raptors...
Joseph (PG)
Derozan (SG)
Tucker til i hear otherwise (SF)
Ibaka (PF)
Valanciunas (C)

(very practical...this will work even if the starter gets replaced by the backup)
