What's going on with PPat? I know we won but he barely played (7 min!) and we probably just should give him all remaining carroll minutes (19) and our rotation should be so much better then.

I'm guessing Norm took his minutes. who were on the floor in the last 5? I don't think Ibaka was on the floor.

Our rotation should be as follows:

PG: Lowry, Wright

SG: DeRozan, Powell, Wright

SF: Tucker, Powell, DeRozan

PF: Ibaka, Patterson, Tucker

C: JV, Ibaka, maybe Poeltl if we have foul issues.

Kyle, Demar, Norm, Tucker, JV.

To keep this series going Casey has just a couple of simple things and it's to bench Carroll and Corey.

Powell stiffles Middleton and Tucker may not block Giannis' shot but we can live with him shooting. It's Giannis' ability to drive and pitch that makes our lives hell. Tucker gets his hands in the way of his dribbling and Middleton is his favorite target. You absolutely live with letting Snell and Delly beat you lol

I better not see Carroll or Cory in the 4th

I agree, but I think Casey is going to disappoint you.

My bad

[JamesNaismith]

Kyle, Demar, Norm, Tucker, JV.

Both Patterson and Ibaka can be interchangable and if you let Delon take Corey's minutes we would be MUCH better off. Carroll and Corey should never see the court unless its garbage time.

2-2.

And now, we're due(right?!) for a real Toronto Raptors HOME GAME. Kill the deer!

[rocwell]

yup! he didn't sulk. He stayed ready. He's a team guy!

"I never (take it) personally. I'm a worker." -- Valanciunas on @fan590. Monster effort off bench (5/5 FG - 12p & 5r). @raptors win 87-76

LOL:

Valanciunas is that dude who, when people start talking about firing him, brings doughnuts and delivers his first client in 6 months

Agreed Just focus on moving Snell and Delly off 3 point line and we can advance.

Fucking sportsnet playing hockey while we wait for the players availability.... know your fucking audience. Theres plenty of basketball playoffs to be talked about. Not even canadian teams ffs

[Ball]

Just start Tucker and Powell and we'd probably have a good chance at ending the series in 6.

Well, i'll be in Calgary this weekend with my girl so i'm going to miss the game and i'm not even going to check the boxscore. This team is a COMPLETE waste of time.

Prediction - another blowout loss. Bucks by 15+.

As usual, TRex is the most reliable contrarian indicator around.

Tell us what stocks you're buying so we can short them.

Many of us are not inconsistent in our assessment of Dwayne's head coaching ability.

Greek Freak, Middleton, Brogdon combined for 26 points. I'll take it!
