Have to admit that in 12 pages of scintillating dialogue..Am happy to see no one saying if Devin Booker had played the Raps would have lost.

Another win the games you're supposed to win....even if they're not pretty. A couple days off to work on a few things

Ugly W, but fun fact, Ibaka is randomly shooting 58.7% (44/75) from the field and 58.1% (18/31) from deep in 6 December games so far

Interesting schedule tidbit: Raptors & Wizards are done playing in the Mountain & Pacific time zones. The Knicks won't play their first game in MT or PT until Jan. 19.

fuck West Coast

3 out of four games in six days....on another all western roadie....
Pretty damn good effort..

The road warriors have survived the tough part of the schedule.. Raps will now play close to 60% of their remaining games at home....

And of the remaining 56 games..they leave the eastern time zone just 6 times.....

I totally thought Kyle was going to miss those last two free throws for spite.

@GLF

I joked on twitter that the matchup of the night was JV’s great clutch time net rating versus Fred’s horrible one, and JV won out, if slightly.

In seriousness, we’re throwing away points. The all bench units need to die, at least until Wright is back (against good teams anyway) to try to salvage the offence. VanVleet closing games is super dumb, and desperately needs to stop. Norm is sucking, but I don’t mind giving him minutes to work his way out of it, though giving him a star to play beside would help him a lot.

Take the road win, go home. Take some solace that the starters blew them out as they were supposed to, just the bench was garbage, and that bench look should never exist in meaningful games.

Bench has only struggled the last 5 games or so. Which have all been against bad teams.
