Game #11: Toronto Raptors 114 - Portland Trail Blazers 106

[G__Deane]

And only one game out for OG! Yay!

Awesome news right there

[G__Deane]

Right now it’s audition time for a bunch of guys for getting into the rotation....
RHJ, Boucher, Davis, Moore are all looking to be part of the rotation when Kyle and Serge get back.

Its show me time and these guys all wanna play.

Dont see a lack lack of effort being an issue tonight..or any night.

If Stanley J doesn’t see the floor tonight or inDallas on Friday...he might never see it on this team.

It's not a matter of whether there'll be full effort. There will be with Nurse, or you'll find yourself parked on the pine.
But few NBA teams are pushovers when desperation and a reasonable level of talent intersect.

Short 3 starters against any NBA team, you better bring it.

Game Day, go Raps!

Happy for Miller, I hope he plays well.

The stock of Chris Boucher is rising sharply. His defence looks more than amazing, and his jump shot had taken us by surprise.
Will he continure ?

[DanH]

Miller starting is great news. Last guy on the border of the rotation who I thought deserved a real shot with the injuries. I think keeping RHJ coming off the bench makes sense, he's really our only PF depth with Boucher taking the backup C minutes, though he'll slide up to the 3 when Siakam is out there too.

And obviously its awesome that OG might only miss one game, besides the Clipper game he barely played in. Really need him with Lowry out - the offence will struggle regardless, but having OG to throw on the opposition's best scorer really helps save Pascal for offence, where we desperately need everything he can give right now.

Funny stat the the top five minute leaders so far this year are all raptors or blazers. Depth issues?

I’m a little worried that Siakam and FVV are going to fall apart before Lowry and Ibaka come back

[Jclaw]

I guess Gasol will get a lot of run but it would be fun to see Boucher against Whiteside

The Siakam/RHJ/Boucher lineup has the potential to be really fun and pretty good.

Hoping Miller plays well. Clippers were not a good matchup for him, he would have got steamrolled by Kawhi.

[The Great One]

Siakam needs to be a lot more aggressive. Wtf is he doing out there? this is like watching 4th quarter against the Clippers.

[Zak24gege]

Great start...Nick it's not the 2.7 sec. that cased Siakam and Gasol to fuck-up the D-Rebound.

[KeonClark]

I've never seen malcolm Miller do anything but miss shots. He must be good in practice or something

[RaptorsVictim]

There is no PG on the floor. Nothing is created.
