Game #29: Dallas Mavericks 107 - Toronto Raptors 110

[Ebonhawke]

And to add salt to Dallas fans woes - the Cowboys are losing to the Eagles as well today

Oh man, just imagine if we are up 30 with 2:30 to go in the 3rd quarters and then lost. Yikes.

RR would be yelling for Nurse to be fired

He and Freddy are going to be overworked for the next stretch.
When was the last time the Raps were killin' it in the 4th Q and rested the starters ? I think there was only one game but it was when the starters were playing like azz and the bench was killin' it

Fred is young and he’s trying to secure a big contract. And he was just off for a bunch of games. He needs to prove that he’s durable.

[golden]

I’m so happy that Nurse left Boucher, Rondae and Davis in the game all the way through, might’ve kept Miller in as well if he’d hit those open threes. Great way to show his confidence in those guys, cause they fucking deserved it

It’s more important than that. You can’t get into a rhythm when you’re playing 10-15 minutes a game or less. McCaw, on the other hand, is gifted 20+ mpg without earning it.

Would probably end up being the longest regular season game thread in RR history.

With 3 big rotation players hurt.. minutes are going to be bad all around. But the only guy that suffered today was Kyle. Every other starter played less than 30. Serge only played 24. So that's a good sign going into tomorrow. This game hopefully gives Nurse a bit more confidence in his bench. He should use them.

But the schedule sucks right now. We get 2 days off for the Christmas game after playing tomorrow. Than 3 days off before another 3 games in 4 nights. Hope Pascal is back for the second game against Boston. Could use him for that stretch.

Mavs fans are fuming at Carlisle.

I know it was a necessity but 42 mins for Lowry on the first game of a back to back is not ideal.

Get the win and worry about that tomorrow. Maybe someone else will step up.

[Zak24gege]

Record is now 2 - 0 since the Great Injury Disaster in Detroit. A 0.500 record over the month while Pascal and Marc recover would be great. Hope the guys have some energy left for tomorrow.

Well that’s it, exactly. Stop taking that victory lap and get effing hungry again. Especially, Mr. How Hungry are You?

There’s a reason why Boucher/TD/RHJ brought the energy. They’re fighting for their careers.

Hopefully this win injects some life into our other starters for tomorrow's game. Serge, OG and Fred played like crap all game. McCaw was okay but just the usual meh.
