  • Game #30 Raptors @ Timberwolves, Feb. 19, 9:00 PM ET

    ​

    The Toronto Raptors are coming off two straight impressive wins in Milwaukee against the Bucks. Even with Kyle Lowry sitting out with an injured thumb, if feels like the Raptors are a team that has finally discovered its identity — and not a moment too soon, as we’re fast approaching the halfway mark of the season.

    Wolves' rookie Anthony Edwards is someone to keep an eye on. The No.1 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft is starting to figure it out and display some of the promise many thought he had prior to the draft. Over the last seven games, Edwards is averaging 18.3 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists.

      Despite the small ball era we're in now, off the top of my head it's only us and BK who aren't starting a traditional big anymore.

        Despite how useful the three ball is, in most cases its still a compliment to interior scoring, not the substitute. It pays to control the paint, easiest way to do that is with a 7 footer. Not to say small ball doesnt work, just that it has a much higher degree of difficulty to play well and not bleed points. Its especially hard to sustain over a regular season.

                  Lately they've been starting Jeff Green at the 5 and bringing Jordan off the bench I believe

                          100% McKaw plays and if nurse likes what he sees, he gets real minutes, he's Nick's favorite!

                          But we have og back, we should be ok either way.
