Toronto, 24-11, third in the Eastern Conference (by .10 points)

Toronto has lost four straight for the first time since December 2013, just before "The Trade"

Casey said, “We’ve got to find seven or eight guys who are interested in competing at a high level.”



Boston, 11-22, eleventh in the Eastern Conference

Recent losses: Rajon Rondo to Dallas Mavericks, Brandan Wright to Phoenix Suns, Jeff Green in transit to Memphis Grizzlies

''It was very different,'' Stevens said. ''It changes your pregame speech a little bit. It's a jolt to your system.''

Starting lineups:

Toronto: Kyle Lowry and company

Boston: Tyler Zeller, Jared Sullinger, Jae Crowder, Evan Turner, Avery Bradley

Just fucking win!

When's the last time we won a game?

[iblastoff]

sullinger has been up and down this season. but if hes playing tonight, then he'll probably get some crazy career stat and we lose.

Interested to see if someone's been booted from the starting lineup...
Issues aside, it's still the Raptors. Let's go guys!!!

I fully expect Sullinger, Bradley, and Olynyk to torch them tonight.

need to box that mfer out. Not for stretches, every fucking time.

I find that teams that got rid of talent usually do well in their first game. So I would not be taking this team lightly despite the fact that they got rid of two solid players in Green and Wright.

Lou and GV have been pretty bad lately. Lowry is tired. Ross has been below average. If the guards struggle, then the offense will struggle, and that could lead to bad defense. Boston's back court is pretty good defensively as well.

The one thing Boston can't do is score in the clutch. They are actually pretty bad down the stretch. So if the game is close, I can see the Raptors pulling off a victory.

Crap! so the Raptors game and the Seahawks game starts at the same time???

If Landry starts I will go find the scattered remains of the chromebook I threw into traffic when he came out to start the 3rd v. the Hornets, climb back up to the balcony and launch that trash right back into traffic.

It's honestly ridiculous he's starting over JJ, who's been playing great.
