Game #74: Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks - Mar. 30/16 7:30 PM EST on TSN

[consmap]

Starting Lineups:

Raptors

PG - Kyle Lowry
SG - DeMar DeRozan
SF - Norman Powell
PF - Luis Scola
C - Jonas Valanciunas

Atlanta Hawks

PG - Jeff Teague
SG - Kyle Korver
SF - Kent Bazemore
PF - Paul Millsap
C - Al Horford

Key Matchup:






The Toronto Raptors come off a disheartening showing against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant came through the Air Canada Center like a storm, with Westbrook dropping a triple double and Kevin Durant scoring 34 points. The Raptors have one day to recuperate and hopefully get their defense back on track for the Atlanta Hawks. They'll need it, the playoffs are a few weeks away and the ability to keep their opponent's point total low will be important if Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan's production are limited in the post season. The word of the day, or for the rest of the season, DEFENSE!


LET'S GO RAPTORS

Paging Dr. Carroll...

Lowry didn't want to make excuses but admitted elbow issue has been a burden, hopeful draining it, treatment and off day tomorrow helps

Sources say that Bruno has been in the woods for days now, hunting hawks in preparation for this game.

The Carroll Lowdown is different and more difficult to fully parse out. Appears something went wrong though and return ways off.

It's officially time to sacrifice a member of the Raptor Republic forums. Who here likes Dwane Casey? I'm asking on a totally unrelated topic, I swear.

I have this weird as shit feeling that Masai will let DeRozen walk, or sign and trade him to LAL

i like dwayne casey. what's that thing you need?

we really need this game. if lowrys elbow is sore i would rest him and let joseph start, problem with it is spacing gets really fucked. and i wdoubt casey would switch 2pat in place of scola along with joseph to even it out.

I just need you to approach this altar and put your head on it. Ignore the guy with the hood and the scimitar.

Let DD walk/sign and trade & trade Lowry for Russell & Randle/their pick. Make a good selection(Hields/ Chriss/ Murray/ Bender) with the NY pick and done deal. Retool this bitch on the fly.

Will be interesting to hopefully find out more when Caroll returns, whenever that is. The secrecy on him has been annoying.

Uh huh, cause LA is gonna give up their 2 best prospects or 1 and a top 3 pick for a 30 year old expiring Kyle Lowry. Seems legit.
