  • Next 7 games will be tough

    Raptors are in for some tough matches coming up with 6 games on the road, 1 at home and 2 back to back.

    11-15 road game vs Cavaliers

    11-16 at home vs Warriors

    11-18 road game vs Nuggets

    11-20 road game vs Kings

    11-21 road game vs Clippers

    11-23 road game vs Rockets

    11-25 road game vs Bucks.

    They will be tired by the end of it but if they manage a 4-3 record out of it, I would be comfortable with it. Thoughts?!

    They have to win the games that they should win, like the Nuggets, Kings and Bucks game. They could get a win against the Cavs and Rockets, but Warriors and Clippers will be tough to beat on the second night of back to backs.

      yeah, gotta win against the kings, nugs and bucks. And I'm hoping for 2 wins against CLE, warriors, clips and rockets. Ideally 5-2 for me. I wanna see some wins against the leagues best, and cavs, clips and GSW are basically it right now.

        Idealy the Raptors should win against Nuggets and Kings but recent history suggest they do not do so well there. Under normal circumstances the Bucks should be beaten but this will be the 5th road game in a row and they could be very tired and sluggish as a result so anything could happen really.

          I would be happy with a 4-3 record, you can't hope for too much more when you have a back to back against the two best teams in the league and then a 5 game road trip

            Cavs/Warriors back to back is completely not fair.

              Yup big losses are coming, although usually we play some good basketball against quality teams.

              Both Warriors and Cavs will be on 2 days rest

                We're already making excuses? Come on. Every team goes through this at some point.

                  Maybe it isn't, but it's an early playoffs test against those two teams who are favorites to meet again in the finals. In order to be the best you got to beat the best.

                  I did not like so much in the last few games how the Raptors played some lackluster defence after a big lead which resulted in losing the lead and almost losing the games. Against the Cavs and the Warriors you simply cannot do that and expect to win. This should be a wake up call.

                    Don't think anyone has ever played the both finals teams on a back to back...

                      Ok.

                      Name me another team that plays the Cavs and the Warriors back to back?

                        Cavs game is the one the Raptors need to get. I don't see them beating the Warriors.

                          Actually I see it, the other way. The Cavs are playing better then ever and it will be very difficult to win in their court. The Warriors on the other hand are still figuring out their offence and lost to the Lakers a week ago so maybe we can.

                            I don't know man. Rested Cavs team will beat the shit out of us.

                              Plus it's a home game against the Warriors and Durant is about to experience the wrath of Raptors fans in the ACC more then he has in his entire career playing there.
