The Raptors are coming off a home loss to the Spurs and have lost three straight on the second half of b2b. We'll face well-rested Memphis Grizzlies which had enough time to think about their most lopsided loss of the season vs Houston.
"We're back into playing a lazy man's defense, and we shortcut it and not do our jobs with urgency," Fizdale told reporters Monday. "You're not going to beat the best teams like that. You don't beat the average teams playing half games. Every now and then you can pull that off. But past the halfway mark (of the regular season) teams aren't giving up anything."
"Everybody's in panic mode right now," Toronto coach Dwane Casey said Monday. "It's not time to panic. We're going through a tough time. It's how you come out of it."
