Given the game, I expect the Raps to come out and play with a sense of urgency. They haven't done it much this year - it's mostly been coasting with spurts of effort - but I would anticipate a GSW-game focus from them. We'll see. They've been off-balance without Lowry and they haven't found any kind of a replacement for JV's production. Hopefully, they'll start dialing it up now that the calendar has turned....

Danny will be ever the politician with smiles and hugs, and DeRozan will likewise hug all his friends. Watch Lowry sit on the bench finally lol
There was a recent interview with Antetokounmpo where was was asked about working out with other stars durijng the off season and he basically said "I don't want to be friends with the enemy in or off season, I just want to beat them"
The dude immediately went up 3 rungs on my personal respect ladder that day
-He's definitely coming here to play with Kawhi

I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

I doubt Lowry plays
Green on Lowry and Valanciunas and if he’s talked to them: “They are my teammates. I see them. They are alive and well.” Says he hopes they have their popcorn ready for tomorrow (to watch, not play, expects both to travel).

In my mind... keep thinking #Spurs #Raptors comes down to a 1 possession game, DeMar with the ball, Kawhi defending him... so@I asked DeMar about it: “Great movie.” pic.twitter.com/NuEV3H0E9A

Also looks like Rudy is doubtful on their end. So matchups will look like:
White vs VanVleet
Forbes vs Green
DeMar vs Kawhi
Aldridge vs Pascal
Poeltl/Bertans vs Ibaka
Obviously the two key matchups are the ones with DeMar and LMA. Kawhi should smother DD but Aldridge will be tricky. Also Derrick White will have something of a size mismatch on FVV.

I watched a few Spurs games early in the season and Poeltl was getting glued to the bench. Sounds like Pop has more trust in him now.
