Game 56: Raps @ Hawks

[G__Deane]

Automatic win night and Welcome Back JV night just went to hell lol
Not saying they won't win but Memphis TN to Atlanta GA is only a 6 hour drive or a 4 minute flight ....

[Zainab]

Raptors will start Lowry, VanVleet, Green, Siakam, Ibaka on

[007]

Are Boucher and Loyd available? Are we gonna have just 8 guys today?

Technicality here: Because trade isn’t official, Raptors roster tonight will include outgoing players, just as DNPs. Actually available:

Lowry, VanVleet, Loyd, Green, McCaw, Powell, Anunoby, Siakam, Ibaka

Answering my own question, it looks like Boucher's not available so we're just going to have 9 guys lol

[The Great One]

would to take home court with a banged up kawhi or no home court with a 100% kawhi?

So if Lowry and Green and Siakam etc..are not 100% they"re still going to play(those guys are not 100%). But if Kawhi barely gets hurt then he has to sit?

What happens if he gets hurt in the playoffs(but is still able to play)? would they sit him the next game too?

Yes it matters. If the Raptors reach the ECF, you want to have home court advantage against the Bucks.

Go Raps! JV is up to questionable from doubtful. Might be his return. Could also be short-staffed, depending on how trade deadline goes, and very few players seem 100% safe.

First post of the thread aged well...

Something tells me that ship has already sailed. We'll be lucky if Bucks lose 20 games, we've already lost 16 and the tiebreaker

lol who cares it's the Hawks doesn't even matter if we lose. I'd be okay with play the coaching staff and giving the players the night off. Phil handy and big cat would get some buckets. keep kawhi healthy for the playoffs

I love Kawhi but this whole thing is getting annoying. He barely gets hurt and he's out. He finished the game against the Sixers without a problem right?

Lowry on the other hand who has a bad back is still out there playing.

THe Raptor have like 9-10 bodies after the trade and now Kawhi is not even going to play. Smh.
