Game 17: Toronto Raptors at Chicago Bulls - Saturday November 17th 8pm ET, TSN

[Hotshot]

Assuming Kawhi and OG both don't play, we can insert Loyd and Boucher off the bench and keep the rotation at 10. If we want to play Malachi and Brown too we could rest Lowry and Serge.

Not sure how serious you are....maybe a bit serious at the first part but inserting Malachi & Brown instead of Lowry & Serge is already suicide.

I think it makes the game a toss up. Chicago is bad, especially if LaVine is out.

I'd prefer not to play Malachi and Brown. Brown especially. But I could see them valuing the rest after a long game yesterday for the vets.

I wanna see some rest games for Kyle.

[Demographic Shift]

Starters:

Kyle Lowry
Danny Green
[I have no idea. Kawhi is out and OG is questionable. We might start Delon and move Danny to the three]
Pascal Siakam
Serge Ibaka

vs

Ryan Arcidiacono
[Zach Lavine is out]
Justin Holiday
Jabari Parker
Wendell Carter Jr

Let's get back to winning basketball and I will get back to your normal picturesque game threads. I'm on my phone and a little disappointed that nobody stepped up here. I thought we had a deep bench!

Los Raptors prevail tonight !

Chicago is bad but I can see Holiday & Blackney going off in this game.

FVV getting a long ass leash. Haven't seen coach play favorites like this in a while

Rationale is they want to get Fred going. Nurse said they're going to play very small and very big at times. OG injury isn't believed to be serious. All tests came back good.

Casey’s return...Friday night espn game against Boston..both crushing losses...and now the Bulls. Yeah, one page plus two posts an hour before game time seems about right.

The rotation tonight is basically just PGs, Cs, and G Leaguers. Just how I drew it up.

Everyone excited yet? The NBA, where amazing happens..... but you'll probably see a tanking team play another team resting half its roster. It's fantastic!

The NHL goes to its backup goalie on back to backs and beefs up the trainer kits with extra Mercurochrome, #6 size surgical sutures, semi sterile circle needles and whiskey.

Jest aside... perhaps Leonard is simply following medical advice
