we didnt have gasol for that game either, and the heat are a big team.

Yup team hasn’t been healthy all season. As long as they can get everyone back and get in a few reps before the season is over they’ll be fine. Also helps that if they secure the 2nd seed they get a favourable first round match up. 3/6 4/5 matchups will be gruelling series. All good teams.

Mccaw played more minutes than Siakam tonight. It really is mind boggling on how long the leash on Mccaw is but how short it is on Davis who only has 6 minutes tonight.

Raptors still picked up the W.



Playoffs are a different animal. Toronto’s defence will smother the smaller walker and inconsistent Tatum. Heat are an overachieving team and we didn’t have siakam for one of those games. Team is clearly the second best team in the east. Just needed get healthy.
while im not a mccaw fan at all, he was good defensively and did a good job tonight on conelly, davis and most of that bench have been really bad this trip(thomas played effectively tonight). also, burning out patrick maccaw and not siakam in the regular season is just fine by me lol.

I love this team.

One critism, we are 2-9 against the rest of the top 7 teams. This could mean a 2nd round loss if we can solve a few things.

0-2 MIA
0-1 DEN
1-2 BOS
0-2 LAC
1-0 LAK
0-2 MIL

A couple of those L's could have been W's if they were healthy, some very close games.

its a blessing really for a few guys, gasol looked cooked after the world championships...thats alot of basketball for a guy like him at his age. and ibaka has been known to look really tired too with heavy minutes throughout a full season. as long as we get healthy for the postseason i wouldnt bet against the raps getting to the finals again.

ye that first clips game with 3 of our starters out for example, we only lost because we couldnt make a shot in the 4th...like historically bad shooting. when this team loses its because they cant make any shots, especially from deep. but postseason is a different animal.

Heat are good but they are not as good as the start of the season indicated. They are falling back to reality lately. The Spolstera factor plays a role though. He is a great coach.

You want to be the guy that says “ Kyle, you are not playing”?

Figuratively, he would rip your head off.

If not for the damn injuries, they could control the minutes.

Yup, thats why im excited to see how this team will do this postseason. Theres no more Kawhi safety blanket and we'll see what the teams got.

ye but for once im not worried about lowry going awol in the post season, and last season FVV played like trash until like game 5 of the bucks series when he had his baby. just going through it all last year and a few players growth might nullify most of that. gonna be exciting. i flew back for for 24 hours for game 5 of the finals last year, i might have to plan the same thing again lol.

There is no way McCaw should be playing 43 minutes over guys like Davis and Thomas. Nurse better start reigning in the minutes on Ibaka/Lowry etc as well. Need them fresh for the playoffs.

The Jazz/Thunder game just got postponed and Gobert and Mudiay are both getting tested for Corona tonight.

We just played the Jazz a couple nights ago. The Raps need to get tested ASAP either one of them comes back positive. We don't play till Saturday, after all. But seriously, if any one player gets it, I don't see how the league as a whole doesn't shut down.
