Thanks for the game thread, ducler! We appreciate your hard work.

That being said, I'm sure the Raptors want to avenge their L against the Kings a couple of weeks ago. I expect them to come out and try to control play. I wonder how will the Kings respond? I look forward to the Kings' new (small) lineup today.

It will be interesting to see what Joerger does with the rotation. Could be a bumpy start because of the changes but in the end it's the only chance they've got to turn it around.

I'm willing to try Casspi at 4.
Pros: Good height (6'9-9.5 in shoes), rebounding.
Cons: Poor toughness underneath the basket. Strong enough to guard other 4s in the post? Strong, willing, and skilled enough to set good screens or picks and roll or pop?

I was afraid he was going to start Collison and Lawson. I didn't like the oversized 2 C lineup, and I don't like this undersized 2 PG lineup.

We are so undersized. Omg, Koufos is the first sub, so we go from undersized to oversized. Why do we have to make it so hard?

Creating our own problems it seems. I would really love to watch one game where Gay/Barnes/Casspi/Tolliver gets all the minutes at the 3/4.

Whoa, we have a potentially good lineup on the floor: Lawson-Afflalo-Gay-Tolliver-Koufos

I can't believe Ben is ahead of Temple. That's ridiculous.

Even though Willie's "defense" is getting exposed, I accept him as the 3rd string C he is being played as. Let's just hang on until we can put Koufos back in.

Garrett Temple is so good. I don't want to see Ben for another minute this year. Please wake up, Joerger.

This would be a huge win, let's go Kings. And to think that Cuz only have 16 points heading in the fourth, against one of the top teams in East and we are up by 5...

He is shooting like 40 % from the three!

Too strong, too good big Cuz and 1.

Wait, our brilliant play was to post Rudy up on Patterson?

Our brilliant play was to double team Derozan and make him turn the ball over, and on the fastbreak quick three pointer from Rudy haha
