Hmm don't have a great feeling about this game. We barely beat them with no Lowry last time, but is he still out? If so then I guess our chances are good. That lineup on the dulcet post looks horrid, guess they are back to tanking.

Only focus to watch out for is Watanabe who looked fantastic last game.

Marcus Morris had a phenomenal 8-11 game going 4-5 from 3pt last time we played them, so we'll see if he's forced to carry the team again tonight.

But no Siakam and Lowry? Should be cake and a good time to continue loading up for the playoffs.

Since we played them last the Raptors have committed to the tank. I think we get a comfortable win tonight.

I think the entire Raps starting lineup is not playing today. Should be able to pull off a comfortable win.

Never say never with this team.

For some reason anecdotally, it appears anytime we get days off the team comes out looking sluggish and lethargic.

I've tempered my expectations... I'm fully prepared for a poor first half. But I predict a strong finish.

I'm just hoping for some Tmann minutes. But sounds like he's out of the rotation with Bev back..

A strong finish after last game's debacle from certain players would be wonderful. But I'm ready for the playoffs to start and see if this team can put up or shut up.

I fully expect this team to play down to the competition, but we'll see.

Looks like our playoff starting 5: Bev, PG, Kawhi, Sr, Zu

I doubt we are gonna have a 10 man rotation in the playoff.

Rondo
Batum
Reggie
Ibaka

Unfortunately I don't expect to see T-Mann or Boogie in the rotation unless there's an injury.

King Marcus Morris!!! The 2nd best valued Clipper on the team with 7 of the first 12 pts for the Clippers, 3-3 with a steal!

Yep this should be an easy win. Hopefully the starters get the night off by the mid 4th..

Like that the team is playing hard enough that they still respect the Raptors potential to comeback in this game

End of first quarter: Kawhi: 3-4, 9 pts
Morris: 3-4, 7 pts
Zu: 2-5, 4 pts
PG: 1-5, 0-3 from 3, 4 pts
Bev: 0-2, 0 pts (5 minutes)

Hmm..

At least the defense is on point. Happy with the start, and given the near double digit lead the plan is effective.
