Meh, I'm good with this. Thanks for having my back EArl, this has been a stretch for me... good thread btw.

The guy to watch out for:

It's all Derozan right now. He will win it or lose it, no one else. Gay is second fiddle. Lowry can bull, Jonas can bang. Ross is a secret.

The guy who can win it:

I mean seriously, Kobe is going to be rusty, if not phenomenal. He's got extra confidence when he plays Toronto, which is probably why he targeted this game to come back, but Kobe isn't going to win it or lose it, it's the guy on the floor who's been playing all season (thanks again EArl).

I expect Pau and Kobe to try and regain their chemistry, but that's not an overnight thing. Blake is the guy who can make sure they get their chances, without forgetting about everyone else. And he can hit a big shot too. Who knew PG was going to be a strength until Farmar went down.

Spoiler:

Coach tonight:

Dwayne Casey has a lot to learn. Too much. Dan Tony knows what he's doing. You may agree or disagree, but he has game.

The heros:

Obviously. Let's see who shoots worse.

Scottie Pippen of the game:

That's Derozan, incidentally. Hometown boys plays outta control I bet. He'll duel it out with Kobe too, guaranteed this game.

EArl got the big stuff.

These teams both have a lot of flux going on. Obviously with Kobe coming back, Farmar being hurt, and the general state with this "I'm going to choose none of you until Kobe comes back" MD style, it's safe to say team identity will be at an all time low.

Conversely, the Raptors are riding the hand they have, all of whom have at least some time together, with relatively few changes from last year. That hand has been a dud; they are their own worst enemy. It's the flip side of the coin, they know something will change.

Yeah I'll bet it would have been a stellar thread. But seriously, I called this thread, don't kid yourself.

Tell Gasol not to mess with Jonas

Oh, and this:

Man Cancels Wedding To Watch Kobe’s Return

A San Diego couple were set to exchange wedding vows this Sunday after months of preparation until it was abruptly canceled, and they have Kobe Bryant to blame.

According to reports, 28 year old Simon Bradley, a self-described ‘obsessed’ Laker fan decided to post-pone his wedding so he can attend Kobe Bryant’s highly anticipated return to the court from a torn Achilles this Sunday at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The man promised his fiance’ Melissa they will set a future date, but we’re going to assume it will be after the season.
