I’m just happy to finally see the Clips catch up to us in the loss column.

If my Raps can make it to the Finals, homecourt advantage could be crucial.

Need for the Spurs to cool off and catch up to us in the loss column next.

Looking forward to when our teams finally meet. Should be a good barometer of how we stack up to the champs.

The Toronto Raptors handed the New Orleans Pelicans a 110-97 shellacking for yet another home win at Scotiabank Arena, in a game in which they never trailed and led by as many as 21 points. The victory completes a season sweep of the Pelicans, notching the “W” in the 1st game of a home back-to-back.

With Amen Thompson and Collin Sexton out injured for an extended period of time, Rudy Gobert and newly acquired Bol Bol — whom started at small forward — were dominant with efficient scoring on the inside. Also supported by Victor Wembanyama, bringing his usual elite two-way play. Michael Porter Jr. and Lu Dort customarily came off the bench, as the Raptors frontcourt proved too deep and too talented for the Pelicans. Christian Wood provided the icing on the cake, scoring 9 points in 9 minutes in garbage time.

Toronto’s defense continues to put the clamps on the opps, holding their 6th straight opponent (and 8 out of their last 10) below the 100 point mark. They forced New Orleans into shooting 39.5% from the field and forced 17 turnovers.

The overrated LaMelo Ball was jailed and held to only 7 points by Jrue Holiday, who also concussed him. While Bol held Kelly Oubre to a Krispy Kreme donut.

Toronto’s record improves to 34-10, extending their Atlantic Division lead, while maintaining 2nd place in the Eastern Conference. Winners of 6 straight overall, 10 out of their last 11, and a league best undefeated 20-0 at home.

Ahead of the trade deadline;

Lonzo + picks available for an upgrade at any position, can give 26 Heat 1st or my 25 - 27 1sts depending on the player. My pick can still end up being Cooper Flagg so I would be looking for a difference maker

Isaac available as well PF with 87 DEF

MJ Burks and Hield also available, ideally would want backup big but open to different type of players as well cuz I feel I have enough gunners in here

KP has been a monster in the sim so I can still go all in this year surrounding him, or cash in and get someone younger who will fit the LaMelo - Green - Zion core. Zion - KP works well together so I wont be desperate to move him

Let me know if you see a deal that makes sense for both parties

[Manhattan Project]

Murray easily available, but people be playing.

Mikal Bridges on the block
