REVENGE GAME!!!

Let's see if Vucevic can step up against Gasol this game

This is a nice early test for us and we should have some motivation going into this matchup as they ended our season last year. Hopefully we can get off to a fast start and get back to moving the basketball instead of having guys staying stationary while we are spamming the high pick&roll to death. The defending champs no longer have Kawhi and Danny Green and those are two huge losses especially Kawhi but this team still has that championship mettle and still have the personnel to get after it on the defensive end.

Toronto will definitely make us pay if we do not execute properly on both ends. I hope both Isaac and Gordon can break out of their offensive slumps and start producing. Need Vuc to assert himself better and not be afraid of going at Marc Gasol. Would love for Ross to bust out of his shooting slump. Finally I would like to see DJ more aggressive on offense and for Markelle to provide the spark he has given us the past two games. This would be a huge win for us early in the season if we can get it.

Also gonna be cool to see the Raptors going back to their 95' modeled court tonight.

I kind of feel like we know the answer to that at this point, but hopefully I'm wrong. We will need him if we want to come out of Toronto with a win tonight.

Will be tough to get a win. We need AG to play with a pulse.

I already like our chances in this game simply because dulcer didn't create the thread.

It does feel like this has to be an AG game if we want to win. He needs to show up tonight.

Just hope our forwards play better and Fultz keeps showing us a spark.

I laughed at this pic

We will see if it's true that Gasol really shut Vuc down or it was a combination of Kawhi helping that did it.

Also, this is in Canada.. let see some Birch over Bamba here. Oh and this is against Ross former team, so do we hope for a heads over tails?

It was the double and triple teams. Pictures still funny though.

Good luck, Orlando. You have a great team.

I have a hard time imagining a victory tonight. Getting ready for the fury the game thread will bring.

Orlando has +4.5 in this game. That is something like a 1/3rd chance to win outright.

This is an interesting game for both teams. For me, Orlando needs to find their shooting touch to win. I am not predicting that. But I do like the Under it what I project to be a sub-200 game.

..

Holy crap: Augustin and Fournier both have a higher PER than Vučević ?!?!?!?

Hopefully Vuc can bounce back after being outplayed the last two games.

Should be a great forwards matchup. If JI does well against Siakim and Ross finds his shot, we can definitely win.
