Figured I’d start the thread.
Three times the charm?

Jeez I'm bored of playing the Raptors. It would be surprising if we won but I would like to see more good games from JI and Fultz. Also Gordon is questionable for tonight so he could play

He's listed as doubtful and likely won't play. MCW is out too. I know people fear AG's hero ball without Vuc, but damn do I miss him. Aminu is truthfully awful and Iwundu shouldn't be playing minutes in the NBA. Those two even make me miss MCW which is something I never thought id say.

Hopefully Fournier can resist his urge to double team tonight. The Raptors are very good at driving the ball and kicking out to an open 3pt shooter. VanVleet uses his off hand well to push off and is a good finisher, but I don't think we should double team him.

Yea Aminu is as bad on offense as MCW, but MCW's defense is so good, he still makes a positive impact every 2nd or 3rd game.

In the running for goat game thread IMO. This just got upgraded to a can't lose game.

Maybe Gasol not having to defend with Vooch being out will lull him to sleep on Bamba.

Vuc has resembled Mark Acres against Gasol, that's pretty boring.

Yeah maybe we have a shot at this now that we don't have to automatically factor in the 15 missed field goals from Vuc when Gasol guards him.
But really I'm kinda excited to just see the court. I'm tired of the Raps.

The only thing I hope for is an injury free game for both teams.

Hopefully Gordon can be somewhat productive and maybe let Evan know he doesnt have to try and carry us on every possession and get the ball out of his hands a little...

Not sure how I feel about AG being back tonight, really don't wanna see him go 6-17 when we have Fultz and Isaac who are more natural scorers then him.

How are we feeling about the court and jerseys?

It looks like the court orange is lighter than the uniform orange, which is really weird. The darker orange on the jerseys is pretty nice. The jerseys were starting to win me over. I actually like the theme of playing off the color, but still feels like a missed opportunity; an actual orange being incorporated somewhere would have been a nice touch. Even something as subtle as what the Hawks did by having a peach on the baseline. Instead of just coloring our secondary logo orange, maybe replace it with an actual orange. These uniforms probably pop more if orange was the base color with a black font. Overall, it's not the worst of the City jerseys, but far from the best.
