GT: CELTICS (10-10) @ RAPTORS (9-11) 6PM Sportsnet

What's with the prevalence of calf injuries in sports these days? Wonder if there is some behind the scenes agreement with union on injuries.

Silver lining. Having Svi start will be an opportunity to further assess how he goes with starters in game situation. I know it’s unrealistic but I continue to think GTJ is the spark we need off the bench.

Although the sample size isn’t that large, Gary seems to play well only when he starts and isn’t nearly as effective coming off the bench. Much like Norm

You could be right. Although it also could be like when a spouse (usually a man) doesn’t do the laundry or dishes very well, on purpose, and the other spouse goes ‘I’ll just do them’. Lol. Like who can’t actually do the dishes well?? People generally just don’t enjoy doing them, just like people generally don’t enjoy coming off the bench.

What I mean here, is maybe GTJ enjoys the narrative that he doesn’t play well off the bench.

It's unprofessional that the Raptors feel the need to be so deceitful when reporting injuries and their severity. If it was the playoffs go ahead and do your thing, but I dont see other organizations being this way in the regular season.

Apparently you haven't been following the confusion over the injury status of Zion with the Pelicans. The Raptors definitely aren't the only organization that is less than forthright about players' injury status.

They withheld because it happened during the off-season. Once training camp and the exhibition season started they released the info. Besides mimicking anything the Pelicans organization is doing isn't exactly a positive.

It's unfortunate that people willingly want to be left in the dark on an entertainment product. Transparency around everything is a good thing.

we're probably going to lose a lot, and if that is the case then let's see if Scottie can run the point.

No one seems to know anyone about the status of TJ Warren on the Pacers either. I know your schtick is that you're hyper critical of anything and everything the Raptors do, but it's just not accurate to say that other organizations also aren't forthcoming about injury info.

I don't wish injury on GTJ.. just don't want him to play .. he's trash and shouldn't be starting.. should be a 6th man scorer off the bench.

Next November there will still be a championship celebrated in this city. But I'm upset Semien left us smh

[TRik]

Hopefully Bonga gets minutes now at least. Want to see what he can do

Champagnie probably gets a few minutes too

Yup. He’s been a gleague monster….deserves some run.

Is he mobile enough to defend the perimeter? Havent seen him more than a few minutes.

He kind of plays point forward. Pretty mobile and athletic in the 905 games. Deserves a run to see if he can keep up with NBA perimeter action. I actually think Perry deserves some run this season as well. Perry isn’t as intriguing, but he’s putting in hard work in the 905 and we need to have little rewards for stuff like that.
