Better be a win. Seriously. I've been heavily in favor of using gasol off the bench, but this is one game where gasol should definitely start to lock down Aldridge as well as put him i foul trouble on that end. They should attack him and demar every time down the court.

Oh damn, what a game to come back too. If Ibaka starts against Aldridge over Gasol lol...
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'

I could probably see them do:
  • It's just the 4th game. Relax
  • He's still learning the system. Relax
  • Don't want to hurt Ibaka's fragile feelings
  • Ibaka's doing well with the starters. Why change it?
  • He got a better +/- last game

Don't forget these:

- Gasol fits better coming off the bench, tbh.

- LMA is just too good for us to handle, tbh.

- We need to start Gasol or Ibaka depending on the opposing centre, tbh.

If you look closely, it's Nurse for benching him.

To everyone saying Ibaka should start or that we should do the platooning thing based on matchups...

Dafuq are you guys smoking???

KL+DG+KL+PS+SI has been a terrible starting line up all season long. Absolutely no chemistry with that unit. Ibaka doesn't provide any better defensive match-ups compared to Gasol. Even against the quicker 5's, Gasol is always in the right spots and is superior in positioning. He may not run up the floor quickly but who cares if Pascal is beating everyone up the floor anyways.

- Gasol guards all bigs
- Gasol passes better than anyone on the team
- Gasol makes the right decisions
- Gasol stretches the floor and shoots the 3 well
- Gasol blocks shots
- Gasol gets steals
- Gasol rebounds ok
- Gasol TALKS on defense

Start Gasol!! End of story

A Spurs fan came at me on twitter over a harmless DeRozan joke now it's a Canada vs. Mexico/USA flame war :)

I just hope our guys remember the embarrassment and shame of getting absolutely destroyed by these Spurs last game. That 1st quarter our team was so shook that it legit reminded me of the Cavs sweep in the playoffs last year. We were literally frozen in fear that entire game and let the Spurs run right over us.

You can’t compare DeRozan’s return in San Antonio vs in Toronto. Whether you’re a Demar supporter or not, this is THE game every Raptor fan will be watching; live or on tv.

Won't mean much when we ride out LaMarcus Aldridge's son (Ibaka) for 30+ mins a game.

Return to Toronto Raptors
