This is a W.
Building a team around Trae is one of the odder decisions currently in progress.

OO is out and Capela is on a minutes restriction apparently. I really hope they win this just to keep the very unlikely chances of a play-in rematch with the Bulls alive but to suggest it is a W for sure is way overboard.

Really looking forward to this game
I’m not sure we appreciate how difficult a stretch it was for IQ and RJ from beginning of December through February. They were on the road for a ridiculously long time and both being traded for the first time. I hope the break gave them a chance to settle and focus.
I don’t think the Raptors are a good team by any stretch but I do think they are better than their record.
I don’t think it’s a stretch to say, given their record/number of games left/the hole they are in, this is a must win if they are going for the play in.
Personally I’d rather see an outright tank, but I just think they have too much talent for that to happen. A couple of injuries would change everything though.

At this rate, that RJ's left knee will need surgery..most likely, right after the Olympics.

I would not be surprised if RJ ends up playing, he just had so many days off ... but who knows maybe because of that he does need the rest.

If RJ sits out, I hope Carton gets an opportunity.
Quickley/(Barnes)/Carton
Trent/Brown
Dick/Agbaji
Barnes/Boucher
Poeltl/Olynyk
This is what our rotation should look like tonight.

I completely agree with you, give Gradey a start and Carton some minutes. I think for defensive purposes they probably start Bruce Brown in his place because they have difficult guards to check. They have to get Brown going with the starters where he makes more sense.
He shouldn't be a primary ball handler with the second unit as he isn't good enough and he more of a connective piece rather than a guy who organizes a team.

Maybe I missed something but where is Johntay Porter of late? I get we picked up Olynyk but he just doesn't play anymore?

He was battling an ankle issue but Yahoo seems to say he's healthy. Obviously KO is better, but I thought we'd see him last night in garbage time.
You might even be able to throw both of them out there at the same since they can' both stretch the floor.

Porter has been with the 905 recently and is probably with them today in the Bay Area along with Nowell and JFL. That is what is listed on the injury report anyway.

Love how aggressive Scottie was last night. Hope he brings the same energy tonight.

I wouldn’t mind that, not as a starter tho, but to replace Brown, definitely sure.
