Go Raptors!

Keep a close eye on those scorekeepers.

I hope we get to see a lineup

Scottie, Ja'Kobe, Ingram, CMB, Bamba

Bamba can take every trailing, wide open 3 he gets, at the top of the arc with Scottie and/or CMB on the offensive glass, while also being the first one back.

I really think Bamba's game can be unlocked in a lineup like this, on both sides of the ball.

In the half-court he can just be a roamer.

That Hawks hat is kinda nice.

Hopefully Trae Young is playing tonight.

Raptors are favored by 4.5 points.

Hawks played the Knicks last night.

I expect Toronto to beat Atlanta for a third time this season.

Davion Mitchell and NAW are two affordable players I would love on this team, though maybe they’re no longer affordable

NAW is putting up 20 PPG. Unfortunately we have missed that boat.

I watched them play the Knicks last night. They look so good defensively without Trae Young.

He would certainly make it easier for us to win, heh.

JJ is going to tear us apart.

Trae ruled out for tonight unfortunately.

Good for Atlanta, bad for us, heh.

We'll see how it goes. Maybe our offense will have the spark to get it done.

Atlanta just beat wolves and Knicks in consecutive games, we just lost to the nuggets missing jokic and 3 other starters... yeah we're not winning this... hope the reverse jinx works

NAW was affordable but when you're capped out with no vision, you miss opportunities like that.

Raptors face a Hawks team travelling on the second night of a back to back without Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis.

Can't make this up.

No Trae, no KP, no excuses here.

Oh but there will be whenever the Hawks go on a run. Cant wait to see what Devlin comes up with. "Hawks got the benefit to play yesterday and are already loosened up." Lol
