Cleveland Cavaliers (18-14) visit the Toronto Raptors (12-20).

The first game! RJ and IQ suit up tonight (presumably). New line-up, new rotation. Embarrassing loss behind us. Let's go!

I’m hella excited. Best case scenario for this season is that Siakam is traded for a nice big haul, we keep and get the 6th overall pick to go along with the obtained 31st pick, and that our new big 3 of Barnes, IQ, and Barrett gel nicely for the future. Keep the L’s coming!

He will. I’d be genuinely shocked if we throw guys who have maybe had one practice to learn our system into the starting lineup.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

I got tickets for tonight’s game. I go about once a year. Anybody confirm that RJ and Quickly are starting? Would be amazing luck on my part

What system? It's a situation where our existing guys will have to learn to play with talent.

I don't think IQ will start today. I see two possibilities:

1. Dennis/GTJ/Barnes/Pascal/Poetl
2. Dennis/Barnes/RJ/Pascal/Poetl

Even with the loss to Detroit last game out, we’re still undefeated this year

I think IQ starts for sure with Dennis becoming a bench staple (I refuse to predict more Darko insanity). I think the question is does RJ or Trent start alongside the other 4 starters?
