Game 25 - Knicks @ Raptors, December 9, 7:30pm, TSN

[HangTime]

Deep Breaths everyone

[Thaddy]

Keep developing talent and until RJ improves his defense he might need time in the doghouse. He has to respond to that and just be better.

There were several instances where he didn't get back on MADE buckets.

How is the odds at Vegas?

[Zeno]

Only game in the league tonight, all eyes(that have nothing better to do) will be on this one. Don't **** the bed guys.

[TorontoBarneys]

I just hope this game is competitive. If we lose at least let it not be a blowout.

Can't wait to see OG again. Haven't kept up with the Knicks at all this season.

[MiamiSPX]

The Knicks sure are going about having a championship season in a weird way. They should beat us though. Let's hope we can keep it close enough so that Thibs plays his starters 47 minutes.

[InfraRedshaw]

I suspect the Scottie - OG vibes will be much different than the Scottie - Pascal vibes, fwiw

[Duffman100]

They gonna put OG on Scottie or RJ?

[Shakril]

They gonna put OG on Scottie or RJ?

RJ, cause he is only an offensive threat. By putting OG on RJ you essetnially can neutralize one player on the court. Barnes is still effective on the defense and his offense is more diverse, so the effect would be less.

[DelAbbot]

OG will shut RJ down

[Raptorfan2012]

Is Towns playing tonight? If not, we will probably win.

[Stromile12]

RJ gonna empty the clip

[Kingsway_fan]

Is Towns playing tonight? If not, we will probably win.

Agreed. Huge difference if he is out.

He will never improve his defense. He is in his 6th season and this summer Darko challenged him to be a better defender and nothing. Once we get fully healthy, RJ is one of the players that should not close every game. To me the only guy on this current roster that is good enough we can't afford to not have on the court during winning time is Scottie. Every other player on this roster has serious pros and serious cons to their games. Yak is the guy who is next up on the list of must play and Mogbo is guy that 3rd on my list with bullet. I'm talking about 2 way guys you can't afford to sit if they are struggling to make shoots.

[HumbleRen]

All eyes will be on this game. Don’t embarrass us boys.

[Tor_Raps]

OG will be on Barnes while Bridges/Hart guard RJ.

[mrdressup]

They gonna put OG on Scottie or RJ?

RJ, probably because Barnes doesn't drive that much. For everyone's benefit I feel the offense needs to go through Dick. It's the only real offense we have that moves defenses or causes them to scramble. Emphasis should be on creating great three point looks for people not named Mitchell, Boucher or Shead. We need to be able to rely on that more when the pain is being packed. RJ should totally refocus and drive with the intention of passing, becuse all the NBA is playing him to go hard left all the way to the bucket. Scottie focusing on getting 20 assists works for me.

[Tor_Raps]

All this talk about RJ's defense when Dick is by far the worst defender in the starting lineup.

[mrdressup]

RJ gonna empty the clip

I hope it's not one of those games where we die solely in him trying that with a ton of live ball turn overs. I' still waiting for a game where we keep turnovers to below 10.

[Reeko]

Dick gonna go for 40 tonight.
