Raptors have won 8 of their last 10

How are they doing it? I don't know

Barrett is shooting 42% from the free throw line over the last 14 games

Props for not being scared to make the GT vs the scary, big, bad Rockets.

Hope we get an epic win streak going

Their defense has been much improved. Ball movement is very good working through Poeltl at the high post. Rather than the usual long wing, Davion Mitchell probably guards JB, very tough on ball defender. Scottie Barnes has been playing well. And we won't have OG to dominate them as usual.

But Brown and Boucher have been a big part of their recent hot streak, if they don't play then younger mistake prone guys play more.

Maybe Boucher can come with the Knicks on the flight home?

The raptors have won 8 of 10 and some actual good teams in that stretch including Boston. And they hate the Knicks and will certainly be firing on all cylinders. Add that to the fact we had a war last night and OG likely still out and it’s a recipe for defeat. Let’s hope we can carry over the energy and get a win

Hopefully the Knicks can win games the rest of the year with no real backup SF and an offensively limited backup PF in Precious, because apparently they'll be incapable of getting anyone else.

Hope RJ gets better soon. Concussion is no joke.

Nevertheless, it’s one less problem we have to worry about. Especially with OG out.

We can lock up Barnes and blow them out easily.

Or let Barnes score and lock up everyone else.

not surprised RJ is out. I saw the play where he got injured. hit his head so hard on the floor you almost thought he broke something. hope he is alright.

I don't think he is coming back until after the all-star break at this point.

Canadians hate us. Raptors hate us. Back to back game. This one has all the makings of a disaster.
