raptors might have the ugliest starting 5 we've seen this year... but they can play and shoot. gotta build an early lead and let the Zoo Crew cruise for the win tonight.

Raptors roster is more talented than their record. We should eat them up inside though, if we can feed it to Marc and Zach. Hopefully, Arthur continues to improve as an option off the bench. We need to sweep this home stretch with the Raptors and Detroit coming up.

The Grizz keep rolling - 11-2, wow.

Taking care of business at home is looking good for the Grizz. Great job all around. Next up Detroit.

Pulled through in the second half. Big time win here.

We need to keep pushing in this weak part of our schedule. We are away at the Spurs pretty soon.

Is it true that someone was selling a block of tickets to Pistons for forty cents the other night?

Must be hard times up there. The Pistons tend to struggle against us even with Greg Monroe and he hasn't been beasting of late. I think we'll find them even easier than Toronto and Cleveland. That would be nice so we have a good shot at the Spurs Saturday. That's going to be a heat check.

Sounds like they're resting up for us as well.

That is so weak if true; however, I tend to take Pop's "decision" more as a thinly veiled protest about the scheduling his team has had to play through so far this season.

Pop knows that his veterans aren't getting any younger. He feels that in order to keep them fresh and ready, he would get the guys a game or two off to keep them from overexerting themselves from game to game. In this case, they drew the Heat. Stern would choose this time to be upset and now wishes to sanction the Spurs for their actions.

Meh, if that were true, they could have sat on the bench in warmups - also Danny Green is 25 years old.
