Ross is DUE for a big scoring night. I predict 24 pts and 3 three pointers made in game 5. Of the starters on both teams...outside of KG ( the G stands for Geriatric)...his minutes are the lowest and his fresh legs will take over.

Apparently this game MAY be in the afternoon Wednesday IF the Heat lose tonight.

THAT WOULD SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol - where did you hear that? That's complete bogus. I've never seen a matinee game during the week unless it's like Martin Luther King day.

he just needs to hit a couple damn shots to help take some heat off DeMar and Kyle. So disappointing so far.

Agreed. Ross is a great slasher and its hard to see him settle for 3 pters and mid range pull up jumpers. The floor opens up when he is starts driving the ball for the layup/dunk or even earn a trip to the free throw line. A few high percentage shots and the rest of his game will come.

If TRoss is going to score 24 points, he'll likely make more than three 3 pointers, probably more like 5-6, which he is completely capable of doing.

The thing is, DeMar usually gets 1-2 assists a game finding Ross in the corner for threes. When Ross is invisible and can't hit the ocean with a boulder, DeMar's assist numbers drop and he's forced to "chuck" more. Ross just needs to get back to the 3D game that wins in the playoffs.

I don't imagine that it would be the NBA's and MSM's dream of the ultimate EC Final match up, but I would look forward to seeing the Raptors and Wizards play it out for the EC Championship. Two comparatively young teams with a dynamic back court and athletic big men.

This x 1000. Stagnant ball movement and/or defensive laps and it won't matter how live the crowd is.

We gotta pound that rock.

Would definitely like to see the Raptors start Fields this game and bring Ross off the bench to see if that'll get him going.

They are giving away "Swiffer" shirts and dusters at the game. It better be red.

I love knowing that this starting 5 will more than likely be together for the next 3 years (if Lowry stays). Seeing as though Ross and JV are gonna continue to improve in their 3rd and 4th seasons, I can't help but get excited about the team's future.

Raps in 6 w/ a bright future....

ANyone know what color shirts we wearing?? IS it gonna be sea of white again??

It will be a much better option to go with "white out" against miami since miami has red jerseys

If he played great D on D. Williams like he did for those 2-3 possessions, I'm happy. It gives one less guy that can get red hot quick, we can concentrate on JJ and PP

Wouldn't mind him hit a couple 3's but the ones that should get more offense is Val and Amir. Game 4 really proves how weak the Brooklyn front court is at defending the high post pick and roll
