Official GT: Washington @ Toronto 730PM Friday SN1

[Boogie!]

Wizards fan here.

Toronto has always been a tough matchup.
Defensively: Casey has his detractors, but you have a good scheme and you play hard.
Offensively: I'm a little scared of Derozan; he has a whiff of that post-Team USA confidence.
The other guys don't scare me as much.

Spacing will be an issue for us, since Beal and Webster are still out. Usually, we have two 3pt shooters on the court at all times, but with our guards hurt and Rice struggling, we're not as potent. Consequently, it'll come down to coaching -- and neither team has an Auerbach standing on the sideline. Kyle and DeMar should outscore Wall and Temple, which means we need our bigs to step up and win this one. Should be a good game; see you all tomorrow night!

you should be scared of lowry, patterson, vasquez, lou, ross, valanciunas and amir… any one of them can step up and probably will… not trying to be a dick, just pointing out that your idea of the strengths and weaknesses of this team is a little skewed...

Pierce is suckin ass so far this season. Dude is washed up.

Yea, he's nowhere as good as...err...wait, who's your starting small forward again? Fields?

Fields is not even our 3rd string SF

[CoachJReturns]

Wouldn't mind seeing Johnson get more minutes than Ross this game. Pierce could just use his strength against Ross all night without much trouble.

Not sure how the game will go but I feel that a lot depends on injuries for the Raptors. If the Raptors still have Amir and Jonas out, you'll probably out rebound us by 20+ like every other team has been doing, so that will give you a significant advantage.
Also, you might fear Demar, but Lowry is by far the best player on the Raptors and is the MVP of the team, so don't underrate him

LOL. Please do some research before insulting us on our own board.

Some people might hate on the Wiz calling them overrated but they're a tough team.

It's too bad Beal is out and that JV and Amir aren't ready to go, I'd really like to see how we match up this year with both teams developing. I do think we're pretty evenly matched and that most people on here are upset about the Wiz and call them overrated merely because the media gives WAS as a tough team to look out for but not us, despite we're pretty much right there with them. I understand that a lot of that has to do with the hype of Wall and Beal and that it is unfair but it is what it is.

Wall/Beal/Pierce/Nene/Gortat is a tough line up so I give credit where it's due but I love this showdown to see how we stack up and really a lot of our ability to possibly surpass them rests with JV, Ross (who is looking like the Anthony Randolph of SGs) and now Bruno's development. IF those 3 did develop anywhere near where we liked, then I'd say we're definitely the better team...until then game on

[bananaman]

I look forward to Gortat dropping 30 on us.
