So uh, funny story. I can't exactly do a proper timeline today since no Raptor in history has worn #27. I had the idea of making a Hawks timeline with all of their players who wore #9 in honor of loss 9 for them, but it turns out that no Hawk has worn that number either. :lol:

I'll make this work. Combine numbers for now, it doesn't seem I have any other choice.

WIN NUMBER...

This is the game T Ross SHOULD be able to help us, he needs to get back to his roots and lock down on PG's like Teague, hopefully his shot selection and makes improve as well.

The way we are playing, the way Casey is coaching, this is an automatic L.

If Jennings and MCW lit us up I can only imagine what teague is going to do... 36 7 7?

This is going to be a real ugly loss or a real joyous occasion.

I say screw the early spacing for this game, even though Ross leads the team with 75 makes.

Go with a Lowry/DeRozan/JJ/Amir/Jonas lineup.

we need JJ to be Glued to Korver early on. He can also switch onto Teague if we need him to.

Also, lets have DeMar(4/16), JJ(6/31), Amir(7/18), have at least one, in rhythm, 3-point attempt within the first 6 minutes of the game.

IF the Hawks decide to clog the paint, with the lack of shooters, at least the attempts will be wide open, even if DD and JJ's numbers aren't promising. If JJ or Amir take 3, form the top of the arc, at least they'll be the first ones back on defense.

Heck, I would even let Jonas take a 3, if they leave him WIDE open.

-----------------------------

We should, at the very least, steal their playbook.

I remember last year Lowry asked Casey to add more complex plays, but Casey didn't want to because we were such a young team. Do you think Casey is holding back?

I think this idea is too radical right now. Why don't we let see what demar does for Ross and JV in the starting line-up. If we keep this downward slide, then we can change the starting line-up.

If Raps play defense like they've been the last few weeks we're getting massacred.

Most likely a loss, but I'm just hoping for a close game.

The thing I love most about the hawks is how smart they play. After watching their last 10 games, you can tell they do their homework on all the players they face. I remember watching their game against Memphis when they played some of the best defense I've seen this season. Anytime Marc got the ball in the post they'd double off Calathes who they knew couldn't shoot, and forced Marc to take bad shots or Calathes to shoot, which both happened which lead to their win.

This mixed with the fact that they lead the league in assist and are lights out from downtown spells trouble for our sh**ty defense.
