Even as a Raptors fan, I would waaaaayyyy rather watch that game.

You're a Raptors fan and you would rather watch Hawks vs Warriors game. I don't know how you can call yourself a Raptors fan then

Nothing wrong with wanting to watch the two best teams go at it man

Also, it's not going to be fun to watch the Raptors get curb stomped. Maybe if Raptors are winning I'll switch to this but Hawks game is going to be way more fun

I really hate the retro nights almost as much as the Sunday games. The team just doesn't seem perform well. They blew out Washington in November, but were beaten soundly by Dallas (Demar hurt himself probably wearing those fan custom shoes), and got blown out by Atlanta last month. They beat Brooklyn in December which makes them 2-2 with the purple jerseys.

Add to that the weirdness the constant tributes of bit players in Toronto's history, it takes away from the game. Honestly, I could care less about honouring JYD.

Ross is my x-factor tonight. Not only does he not have to worry about chasing JJ Reddick around, he can match-up against Jamal Crawford who is from the Pacific Northwest which should be a friendly sort of match-up for him. I think Ross will rise to the occasion against a mentor of his.

On the flipside, Matt Barnes is the guy who can kill us. He is a good shooter from outside and has hit over 37%. He will get a few more touches without JJ around. Plus he is an irritant and could give Demar trouble defensively.

Chris Paul is the machine who runs the show might not be as effective defensively playing on a back-to-back. He only played 27 minutes during the blow-out, so he might be better than expected. Basically, the Clips gave up the game to the Cavs to rest for us, which should be taken as big slap in the face. I hope we crush them.

With Barnes' recent technicals and the Paul situation with the refs I think the Clips come out fairly aggressive early on. These veteran teams love some kind of adversity to play off, and it will be interesting to see how the refs call the game. I think with home advantage, Clips bad rep, and Clips being tired on a back-to-back, we should have about 40+ free throws tonight if we stay on the attack.

Imagine ESPN kept the initial schedule and aired the Nets vs Knicks.

Not expecting much. A win would be surprising to say the least.

Lemme guess ... slow start; they pick it up at the end of the quarter; Play well in the 2nd and 3rd then collapse in the 4th. Casey will sit JV in the 4th as usual. This is an L by 21.

I'm at game and DeAndre went 0-6 from the line in warm ups before making one because his teammate's ball hit his in. Would be nice to be that tall.
