Hopefully not another gamewinner by Serge.

[NetsWorld]

OKC is the better team IMO. Teams like this just don't have the tools to contain Westbrook. Only one who can stop Westbrook against these type of teams is himself. OKC 110 and TOR 100

Tough one, having a hard time seeing this as a win. There is NCAA on tomorrow too. Raps favored by 2.5.

[retrobro90]

Positives: Still no Lowry, Roberson great defensive matchup against Derozen.

Negatives: They won last time with no front court and Derozen still went off for 37. We tend to suck on the road and toronto fans get hyped.

Really hope we stay disciplined and play good defense for 48 minutes. No slacking like we did against BKN. Should be easier on that end just because toronto doesn't really share it that much. Won't have as many rotations to clean up and guys can sorta just worry about protecting their man.

Raps board is more negative than the posters here so I chalk this up a win.

They say McDermott and Gibson are Raps killers. We'll see if this game will be a rejuvenation for Doug.

[ThunderBolt]

We better bring our A-game or this could get ugly. These are the kind of games we need Oladipo and someone else to step up.

Could one of you kind gentlemen drop by our board and explain to Raptor fans who Ibaka is? They aren't very familiar. He's ag ood player but he was also never a part of OKC's 'big 3' in his last year. That was Westbrook+KD+Adams

[InTheSabonus]

Christon/Abrines/Sabonis/Kanter all on the court at the same time. Who needs defence anyway...

one up that with Dougie

[InTheSabonus]

Sabonis missing the open jumper, then promptly fouling a 3 point shooter with one second left in the quarter, is pretty representative of where he's at right now.

[Thabo Sefolosha]

We need the fathers of the Raptors - Taj Gibson and Doug - to show up tonight.

[ThunderBolt]

I'm not sure Sabonis should even be in the rotation anymore. He can't do anything right.

[InTheSabonus]

I'm not sure Sabonis should even be in the rotation anymore. He can't do anything right.

He should be developing in the d-league. That's how bad he's gotten.

Then again (sadly), our backup power forward would be...Jerami Grant? And he's just as bad.

[Thabo Sefolosha]

Westbrook just nutmeg Cory

[InTheSabonus]

Pass of the season

[Thabo Sefolosha]

21 FT for Toronto
7 FT for OKC...

Weak foul on Roberson

[NaturalThunder]

Christon/Abrines/Sabonis/Kanter all on the court at the same time. Who needs defence anyway...

That lineup is very prone to all-around incompetent basketball play.

[ThunderBolt]

Overall it was a good first half. It seemed like Westbrook was on the bench for an eternity.
