He has played every other game. Load management was more for back to backs, Sunday's was an exception.

A blowout win here would make up for the Magic loss.

Losing back to back on home court seems highly unlikely.

I'll go with the dub here.

We're 44-17 and I still never feel confident in this team on any given night. You never know what you're gonna get.

Spurs game was a pretty intense game.
By missing the Orlando game it created a nice 4 day break.
Maybe from now on he’ll miss a game after an unusually intense game.
Could be Kawhi is getting so close to 100% that this was the smartest choice going into end of season?

Boston just can't seem to ever win in Toronto so I'm hoping the streak keeps going. If this team brings out the energy and focus they can beat anyone in the league.

Ibaka bowling tonight. Last time he went bowling the night before a game, he played like hot garbage.

If we counting ESPN and TNT only

Boston W, L, L
Philly W,W
Warriors W,W
Bucks L
Spurs W, L
Rockets L

Btw today's game is SNO/SN1, not TSN. Seems like a lot of games listed as SN1 are also on SNO, but for some reason the schedule on Raptors.com doesn't list it

Kawhi should be incredibly rested. I want to see more of KL-DG-KL-Siakam-Gasol with so little games to go.
"I definitely knew he traveled, but I didn't know they were going to call it. That was one of them situations in which a great player made a move...and they called the call. And I was like, 'Oh, man, there is a God.'
