What do you think of these Matchups:

Gasol on Bogut/Looney (whoever they start)
Kawhi on Draymond Green (Stop his playmaking)
Lowry on Iguodala
Green on Thompson
Siakam on Curry

If Thompson starts heating up then switch Kawhi and Green. If Curry heats up switch Kawhi with Siakam.

I like Siakam on Thompson or Curry. The length of siakam and Quickness can cause them problems.

I`d probably switch Siakam and Green.

Make Klay shoot over Siakam or force him to dribble the ball. I think he`ll have serious issues with P`s length and quickness. Pascal also can save a little more energy for offence in this matchup rather than chasing around Steph (not the Klay is an easy guy to go against, he's just not Steph)

On the flip side you get Danny and Kawhi thwarting the Dray/Steph PnR. I think their chemistry will be huge in those situations. Tell Danny/Norm to take the offence that comes to them, but use all the energy they have to make life as tough as possible on Steph. I also think telling Danny to make that his sole focus and to stop worrying about his shot might help him be a little more loose and in his own head a bit less. Kawhi can play off Dray a bit and be a free saftey of sorts, getting his hands in passing lands and getting out on the break. Dont guard Dray on the 3 line until he forces you too.

The thing that scares me is if Kerr decides to go small and starts Dray at C right off that bat. I think that basically neutralises Marc and forces us to go with with Serge to start, or even Pascal at C and go small. Boogie coming back and starting honestly works in our favour IMO.

if kerr goes small, gasol can feast inside, jv style

Gasol also matches up real well against dray defensively. Doesn't have to worry about his outside shot and can swallow him up with sheer size down low.

It gets fairly chilly in the Bay Area no? This weather is fairly normal for them year round - probably a bit warmer but not much.

Edit: Currently - the weather in San Francisco (I know they play in Oakland but some of the players live in SF) is 13. It's 12 here right now.

Is this good or bad for the raptors? All I remember is that Callahan hates us and despite us hating Brothers we have a good record on his officiated games...

[NinjaBro]

We're good as long as Marc Davis and Tony Brothers are reffing our games.

DONT. LET. UP

I’ll just throw this out there ( apologizies if it’s been stated somewhere, I haven’t seen it )

Raps won rd 1 in 5
Raps won rd 2 in 7
Raps won rd 3 in 6

There’s only one more number we need to win by, to complete the cycle !!!!!

LET’S GO RAPTORS !!!!!

My life would be complete if this happens. They could move the franchise down to Mexico and I wouldn't care.

I would gladly cheer for the Cancun Cougars
