I feel like Raptors will crush the scrimmages. Teams are going deep into the rotations to gice guys rest, plus not everybody is suiting up.
Really let's us use our advantage of a roster 15 players deep

Micro-small-ball needs to be shellacked back into the murky recesses of Daryl Morey's mind for good.
Dwayne Casey jumbo lineup:
FVV
Lowry
TD2
Matt Thomas
Norm

It's funny, if the big lineup works. We'll have one of the biggest and smallest lineups in the league. With arguably the best version of each. At worst we're like 2-3.
Talk about depth and diversity. That's just great roster design.

though it will be a scrimmage, just curious to see how D'Antoni will run his team without Russ &James and their positive 'Rona

I can’t believe how excited I am for a scrimmage. I’m even avoiding tonight’s games so my first viewing experience of the NBA’s return is a Raps game

Has Nurse mentioned experimenting with the raps big line up? That'd be interesting. Lean Gasol at the 5, Serge at the 4, OG at 3, Spicy at the 2, Kyle at the 1? Is that the thinking? Then a bench group of Fred, TD, McCaw, Norm, and Slim Duck?

Would be cool if they can set up a restricted viewing pit at Jurassic Park. Observing COVID precautions, of course.

Turns out Luka, Giannis, Middleton, etc. all lied about not touching a basketball or having access to a hoop during the hiatus just to get ahead of their competition.
I'm fairly confident the team, or at least most of the guys, were training at Drake's home gym. I know Kyle said a couple months back that he'd always go there to get some shots up & would take his kids with him.
We all know Drake does a lot for the team and cares a lot about the players so this wouldn't come as a surprise.

I sure as hell hope so man, just feels so weird all these guys looking rusty and expect to b back in full swing within 8 games.

HO MAN. Less than 24 hours away from seeing the Raptors again.
Hope we don't get the terrible fake fan noise the Lakers feed had today, completely ruined the viewing experience. Thought something was wrong with my speakers for a good while there. Just stick with the regular beats/music.

How many of them were staying in TO? I though most of the bigger name guys went home.
We need Drake in the bubble to set the vibez. Could you imagine how much he would annoy the other team. Just look what he did when he was one of thousands, this time he’ll be the only voice Bud hears.
