Hope that kneecap remains healthy enough for him to enjoy life but bad enough for him to not touch the court. Does this make me a bad person? Lol

Should be a tough game. I expect to see further development from Pascal. I think Gasol has a big game too. Kyle and Fred both will hit big shots. Norm will continue to play well. Ibaka destroys their second unit and our jumbo lineup sees time and goes on a huge run. OG makes LeBron struggle.

Patrick McCaw is going to single handedly lose us a playoff game. You can just see it coming.

I expect his minutes in the playoffs to be a sparingly as last season.

Thats what I’m hoping for, but I don’t think Nurse would play him so many minutes in the regular season if he didn’t plan on using him in the playoffs tbh.

After watching some games over the first few days, it’s clear that the refs are calling with a tighter whistle and also giving benefit of the doubt to star players.

Lakers would love to have the game slowed down to a crawl, so I worry that this will play right in to their hands.

I would not be surprised to see a Raptors loss due to 40+ free throws for the Lakers.

This game doesn't mean all that much but I'm hoping people will still try to win. Was surprised at how intense the previous Clippers vs Lakers game was.

Disagree. We're trying to lock in that 2nd seed and Lakers would clinch the West with a win tonight. The game is also on national TV... on a Saturday.. featuring LeBron... so yeah all eyes will be on us.

Yep the officiating has been horrific. I'm just hoping that as its the last game of the day the refs decide they would rather not make it a 3hr snooze so they can get back for their cocoa. All of the techs called have been so ridiculous in the games I've seen, if they're going to behave like this a JV high school game then just give them ear plugs.
