Shai comes back mid April don't worry. They're not out losing us. We have like 4 maybe 5 wins left in the season.

Can we shut down Lowry as well as OG and Fvv? Siakam can continue racking up empty stats to increase value in case of a trade down the line.

Great night overall. To each his own, and I am not criticizing anyone. However, I do not understand the logic of some posters at this stage of the season, hoping the Raptors can slide into the playoffs with this flawed roster. There are some posters rooting for wins. Please tell me what does that accomplish? Brooklyn or Philly will sweep the Raptors, and embarrass them.

So, we get the 16th pick overall. How does that benefit the future? The goal should be to get as many balls to bounce our way in the lottery. If this was a mediocre draft year like 2013, when Anthony Bennett went first overall, and former Raptors great Alex Len went 5th overall, I would have said go for 10th. The Bulls moved up from 7th to 4th last year. I would even rather be 7th, than 16th, and still have a chance at the first 4 picks of this solid draft.

Time for OG and Siakam (to rest every other game or so), and FVV/Lowry (to play as little as possible the rest of the way). I am not bashing anyone. I respect everyone's opinions. Just my perspective. Maybe others think I am out to lunch. This post was a response to someone who replied to me earlier. Hope the L's keep on coming.

Pistons are too far out now sadly. I can see Casey playing the long game and going all out knowing Sac can reach us, he's been calculated this season lol maybe I'm giving him too much credit. I wouldn't put it past him though, he hates us.

With Cavs winning it would be a clutch night for tWo to have Kings win tonight.

I’m officially calling on Masai to suspend Fred for the remainder of the season for leaving the bench.

Any raptor who has a problem with this will also be suspended - except Baynes

Another good day for the tank.

Still tough to get over our last second win against the Wizards the other day but things are breaking our way otherwise.

We took care of business on our side, stayed competitive but ultimately gave Chicago the W. Not sure what shape their starters will be for their matchup with Atlanta but that's up to fate.

Pistons up is a welcome surprise. Hope they can get the W tonight. I DO think Casey is capable of pushing his team to do a hopeful late season run. Hope they continue to put up numbers.

OKC is openly tanking. I don't know how many wins they have left in the season but hopefully karma is on our side. Losing that game to team helped a ton. There's about 4 possible wins left on their schedule.

Cleveland getting the W is HUGE. We need to pull them closer to us. Finish our job and hand them the W on Saturday. This is our most critical game we've had arguably all season. If we lose against Cleveland, we're in better position for championship 2 one day.
