Official Game Thread: Huskies (4-3) @ Knickerbockers (5-1) - Monday, Nov 1, 2021 7:30PM - NBATV/TSN/ TSN Radio 1050

Yeah this is an easy L. Not even gonna watch if Scottie ain’t playing

[tecumseh18]

Here is how I see the SL if Barnes can't go:
FVV
GTJ
OG
PA
KB
I expect Nurse to go big and try to dominate the paint and on second chance points cuz the offence will be awful anyway.

Don't disagree - our strategy has been to get up twice as many shots as the other team. But Chris can both play the put-back game AND shoot from the outside. Birch seems to have regressed in his perimeter shooting this season.

Scottie being out was definitely not the news I wanted to wake up to smh

[ATLTimekeeper]

I got this Knicks as a L thus we should not play Barnes.
Perfect opportunity for Chris: He would be a great fit between OG and Precious.

Could be interesting if TreBoucher goes off.

The Knicks are overperforming from 3 at the moment (Kemba 57%, Fournier 45% on 8.5 attempts, Rose 54%, Barrett 38%). Those numbers will regress and they'll have to work harder for offense.

Meanwhile the Raptors are all underperforming from 3 (except Svi). This might be a game for The Dragon to get back into the rotation.

more minutes for Boucher and Khem... possibly svi

[Bruin]

Banton might start

The Dragon still looks out of the shape sitting on that bench. It is like he has gained weight since Media day. Let's see some Flynn!
I am not believer of the Knicks either, but the NBA is always a better league with a good team in New York

[dkb965]

Very thing upfront with Siakam/Barnes/Watanabe out. Hopefully they are all back soon and we can see what a fully healthy Raptors teams looks like.

[ATLTimekeeper]

Is Champagnie with the team? Nurse needs to find minutes for the local kids. Start Champagnie in Barnes' spot. Bring Boucher off the bench early, before the rest of the B-Unit. Keep the Dragon on high alert if The Banton Menace is getting jobbed on calls early.

[OAKLEY_2]

I hate to be that guy but there's literally 0 chance I watch this game if Scotty b isn't playing lol.

Don't be that guy. I will watch them for Banton & SVI.

[OAKLEY_2]

I love D-REX the Banton Menace.

[OAKLEY_2]

Actually it is the perfect game to throw Dragon out there for a full 30. Tell Flynn it ain't happening until Dragon goes elsewhere.

[Raps in 4]

His health is way more important than a meaningless game. It just means I probably won't watch the game lol.

[Spicy P]

No Scottie = No Watchie

[maternal85]

Let Barnes rest. Start Banton and give Flynn more playing time.

[canz55]

Scottie being out was totally predictable.

Don't start Boucher. We need Birch to carry Boucher in the frontcourt on the second unit. For us to have a chance in this game we need Precious to play better.

[duppyy]

If we get blown out without scottie, his hype will go through the roof lol.

[simple_jack]

No Scottie?

Lol I might not even watch this game. This season is all about watching Scottie

[alienchild]

Nurse should try changing the di-lithium crystals in the transporter so Scottie can be recovered.

[alpngso]

Banton might start
