I'd expect a Toronto W tonight unless the Pistons get hot and shoot 40%+ from deep. Although the Raptors are 9.5 point favorites tonight I wouldn't be surprised to see Detroit keep it closer than that.

the spread went up. Sounds like Barnes and Trent are a go

One of the best games I have ever been too. My wife and I are visible in the live shot of this hammer. The dust up that came after was something to behold too... I wonder where Chuck Hayes is now?

In a perfect world (where everyone is healthy) his rotation looks like:
- Starting line up is: FVV/GTJ/OG/Barnes/Siakam (Important to get these guys 36-38 minutes a night)
- Khem and Precious share the 5 spot, important to get them early in the game when team is fully healthy
- Ideally wants to get Boucher 20 minutes a night
- Flynn has grown in the sense that he's able to come into the game and organize the team well
- Says Flynn needs less volume & be more efficient

That's all he had to say. He's been pleased with the way Boucher has been playing as of late.

People are still on Flynn’s jock? I can tell by the last point that someone wanted answers to why he isn’t playing. Whenever Nurse is annoyed by a question you get a candid answer.

Could be a long night; the Pistons always seem to generate super clean looks against the Raptors because Nurse's aggressive defence elevates their lacklustre talent level (gotta give some credit to Casey for that of course, knowing how to bend the Raps defence).

Damn, I had tickets to this game right behind the Raps bench. This sucks. I am not risking going over the border... Too difficult, I think. At least I sold them...

Hopefully at least one of Scottie/Gary can go tonight

I know this is Casey's superbowl. But somehow these games hold some weight for us fans too.

Quick math.

48 minutes x 5 spots = 240 minutes

"36-38 minutes a night" for the big 5..let's say 36 = 180 minutes
+ 20 minutes each for Boucher, Birch, Achiuwa = 60 minutes

180 + 60 = 240 minutes

That's your rotation come playoffs. None of the other guys matter.

The only question is whether one of Achiuwa/Birch/Boucher get pushed out by a trade for a 20mpg ballhandler on the bench instead.

Right. But thats 3 bigs coming off ur bench and nothing more. Its tough lol

has Vegas adjusted to Casey's ability to own us yet?

This game shouldn't even be closed. Should be a blowout win for the Raptors.

11-5 in the last 16, but yeah. We've been really good since December.

One-point loss to OKC because Champagnie's tip-in was 0.1 seconds late, blowout loss to the Cavs because all we had available were 3rd stringers/10-day and close losses to the Nets, Sixers and Suns.
