That's pretty ugly. Easy win for Toronto. Big minutes for Kuminga. Hopefully, he doesn't foul out.

Should be an easy win for the Raptors but if you're interested in a peak at what our future could be, I'm interested to see what Kuminga and Moody can do with more extensive minutes and with more of a carte blanche to make plays. If we lose but they show us a real glimpse of what they can become, I'm cool with that.
This is the game for Looney to show that he's the real secret sauce.
If we defend (should be able to defend with that group) and don't turn the ball over, we'll have a shot. Would not expect a win obviously, but just hoping everyone competes like they want playing time.
I think Moody gets the start again (today was just a warm up for him in prep for tomorrow's heavier minutes).
I'll say these are the starters:
Chioza, Moody, Dlee, JTA, Looney
Kuminga's versitility may help a lot here as we can play him on the wing (short on SF's) and the big spots (short at PF/C). Also possible Kuminga starts for JTA... I just doubt Kerr starts both of the teenagers though we could use someone that could put their head down and get to the basket.
Good opportunity for Chioza to win over the Warriors Board, and Dowtin to open some eyes either on our coaching staff or around the league. If I recall he looked solid in the one game he had a decent amount of minutes with the big club. He has looked good in the SCW games I've seen. Plays with poise. Kind of like a combo guard type... or maybe just a SG in a combo guard body haha.
At any rate, hope we're not conceding any games. If we want to go anywhere in the playoffs some of our role players are going to need to be able to step up. If we can compete well this could be be a nice building block game for them. Good opportunity for D Lee to get back on track too.
