Excited to see some more ref ball action and Tony Brothers highlights

Expecting to see the guys motivated and fired up after seeing their coach go off for them

IQ should be fresh after only 26 minutes

Tough back to back especially after a hard-fought game last night. Its too bad we dug ourselves such a massive hole to start the year because our season is on the line right now.

Zubac should be easier to handle than AD.
I'd even maybe consider Boucher or Porter over Young.

Unfortunately, the Clippers just have a ton of talent - Kawhi, PG, Harden, Powell - and I don't think we'll have an answer for all the offensive firepower.

I just hope we keep it close and the young guys continue to show out. This West Coast road trip has made me a believer in this squad.

I'm not ready to move on

Tony Brothers (#25)
Gediminas Petraitis (#50)
Leon Wood (#40)

Negative outlook:

-They played a high stress game last night and may be gassed today, both physically and mentally.
-Clippers were just chilling at home, and they have been rolling lately.
-A loss here puts the Raps 8 games under .500. While the GB column is not insurmountable for 9th-10th, their playoff outlook would dim even more. And even gunning for 10th just means attempting to win 2 games on the road for the right to get spanked in Boston.

Positive outlook:

-Our young trio is looking mighty fine.
-They have a real possibility of finishing this road trip 3-3. Anyone would have taken that prior to the trip.

Would love nothing more than to spank the Clips while a sweaty and spitting Ballmer looks on. Going to be really tough though.

I look forward to seeing the team rally around Darko tonight!

I do not look forward to another 11:30 PM start time (Atlantic)

Kawhi is 13-2 lifetime versus the Raptors, and 6-0 since he departed for the Clippers. Will be very tough.

If we know anything about the NBA reffing fraternity it's that they could very well show up and screw us worse tonight to rub it in our faces. Petty men with woeful pride and agendas...I'd be shocked if we got a fair whistle tonight. It' s going to a flop-a-thon like it usually is with the usual suspects. I'm so pissed now that I'm not watching this game. Have to take a week off or something...Has the league released who is winning tonight yet?

The only thing I am concerned about is Masai buying at the deadline again

I like to find positives even in dire times.

This post-game speech is gonna do a lot for Scottie's morale and development.
He struggled and didn't look like his regular self after his bestfriend OG got traded, but since then you've had Masai and now Darko label him as the face of this team and the FACE OF THIS LEAGUE.

I expect another big game from Scottie tonight.

Tough back to back after exerting all that mental and physical effort last night. Would love for them to win but this is a scheduled loss. It's going to be on Quickley since he didn't play all that much yesterday.

Clippers are playing good after early struggles. This is going to be a tough one on a BTB.

Are we gonna see another flagrant “with speed” tonight? Stay tuned…

So frustrating that we could be undefeated up until now on this roadtrip if not for bad reffing in two games. I wouldn't even be mad about losing to the clips. But now thanks to the corrupt league we'll be lucky to go 3-2.

We' ll see what we get, but it's not going to take long for the league to figure out we're nothing much offensively without IQ and RB. If you shut down one those two there's not enough aggression on this team to drive it. Worst, Darko is using our best line-ups in order to get heavy fourth quarter minutes for the scrap on our bench. We've got to get the 4th quarter minutes sorted, because you can't bring in guys cold with 5 minutes left when the other team is in full comeback mode.

LOL. I think the wrath of ref fraternity is about to fall on Scottie even more. This could be career defining in that it sets him up to be the new FVV in Toronto with the scoundrels that manipulate the NBA product. Watch him get into quick foul trouble tonight. They're going to try and rattle him. They won't stop until he's traded to Miami where they' ll make him a golden child.

Clippers are better than the lakers, this is gonna be a tough one. Harden has been great with Kawhi and George.
