    We always get spanked in Toronto. Would be surprised to get a win today.

    Remember when he bricked 53 shots and had 17 turnovers a few games ago?

    Worst Harden ever

    Well one of the positives is DeRozan refuses to allow JV to assert himself offensively for long stretches at a time.

    So there's that.

    I agree. It was loathsome watching Harden go for 53/17/16 a week ago.

    I guess that's what makes this team gel. Someone always steps up when others are shooting bad. They all have horrible games, but also great games. Nobody is Mr. Consistent Shooter, but they get points even if they have to take 25 shots to do it. We win that way, so it is working. I'm loving this team. Sure, we can do better at some things, especially rebounding and defense in the paint, but hopefully when Clint gets back we will have less problems defensively.

    Sorry if someone already posted but ESPN saying Kyle Wiltjer sent to the D-league. Who's replacing his spot?

    Is Patrick Patterson playing? If not, the Raptors have very little chance!

    I guess they don't want him rotting on the bench. That's too bad, but hopefully at least getting time on the court will better prepare him for a role off the bench. I see a lot of promise in him, and in adding another really good 3 pt shooter with our bench.

    Yeah I'm guessing they want to get him some playing time.

    If we had DMo and Chandler Parsons we wouldn't have no problem though.

    We get our 10th loss tonight, DeRozan will get 10+ FTs and every tick tack call.

    I would guess that we have a winning record there all time.
    Terrible guess.

    Harrell may get dominated by this teams length. Nene should play more tonight.

    I was always thought rockets lose in Toronto for a couple reasons.

    1. It's almost always an early game.

    2. It's a long trip to Canada. They're probably very tired and no one really wants to be there.

    3. It's always during the dog days of the NBA season.
