ClutchFans Game Thread: Raptors @ Rockets 11/11/2013

We should be able to take this one, but I don't think it solves any of our major problems.

 

Would be highly disappointed and legitimately concerned for the first time if we don't take this one.

We should be 6-1 right now if we played with heart.

 

Toronto is better then their 3-5 record suggests. They gave the Pacers all they could handel in Indiana. They have some weapons. If we don't play well we will lose.

 

The Lakers was a must-win game. This one isn't. Most people now would be happy if this team could just have one game without either starting slow or collapsing at the end.

 

Candler bang to get a double double and carry us to a win

 

I think this is going to be another close game. Hope the coaching staff has their scouting reports and comes out with better game plan and rotations.

TT should only come in as a spark and not to occupy major minutes.

TT should be surrounded with 3pointer shooters. We dont need much basket drives during this period.

 

will lin and landry do their handshake?

 

We can't lose this win.... Can we...?

 

Is Lowry playing? Should be fun heh.

 

TT only if we have a lead of 19+ points
and for couple of minutes

 

+1 all day, any day.

 

TT all day long....

 

And when Hack-a-Howard comes, they need to sit him and play Smith or Asik instead, depending on which we need most (rebounds vs offensive paint presence)

 

If we can hold Durant to just 20 points, we got this!

 

McHale and new shouldn't even fit in the same sentence.

 

the battle of the chuckers

gay vs harden

who will come out on top as the top chucker?

 

I'm not really that worried. The Raptors best player, Jonas V, plays 25 minutes a game.

Their three highest scorers shoot under 42% from inside the arc (Gay shoots 38% inside the arc), and get to the line a combined 12 times a game.

Their coach is apparently okay with Lowry jacking up 5 threes a game, which is a recipe for disaster against Bev.

The only thing we have to worry about is they have a league high 147 points off second chances (33 more than the next team), by grabbing a league high 33.4% ORB. Meanwhile, we've given opponents 107 points off second chances, good for third worst in the league. Source

 

If Harden sits (and he should), I'd like to see a Lin/Bev/Parsons/Casspi/Howard starting line up. No TT, please.

NO TT.

 

we will miss you :grin:

 

Hopefully these fans get what they ask for heh.
