    This one feels like a loss to me, we have been struggling coming out of the gate, I don't think Toronto will let us come back if that happens again.

    still thinking we win this one. We're due to recover following the other night's game. Harden roars back with at least 35 or 40 points.

    gonna be tough, rockets never play well in toronto and it's probably cold as ****. Think we really struggle and feels like a DD loss to me, however hope they prove me wrong!

    i agree. we should offer teams our standard package of brewer, ennis and a future 2nd. if they dont go for it screw them, their loss.

    The only concern is that it is a Early Sunday game. The Saturday night party is going to be pretty wild. Let's see. Are we going to go for the assists and jacking up a lot of threes? If that happens, too much partying.

    Keep in mind though that the Raptors play in Chicago tonight. A 7PM Saturday game followed by a 5PM Sunday one. That's a brutal turnaround.

    We usually struggle in Toronto so hopefully we can keep it competitive and pull out the W. We really could've used Capela this game but we've been pulling out wins without him so I believe!

    Watching a little bit of the Bulls v Raptors game right now, boy is I going to be tough tomorrow.Defensive wise they are so sound and don't get lost on their rotations especially on the perimeter with likes of Carrol and Lowry hence Harden and Eric wont get any easy looks.I also get the feeling the big V is going to feast on trez with his huge frame.

    We need to be on our A game to win in Toronto.
