Side note, DeRozan, get that bloody mole the size of a quarter removed, i swear it has it has it's own life force

Stat of the game:

 

Combined minutes for Novak and Salmons: 15 minutes

 

I think De Colo has done enough on defense to warrant getting 10-15 minutes a night.

It's more qualified to be a planet than Pluto

[Caper]

I'm still in pain from OKC game.

[Caper]

This should be the start of a 5 game win streak.

Valanciunas plays 33:08, De Colo 10:31, Novak 9:04, Salmons 6:27. Is this real life? Is Casey learning?

A minute off Salmons and four off Novak going to De Colo and Val would make this perfect.

Yeah Novak has no business being in the game other than a needed last minute 3 or garbage time, but baby steps...

[dineke]

Novak could be a nice weapon if Casey had any idea how to coach offense.

JV 13 pts/13 rebounds while only taking 4 shots

 

Yeah that's a pretty efficient game. Run some f***ing plays for the big man! Did a great job getting to the line but they need to let the guy use his post game.

[SpeedyGose]

Wow, loved Casey's 2nd half rotation. It was pretty much perfect other than Chuck (who will be benched as soon as Pat is back, so it doesn't bother me too much).

 

Who would have thought, playing our starters for 8+ minutes in the 4th leads to a dominating 4th quarter. Maybe playing all our starters 33+ minutes is a good idea...?

When JV gets better at passing out of double teams down low, I think he will be a beast. He has some nice moves, the jumper from 15 feet; running hook; pump fake and slam; fake the running hook reverse pivot etc.

 

He has really seemed to progress in the last month or so, really happy to see that.

 

Regarding Lowry, I think getting him to a 3/30 would be nice.

[Dylan]

Lowry going to have a big game

 

Lets go Raps!

[Dylan]

Weak start to this one

[theblujay]

They better win this one with all those guys on the cave injured.

[Dylan]

4 of 15 lol

[Orgfiller]

I'm sorry to keep doing this, but does anyone have a Raptors feed? I'm currently watching a Fox Cleveland stream but it's like 3-4 possesions late and the commentators seem like homers.

 

On another note, oh look, Salmons is in the game.

[Orgfiller]

Wow, brick after brick, can we start driving more please?

[jays_fever]

How was that a foul..he got the ball

[Dylan]

Down by 14 early, come no raps its the injured cavs

[jays_fever]

On another note, De Colo's a baller. Give him every single minute that Salmons was getting

[Orgfiller]

I think at the end he got a bit of the arm, great hustle either way, payed off with the miss.

[Dylan]

Playing 4/5 of our bench isn't going to reduce the gap

[Orgfiller]

JV has been falling for the pump fakes a bit too much lately, needs to learn to stay low.

 

Vasquez shoots SO much, pass it a bit bro.

[Orgfiller]

Playing 4/5 of our bench isn't going to reduce the gap

 

Salmons has already played as many minutes as last game, unacceptable.

[Abomination]

This is ugly

[SpeedyGose]

One positive...I like De Colo a lot for a bench piece. He needs to getting all of Salmons minutes. Good handle, good defender, capable shooter and distributor

[Dylan]

9 of 30.. 3 of 8 from the FT. FUGLY

[Abomination]

Lowry looks like he's hurting pretty bad. I hope they don't make it worse before the playoffs.

[Orgfiller]

They're finally making some shots, but defense is still very lackluster.
