    when you give up 74 in the first half winning the game is pretty much out of the question unless you score 70+ also.
    Not looking like a good start to this stretch of games.
    Always happens when they get an easy win. They always seem to lose focus.

    Kind of that game against a JV Bulls team was bad. They never play well after winning like that.

    Blazers out shot Toronto from the field.....and are down 22 points. That takes some talent to accomplish.

    I don't like it because I reckon Dame, and CJ would drive, kick the ball to Evans, who would brick the three (career 31.4% 3P%, although yes, he has gotten better in the last couple of seasons).

    Also Evans is a 2, not a 3; can you envisage him trying to guard Durant?

    I think Love would get abused by modern NBA 4's who would just drive around him. So you have to play him at the 5, which benches Nurk, and tanks our defence.

    Yeah. Way to miss out of the radical comeback and last second Lillard time winner!

    By fit, he was never "best available." He was just "available."

    Gotta give the Raptors some credit. They've assembled a nice team. Their bench is deep, and they don't even have Miles tonight.

    I have a feeling Evans is fool's gold.
