    Especially if Stotts thinks Meyers can match-up with the smaller, more mobile Scola. That's just not gonna work. Because he's NOT A PF.

    there is (was) a site called profootballmock.com. on that site was a parody of NFL qb's on Facebook that just talked shit to each other. Ben Roethlisberger was portrayed as a moron. he always used caps lock and was always obvious and used the phrase that i used, just different wording. it's actually pretty funny.

    I would guess that they want Ross's firepower off the bench.

    Looks like Norman Powell's specialty is defense. Shutting down the best wing on the floor.

    Little Wright has been in the D-League a bit. He is 3rd string PG but they only play 2 PG's in TOR and Cory Joseph is the backup.

    I am guessing they need Ross' scoring off the bench. Powell was really good his last year at UCLA. I have not seen him play in the NBA but I liked his game.

    Got it. I can see how that would be funny. If you had done that as Travis Outlaw, for instance, I would totally have gotten it.

    Dude, you should do that!

    It's just not a good look when a decrepit Scola is more mobile than Meyers.

    Hopefully they start Crabbe at the 3 and Aminu at the 4.

    I'd rather they start Harkless so Stotts can keep the rotations basically the same as if Noah were there.

    Harkless at the 4? He'll get abused

    No. Harkless at the 3, Aminu at the 4, with Aminu sliding down to the 3 when Davis comes in after about 7 minutes or so. I think Harkless could handle Derozan for a few minutes, and I have no doubt that Aminu can handle Scola.

    Or Crabbe at the 3, give him half of Vonlehs minutes, and give Leonard the other half. I think we're actually trying to win this game, not tank.

    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    Pat Connaughton in the starting line up

    I would prefer this myself however. You slow down Derozan and Scola. Both who are factors in the Raptors offense.

    HCP see if you can get some Earth Wind And Fire in your highlight package tonight; Maurice White died today.

    Paul Allen is going to be bummed.
