Game Day: Suns (37-28) @ Raptors (37-27) , Sun 3/16/14

Post by Superbone »

Time: 1:00 PM ET (10:00 AM Pacific/Arizona)
Place: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON
TV: FSAZ, NBALP

I figured I had better get this going now as we have such an early start! These two teams have nearly identical records. The Raptors have been playing very well in the second half of the season. This game is in no way a gimme.

Go Suns!!!

We don't usually do well on early starts on the East coast. Goes without saying every game here on out is a must win.

Go Suns!

The Raptors are dangerous, and right now they are actually a superior team. Please, let's try to do something else besides turning the game into a shootout.

Pay attention to Amir's activity, Patterson and Ross' shooting, hit Valanciunas hard and often and don't let the likes of Vasquez and Salmons have meaningful games.

They don't rebound particularly well, so let's not give them unnecessary extra opportunities.

Looking forward to see Bledsoe on Lowry and PJ on DeRozan.

Thanks for getting the game day thread up early SB, I would've missed the game had you not.

Raps are solid, they were the 2nd team I thought we'd lose to this week. Our D and Green need to show up if we wanna win.

WTF today is the classic Raptors-Suns matinee? Damn, I've already missed the first quarter, but at least we are winning so far.

Our bench has really out played our starters, especially defensively.

ESPN lists Valanciunas at 6'11" 231. He looks physically bigger than Len :lol:

He's going to be the 20th in league history to shoot less than 5% with 20+ attempts.

Beast with the least.

I personally wouldn't miss him if he was gone, but I could say that about half the team lol.
