Game Day: Suns (11-34) @ Raptors (33-13), Thurs 1/17/19

Post by Superbone »

Time: 5:30 pm AZ (4:30 pm PT/7:30 pm ET)
Place: Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, ON
TV: FSAZ/NBALP

Both teams are coming off losses they'd like to forget. Leonard has yet to play a back to back this season and is coming off a 36 minute stint on Wednesday.

Go Suns!!!

Would love to see our young wings take turns on Kawhi. Just rotate Bridges, Jackson and Oubre on him.

Ibaka is starting so Ayton should have a nice advantage there in terms of size. Even as good a defender as Ibaka is, Ayton shouldnt have much trouble on the post so long as we throw it to him.

So we should look for a 20/10/3 game from Ibaka on 65% shooting, right?

Conservatively. He averages 16/7/1/53%, so what you’re describing would be about 4/3/2/12% above his averages. It’s very rare for a starting center agains the Suns not to improve on his averages by at least that much.

No Lowry or Kawhi tonight. Might be a winnable game

I think you can add Valančiūnas and Anunoby to that list. I'm still leery of the game.

You mean because they've been on the injured list for a while?

It's a gift. I don't like to brag, but I believe I can copy and paste with the best of them, haha.

With so many Raptors out injured, we ought to be able to keep up with them. But I have learned not to expect anything from this team if I don't want my heart to get broken. Who knows which Suns team will show up tonight?

How's this? Suns lose by 20 instead of 25 due to Leonard being out.
