Why do teams star players always seem to be injured when they play the Raptors? Durant, Rondo and now Melo?

 

They sure aren't making it easy for the Raptors to tank.

 

I work tonight, so I'll only be able to catch the first half or so. Looking forward to seeing how Bayless does in his first start with the Raptors. Hopefully he gets some significant minutes tonight and we don't see Barbosa playing 20+ minutes at point guard. I want to see Bayless get at least 35 minutes, barring foul trouble.

 

I'm definitely expecting even more chucking from Kleiza tonight. You just know he is going to be gunning all night long against his former team. Hopefully he provides some of his usual hilarious moments because, at this point, that is about all he is good for.

So will the final score be something like 150-145? Seems plausible with how these two teams are playing defense, haha.

 

DeRozan's jumper looked good in the 1st. Best I've seen it look in a long time. This is the kind of mid range jumper that I saw from him at USC.

 

Barbosa has been awesome as well. It sucks that Bayless got into early foul trouble as I was hoping for 30+ minutes from him tonight, but Barbosa has been great off the bench so far. In the two games that he has played point guard, he has looked really good.

 

Weems with a solid 1st quarter. Couple of stupid passes trying to make a highlight play, but other than that he was effective, at least offensively. Definitely the best quarter of ball that I've seen from him in about 2 or 3 weeks.

 

Kleiza has also looked fairly good as well. He isn't just camping at the three point line chucking up long range bombs, which is nice to see. He has been banging down low and, best of all, getting on the class to create second chance opportunities.
