Why is Mike Conley out?

Rest

Hopefully, just 52-23 vs 23-52

I swear, watching Naz Reid, it feels like he shoots about 90% from 3.

Really good extra pass from Ant to Naz there

Another crappy start, but we've already taken the lead.

I was just thinking that. Ant is beat up with dead legs. If anybody needs a game off it's him. My guess is he refuses to sit.

ANT HIT A 3!!!!!

"In a related note, their '24 1st round pick is top-6 protected (SAS, Poeltl). They currently have the 6th worst record & a 45.8% chance of keeping the pick heading into the draft lottery." - I am not sure how that will impact the game?

How is JMcD playing against his brother? Are they going to get in a fight? I am traveling and just looking at scores.

Unfortunately they haven't been guarding each other yet. Hopefully at some point.

Toronto board talks about Jalen like most fans here talk about Wendell.

That's a shame.

We need to be stretching the lead not letting them hang around.

Toronto board talks about Jalen like most fans here talk about Wendell.

Last year, there was a number of teams that wanted Jalen in free agency. But he has just been awful this year for some reason.

9.8 MIN, 16.9% 3P, 1.5 RB, 0.6 AST, 3.1 PTS

This is so bad, I was hoping TOR would just buy him out of his two year $9.2 mil deal. I wouldn’t have minded investing a vet min deal and a roster spot on him, even if he just helped Jaden develop 10%. But even $4.7 mil for next year is a bad contract.

Some of these Raptor missed shots aren’t even close. There’s no reason TOR should be this close, with half their team out.

Better get moving, and help the tanking Raptors improve on their 14-game losing streak.

The most expensive player the Raptors has put on the floor is rookie Grady Dick at $4.5 mil.

I think Wolves are really trying. Ant and KA are making 3pt shoots, so we have to win.

So, if they lose by 30, it would still be a good value investment in terms of points per dollar spend

Earlier this season some posters on this board were calling for Slo-Mo's head. I'm glad Wolves management didn't listen to them.

Rudy got fouled on a dunk, it wasn't called and that led to a raptors fast break. Pizza me off.
