Game 37: Raptors @ Clippers, 7:30PM PST

LAC -10.5, O/U 237

Raps scored over 130 pts in each of their last three road games. They barely lost to the Lakers last night by one point, primarily because they couldn't defend AD and Lebron in crunchtime. Size matters and all of their starter "bigs" are smaller than AD and Lebron.  The TOR offense is high speed and nearly unstoppable when they are moving. They're going to be a tough team to defend for the slower Clippers. But the Clips have been defending well lately and should be able to slow them down... if they come out awake are ready to play hard from the start. Don't sleep on this team.

The spread looks high to me. But this could be a wild and unpredictable game so I wouldn't bet on it.

There goes some of the Clippers size advantage:

Speaking of Ontario Clippers, apparently Jordan Miller (our 2nd rounder) is absolutely destroying the competition over there. He's another wing, probably more of a SG, so I don't see how he can get any PT on the main roster but could be another 2nd round hit like Mann.

Yeah I've seen a few impressive boxscores from him. Today he had 27 points on 9-for-12 shooting.

Game wasn't over.


Jordan Miller finished with 36 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists on 10-for-14 shooting.

Exactly the type of game I was fearing. Raptors winning and they are short handed.

[corkscrew]

They're making 58% of their shots, we are making 48% of our shots. That can't last.

... Can it?..

Zu is being lazy, too much ball watching.

Clips need to wake the fuck up and start playing grown-man defense in the 4th.

[hitnrun24]

Raptors hung in there til the end, but never really in doubt in the 4th. Clippers shot quality just remains stellar. Terance is regressing to the mean in a big way this month.

This was one of those lazy games until the fourth, where we flipped a switch. I do not like when we do that, but we usually win those games.

Raps have some good young talent.
So the b2b didn’t affect them at all.
