Knicks · GT: Knicks @ Raptors (Sun 1/15 3pm EST) - Civil War 2 - will the North win again? (page 1)

djsunyc @ 1/14/2017 5:16 PM
from the raptors pov:

starters (probable): lowry, dd, demarre, bebe, jonas
but if the knicks go small and start melo at the 4, then it could be: lowry, dd, powell, demarre, jonas

patterson is banged up and may be held out for another game. he is the glue of the team - when he's on the court, the raptors net rating is through the roof (the best and 2nd best lineup in the entire nba when he's on the court with the raptors).

if lowry is ballin then we are tough to beat. demar has taken his game to another level this year too.

historically, rose and noah killed us with the bulls so that may carryover with the knicks.

This will be a loss most likely.
No KP. Raps one of the best teams in the East.

Just hope the defensive commitment of the last 2 games continues. Doesn't matter if we lose, we need to install good habits.

Tomorrow's game against Atlanta is the one we really need to get.

Only hope today is if our bench will be super productive and of course we need to play high level defense today

This is the kind of game that we just hope we can compete in and hope we're close enough in the end to pull off a win.

Because we all know we never win games vs the raptors when dj appears in the game thread

If we are not getting blown out by half time I'll tune in.

So far looks good, i like how we play without KP, maybe trade him ?
holfresh @ 1/15/2017 3:37 PM
Knicks can compete with the Raptors because they play a half court style..Our bench is thin tho...
yellowboy90 @ 1/15/2017 3:39 PM
I think people are watching but they have nothing to post about. KP not playing probably hurts too
