The roster needs talent across the board but funny thing is that despite Barnes being the best player on the team, this team needs more size. I would not be against drafting a PF.
Anyway, the Raps got the Pacers tonight and have a lead. Looking good too, though that could be the Pacers fault. I'm not sold on the Pacers playoff potential.

So far, a pretty good start. Amazing how different a team looks when they get some starters back.
Hey! Monie Love just sang during a game break. I used to like her.

Freeman-Liberty with 14 points in the first quarter. Raptors up 35-25 after one quarter. Fun game (so far).

Decent effort without Quickley but there's no abundance of shooting on the roster. Only 5 threes made for an entire game will not win in today's NBA. Trent can't go 0-7 when Quickley doesn't play.
Free Lib is making a reasonably good case for a depth roster spot next season. I wont go so far as declaring him the backup PG because I think we'll probably draft a PG, however we shouldn't let him get away. He's solid guard depth for the 10th to 15th roster spot. The only positive surprise to come out of this final stretch of the season. The rest of the fringe players have been very mediocre.

Toronto with a 1-point lead, halfway through the 4th. Gradey with 21 points.
I might be wrong, but I think the magic number is 1 — either Raptors losses or Grizzlies wins — to lock us into the 6th draft position. Barring whatever happens in the lottery, of course.

Somehow managed to lose it, basically locking up 6th which is the position that gives the best single percentage chance possible for San Antonio to get the 7th pick. 29.8 percent chance this ends up 7th.

And 20% change the Spurs get the 8th pick. 0.1% it falls to 10th (which would amuse me greatly).

Yeah but they have to survive 6 selections from the draft lottery, which I know doesn't change the percentage but it just means all those teams below them get those 6 chances to move above the Raptors. What would be nice is if the Raptors were to move up.
