Scotiabank Arena - Toronto, ON

[Deleterious]

They already have Holland listed as out with personal reasons.  

[Tigeraholic1]

I am suprised we have not seen suspension decisions yet. Sexton already got his 35K flying the bird fine.

[Deleterious]

Tolu Smith made the trip to Toronto.  Probably in anticipation of the suspensions coming down this afternoon.  

[Deleterious]

7 games for Stew and 2 for Duren.

 

[Tigeraholic1]

Not terrible, could have been worse for Stew.

[Deleterious]

That is a long break for Stew when you throw in the all star break.   His first game back is March 3rd against Cleveland.  

[Deleterious]

The league said Duren can participate in all star weekend even though he is suspended.  

[1984Echoes]

And Diabate and Bridges got 4 games each.

Perfectly fine with that and close to what I expected.

Glad Diabate got twice what Duren received... IMO, he instigated.

he's lucky he only got 7.

One positive from this?  This isn't the Red Wings where you can cross check our captain in the neck and skate away like nothing happened. You run at our top guys..you're going to pay.

Duren stepped up for Stew awhile ago and now Stew is throwing hands for JD.  Circumstances could be better..but it' good to know we have a team.  A team that's kinda melding the Go To Work identity with the Bad Boys identity.

[Betrayer]

Glad it wasn't more games for Stew, but 7 still hurts the team a ton. This is the toughest part of their schedule down the stretch where you want to keep your lead in the East. But, I guess it's fitting for the team that likes to give up leads and win tough games down the stretch. Looks like they'll be trying to do the same thing with their playoff standings.

I would've given Bridges 6 games. One less than Stew who gets the extra one for coming off the bench. This fight doesn't get escalated without Bridges. He immediately jumped into a 2 man fight and shoved Duren. Then he ran around the crowd after Diabate was restrained and it could have been over in order to take a closed fist swing at Duren who was walking away, which is what set Stew off. Maybe I'm biased because a guy who beats his wife into the hospital should no longer have the privilege to play in the NBA, but I also feel like he was the one who took this thing from a 3 to a 10.

I thought Duren should've been just 1 game, but the league needs the Knicks to win a national TV game against us, so why not toss an extra one in there.

I hope Paul Reed can stay out of foul problems.

[Deleterious]

Raptors don't have any C's worth mentioning, so losing Stew and Duren isn't a huge deal.

[Sports_Freak]

Paul Reed the Scoring Machine!!

[Deleterious]

Paul Reed providing another data point on why you never pay Duren.  

[Tigeraholic1]

Every time Johnny says Paul Reed take a drink.

[Tigeraholic1]

Barnes with three fouls in the 1st quarter is helpful.

 

[Hart]

Who taught Huerter how to play defense?  That is embarrasing.  Apparently, he doesn't know how to bend his knees and move his feet.

Pretty sure they plan to pay him.  Might as well accept it.  

And quite honestly, without a replacement, they would be taking a big step back without him.

If he gets a max offer  you think they will match it?  Stop.

Pistons are 7-1 without Duren this year.  Get a cheap college rim running center and they are fine.  Probably better actually, because you can take the money they would spend on him and go get some actual help.  

 

[Deleterious]

Bench isn't good tonight.  Honestly, three of the starters haven't been that hot either.  This game has been all Cade and Reed.  

[Tigeraholic1]

15 point lead at half, I’ll take it.

i find it hilarious that people really thought scottie barnes was better than cade cunningham.
