Game 67 Raptors at Pacers

Well i'm not sure what the Raptors need anymore. The game yesterday looked good to start but after a rainstorm of 3's Toronto just looked deflated. I'd like to say the schedule gets a little easier now, but really you can't discount any NBA team. Pacers and Raptors tonight!

• Indiana has been playing exceptionally well as of late, fighting Charlotte for that 7th place in the East and trying to secure a playoff spot.
• Though Paul George is still out after suffering that horrific broken leg last summer. Still get chills thinking about it. Though George Hill, Luis Scola and Roy Hibbert have all been stepping up as of late.
• Raptors need 48 solid minutes. Defend the 3 ball and get the big guys involved early and often. Amir Johnson played a good game against Portland as did Jonas Valanciunas, but the latter only played around 25 minutes. He needs to get involved more if the team is going to have success.

Song of the Day

Interpol - "Pace Is The Trick"

Interpol are an indie/rock group from New York formed in the late 90's. When they finally released their debut album in 2002 Turn On The Bright Lights blew critics and listeners away.  It's their thrid album Our Love To Admire where we find today's track "Pace Is The Trick". Though not as critically praised as previous efforts, the album still found the group mastering their brand of  free flowing mope-rock. They released an album in 2014 and while on tour for supporting that album they got caught in that devastating snow storm that swallowed most of upper state New York with their tour bus being buried under snow for over 50 hours.

A road win today would be huge!
