Game 79 Pacers at Raptors

Yes the Raptors dropped one last night, but there some silver linings to the clouds that hang over a loss. Only 2 home games left and one of them is tonight as Indiana comes to play

• DEMARRE CARROLL IS BACK!! He returned last night to limited minutes. Though he only scored 5 points, his athleticism didn't seem hampered by his time off at all. He made some hustle plays and his presence was a sigh of relief to those worried about his effectiveness come playoff time
• Tonight's game is a preview of a potential first round paring in the playoffs. While Toronto is locked in at 2nd, the Pacers are jockeying for that 7th spot. Also with an Indiana win tonight the Bulls will be knocked out of playoff potential
• Indiana is on a 3 game win streak, seemingly hellbent on clinching a playoff berth. The last time the Raptors faced them they were without some key players, namely Jonas Valanciunas. In his absence though Bismack Biyombo set a franchise high 25 rebounds. I fully expect Biz to get some serious burn tonight

Tonight's Raptor Track!

Systems Officer - "Pacer"

I don't know shit about this band. This track though is pretty sweet though. Apparently it was on the soundtrack for The Vampire Diaries and it's as old as at least 2009. Anyone got any info drop me a lizzy.

Raptors 2nd in East 52-26! Pacers 7th in East 42-36!
