Game Thread: Spurs vs Raptors -- Sat. (4/2) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

At home tonight as we face a 51-24 Raptors team that are winners of 10 of their last 14, including a victory at Memphis last night. They're playing good basketball right now so this will be a tough test at home for the Spurs. Everyone is expected to play for us. No injury report for Toronto as of yet. No excuses. Let's get it.

The ultimate stretch four. :lol

I tuned into the middile of the game last night not knowing he was on the broadcast, then someone started doing New England accents....that's Matty B!

Matty looking good as a commentator. He should stay there for the rest of the season/end of career.

Isn't it 3.30 Riga time?

He should have always been a d-leaguer, tbh.

[FlAVaK]

Isn't it 3.30 Riga time?

Should be. Don´t know about "summer" time in Riga. But it´s 2:30 in Germany, and Riga is usually 1 hour ahead...

[timtonymanu]

CoJo's return today. Should get a good ovation.

[Slomo]

My bad on the Riga Time.

FIFY

[Robz4000]

The damage has already been done. We know what you did.

[cd98]

This Raptors team is under the radar good. Just the kind of team to steal a win on our home court. Spurs will have to bring their A game.

Nice work on the thread-start. Links, pics, etc. Lots of work goes into that. :tu

[TampaDude]

The Dubs just lost their first game at home all season last night by 3 points, so it's 100% mortal lock guaranteed that we lose our first home game this season tonight...by 4 points. It's just the way it has to be. Book it.

[KenziE]

Spurs in a blow out .... The revenge game

NO Derozan...Pop rest shtick has become a league fad :lol..

716415742804172801

[resistanze]

Derozan rested too

[apalisoc_9]

There really is no reason for toronto to rest when they still have a legit chance of getting the first seed. I guess casey is trying to be hip.

Still, Lowry has been pretty banged up..maybe its the right call

No Lowry or DeRozan. That streak is over.

[SpursFan86]

Wow, no Lowry or DeRozan? Absolutely no excuse for us to lose. 39-0 is all but cemented...let's finish it early so the old guys don't have to work too much.

[Robz4000]

Wow, no Lowry or DeRozan? Absolutely no excuse for us to lose. 39-0 is all but cemented...let's finish it early so the old guys don't have to work too much.

They barely beat a Pelicans team that was D-league level at best. Could see a loss tonight; Toronto is pretty good defensively.

[PrimeMinister]

Derozan rested too

So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty

Sleepy but ready to go

GO SPURS GO

[spursistan]

Raptors resting more because they think they have no chance on b2b after squeaking by a depleted Memphis team..so why not muck it up few reserves..

[ace3g]

Paul Garcia PS pAulGarciaPS
(https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaPS) With a full lineup, Jonathon Simmons and Matt Bonner are the Spurs' two inactives tonight. Nice applause for Cojo by the crowd.

I have the sneaking suspicion that the imperative to harp on the regular season undefeated streak will be a lot less for ESPN now that we own in and not the golden child.

If we're still perfect at home, I bet GS brings a full lineup to town ready to snap our streak.
