Tonight is a 7:30 tip off against the new look Los Angeles Clippers. This begins the Raptors 3 game preseason road trip to the West. Unfortunately, as this is not a home game, the game will not be available on Raptors NBA TV. However, it is still available on NBA League Pass.
What to watch for:
- The new look Clippers said bye bye to Elton Brand and hello to, most notably, Marcus Camby and Baron Davis. It will be interesting to see how Camby and Kaman work together in the post, along with Baron feeding them the ball.
- The battle over the Raptor's back up point guard continues tonight. Last game, Will Solomon got three times as many minutes as Roko. Despite Solomons rocky game with 5 turnovers and shooting a miserable 3 - 15 last game, and Roko's less than impressive play, Sam Mitchell assured his guards that "they're doing fine", and all they need to do is keep practicing and working hard.
- Joey Graham came back from his hamstring injury with a bang. Starting last game, in 27 minutes he was able to put up 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Will Joey start tonight? Or if he doesn't, will he be able to keep his production up coming off the bench?
- The Raptors get their first look at Clippers' first round draft choice, Eric Gordon. In his Freshman and only season playing for Indiana University, he averaged 20.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game, making 33.7% of his three-point shots and leading the Big Ten in scoring. He was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year and to the First Team of the Big Ten Conference.
