[QUOTE=Velocirap31]Are we playing any bad teams to end the season? I mean come on. Memphis tonight and the Spurs tomorrow. Luckily our 2nd position is on lock down for the most part.[/QUOTE]
The win vs Memphis locked up the Top 2 seed. :cheers:
The 3 bad teams left on the Raptors schedule are the 3 finals games of the season: New York, Philadelphia, and Brooklyn.

Raptors with their final true test of the season vs the Spurs. A win tonight would break their undefeated record at home (38-0 !) and a win for the SA would give them a franchise record 64 wins for a season, surpassing what they did 10 years ago.

Nice. Some shooting practice before the playoffs. Should be 3 easy wins. I'm hoping for a 55-27 season record.

55-27 would be a nice finish. Personally think they'll go either 2-4, or 3-3 the rest of the way.
I could see Casey resting players, particularly KL, the last 6 games though.

Tough game tonight.
CHA is 21-8 since Feb. 1, & are fighting for home court in the playoffs.

Batum and Jefferson might not play tonight.
Re: Official 2015-16 Toronto Raptors Regular Season Game Thread
[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]Batum and Jefferson....[/QUOTE]
Hope not.
Batum & AJ are huge cogs in their offense.
Of course, that just means it'll be the Kemba Walker show (as usual):hammerhead:

...[URL="http://www.indycornrows.com/2016/4/12/11419128/indiana-pacers-to-face-toronto-raptors-in-nba-playoffs"]While Indiana looked to return to playoff form this season[/URL], Toronto had a franchise best season, currently sitting at 55-26, locking up the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.
Toronto won the season series between the two teams 3-1, sending Indiana full circle after opening their regular season against the Raptors in Toronto.
In that opening meeting, Toronto outscored Indiana 35-23 in the 3rd, but Indiana fought back in the 4th to tie the game up 95-95, before losing 106-99 in what was an eerily similar way the Pacers managed to lose a lot of games all season.
Indiana rebounded in the teams' 2nd meeting, with a 26-5 blitzing to open the game in Indianapolis setting the tone for an easy 106-90 Pacers win.
The 3rd meeting was a capsule of Indiana's frustrating season, with missed free throws by Monta Ellis late giving away a win in OT. The Pacers were outshot at the free throw line 38-23 in the loss.
In the final meeting in Toronto, it was the Pacers who had a not-so-pleasant no-show against the Raptors reserves, losing in disappointing fashion 111-98.
Toronto will be justifiably favored, but the Pacers had opportunities throughout the series to swing it in their favor, something they'll have a chance to rectify in the the two teams' 1st ever postseason meeting.
Game 1 in Toronto will tip off this weekend....
