Gameday: Raptors vs Warriors – Mar 13/10

By Arsenalist 13 Raps

On paper we win this, but on paper we should’ve also won against Philadelphia and Sacramento. It’s a matchup of the third and fourth highest scoring teams, and the worst and third-worst defensive teams. The Warriors have 17 wins on the season and have lost six straight by an average of 10.2 points.

Out-worked by a team out of the playoffs

By Arsenalist 63 Raps

We had everything to play for but got outworked by a team that had nothing to play for. That is very difficult to both understand and stomach given we’re in the thick of a playoff race and just had the Bucks leapfrog us for 5th place.
