On paper, this is an easy game, even without our 3 starters and Delonte.

On the court... well, should be an easy game too, hopefully we take a big lead early on and cruise to the end while resting the starters for tomorrow's back to back.

TP FL and go C's.

Harangody might be useful against Joey Dorsey. I doubt Dorsey is used to defending a perimeter big like Harangody. They could cause some problems for Dorsey and their interior D. 

Both Ed Davis and Amir Johnson usually do a good job defending perimeter bigs.

Kleiza poses too large of a threat offensively for Harangody to defend him.

Jose Calderon and Leandro Barbosa are a very effective 1-2 punch at the point guard position.

Calderon as the wonderful offensive facilitator and Barbosa as the change of pace scoring machine. They complement one another very well and create different matchup problems for their opponent.

I wished Toronto used that as their main rotation instead of giving minutes to Jerryd Bayless.

I'd rather see Daniels on Calderon and have Nate get Barbosa.
