Big news last night is Lowry taking shots with his injured hand. Still no timetable, but it certainly looks like steady progress.

Yep the BIG news is indeed Lowry taking shots. That they are having to go toe to toe with clubs like Charlotte just shows they aren't good enough. They have managed to scrape by without Lowry but clearly aren't going anywhere without him in the lineup. I'm hoping for 3 or 4 games before the playoffs.
They gel quickly enough and with their much improved defenses they have a legit shot. Especially with the Cavs stumbling down the final stretch. Yeah no doubt they turn it on for the playoffs but they don't look near as strong as last year.
Funny isn't though how as a Raps fan you can't go into a playoffs with confidence. Despite winning seasons and player improvement and good additions. You still don't know what you will get from them. Can only hope for the best!
