LOS ANGELES - With sluggish starts costing his team two of their last three games, Dwane Casey has considered making a change to the lineup ahead of Friday nights contest against the Clippers. The Raptors have been outscored 88-66 in the opening quarter over a three-game span to begin the month of February. Their most recent loss, 109-101 in Sacramento on Wednesday, was eerily similar to Saturdays defeat at the hands of the Trail Blazers. After digging themselves an early hole on both nights, the Raptors were unable to close out late-game comeback bids, forcing Casey to question his first units disposition. "Every team has their cross to bear and ours is starting games," he said after practice Thursday afternoon. "Whether weve got to change the lineup to start the game or whatever, I dont know we have to see." "Thats been our problem and it just didnt start [in Sacramento Wednesday], its been going on for a while. Weve been able to dig out of it but you cant get hit like that and expect to bounce back that way every game, it just takes too much of a toll on your body." In many ways the Raptors have been defeating themselves. Over that three-game stretch they held opponents to 43 per cent shooting in the first quarter, an impressive mark, but the hustle stats tell a different story. Toronto was out-rebounded in the opening 12 minutes of each game and put both Portland and Sacramento on the line 12 times. "We addressed it, we talked about it," Casey said, citing his teams focus, toughness and attention to detail. If Casey does opt to shake up his starting lineup in Los Angles, even temporarily, the most likely casualty would be slumping California-native Amir Johnson. Johnson has been hampered by a sore right ankle after turning it late in last weeks win over Orlando. He has logged fewer than 20 minutes in just six games this season, yet three of those have come in the last four contests. The forward has been Torontos most reliable and valuable player over the last three years but its clear he hasnt been himself, even before his most recent injury. After averaging 13.8 points and 8.3 rebounds on 63 per cent shooting in December, Johnsons production dropped last month, scoring 9.5 points and grabbing 6.0 rebounds a night. His 47 per cent field goal shooting in January was his lowest in a full month since March of 2011. As a team the Raptors surrendered 11 points more than they scored with Johnson on the floor in the month. Johnson, who routinely tops the team in the plus/minus stat, was the only Raptor (minimum 50 minutes) that was a net-minus in January, per NBA.com/stats. Mired in a similar slump, and with the team struggling late in November, Johnson was pulled from the starting lineup in favour of Tyler Hansbrough (Johnson told the Toronto Sun that he had requested a move to the bench). Johnson would go on to play his best basketball of the season over the following nine games, averaging 18.0 points and 9.6 rebounds on 68 per cent shooting, and getting his starting job back after three games when Hansbrough went down with an ankle injury. Poised to make a run at the playoffs, the Raptors need Johnson, a nine-year veteran, healthy and focused late in the season. Another temporary demotion could be in the best interest of both the Raptors and their best defensive player. Although Hansbrough could be a candidate to replace him should a change be made, without disrupting the chemistry of the second unit, he has fallen out of Caseys regular rotation since returning from injury. Patrick Patterson would seem to be the most logical choice. Often the first player of Torontos bench, Patterson has been consistently effective since coming over in the trade from Sacramento in December. The forward has scored in double figures in 12 of his last 20 games, averaging 11.1 points and 5.5 rebounds, shooting 52 per cent from the field and connecting on 17 of his 35 attempts from three-point range over that stretch. The Raptors have outscored opponents by 132 points when hes been on the floor during that span. Manu Ginobili Jersey .

Henrik Samuelsson scored twice and Laurent Brossoit made 35 saves as the defending champion Oil Kings opened the series with a 4-1 win over the Portland Winterhawks on Friday. Edmonton defeated Portland in seven games last season, including a victory in Game 1. Dylan Wruck and Curtis Lazar added goals, and Stephane Legault kicked in three assists for the Oil Kings, who have scored 75 times in 17 playoff games this season. Taylor Leier scored the only goal for the Winterhawks, who outshot Edmonton 36-29 but had trouble solving Brossoit, who leads the WHL with a 1.54 goals-against average in the playoffs. "In the first three (playoff) series there were times Id go long periods of time without seeing a shot," said Brossoit. "Ask any goalie, they love seeing a consistent amount of shots. Im just glad I was seeing the puck well tonight." The Winterhawks dominated the first period, but the Oil Kings scored the only goal on their first shot of a game. Dylan Wruck picked up a loose puck in the slot and backhanded it over Portland goalie Mac Carruth for a 1-0 lead at the 2:03 mark. Portland put 16 shots on Brossoit in the first, and had the puck in Edmonton territory most of the period. "I thought we were outstanding in the first period, we couldve easily had three, four or five goals," said Portland coach Travis Green. The Winterhawks appeared to have scored a tying goal in the first period, but video review showed that Brendan Leipsic kicked the puck past Brossoit. "That (disallowed goal) brought us down a little bit," Green admitted. "But overall, I wasnt too disappointed in ouur game.dddddddddddd" Edmonton regained its footing in the second period and pushed the lead to 2-0 at 11:17 of the second period when Stephane Legault forced a Portland turnover and found Samuelsson, who beat Carruth with a wrist shot to the glove side. "We made a few adjustments to settle the guys down for the second period," said Edmonton coach Derek Laxdal. "Portland came out with a lot of energy in the first and the crowd was electric. We just had to relax and stick to the game plan." Leier gave Portland life with a rebound goal three minutes into the third to make it 2-1, but Samuelsson silenced the crowd with his second of the game 47 seconds later to rebuild a two-goal advantage. Lazar took advantage of a strange carom off the end boards, batting a bouncing puck past Carruth to get an insurance goal midway through the third. Carruth stopped 25 of 29 shots for the Winterhawks, who went 0 for 4 with the man advantage. The Oil Kings failed to score on their only power play. Edmonton kept Portlands top line of Leipsic, Nicolas Petan and Ty Rattie -- who have combined for 73 points this post-season -- completely off the scoresheet. "Thats probably the best line in major junior hockey and theyre tough to contain," Laxdal said. "We have to do it by committee, and we have to have great puck management against them." Portland dropped Game 1 last season to the Oil Kings, but rallied to force a seventh game. The Winterhawks arent about to panic after surrendering home-ice advantage after one game. "We didnt think we were going to sweep Edmonton," said Green. "Its one game and theres no sense in dwelling on it too much. Its a long series and Im confident we can win anywhere."
