The Toronto Raptors trained on Tuesday ahead of their NBA fixture against the Orlando Magic in London on Thursday
SOUNDBITE (English): Dwane Casey, Toronto coach
(on being excited about being in London) "We're excited about it, I think it's a great opportunity for us to expand the Toronto Raptor brand and the NBA brand around the world. There's some great fans in this part of the world so we're excited to be here."SOUNDBITE (English): Dwane Casey, Toronto coach
(on recovering from the journey) "We do our sleep study to make sure we get the right amount of sleep. It is very difficult to do. The thing about it Orlando have to go through the same thing, unless they have some magic wand they can get through there sleep with."SOUNDBITE (English): Dwane Casey, Toronto coach
(on beating Orlando) "But again for me it's a business trip, an all-out business trip. We're here to play the Orlando Magic. London is a great city but this is a business trip. So we don't want to lose sight of that. I hope our players enjoy the city but not lose sight of the fact that we have a very tough foe to play against in Orlando, who beat us earlier as you mentioned that we can't forget about."SOUNDBITE (English): DeMar DeRozan
(on trying to win the eastern conference) "That's our goal. I mean, they are the top team in our conference. We try to go out there and compete with very single team. You know every team in our conference is definitely extremely good. And everything is up for grabs and it's going to be a fight all the way downhill so we'll see."SOUNDBITE (English): Kyle Lowry
(on growing at Toronto) "I think the organisation, the team, it's just been the best situation for me to grow as a player, as an individual, as a man. And I have been fortunate to play with one of the best two guards in the NBA in DeMar, so it makes life a lot easier."
