Toronto Raptors Vs. Miami Heat: January 5th 2014

[planetmars]

To have a chance at winning this game, the Raptors need to shut down the role players. When guys like Lewis, Cole, Allen, or Battier have big games then the Raptors have no chance. Lebron/Wade/Bosh always end up getting theirs.. but the other guys should be shut down.

I don't think we have a real chance to shut down their role players.

We need to pack the paint and let LBJ shot jumpshots. If he misses few...

This team is created perfectly, too much vet power

I just pray the last 13 games are not the team version of another magical 13 game streak Raptor fans once experienced.

(knock on wood)

[Superjudge]

why waste your life making that?

You kidding me, that was awesome.

hahaha

A little good clean trash talking really

[Jclaw]

That's the eerie vibe I'm getting. As always, would love to be in Masai's head now. How can you make sense of this?

So I'm not sure if its been mentioned, but if we win tonight, we'll be in 3rd Place ... Like WHOA.

[caccia]

Even if we don't win tonight, I'll be satisfied if I see an all-out effort for 48 minutes and the high intensity defence that we've gotten used to seeing recently. I'd love to see Amir and JV used a lot down low offensively and the rebounding is where we should really outdo Miami.

Hansbrough is officially listed as doubtful. Although he seems to be the forgotten man on the team--along with Novak--I doubt that the rebounding will be any great shakes without him. Likewise, it would be very helpful to have Tyler against his old team, Indiana, on Tuesday.

How about you just don't say this at all instead of saying it and then sarcastically "knocking on wood" when we all know you hope Lowry is dealt immediately and we start losing again?

Seriously you're not fooling anyone. Pro-tanker here in case anyone thinks I'm an angry anti-tanker.

He has a valid point man. Why don't you actually read the post instead of just looking at who posts it?

I read the post.... that's how I responded to it.

He makes this comment or similar ones all the time.

[Masai Ujiri]

Anyway on a positive note.

IF we somehow win in Miami tonight (do not see this happening AT ALL), we will be 3rd in the Eastern Conference at 17-15.

We would also be just 6.5 games back of the Heat for 2nd lol

[KazanTheMan]

Can this game just start?!?!?! Damn, I can't wait any longer haha.

[Quintarka]

if we beat the heat we will have beaten the top 3 contenders this year 1.heat 2. Pacers 3. OK city. (my estimation) and i cant remember the last time i can say that
