  • Toronto Raptors (37-28) @ Atlanta Hawks (30-35)

    Let's go boys!

    They're on a four game win streak which kind of sucks. I thought they were spent.
    Another interesting challenge for JV tonight, Antic pretty much exclusively shoots threes, and makes a number of them. I don't like our small ball lineups without Patterson, so he's gotta be good.

    Edit- just checked and their win streak was against Mil, UTA, CHA and DEN, so not the best, but still.

      Can't underestimate the Hawks. They've won 4 straight games, so they're confidence is sky high.

      Raptors need to play their game and execute. This is a must win game. DeRozan needs to step up.

            Get ready for some strange goings-on in Atlanta. Will someone foul out with 5 fouls? Will the clock mysteriously add or lose time? Will Raptor points be added when they score? Will there be more than 5,000 people in the arena? Tune in to find out all this and more......

            It's an interesting two weeks for Toronto. Starting tonight, it's nine games in 14 days, including three back-to-backs but there are a lot of "should win" games on tap (Boston twice, Orlando, Cleveland (no Irving), Atlanta twice). A good stretch (e.g. 6-3) will make it very difficult for anyone to catch them barring a total collapse over the last two weeks.

              Very big games versus Atlanta

              Another at home on Friday... Or Sunday?

              Every win matters for the hawks

                It's always tough to play in Atlanta... for 'some' reason. If you know what I mean.

                Anyway.

                  Canned crowd noise was always my favourite in Hotlanta.

                    How many games has Atlanta had nationally in the US this year? I have no idea, but if they have had a few already, well then I'm sure they won't have the same motivation to completely bring it the Raptor players will.

                      I heard they have a laugh-track too. Topical.

                            Lets get the W. Especially since its going to be broadcast nation wide in the US as well.
                            I know this may be a bit controversial but I think the Raptors have proven that they're the best team in the NBA from Canada
