Game #1 - Atlanta Hawks 102 - Toronto Raptors 109 (F)

[Jclaw]

Last year kind of made you forget that we always got put in our place by the Hawks in the past. Hope the new trend continues.

I'd go with "not". The OP is more about the party I think.

Any peeps from the Republic heading to Jurassic Park? If so hollaaa!

I'll be heading down with a few friends myself. Would be nice to meet some fellow RR soldiers.

Let's Go Raptors!!!!!

Meh, I'm going with "sure, why not".

Game Thread it is, woohoo! I don't see another one, and its Game Day!

Hope we don't take these guys lightly. A healthy Hawks team has always given us trouble. I'd say they're the most underrated team in the East.

It'll be easy to get caught up in all the opening day hoopla, but our guys need to be focused from the tip.

The one saving grace, Horford has NOT looked good in pre-season. Looks like he's still shaking off the rust.

So mad I wont be able to watch this game live have it set to record tho. Sadly I'll have to avoid RR and twitter all night to avoid spoilers.

Agreed. Hawks are very scary on D, especially at our weakest position (SF). Carroll and Thabo ain't no joke.

@JLew1050: Greg Stiemsma turned an ankle, he'll be inactive for tonight's opener. Lucas Nogueira will dress in his place

Stiemsma out...Nogueira in! Sad that Greg is hurt, but I hope that Bebe can get some run here and there.
