[consmap]

Starting Lineups:

Raptors

PG - Kyle Lowry
SG - DeMar DeRozan
SF - James Johnson
PF - Luis Scola
C - Bismack Biyombo

Mavericks

PG - Raymond Felton
SG - Deron Williams
SF - Wesley Matthews
PF - Dirk Nowitzki

Game Notes

• The Toronto Raptors lost their last game against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. The absences of Jonas Valanciunas and DeMarre Carroll are beginning to take their toll on the team, and these problems were exacerbated with Kyle Lowry's ejection during the second half of the game. The Raptors hope to bounce back against the Mavericks on Wednesday.
• DeMar DeRozan continues his streak of stellar play, totalling 28 points and 7 rebounds against Sacramento. Patrick Patterson was also a significant contributor with 18 points and 8 rebounds, going 4-8 from the three point line.
• Dirk Nowitzki was the leading scorer for the Dallas Mavericks who last played on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies, pouring in 20 points to secure the victory. He was followed by Chandler Parsons with 15 points and 7 rebounds.
• Devin Harris is out indefinitely for the Mavericks with a right hamstring strain and did not play against the Grizzlies.
• The Raptors are currently living and dying by the production of their All Star back court. Kyle Lowry cannot afford to lose his composure and be removed from the game, and DeMar DeRozan must continue to produce. The bench scoring is beginning to come around now that Patrick Patterson and Terrence Ross are hitting more consistently from deep. Spacing in the starting lineup continues to be a concern, with Kyle Lowry the lone 3 point gunslinger among the five players. If Dwane Casey continues to stick to his rotations this problem will persist.

LET'S GO RAPTORS! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

Pretty game thread.

Can't have Lowry going berzerk over the game thread again

[peanutwoozle]

At least this isn't an inferior team, they might actually play with some effort and not look like Eddy Curry and Andrea Bargnani out there.

[MixxAOR]

Tha Brothas From The good Were SHOCKED TO LOSE TO THE SACRAMENTO KINGS.

The Team was thinking and contemplating what did they do wrong...




Then Example(DeRozan) Stood Up And Said "Brothas, We must not let these games shake us..
We Repped against the greatest squads that the Association had on there court and Won" Said Demar
"Yeah most times we battling the opponents, The Refs AND THE SABOTAGER,
yet we only 3 wins out of 1st."
"The Whole Squad Be About It, And even the 12th Man Can Heat Check With The Best"
"We have nothing to be sad about, If the only way the opponent can win against us,
thats with the deck stacked to the opponent side and we still close to 1st,
THEN WE CAN DO DAT DERE EVERYWHERE AND LET THEM STARE..

With the inspiring Words from The Co-Leader Example, the Brothas Happiness Levels Lifted...

"So who's the next squad we facing fam?" asked Silk Road
"Disco Dirk and The Dallas Crew" said Motion(Joseph) "Won't be a easy time Brothas" Motion said again "When I was With Tha 3 Emperors we Faced him many Times and He always Gave Tha Spurs Crew Trouble"
"Disco Dirk Ain't No joke" Said James Johnson. who was up for another challenge after battling
King Cousins to less then 40% shooting

Tha Chief the Most Intense Repper on the squad was ready to right the ship and Was Already Hungry for another BattleLooked at The Squad and Bismack said
"No Backing Down with This Team, Disco Dirk is a Heat Checker of the Caliber of Tha 3 Emperors,
Stop Him We Stop Dallas"
James Johnson With the Assassin Smile, Stood Up and Said "Yo, I'm On Him All Day"

The Team Was Ready For Dallas And was Pumped, The Brothas Building Up One another And Cheering
"HOODOO" Yelled Patterson Who was The Trey Assassin who's shot was as on target as
Dell Curry, Father of Stephen Curry

Patterson aka PATMAN who
HAS The THREE SHOT OF THE KNIGHTED ONE. AS LETHAL A SHOT AS "ALL DAY" KLAY THOMPSON
Yet THE SABOTAGER was CONFUSING PATMAN and TELLING HIM TO DRIVE AND DRIBBLE,
WHEN PATMAN'S A STRAIGHT SHOOTER!!!

Patman said "We Gotta Rack Up the Assists, ball movement and Hockey Assists or the assist that leads to the assist,
Can't let Dallas Get Comfortable, Teamwork's Will Shine a Light To the Win"

The Team Was Feeling the Vibes when They all heard CAW!!!
They Looked Up and saw an Harpy Eagle Soaring High



Then They Knew That It was GAMETIME!!! And They Walked to the Arena.

GAME OVER, YELLED THA GOODS REPPERS WE REP JEHOVAH

CB4Champ greetings! I did want to point out we are only one loss from being out of the playoffs. If we fall from playoff positioning I don't know that I can share your optimism. Can you work on getting our coach fired?
